Thank you Austin! I'm truly honored! Keep your amazing work!

[@abbdrums]

Thanks Gergo! The honor is all mine :)

[@guadeschlogzeiger]

Gergo Borlai 🙏 I‘m a fan ... one of the view drummers on this planet with chops, groove and musicality 💥

[@homard62]

@@guadeschlogzeiger Hello Me Borlai, I recently discovered your playing and am a fan of your creative and unique voice on the kit. Specifically the use of non-traditional groupings for phrasing ideas. Really excellent. Do you teach? How might I get in contact with you regarding lessons. I am in San Francisco but have many friends in LA from my time at MI.

[@paulbentley2709]

@@abbdrums respect the Austin, excellent.

[@massimociancarelli2660]

A "study the greats" on Larnell Lewis would be great man, keep it up

[@offspring14071]

Austin, great drumming and I am still in love with the sound of your snare!! you should make a vid about how you tune and record that snare, it really sounds amazing!

[@PROTEUS_SEER-OF-EONS]

Austin, I can't thank you enough for these videos!

[@tomoscooper]

Great series man! Thanks a lot

[@timabarsukov1527]

Thank you for your work Austin! Awesome lessons!

[@DM-zo6dj]

Great lessons. These are sooo helpful.

[@nikolajbrask9011]

This is some of the best drummy stuff on KZbin! So good!

[@AlexWandless]

Excellent lesson and playing man! I love these study the greats!

[@gardenstate78]

Your videos are just slamming and really inspire me! Cheers man!

[@festilina]

Superb teacher and a great player in his own right

[@vvviiimmm]

Loved orhestration and incorporation parts, keep it up.

[@daniell4983]

Austin, you're great man. Keep killing it.

[@timmyd.7665]

Wow that's fantastic work breaking all that down like that

[@mattcurl5683]

this channel is awesome! thank you

[@FrancescoPinetti]

Simply amazing! Thank you :-)

[@fpawluszmtg]

It's crazy to me how little people are aware of Gergo, evidenced by how this is probably one of the craziest and greatest videos on this series, yet the of the ones with the least views. This video series is fantastic, and I've been going through every single one of them and enjoying them greatly. Your playing is amazing, and the way you break things down is masterful. Crossing my fingers that the series will make a comeback at some point!

[@mortenlc]

Great job Austin! you aswell Gergo ;-)

[@dabateria4793]

Hey Austin I love your videos ! Keep them coming ! :D

[@tamasg79]

Keep these good videos coming!

[@RazorDrummer]

Austin...I am convinced after watching a half dozen of your "Study the Greats" videos that you are just behind Mike Johnston (whom I think is the most important drum educator of our time) and in your own delivery, possibly even his equal. Totally appreciate your candor and methodology. I hope that this is what sustains you financially, because you are excellent. While I play professionally, I have not had a kit set up in my home in over 20 years and when I was sparked by a new project to start woodshedding again, I went first to Mike and then to you. So, thank you a ton for the inspiration and the education.

[@abbdrums]

+RazorDrummer Thank you so much man, I really appreciate that. I really look up to what Mike has done in the drum community so to be compared to him in any capacity is very encouraging and motivation for me to keep doing what I'm doing. Thank you for the kind words...

[@nikkoletas9471]

Fiiiiiire!!! Great work!!!!

[@giorgiosechi7116]

Magnifico lavoro Austin..

[@larrytate1657]

Great lesson Austin. This chop sounds great, especially with the lead kick into it. Gergo is a beast. You look like you sit fairly low on your throne. I've been struggling a bit with double kit so I decided to lower my throne a bit too and see how it goes. It actually feels better for my feet, just a lil more of a reach to get to my rack toms and crashes but I'm gonna try it out for a while.

[@eliquecaballero21]

you rock man!

[@jplindsay8322]

😮Sheeeeeeeee-it! A beast!! 👍

[@Wiebe80]

Amazing job! Thats really hard to play. Gergo is a monster indeed

[@TheSjj123]

wicked man

[@ARGBlackCloud]

Yep Gergo Borlai seams to have thought about cop combinations that other people have not , the guy is a monster . NIce Transcription . That's gonna take some time !

[@DonnyDrummer]

Very very very good👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@JulianFernandez]

Suggestion for the next vid: The already-legendary Neon Moonlight Vinnie lick... :)

[@Voganes]

Great job breaking it down Again! I'm just curious how old were when you started playing the drums?

[@meekoloco]

Good'n dude!

[@joshbernard8367]

ily austin xo

[@ultrastu]

Great lesson dude! I'm a bit worried that there is a mug of pee on your desk though.

[@abbdrums]

😨 fuck, you caught me

[@PerpetualTwilight88]

i saw that too! But then assumed it was tea or something....lmao. Great video tho! Exellent info

[@douchebagme]

BAD ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOOOO u gottta sub!!

[@user-uo2xo6iz8x]

How do you tune a snare drum? Could you show it

[@TheKillabutcha]

can you show what the sticking is at 1:55-2:10 of that video

[@davidcurtis4478]

Hey Austin, this one is great! Also don't you just love the groove ride :) what drums are you using? Are they remo ambassadors on all top heads? What about bottom heads? They sound great. Keep up the fantastic work! David Curtis Drumming

[@abbdrums]

Yea the Groove Ride is cool but I'm really wanting to get some darker, drier cymbals that are more fusion/jazz appropriate. Also, I have my full gear list on my website if you'd to see all the stuff I'm using in detail. Thanks

[@mike__durrett]

Dude! It'd be great if you broke down something by Matt Halpern! He's one of my favorites.

[@frankiehdrum1]

Great work man. this fill is not easy at all

[@ambroulard]

Hey, Austin---- please find a cool Trilok Gurtu lick and cover it!!!! ( check out Kathak- title track of album, there's a great fill in there----)

[@tdrum21]

Great licks here. Some similarities to the Jojo lick you did.

[@matthewbatki]

what kind of metronome do you use on your iphone? thanks your answer

[@mattiles5811]

Batki Matthew lol

[@matthewbatki]

Matt Iles what

[@tdrum21]

Which solo should we look up to find this one?

[@abbdrums]

I think it's called Groove Improvisations w/ Gergo Borlai

[@Eleutherarch]

+tdrum21 It's the first solo I ever watched of Gergo's. To this day, it is my favourite of his. So clean.

[@abbdrums]

Yea, it's incredible

[@Thomlistentoslayer]

guess you havent heard of Marco Minnemann?

[@abbdrums]

Marco's a beast... Every drummer knows who he is

[@acidreflux7449]

Nhhhhhhhh

[@agee23]

Wouldn't it be more efficient to do single flams at the end? lRlrl lRlrl? That's how I would play it but I'm also not Gergo Borlai lol. ALSO...Do a Matt Garstka lesson!

[@aaronrios6470]

Quick tip: Practice your upstrokes kids!
