Metric Modulation is an illusion where it sounds like you've sped up or slowed down, when really you're just playing a different note rate. In this song, Gergo Borlai plays multiple different note rates to trick the listener into thinking he went out of 4/4 time - when really he's not going anywhere!

[@Varky93]

Metric modulations are my entire bag but I had already shat my pants with that bass foot at 0:10

[@NVRMR08]

When it began i was kinda sceptical but was blown away in the end! Kudos sir

[@mehmetmutlu8002]

Gergo is a great drummer/composer but people really do not know about him , he's underrated

[@AaronLevyDrums]

Love this stuff! Great playing.

[@LouietheXIII]

That was extremely unique. His sense of time and pacing is top notch.

[@montreauxs]

Garstka though.

[@HaxorSerialKiller]

Usually I see these videos and admire the skill of the drummer, but this... My brain doesn't even begin to understand how the fuck someone could possibly play this stuff, let alone compose. What the fuck

[@aspatman]

Just destroying! The solo itself has given me a million ideas! Thank you

[@0xAndy]

My favorite drumming involves the drummer escaping out of a brutal/busy sort of jam. Huge jams; deft escapes. Gergo is Houdini.

[@deepkushagra]

now a tutorial on this is what I'm waiting for

[@vinigretzky97]

+kushagra Switch between ternary and binary (plus one combination of the two) and add a few offbeats here and there to make it sound more complex than it is.

[@wintermute9000]

Get Gavin Harrisons books on rhe subject. They're amazing.

[@icedlilbarry]

First heard of Gergo through a Bass teacher at my uni Yolanda Charles showed us a load of videos of her jamming with him. No idea why he isn't more known than he is!

[@GGDrummer]

Very Good Mr. Gergo!!

[@uzielmerino2701]

Ssick insane genius, master. I love metric modulation (Y)

[@aztharos5071]

[@JulianFernandez]

Gergo for the WIN! :D

[@thebeatfreakz4278]

Awsome Maddess!!

[@TheSentinel909]

The most frequent comment at any Borlai video: DATT SNARE!

[@joshraleigh6885]

Yeah. It's great

[@tdrum21]

2:35 when he slams out of that

[@Krueger041294]

[@Amundstvoll]

+Petar Pavasović my exact thought was: de-u-uh uhm ... also, that was amazing, in the actual meaning of I was amazed

[@krfrench55]

All I have to say is, wow! That is insane

[@xlarge7370]

Love you Hun

[@maddropproductions4967]

insaneeeee

[@GusOnDrums]

What kit is he using and what sizes are his splash cymbals? Nice groove tho.

[@nico7heavymetal]

holy fucking shit, INCREDIBLE!

[@robertstrobel7237]

Super.

[@richardaaron4454]

Were those super tiny splashes or bells? Sounded like bells but they look kind of like upside down tiny splashes.

[@mehdibouklihacene824]

where can i find the drumless track please ? need to practice on it :p

[@NorskGamer1]

Nice druming

[@andreasbreitwieser1449]

what is that neat cymbal holder to adjust the splash cymbal to the tom-tom rim..... probably Gibraltar ...??!

[@saraluna3010]

sick

[@ebeparco9268]

Gergo do this metric modulation course?

[@williamkjwilliamkj1815]

That’s fucking nuts. Wow.

[@FirManSyah_Art]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Daniel-ty9ei]

Strange but awesome

[@heliott25]

Any PDF ?

[@locoflaw]

wow wow!!!!!

[@jonathanlatson3438]

[@patrefkorwa9371]

Barber: can i help u sir? Me: can you modulate my hair?

[@jamestorres9012]

What song is that?

[@adamalexanderray]

Great, now I have a headache.

[@lastditch727]

Lolwut, whos this guy? Mighty impressive

[@patrefkorwa9371]

[@joshjamesuk]

Let's get JP Bouvet on Drumeo, he is a killer drummer, awesome guy and incredible teacher!

[@simongoddeti6396]

[@DrumeoOfficial]

+Simon Goddeti I believe that's a 24" Paiste Formula 602 Classic Sounds Medium Ride.

[@joshraleigh6885]

+Drumeo sweet ride

[@aether3569]

Another good song with metric modulation is macchina by sungazer

[@markyanish1188]

Damn

[@InYourDreams-Andia]

Red Hot! Polies everywhere. Gdam. 🤘

[@aidanrenyer9450]

This hurt my brain

[@charliemiller9841]

should get Gavin Harrison to do a lesson

[@BlastBe4st]

great drummer.. looks hard to play.. but in my ears it sounds weird :/

[@awangendahl]

damn

[@alec-s]

What has happened?

[@getlikeus1247]

Skills are sick! Aux snare sounds better than that trash can he plays on as his main.

[@DDrums-Uroki-Po-Skype]

Сool, and now a bit slower

[@TheDp1965]

Huh? not so much.

[@ninzopablo1195]

waw

[@crimsun7186]

Alright. Rehashing too much material from old lessons is getting old(no pun intended). When we'll see new videos?

[@seemsfamiliar]

Killer drummer.... but his snare and cymbals are so bright, its ridiculous.

[@emiliomaggiore2567]

minchia...

[@EvoSvex]

Such confusing beat, why even bother using ? I mean its cool and all, but all he does is just shows tehnique imo.

[@H0022]

That's the whole point though, It's a showcase. If you learn it then you can use it musically when it matters.

[@hugoloya1941]

Unofficially it's a bunch of beats known as playing dirty. It adds a drummers touch to a song that might sound boring...I like it cause it throws people off beat and you see them struggle to nod their head then disagree with it and then you get back in sync with 4/4. It's fun and interesting to practice.

[@EvoSvex]

+Hugo Loya Yeah i agree on that its fun when people mess up "headbang" and getting confused, but if the whole song is like that then people who listents to the song wouldnt enjoy it

[@RealJohi]

+EvoSvex lol just look at bands like Dillinger escape plan and animals as leaders a lot of people like them lol not as much as more straight forward music but hey the interest is there

[@richardsiima3004]

JESUS CHRIST Loves y'all

[@IgorMeshcheriakov]

not tasty at all

[@mr.wigster8326]

That sounded awful...

[@Matt-os4xm]

sick
