Internet Drummer after lockdown

Merch: zackgrooves.st...
Please excuse the n00b-ness of my vlog. My cameraman bailed on me last minute.
Guys (and 4.5% girls) I gotta have a chat with you. With gigs being back, I've noticed I've had a little less time to focus on the channel. Well that is absolutely, utterly absurdly and preposterously UNACCEPTABLE. I thought it was time for me to GROW UP and just bring you along with me for the lulz. I LOVE U GGs.

Not only the fast pace of the editing having some parts of the gig in the middle of the video but also this guy's personality makes this vlog so enjoyable to watch.

[@leafar8272]

It's the little things that make it big

[@arjunsubrahmanian7535]

Exaactly!

[@VyperSyren]

Isn't every performance vlog like that ? Lol

[@sam-nuts]

i wish there was a little more snippets of the gig in the video, it would've been even better imo

[@RichardthePage]

Most underrated part of this video - "You know, I saw an Adam Neely video that said that should never happen." 💀💀💀💀💀

[@skateforzero357]

LMAO

[@zettabyte0551]

Or the stepdad part

[@addrock123]

Shots fired! 😂

[@ryuined]

thats what im saying

[@CCDaDon15]

I was unaware that he was considered an annoyance by musicians for this long haha

[@theMixElite]

Wait your fingers actually bleed? I always thought it's impossible

[@crimsonshadows6328]

How do you know if you are playing if you do not bleed?

[@nickey7473]

I bled many times behind a kit, it's definitely possible ._.

[@landonlaureano6850]

It wasn’t quite… his tempo buddy

[@MiloMcCarthyMusic]

wdym you thought its impossible lmao most instruments'll do that

[@Sub2N10]

@@MiloMcCarthyMusic me with a trumpet playing the blues, bleeding to death. 😂

[@sugaraisedonut84]

5:37 love this so much

[@thiesvb3971]

5:52 wow!

[@bromomento2766]

Love how this guy made one of the best music videovlogs and he’s like: ThIs Vidio iS aHliTtLe UnStRUcTurEd

[@EliteWW]

Bro how are you this good at drumming and this swoll, this isnt even fair

[@brokenguillotine6988]

Fax bra

[@camerontetz2011]

I know man, he isn't merely fit, he's fuckin fully thicc.

[@amauricarroll315]

Fr

[@zteaxon7787]

Training is very fair.

[@Booxbred]

If you are saying that his level of work ethic is unfair, I agree... Not everyone is built for that level of hard work. If you are saying he has luck on his side to be so skilled in two crafts, I disagree.

[@niccololaforteza7983]

Dang, its actually so nice to see everyone laughing and having a good time outside again. Thats great.

[@gusmarrero]

go out and have fun... be safe.... but go have fun, others are as well....

[@dericanslum1696]

...hardly slowed down in most of the more sensible parts of the world...

[@niccololaforteza7983]

Yeah man... i live in the PH and things only really got better recently. I dont even know how long itll stay that way

[@TeaScholar]

the bleeding was relatable. had it happen to me at not just live shows, but overly-passionate/potentially intoxicated practice sessions :)

[@DK-yj6mk]

Probably one of the better gig blogs that I’ve seen please make more

[@noahtitren]

I swear, I was smiling through the whole thing like a kid! Your energy is contagious. I can’t wait to play shows, it’s been too long!

[@jamesgd6420]

bro wth, that vlog has such a vibe, i love it. what are you talking about "this is my first vlog, i prolly suck at it". It's gowd. I wanna eat it for dinna

[@davidlantschner7555]

3:31 i wanna hear the full solo

[@Caboose-lp1uh]

You know why I subscribed to your channel? It’s because you didn’t ask me too in every video, you just make great videos so I subscribed. Keep up the amazing work man!!

[@finn8012]

I didn't remember why I liked this video,I researched it and now I wish I could like it again.The way principal d reacts is so wholesome and the fact that all gives his student such a gift is really putting a smile on my face. Bless u all

[@jacobfrey9961]

This was a realy good way to do a q&a. I think normal q&a’s are very boring. This was very intertaining

[@bocilone]

i love the way you took the vids, its so funny and motivates me at the same time

[@danielkuhn4360]

Please do more of this. The way u did the video (vlog style) and the content itself (playing live in a musical setting, not just the practice room) were so cool to see.

[@noahd.2680]

The cymbals maaaan they sound so good! Is the ride a foundry reserve?

[@ZackGrooves]

Monophonic ride!

[@noahd.2680]

@@ZackGrooves aah ok. Sounding very nice doe

[@8020drummer]

of *course* he's a natural at vlog style video-making

[@catchphase]

Honestly one of the most interesting vlogs I've ever watched... I loved the mix of you talking and the footage of you playing on stage, it really tied the video together nicely.

[@marvinhernandez51]

Bro. I'd absolutely love to see more of these vlog syle vids

[@ghoste1138]

This is one of very few channels I can confidently hit like before the video actually starts, and never regret it.

[@junnoskekita3369]

i usually am not a fan of vlogs just cause i find they drag on a fair bit, but this one really hit the spot! loved how fast pace and concise it was, looking forward to more in the future!

[@kevinbeale1520]

ECU baby! Class of 96 - and remember Dr D. Keep up the good work.

[@eyeless9882]

Thank you for being so god damn inspiriting all the time

[@gabrielegiacco5835]

i really loved the transiction for a normal vlog to a QnA video hahahahaha very awesome

[@jooeleng]

This video was amazing man!! I could feel the joy from you and that makes me enjoy watching. A lot!! Keep it up :D

[@JeremiahFestus2]

Who else was smiling stupidly through out the entire video 💕

[@arjunsubrahmanian7535]

What a banger vid 😍 Bro you and Nathan are so wholesome ☺️

[@GwanYTB]

Damn, if only he could post the entire set because the few that we've heard, it sounded absolutely amazing.

[@jordanking3863]

[@MrDrCommonsense]

[@drxzt]

[@vivada2667]

[@brandonboatner9952]

Drums and humor, my two favorite things

[@kaedendigi5733]

He def dodged the fav drum question to keep his sponsor possibilities open 😂

[@theofficialrealjackblackyo9804]

[@christhiele4476]

Damn you sounded so fucking tight. I love watching you jazz out on the kit. Great for your first vlog too man. I hope we see more!!

[@barraca1393]

Dude, you're awesome. I love you.

[@Willemies]

[@owenswift3301]

You make me stank SO MUCH oh my god bro give me your energy

[@Skrubits]

You are an amazing content creator, man. You have entertainment in your blood.

[@Tristanrgreene11]

Ooooh. Damn I love that era maceo, with Kenwood before he lost his mind or whatever, I’ve personally lost mine more than 9 times, so says my second flows brains mind says etc. you have that shit that can automatically turn on which is few and far between. .. so alone on that your thing is electronic, we personally have different thangs going on but we all encompass one my man, so with that said call me dad or mom and you can call me whatever the funk you want get it? I don’t brother, but my fingers haven’t split since I was trying to shred aerosmith in the attic of one of my first bands named Beefeater Gibson… so that even rhymes with bloody hands… cool video as well great to see us all playing freakin gigs. Normalcy is key my man, the key of f. Ty brotha, from your brothers mother’s friend Johnny be bAd!
