Pretty sure his house is my old community college.

[@purnellknight5368]

finally some one talking about this mans house :)

[@RadioActiveBreakfast]

Yes I bought the college real quick just for this shoot... Haven't been back since hahahaha!

[@makinde6865]

U were for sure working the hell out of the hi-hat

[@makinde6865]

Why only 2 toms?

[@RadioActiveBreakfast]

@@makinde6865 Thats jazz man!!! haha imagine me flailing some jazz hands as i said it :p

[@Aquiles4203]

@@RadioActiveBreakfast Amazing!Great Work!! Brother you have your track playing separately (drum only), can you send it to me? (I need to study, without the bass line), my email [e-mail]

[@travisjohnson5106]

Great! I am a rock drummer but want to play like that.

[@RadioActiveBreakfast]

Ya man! I won't say im much of a jazz drummer at all, but the key to versatility for me is just listening to a bunch of the music and immersing yourself in the genre and get the 'language' in you so when you play jazz and make your musical decision it comes from the same feeling you felt when hearing the greats do it on the records you heard!

[@nakagawakoji3614]

I wish I could play the tune as you do.

[@RadioActiveBreakfast]

Nah brotha! You got it in you! Just get your ear used to the style and play what you feel! Take ideas from what they do and then put your spice on top

[@DevotionToChaos]

what an energetic reply! love it

[@TheJonaii]

2:11 is that your Mom?

[@lucieshewdoelare3995]

Amazing cover! It's definitely a goal to achieve as a drummer.

[@Doubletree77]

Bas excellent !!!! I like it!!!!

[@RadioActiveBreakfast]

Thanks so much!

[@mixedlove1234]

I've never listened to two things at the same time and equally appreciated both💜🥰

[@Sweeneytv]

Yeah. I'm gonna go ahead and like this JUST FOR Attempting this song. Also well done. You did good.

[@Brockenkloppen]

Dude keep on jazzing . Sounds awesome and dynamic!

[@mvembathegriot]

3:00 Nice rim cue a la Art Taylor!!

[@gabrielhuff6969]

oh hey! The Daru Jones kit!! I have the same one, love it!

[@RadioActiveBreakfast]

Nah actually Daru designed his kit off of mine... Haha jk but this is just a pdp x7 i got years before he did that club kit. just happens to be the same wrap. You can see me using more of the toms for the set in my more recent videos

[@BrianRussick]

beautiful house

[@RadioActiveBreakfast]

The credit i can take for it is............ 0 :p

[@Daywalkr]

Do you live in the house from Parasite? Sick cover

[@RadioActiveBreakfast]

Haha thanks man. Now you're making me wanna go watch that (I know I'm pretty late haha)

[@Knowrud]

It's a tough tune. You transcribe any of it? I'd be interested in seeing what you got. I'm about to transcribe this tune myself.

[@RadioActiveBreakfast]

No I didn't transcribe it... I was just jamming over the top. I copied the one quite prominent fill with the rim clicks going into the piano solo cuz I thought it'd be too obvious that it wasn't me... :p But my TesseracT cover I did mostly transcribe apart from the fills if you're into that kind of music. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJC0k4mLnLqdi6c

brooo u are so talented you timing is insane, you would be so much fun to jan with brotha. keep playing broo!

[@RadioActiveBreakfast]

Come to LA!

[@anahoy3565]

Woooow great job!!!!!👌

[@duthegee]

I don't know how you keep up with beats this fast!

[@RadioActiveBreakfast]

A lot of practice :p but no... a lot of practice with like the push pull to get the 'skip' part of the jazz pattern down to throw that in wherever in your phrasing and also to basically think and feel it all in half time so you feel like youre floating a lil more than basically micromanaging your own playing beat by beat

[@glassarthouse]

so this guy just comes out of the woods to play giant steps. where is this, massachusetts!?!?

[@RadioActiveBreakfast]

Hahaha well Massachusetts is the location that gave me the peer pressure of loving this song hahaha Berklee to be more specific! But this video was recorded in Belgium

[@glassarthouse]

@@RadioActiveBreakfast entertaining and enjoyable. continue.

[@jiyujizai]

上手いぞ。良いね。😃🎵サンキュー

[@RudimentosyEjercicios]

Excelent!!! I really like it!!! ..... just one question: It´s a play along? or are you playing on the originalk song?

[@RadioActiveBreakfast]

I am playing along the original... I just tried to EQ out the drums a little bit... Mostly their ride cymbal

[@gustavoestevam5263]

Thumbs up!

[@jacobcasler8684]

Imagine a small dog trying to run across slick linoleum to this song

[@RadioActiveBreakfast]

I dont know what to make of this! :p

[@frankray2261]

Maaaaaaaaaaaaannnn !!!!!!!!!!! whew !!!!!! that's what's up !!!!

[@JakeMcBain]

Nice one man

[@bobbuilder7611]

why do you keep switching from traditional to match grip?

[@mojojoji5493]

Bob Builder for the lady’s

[@RadioActiveBreakfast]

Where Mojo Joji is 99% correct... It's cuz I kept convincing myself like oh youre a cool jazz cat, hit em with that trad... so jazzy. Then I cant play any notes right so I quickly switch to match to be able to actually sound good :p

[@midnightbarbeque]

Great stuff... thanks for sharing .. one of my fav jams..... do you mind sending just drums, no music so I can jam to it on bass or guitar? ......mp3 to me? Ive been looking this tune for just a drum track that not boring to play with.... thanks....

[@RadioActiveBreakfast]

eli donato Yes, i'd love to! I just don't know how to get it to you :P don't know how to message you privately on youtube anymore :S

[@cloud-w2v]

Never really got how jazz rhythms work. I cannot pinpoint the rhythm exactly while for stuff like metal and rock I know exactly what they're doing even though I don't play the drums.

[@RadioActiveBreakfast]

I get what you mean. I feel like jazz starts from a more 'undiscovered' territory, being swung 8th notes etc and then also often branches more using more polyrhythms that metal and rock stuff. Typically for metal and rock, it is more tasteful to stick to just 16ths and 32nd notes really and go to very obvious triplets when it gets pretty big. Jazz is more woven in and out combining different rhythmic subdivisions and there's more going on. This all generally happens while the ride tries to keep where it is, making the polyrhythm more prevalent and more confusing! But yeah, I'm sure it mostly comes down to you not being familiar or comfortable with it as much as you probably are metal or rock. Thanks for watching though!

[@manny_1056]

It’s jazz. Jazz is scary.

[@OurEyesAreYetToOpen]

This is also a very fast song which doesn't help.

[@82jummper]

Brooooooooo NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE that triplet is sweet. do you have this track minus drums and if so i can buy it from you....

[@HoneyBadger201]

he's a g on the snare i must say.

[@RadioActiveBreakfast]

Ain't nothing but a G thing... hahaha

great!

good job man!!

[@hungrydrummerjoey3440]

AMAZING groove man!!!

[@brodykutch1193]

That is a BEAUTIFUL sounding ride what is it?

[@RadioActiveBreakfast]

The one on the ride is a 20' Armand Ride I believe

[@tonyfreejazz20]

Nice :-)

[@skullhair]

Sheesh

[@RadioActiveBreakfast]

Thanks guys!

[@tjblackmore7863]

Great cover bro! Definitely not an easy song to play. How old are you?

[@domeskeetz]

lol nice house must be nice to be rich

[@raulosuna8174]

I was thinking the same lol

[@domeskeetz]

He did a great job tho, I guess that's what happens when all you have to worry about is playing great, and not bills, money etc. lol

[@domeskeetz]

and excuse my redundant usage of nice and great, I'm stoned as fuck and my grammar blows

[@RadioActiveBreakfast]

All I can say is I have been very fortunate to be born into a hard working, supporting family and I make sure I work every day to make them proud and give everything back that they gave to me.

[@gaplodocus8176]

Bas Janssen also forgot to add that your drumming is badass keep it up.

[@aidansanchez3095]

I have 1 question.... *ahem*... HOW?

[@Kdrummer95]

You're not feeling the song just went full crazy

[@HarryTheInsane]

+Cristiano S There's a difference between playing in front of people and playing in front of cameras.

[@imalitdrummerlovesvideogames]

Negative true

[@jimmykuf]

you need to feel the song, leave som spaces, the Music is in the Hiatus

[@Nyew18]

looks like someone pissed him off because they told him that he's poor and can't play jazz HAHAHAHA

[@RadioActiveBreakfast]

Reality is often unsettling to be faced with haha

[@mingus9840]

Am I the only one who is now quite impressed? I mean the technique is great but it's not rock solid rhythm-wise. He skips the swing rhythm and instead plays straight quarter notes, but he then tries to throw some swing in there and in my opinion, it doesn't keep up with the tempo. This is understandable since Giant Steps is almost 300 BPM and I make the same mistake. Although the fills are great.

[@RadioActiveBreakfast]

This video was from 2014, i was a wee little kipper compared to now. I think its awful too haha Im playing with like 2B sticks or something... if that doesnt scream jazz i dunno what does ;) Im surprised this of all my videos has the most views. Im not a jazz drummer by any means... but views are views hahaha

[@jojoremeny]

Not subtle at all ,you are too heavy handed .Also you are not playing with consistent time on the ride cymbal but keep breaking up into 1/4 notes which the original does not do. .. I play this song with brushes around 3 20 BPM .. with 4 chorus solos . I must admit it's pretty difficult to keep time at that speed and for soloing ,you have to keep singing the melody in your head otherwise you will lose form. .. So respect to you for just keeping up with original

[@yazzer4963]

it's style preferences. Some people do that. also, no need to flex.

[@thomaskubin7578]

Great !!!
