A Drum Solo | Greyson Nekrutman Live At Drum Center Of Portsmouth

[@Jimbo386000]

I can't believe this guy's this good at jazz and also in a metal band, it's not fair.

[@adamhagerman5612]

I'd like to say, the camera work and audio on this video are top notch! FANTASTIC job capturing Greyson at your store!

[@drumcenternh]

Thanks so much Adam, it means a lot!

[@jamesdennett196]

Well said, Adam.

[@danielsfarina]

It's simply GORGEOUS

This kid always impresses me it's nice to know the future of drumming is being fulfilled by talented guys like the this. God bless

Those 20 minutes went by in the blink of an eye to me. Beautiful, I was mesmerized. It could have gone on and for hours and I would still be ever the more pleased to listen to it...! Thank you for this, Greyson and DCP :")

[@CharlesTPrimm]

Greyson's awesome, and world-class production by y'all.

[@andresmarin5328]

He´s so goddam goooooood!!! OK, he must be working 16 hours a day, but it´s not just that... he´s so tasteful, so musical, so complete. he can play a metal band and a big band like the best you can name....

[@dansepultura]

Welcome to Sepultura!!🇧🇷

[@craigjohnchronicles2504]

Double sticks in each hand. I was doing that back in 1986 - I'm sure someone was doing it long before myself. ...what's old is new again. Love what you can do with 4 sticks and two hands. LOL Greyson is so damn fun to watch, especially when he forgets the audience, and he just gets in the zone. The kid can shred... HUGE Thanks for sharing with those of who can't make these clinics...

[@dilankarun9172]

Double sticks was used even before 86' by Steve Gadd on a Simon & Garfunkle track in the 70's . I think he did a Mozambique with it.

[@craigjohnchronicles2504]

Tonight Grayson has a clinic in Ottawa, Ontario at Dave’s Drum Shop, which I will be going to. Looks like these people were treated to some killer drumming by this young man. Nice footage, DCP!

[@drumcenternh]

Awesome, have fun! He is a MONSTER player.

[@ReverendSoupbone]

This guy is just flat out amazing!! He’ll go down as one of the best for sure! I’m not a drummer and I can’t stop watching his videos. Just incredible!! 🥁🥁🥁🥁

[@bishopoftroy]

I hope this will be a regular thing on this channel. We really need more quality drumming and it`s platforms like this that can make it happen. Thanks DCP !

[@gianni_schicchi]

He’s having a conversation with the drums. Introducing elements one at a time and showing them he can work each element individually to its fullest potential. Then he methodically combines all the elements into a journey through different schools of technique as an ensemble. All the while, having perfect technique. It’s like writing an epic poem in perfect penmanship.

[@hippydippy]

More like an Argument! Didn't hear one groove with any feeling. All flash & technique. After a minute or two it get's really old. Boring.

[@bubinga3106]

Man Greyson could get into one hell of a slap fight! In all seriousness, he’s great and inspirational to young and old alike! Great playing and passion!

[@telsonalves8060]

I'm 14 minutes into this solo, and I think it's fair to say I've not seen anything like this. I'm 62 years old. This young man is amazing and has true talent. Good for him for working his ass off to reach this level of skill. THANKS DC of P for sponsoring this video. Absolutely amazing. Cheers!

[@mikekelly9851]

He's throwing in some Buddy Rich licks & a little Louie Bellson double stick licks.

[@FinnGamble]

A 20-minute solo that varies and evolves throughout. How he manages to keep the audience interested for so long is a small wonder in itself.

[@venzlaysa]

Now that's a "true" drum solo 😍🔥☝️💪🤙🫶

I was thinking Tommy Aldridge. But then again I haven't seen Bonham do that with the hands.

[@AvStevieStevenJamesDrums]

Wow to be young again with all that endurance

[@loucontino4804]

I was so looking forward to Greyson playing in Brand Xa few years back, but John passed away before they really got started. I like Greyson alot, his left hand index & middle finger alternations in the left hand are magnificent. He's a fine technician on the drums. That said, I don't hear alot of melodic playing in this solo. He's got plenty of technique so I remain hopeful he will grow musically & not just as a drumming phenom.

[@davidkoblentz]

as a non drummer this is so damn cool... the creativity with the technical aspect is fantastic

[@telsonalves8060]

Greyson é um gigante !!!!!

[@ronjon5386]

Buddy Rich would be proud. I would love to see him add some more cymbal work into his solos. Maybe a butterfly or two. Either way he’s a great talent

[@phillamoore157]

This was recorded especially well. I see the mic's listed (thank you for that), can you tell us the interface used? I see what looks like an Apollo twin, but it must be more than that, given the number of mic's. That kit sounds astonishingly good.

[@tinterlande]

Thank you Phil! The UA Apollo was just used for his playback when he was playing to tracks. The audio was recorded straight off the Presonus Studiolive 32ac I use for all of the DCP videos!

[@phillamoore157]

@@tinterlandeHa! You’re kidding me! I have that exact board (but I’m using the full Audix mic set). Well, damn….I’ve got no excuses now. You dialed those in incredibly well. I’ve got a big order I’m getting ready to put in with you guys very soon, on a custom kit I’m having built by a company in your neck of the woods, but I may have to splurge on a set of those Earthworks, even if it’s just those overheads. I’m sure that room you guys have helps, as well. You always do a great job of getting a killing (and very natural) drum sound. You’ll have to remember those settings (hopefully, you saved that mix)…these sound especially good. Thanks again, brother. That was surprisingly encouraging news.
