You are a prime example of a persistent musician, doing what he loves, keeping with it, perfecting it, and going high and getting places. Keep up the awesome work!

I too play with both grips…Had good teachers…Studied lots of Billy Cobham…Many times I switch grips in the same songs…Many of the early rockers were Jazz & Big Band drummers, as they had no specific techniques to fit into a rock context…Ginger Baker, Mitch Mitchell, Ian Paice, Carl Palmer, & so on…Even Ringo had a swing sound to his playing…Charlie Watts had his own Big Band project & dropped some CDs…I know many Metal drummers who study Big Band…Virgil Donati uses a traditional grip, unlike his contemporaries…Greyson is very popular amongst Metal drummers…Aside from his drumming talent, he obviously had good upbringing…A gentleman…

[@bobbers1880]

My dad was the drummer for ,"The String Kings". This young man is teaching us things my father did when I was young! This young man can be included in the list of great drummers both past and present. Thank you for his videos. I look forward to seeing more!

[@suffixion_6286]

"I was young". This dude is 20! When I was 20, I felt accomplished when I skipped college classes 🥴. Definitely great things ahead for this man.

[@jamieseiple]

Greyson and Sweetwater swing!

[@CoolstixDave]

One of the most informative drum tutorials on the internet! Bravo!

[@hornet224]

GK explains the nuances of snare, tom, and cymbal alignment for a Jazz setup that makes ergonomic playing sense. The different applications of match and traditional grips have playing advantages. Nobody else explains how this works together like he does.

[@tonymazz9912]

You play and have the wisdom of a seasoned veteran. It's astonishing how talented you are. There are 50 y/o pros that can't even match your skills. Thank you for all your videos.

[@shackleton72]

Fantastic tutor Fantastic drummer Great humour Great guy Truly inspirational Greyson Thank you 👏👏👏👏

[@scpk2246]

such refreshing seeing a youngster doing big band stuff - kudos

[@duranjerome]

A breath of fresh air, great perspective

[@fabios.8153]

I love your playing and drive!!! You're a big lever for young generations...Bravo!!!

[@chad-tacular]

This is SO GOOD! Seriously. The reality, functionality, ergonomics to keep in mind...... WOW! Just. Wow. Thanks again G.N. & Drumeo. This info is much needed.

[@giannibadeau3344]

Great job as usual, thank you so much. Its an honor to have you educate me in jazz and big band music! I am so lucky today to watch your video. Cant wait to see more!! 😊

[@thepluggy1]

Greyson, you are the man. Im glad im seeing you more on KZbin as I dont bother with Instagram anymore. Love your playing.

[@ChontosDrumLessons]

Hey Greyson! Man, just wanted to say keep it up! You’re killing it dude.

[@DavesTrumpet]

Great video, Grayson! 🥁🔥

[@michaelbaratto7026]

Cool ! Thank you very much for sharing your SWING - idea ! - 🤗-i like a lot ! - Greetings and Blessings from Germany and Austria, Michael !

[@alexanderednie1205]

He is amazing

[@santanadrums]

Great advice!

[@MistaMahoney]

"if i need to bend a note in a solo, i'll do it. no frills." lol the guy obviously has a lot to teach but is new to teaching on camera. i'm looking forward to seeing more, because he's clearly really good.

[@Ranger1216]

Greyson imagine yourself older as a percussion teacher in a high school or college music department. You have many talents. Great teaching.

[@RockHardRiffs]

Cool stuff 🥁

[@christopherslappey1681]

Greyson When You Do Another Sweetwater Drum Video Again Let Them Get A Shot Of Your Shoes.

[@DrumRoody]

Such an old soul

[@roybeckerman9253]

Even though he’s tied up with Pearl, I’d love to see him play a set of vintage Slingerlands…

[@donaldfabiano7775]

hey young man- you have excellent teaching skills...you've taught me {an old dog} new tricks...and, AND! not to sweat the small stuff, don't be hypercritical of yourself, your playing, your set-up, your critics! just have FUN! drumming's about having fun...thank-you...p.s. i'm a big time sonny payne fan he had chops, showmanship and a great sense of humor and when he was with Basie-MAGIC! ensued. i think i'm going to try traditional grip. i play brushes that way but, not sticks...i'm going to reposition some of the drums and try it out...thanks again.

[@charlestea3642]

I am still learning traditional grip, it seems to sound better, real dynamic & subtle with ghost notes.

[@010aray]

Is that the monophonic ride he's using? Hard to tell.

[@terijoealves]

I'm curious about the size of each of those drums. Greyson mentioned it's a deep snare, but is that a 9x13 rack? 16x16 floor? 20" bass? I'm just guessing, but would really like to know.

[@drummerboyharm3078]

22, 12x9

[@nilsholgersson3409]

Does anyone how the groove at 9:33 is called?

[@jimjones5394]

it's weird living in Fort Wayne where Sweetwater is at because there is nothing here. Sweetwater is kind of on the edge of town so i think most people don't even know it's there. I guess it's a pretty big deal for musicians. In 2007 I worked at a factory that built the fire sprinkler system for Sweetwater. I single handedly put the fittings on all the pipes. Isn't that special? not really.

[@The_Other_Ghost]

As much as DEP is a Jazz fusion band... I didn't expect them.

[@vaughanxaviermusic]

What band is DEP? Does it stand for something?

[@The_Other_Ghost]

@@vaughanxaviermusic Dillinger Escape Plan. Listen to the song "Weekend S..C....." by them, you can hear the jazz influences (jungle too).

[@vaughanxaviermusic]

@@The_Other_Ghost thanks man

[@kiddynamite3931]

I couldn't leave the likes at 666, plus this guy is unreal!

[@rayfabbri3759]

This guy plays like Mickey Rooney in the movie Strike up the band

[@elfurrohetero3518]

32:42 E e ei

[@jazzants]

I'm not familiar with this kid. Which big bands has he played with?

[@chrispetersdrummer]

I think he just plays a lot of Buddy Rich covers. Not sure what all big bands he's played with.

[@whigsthedrummer5127]

"there's dents in my drum" do other drummers not have dents in their drums?

[@elfurrohetero3518]

33:07 His parent's were clowns scaped from a circus

[@cheeser5458]

The thumbnail clearly shows a third arm. This guy is not from this world 👽.

[@simonmontoni5355]

I will always repeat the same about this kid, he is not a phenom, he is not a prodigy, he is just a complete nonsense noise who is having an also nonsense adulation

[@ico8272]

Sorry but what is a 20 year old doing teaching big band? Very sloppy, too many notes. Someone has given this guy a big head. God player but...whatever

[@shackleton72]

Cmon !!!! He's awesome

[@DrummingElk]

Sloppy? Try saying that to Tommy Igoe.. Let's see you play?

[@robertr9138]

Jealous ?

[@chrispetersdrummer]

Honestly didn't see much about big band playing. Quite a bit about some beginning jazz stuff, but nothing really exclusive to big band. Don't know why people are getting hostile towards you.

[@bobbers1880]

Enrico, it's quite apparent you envy his drumming abilities. Sorry man, but that's how your comment came across. He is to drumming as Bobby Fischer was to chess! He has much to offer and share to the world and I look forward to seeing it!

[@superblondeDotOrg]

Show and explain the drum tablature!
