Giant Steps Drum Cover

[@ElBoyoElectronico]

Wow, so clean and dynamic. I love up tempo jazz, but I often feel like my brain can't process the patterns fast enough for me to understand what is happening there. Great video!

[@haydenfloro5561]

Thank you so much!!

[@audieconrad8995]

Never mind the brain...it's all in the ears!

[@teamyordle23]

very impressive. Love your ride sound.

I’ve never been a good jazz drummer, I’m more of a rock/punk drummer, but this is amazing and I respect the hell out of jazz musicians and love listening to it. Much love ❤

[@haydenfloro5561]

Thank you so much for the kind words and support!!

[@HaloAdmiral]

Check out Topper Headon of The Clash if you want a good example of a punk drummer who has roots in jazz

[@audieconrad8995]

Ohhhh...such a groove. Bless you! And btw...Vic Firth drum sticks - the pride of Newport, Maine!

Thank you so much! I love me some Vic Firth!!

Art Taylor, was the original drummer. I bought this album ( Giant Steps ) From Hime and Addison ( Record shop) in Braznone Street, Manchester, England, U.K. in 1960. I believe I had the only copy in Manchester, at that time. ( I was 20 years of age ) Sorry for being boringly nostalgic. Anyway, Peace to all.

[@haydenfloro5561]

Not boring at all! I love hearing about the history! Thanks for checking out my video!

[@Muggashyte]

Any questions about the difficulty of playing this piece, can be answered by listening to the piano struggle, mightily, during the solo, only to have Coltrane take off at light speed again.

[@haydenfloro5561]

Exactly!

[@someonesomeone7423]

I can tell by that look on your face how difficult is must be to keep up that swing. Kudos to you.

Your face during 1:00 was probably Flanagan while he attempted soloing lol. Nice cover, sounds quite faithful to the original. Not sure why people joke "the drummer has it easy" on Giant Steps, given how difficult that seems to be...

Hi Hayden, this is amazingly done ! Wishing you health and happiness from my side. Greetings from India! It's a big request from my side to you , would love to see you play "sound of muzak" by PORCUPINE TREE. I know it's totally a different zone from the style of music you're playing here but go for it if you feel like ! I had always wanted to see drummers from a particular style play something from a completely different style and see if they could execute it just like that. ❤🙂🥁🎉🥳

[@haydenfloro5561]

You got it! I’ll give it my best try!

Tim Metz thank so much! This means the world coming from you man!

[@CaliforniaBushman]

I cant keep up with this. Is that Moeller ride? Three notes with one stroke? Or is it more eighth notes from the shoulder with the the note in between? Or both? Or is it a rebound moeller type stroke for you at that tempo? Or a moeller stroke throwing down on 1&2&3&4&? And squeezing that 3red note in between?

[@haydenfloro5561]

I think of it as 1 motion 3 sounds. So, sorta a Moeller technique! I hope this helps! I’d be happy to make a quick video for you to see!

beautiful stick definition! what microphone do you use to get it that crisp?

A lot of it is definitely my novice recording skills haha. It’s a Scarlett microphone that comes with the Scarlett interface. But it’s rather low to the drums/cymbals. Thanks for listening!!

Brother, how do you keep the Speed in your hand? I am sure there may be a video or specific technique you followed to keep that swing pattern. Can you share?
