CAN | Jaki Liebezeit drumming style

[@cobb_thedrummer]

CobbTV is proud to present the most requested drumming style video for this channel, Jaki Liebezeit from Can. Thanks for watching 🤘 [00:00] Intro [01:05] Background [01:50] One More Night [02:33] Halleluwah [03:08] Soup [03:49] Cascade Waltz [04:26] Vitamin C [05:38] Paperhouse [06:53] Vernal Equinox [07:20] Outro

[@paulbogan3400]

The thing I always loved about Jaki's drumming is that it's tight but never sounds robotic.

[@BGeezy4sheezy]

Yeah it sounded like a hip hop drum machine

[@peffken8834]

Wow, well discribed, good summary!

[@je7647]

Klaus dinger from NEU! is another kraut drummer I highly rate, extremely tight.

[@kelechi_77]

He needs to make an episode on him

[@periurban]

I only got to see Jaki Leibezeit play once. Genius.

[@peffken8834]

But you've seen him... that's gold, same as if you had seen him twice...

[@gris77]

Amazing! The only person on youtube who actually shows how you play Halleluwah.

[@MrROCKNROLLA999]

Watching this made me realize how much Thee Oh Sees' drums are influenced by Can

[@johnned4848]

Jaki was a huge influence on another drummer you should feature in your personal style series: John Maher of the Buzzcocks. The secret weapon who could make tricky time signatures, motorik bears, and punk thrash groove so seamlessly. One of the most under appreciated greats

[@pworminkle]

motorik bears 🐻🐻🐻

[@johnned4848]

@@pworminkle oops! Motorik Bears would be a good band name 🐻

[@drsloan]

I never connected Jaki with Maher before, but now I hear it! Love connecting the dots.

[@movimentodoscacos]

YES!! Love your channel, Jaki is one of the greatest ever. RIP

[@RalphBellairs]

Thanks for doing this feature on my favourite drummer, Cobb. I feel that he doesn't get enough recognition. Also happy that you used my original request comment at the start of the video!🙂

[@SifuSong78]

I only recently discovered CAN a year or so ago. And the drums definitely stood out to me. There were a couple of other candidates I had for your style videos. Zach Barocas of Jawbox, Peter Edward Clark aka Budgie of Siouxsie & the Banchees, and Sigtryggur Baldursson of the Sugarcubes. The one thing all three of these guys have in common is they love incorporating the toms into their grooves. Especially Barocas, stock beats do not exist to this man. So inventive. Love the channel by the way. I have been playing for 30 years and I still learn something new with your videos.

[@pigguy]

Jaki is my all time favorite drummer, and this video is killer. Thanks!

[@MrPaulbyron]

Jaki's time is perfect, but does not sound like a machine. It reminds me of the imperfections in the designnof the Roman columns that made them look perfect.

[@TruthWielders]

Ege Bamyasi.. what a wonderful album now ! I always considered this drummer as way in advance for his time ! Such breath !

[@Yusabich]

He really was can’s secret weapon

[@alexnejako777]

Vitamin C! awesome

[@shurgars]

Hands down favoriter drummer for me. Everything about it from the playing style to the drum sound and the produktion. Chefs kiss

[@peffken8834]

So thanks to bringing Jaki's drumming up... I don't want to criticize you, I want to point out more that Jaki always had a 'punch', even when he was only playing with soft drumsticks. And of course his machine-like tightness. @paulbogan3400 wrote here 'he is tight without sounding like a drum machine (robotic)' - and that was his talent: shifting accents forward in tempo, letting the bass drum lag slightly behind while the hi-hat rushes forward like a metronome. In 'Halleluwah' and 'Yoo do right' he uses a micro-pause with the snare after every bar. One should also mention the cool drum/hi-hat overdubbings in 'Halleluwah', which underline the tight beat by 'wandering' around it. Nobody could play as tightly, tight and at the same time laidback as Jaki. Do you know Joachim Witt, 'Der Goldene Reiter'?! 😉

[@marek9741]

I love CAN! Awesome!

[@astraplaneta4656]

Woo I made it into the video! great video, did not realise thats what he's doing in Soup

[@MrROCKNROLLA999]

Awesome vid!!! This dude was such a good and underrated drummer

[@libitum_ad]

thank you for doing this! love your style of videomaking

[@dirkscab8254]

Liebezeit the metronome Is on the groove Is in the zone With loose eight armed efficiencies And Jazz primed electricity He’ll take us where we need to go He’ll break the bank Direct the flow And give to you And give to me Our daily dose Of Vitamin C

[@salahmoharram6136]

great video! Also I I really like the sound of your kit in general. I'm hearing it through youtube but the deadness of the snare is very satisfying.

[@FlowCharge]

thanks, love Can, also love your Joy Division shirt ;-p

[@Brannington]

YESSSSSSSSS IM STILL SITTING THROUGH THE ADS BUT YESSS IVE BEEN WAITING THANK YOU COBB

[@Brannington]

I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE an episode on Klaus Dinger too!!!!!!

[@krisius1]

Dude, this was dope. I’ve been diving into jaki drumming, and I figured you were a fellow morris fan by the closer shirt. Well done, your playing is tight.

[@ben-c5t]

Good Work! Very little footage of this magician is online. And the Material with Bernd Friedman is not first Choice, in my personal ears.

[@josephmclean4989]

You gotta do Steven Perkins of Jane’s Addiction

[@quinncrimmins7371]

Never clicked so fast

[@MiguelPeraltaCrespo]

Great video bro! This is gold!

[@AutiSam1974]

Thank you!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@Brannington]

ALSO do you look like Damo Suzuki in this video on purpose???? 🤣🤣🤣🤣💚💚💚💚

[@eluzzyalegria]

Jaki is my favorite drummer of all time. I wish you could make a video about Jon Theodore with The Mars Volta. Greetings from Mexico City

[@jorefad130]

I recommend Deep Turtle and their drummer Mikko Saaristo, an amazing blend of jazz and hardcore punk drums

[@swingAE86]

OH HELL YEAH

[@soundlea]

Thank you! Pls review Drumbo (Captain Beefheart drummer)

[@pigguy]

Would LOVE one on Drumbo

[@Emlizardo]

And all Drumbo fans should have his album "O Solo Drumbo," which is just solo drums, laying it all out for us to hear

[@bltnradio2271]

Damn good job!

[@kelechi_77]

The greatest drummer of the 1970s

[@cjherbert]

Lovely stuff although only a part of the story. Very few drummers truly "get" Jaki - I've heard endless KZbin recreations of his playing. Whilst many absorb the patterns there is also the "dose" as Michael Karoil coined it: each hit is weighted with a precise touch which most people miss. You can hear this in Mother Sky - to the untrained ear it sounds like a linear beat, rigidly held, which is something in itself, but the snare hits rise and fall like a giant sine wave. There's also the drum tuning and adaptation which was a lifetime's work - in the end, he favoured rope tensioning (he also removed the acorn from the end of his drumsticks and ditched hi-hats "a Charleston machine"). Additionally, recording quirks such as swinging mics over the kit in real-time were sometimes used which is part of why his take on, say, Vitamin C sounds so unique.

[@babyfactory587]

Dude sick

[@nuckm]

After reading both CAN and Jaki Liebezeit biographies, I came out not 100% convinced that the "you must play monotonous" dude happened during CAN as we all believe. I think it actually might have happened shortly before CAN because at that time Jaki was playing free jazz where all sense of rhythm had been dissolved, and when he showed up to the audition Irmin expressed concern about this, to which Jaki explicitly replied "oh no, my days playing free jazz are over!"

[@nathanowens3]

Great video and great playing my man! I really enjoy your content. How about one on the playing and style of Peter Criss? Very underrated player and student of Gene Krupa. He is the reason I started playing drums !

[@bobsbigboy_]

i would say the song Spray also has very abstract drumming

[@mraaronhd]

He was the original human drum machine. I wish you would have included Future Days in this because his groove for it was great.

[@dankaliksztein4693]

Awesome vid! You should do some argentinean drummers as well like Pomo Lorenzo, Oscar Moro or Charly Alberti, all very good and highly underrated

[@paulbogan3400]

Charly's my favorite of the three, but TBH I wouldn't sleep on the other two either.

[@dankaliksztein4693]

@@paulbogan3400 Fair enough! There's a reason why he's oftentimes compared to Stewart Copeland

[@billdavies3459]

Did Jaki use a double bass drum pedal?? I didn't think he did... Great Video! Absolutely Love CAN! This was great!

[@ben-c5t]

after mid 90ies he even did not use a pedal bass-drum anymore, but liked to play the turkish davul.

Hey buddy, where ya from? I need a drummer!!!! I play too, so I can appreciate what you're doing, you're very talented..... I'm in NY rn but Im willing to re-locate.......I write, sing, and play guitar. And I think we like all the same music

[@JudiceAdems]

Maybe do one of these for John Marshall from Soft Machine. The song Peff has a pretty crazy beat to break down.
