[@klegdixal3529]

thanks for reminding me about the awesomeness of the film scoring project. you may want to watch Cretaceous Chasm while remembering that King Kong footage was not edited and music was scored to the image.

[@shabado0]

As you are probably aware thanks to users like Lungfull Drummer, this track by Blotted Science was created to score an unedited scene from a horror movie. Here is where the sync up still exists for this track: www.dailymotion.com/video/x2ckphi Suffice it to say that Ron Jarzombek is a genius and the ability to create a composition that flows this well while studying camera cuts and panning and imagery... it’s like the old soundtracks to cartoons in the 50s but twisted and demented.

HANNES GROSSMANN - ALTER MAGNITUDE - ALKALOID

[@fuzzydunlop0507]

Have heard of Drum Corp International/DCI? I would love seeing a drum teacher react to top notch drumline videos as well.

[@cocky_potato]

Hannes is an icon of modern metal drumming. He's the "new" Gene Hoglan in the sense that he plays with so many different bands and projects and he still finds time to do his solo stuff. He's a composer, he plays other instruments and he is an accomplished producer as well. And the dude's not even 40 yet!! Must be the famous German efficency at work. While he is not my all time favourite skinsman, he's an endless source of inspiration...!!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Well said Vivaldo!

[@icipher6730]

Hannes is not the finest example of German engineering. He is German engineering.

[@TheWolvesCurse]

we germans aren't that efficient actually xD he's just extraordinary, dedicated and passionate.

[@Lokrion]

Blotted Science, A++ material

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yup!

[@groundedgameplayx]

@@AndrewRooneyDrums this drummer also has an incredible portfolio, recorded necrophagist's Magnum opus album "epitaph", arguably one of the most acclaimed and influential technical death metal records ever, along with other crazy progressive/jazz fusion stuff, has really versatile chops

[@cliffmcnamara6266]

Epitaph is one of my favorite albums. Check out how Ron composes this kind of music m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/imKblmRmr9d8p7s

[@jaygage1555]

Hannes is a badass he comes up with some of weirdest time signatures its heavy asf its complex and its CLEAR the guy is a beast

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

100% agree Jay!

[@Andyw1228]

Wow, wow, wow, that is like musical magic! Ron Jarzombek is a guitar mastermind of theory, accuracy and weird rhythms. When he plays with Hannes or his brother it’s magic. Like in the sense that people around get fooled and think it has to be an illusion- but it’s not. It’s real, people can be as talented as this.

[@scottdunn2178]

Ron Jarzombek is the Leonardo Davinci/Nicola Tesla/Albert Einstein of music composition and theory. The guy needs to be committed 🤪🎸

[@rishimehra5231]

This dudes dynamism, speed, groove, style, skill, everything about this guy... Is just too good, He was way ahead of his time, when he wrote for necrophagist.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thanks for watching Rishi!

[@Angelstealth]

Hannes is a beast on technique and speed, but above all constructing amazing jams. Anyone with is selected by Ron Jarzombek to play with, is just one of the biggest beast in the world 😂😂

[@cynaptyc]

I just said something about Ron too! He's a demanding perfectionist and yup if he chose you there's a good reason! 👍

[@gerdokurt]

Good reaction! I like how he guides us with the "reduced" (relatively spoken in extreme metal) usage of the snare and bass drum. It feels replacive what drummers in the extended genre do, like you could play it to another track without rewriting it. I have a lot more joy when the drums support or even form the music! I also think there is something like...lets say "the magic of the pause". A not-played note can be as effectiv as a played one.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Cool, thanks!

[@aidzdrums]

Suggestion: Bobby Jarzombek, Peppered Cancer

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

On the way :)

[@MarioKL]

Already done.

[@Ugrasrava]

Hannes Grossmann is one my largest inspirations, his hand technique especially. He was the drummer who opened my eyes to the benefits of using wrists and fingers simultaneously when blasting, specifically the amount of power you can generate without excessive effort. He calls it "Hybrid Technique." He was also the drummer who played the very first blast beat I ever heard, which got me into playing extreme metal in the first place. The only other drummer who made that large an impact on my playing was Alex Rudinger, who was my introduction to open handed playing in extreme music.

[@jenkenstein3D]

Blotted science is amazing. Nice reaction buddy. Checkout Spastic Ink as well!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thanks for the tip!

[@extaxt9847]

Andrew, I managed the Hollywood Guitar Center back in 03 and 04 and Bobby used to come into the drum shop all the time and hang out. He's a super cool guy and a monster drummer! Check out his band, Spastic Ink!

[@num8ers]

You probably know this but this band (Blotted Science) is Ron Jarzombek's (Bobby's brother) project with Hannes on drums and Alex Webster from Cannibal Corpse on bass. So wild!

[@XenoTravis]

I have shown this hannes video to many friends and people online and they always seem to do the same thing I do. They just kinda sit there like "this is nuts but so perfect." like eating the best tasting and also feeling ice cream haha.

[@tweevers2]

"accurancy,orchestration,and musicality...important...its what its all about".....I would counter your quote with mine by adding some more goodies to the list " Its all about fun,passion,tonal expression,fun,emotions/feeling,atmosphere setting,fun,and not taking things serious,play in the moment and whatever happens happens,dont think feel the music overtake you and play itself through you".

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I agree with you too!

[@stonedassassin4229]

Oh shit I didn't realize you made a video about Hannes Grossman

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yup just use that search bar. All kinds of goodies :)

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I just read in the description of the original vid that this was recorded on 3 mics... WTH!? Wish I knew that when doing the reaction...

[@TupDigital]

That is a trip...although he is def triggering his bass drums and possibly snare so thats a big help...but this still sounds stellar for 3mics!

[@liliIiliIilil]

@@TupDigital I agree that his kicks are triggered but I'm not positive that his snare is. Do you have more info on that?

[@TupDigital]

@@liliIiliIilil upon closer consideration i dont think his snare is triggered either. Usually its just a matter of seeing a trig attached but unless its hidden behind his hi hat he doesn't have one on. Sound-wise I get the feeling that we're hearing acoustic snare sound here too. It was half assumption on my part, as im sure we both well know how common triggered snares are with tech death bands etc....there is indeed no info beyond "recorded w 3 mics" on the original vid description.

[@DoggoWillink]

@@TupDigital In either case he plays with a lot of power. He actually has videos on it on KZbin. He’s not the kind of guy who needs triggers (if any really do at this level).

[@TupDigital]

@@DoggoWillink Grossman is indeed one of the greats. I feel "needs" is a relative word...above 200bpm there's almost no way to comprehend and hear footwork without trigs ya know? From both behind the kit as well as audience. Generally speaking tho how I think you meant, I agree this cat doesn't "need" anything. The drums need _him_ to bring their lives meaning. 😄Btw your name is a humorous reference. I've watched my share of Jocko pods

It should be noted that these drums and this song were written by Ron Jarzombek. Of course, it takes an unbelievable player to play this, but I feel that it should be noted. Also, the music on this album is meant to be a soundtrack to specific scenes in movies.

[@ms.diealot4202]

Without the lead guitar parts playing, it's hard to tell exactly what Hannes is playing along with. I'd suggest listening to the studio version of the song to get a better listen.

[@Megawatt]

Totally, it sounds way better with the lead tracks.

[@lungfulldrummer8921]

Blotted science are an interesting project. Have had a few different players involved. And have tracks that sync up to scenes from movies such as bambi. There's a classic crazy play though by Bobby jarzombec [probably misspelled lol] where he has cymbals set up behind his shoulders. Have a look. Even if you don't react to it hehe.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

WOW! Sounds awesome. Bobby reaction on the way too!!

[@PaulSteere]

The Bambi one was Spastic Ink (‘A Wild Hare’) which is the original band Ron who is the brains + guitars behind Blotted Science and his brother Bobby were in. Blotted, a bit of a supergroup, did a full length album then the follow-up EP this song is taken from is where the 4 songs were written to sync up to a corresponding movie scenes featuring bugs/alien bugs doing horrible things to humans. Some of them got taken down because of copyright I think but this one was from the movie Creepshow (1982), the others were King Kong (2005), Slither (2006) and Swarmed (2005). Ron also has some videos breaking down some of the music theory from them but it’s way over my head!
