Drummer reacts to Greyson Nekrutman - Caravan DRUMEO Performance

[@istvanbalogh8254]

This young man is probably the greatest drummer I’ve ever witnessed in my life . I’ve been playing drums for 60 years now. I’ve lived drums my entire lifetime, asides from my career in law enforcement for 28 years which was very good to me with a great pension, but making a living playing Jazz drums was an impossibility unless you lived in Europe! But again, watching this young man truly inspired me at 72 years of age to realize how much I still have to practice to be 10% of what this Beethoven of drums is today! Gods blessings to him and thank God he gave this young man this abilities to be the greatest drummer ever in our lifetime!!

I agree mate. I saw Buddy twice, and my dad is a Rich fanatic - how many times have I heard "there will never be another Buddy Rich" But then I saw a video of Greyson... I saw that left hand, I saw the precisiin of execution, I saw the power, the technique. Then I heard him speak. That was when I thought... aha! This... this is the new greatest. Greyson thinks there is no such thing as a 'greatest' only a best of a particular time. I say Greyson is going to be the greatest drummer this planet has ever seen. He's got it all.

[@chrisevans4006]

Greyson is a phenomenon. He needs to insure those hands for a million. Actually, the left for a billion.

[@whobludaphot]

You said exactly what i said to my drummer friends... This kid is Buddy Rich reincarnated... absolutely mind blowing control and smoothness. As a drummer of 40 years, my mind was blown when i was shown this. Talk about a God given talent. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

He's not a reincarnation, he's him. Yeah he does a lot of things from Buddy's book but he honors his inspirations and brings his own flavor and feel into it. He's incredible!

[@mariomarioco9582]

Reincarnation really means that you got some parts of talents and thoughts that came from another life, it's not about a single individual. This guy right here got some work behind (Hours ) for sure, but his roots got cyclic talent that the probability you or us got one of those,... its minimal.

[@machtnichtsseimann]

@@mariomarioco9582 - It's more about influence, observation, absorption of Jazz greats, hard work, and a gift from the Creator. Greyson hit the ground running with what the Master Artist gave him. Thank God.

[@chrisevans4006]

Watching this again, Jason, I agree with what you say about reincarnation. My dad was a Buddy Rich fanatic. I saw Buddy twice when I was younger. We always said there will never be another Buddy Rich. Then, one day, on Tik Tok this young Greyson fellow appears. I've been drumming nearly 40 years and I knew what I was seeing. The dynamisn, the power, the speed, the intensity, the control, the attack - but the 100% on-point stabs, crashes, the timing just blew me away and had me captivated and mesmerised. Just imagine what we'll be seeing and hearing when he's in his thirties!

[@longcastle4863]

Thanks for introducing me to this drummer.

[@randyporter3491]

I think those subtle, occasional stick on stick hits are 100% intentional. Incredible !

[@imrankjamil]

I'd like to believe it was a slight hiccup which he seamlessly incorporated into the solo.

[@ashley5130]

@@imrankjamil the first stick on stick was a hiccup and he added more stick on stick to make it blend into the solo that's being a master of your craft means take a mistake and make it sound like an original idea

[@davino108]

Is incredible prodigy.. his left hand is just as good as Buddy.. yeah maybe his left hand is Buddy.. it's like literally watching Buddy Rich Gene Krupa Louie belson and Steve Smith and Stewart Copeland all combined into one. Absolutely freaking amazing!!!

[@cmralph...]

The major difference is Krupa and Rich were both speed (meth) users which was common at the time and still is among some musicians, to the best of my knowledge, this kid is clean. I've watched his left-hand video 50 times - where he explains how he holds it - and I still can figure it out. There are a few podcasts where Greyson explains how he got this good and his practice work ethic.

[@grandprairiehsdrumline4730]

11:39 I still can’t get over this part. He’s literally not even human.

[@martinarscott3524]

totally!! absolutely mind boggling

[@williamchristian8705]

I often spoke with Buddy when I was a teen. His band played at Disneyland often in the Summer. I think he’d be overjoyed seeing him play. Imagine them getting together and playing. It would be glorious.

[@brently2009]

As a ex drummer Greyson has the best hands I have seen a long time, He is the drummer now!

[@strawlegalmanfiction5299]

Holy guacamole......the less I say, the more credibility I have....amazing young star.....speechless I am

[@paulhiggins2275]

My goodness... that's phenomenal!!!!

[@IanLeoMusic]

It’s people like him that make you want to give up the drums😂😂

[@Painking59]

Lol I quit every time I watch him 😂

[@xx_thelordandsaviour69_xx81]

nah he makes me wanna keep going

[@tcavalo]

Who thinks this guy is THE new standard? I do.

[@genez429]

"Who taught this guy?" That is like asking who taught birds to fly south for the winter. Its a gift from God. Johnny Carson said the same thing about Buddy Rich.

[@theflint7692]

this kid is something special

[@danalawrence4473]

His teacher for years was Justin Gallow.

[@arubamama123]

❤️

[@koalassuck6450]

He's unreal! Also from Long Island. so I love seeing fellow Islanders do well.

[@randyporter3491]

Un-Freakin-Believable ! Not so sure he's not cleaner than Buddy, but he's more fun to watch.

[@randyporter3491]

@Topjunkie Yep, your right.

[@evilervcowart6234]

Jiminy Cricket jumped on a cracker and sailed the Seven Seas...wow! I'm left particularly speechless, and my mind has been utterly bent. I, too, am wondering who this cat studied under. Mr. Nekrutman is, indeed, truly Spartacus.

[@ahcubac]

There's a video with him and Nick D'Virgilio talking and playing and he mentions a couple of drum teachers, but not by name.

[@rogerioserra9912]

Taquepariu! Que que foi isso, menino??? 😳😳😳

you looks so concern🙏🏻

Good....Lord...!

[@dennissullivan662]

Self taught by his own admission I believe but don’t quote me I’ve had some beers

[@bodegabonsai7069]

Let's see Yoyoka do that.

[@scenicacoustic953]

Greyson is a very rare talent. I actually think he is better than Buddy. Given his age as well. I think I will see if he will give me some lessons. I have only been playing 32 years but there is always room to learn more. Especially when it is that bloody good. Dont suppose you have his number do you? 🙂

[@davidfitcher2953]

Reincarnation of Buddy Rich

[@khd17]

I don't know if reincarnation is real but I do know one thing , that are, this young gentleman is so extremely talented but it all boils down to hard work and lots of practice. Where did.he study to play so well?

[@DefendUSA1776]

My apologies, I thought I sent you to Greyson last year. Drummer World needs to get off their ass and put Greyson in the top 500 before he makes them irrelevant.

[@csrboltfan2643]

Has he even reached puberty yet?

[@Mattaki1]

Jason, if you are going to comment, pause the vid!!!!

[@JasonSayersDrums]

I actually got a load of backlash from older videos due to pausing. so now comments are done during the video. It’s hard to find a format everyone likes. Thank you for commenting though.

[@bobothehobo420]

@@JasonSayersDrums you could add in some captions of your speech during the video as a happy medium.
