It's so funny to me that every metal musician I've ever seen is actually just the nicest sweetest guy and then their music is like DEATH DESTRUCTION BLOOD MURDER KILL EVERYTHING 😂

[@theStr4yD0g]

That's because we get all the aggression out in the practice room or the stage. The rest of the time we are zen.

[@Kerosian1]

It's extremely cathartic to Zen out and play some very aggressive tunes while your body is paradoxically so chilled out. You have to be relaxed to play fast so it's this weird duality of emotions going on. Keeps ya pretty chill.

[@lvcifer-616]

it's also a lot of "I'm so hurt and i have to express myself but my mind will not produce anything else."

[@RC32Smiths01]

Glad to see you expanding genres in the most committed (and funniest) ways possible. Metal drumming is fun, if difficult at first.

[@flavio69420]

It's liberating too, blast beats are a great way to cool down lmao

[@RC32Smiths01]

@@flavio69420 Absolutely, especially gradually building up the speed to a more metal-appropriate tempo. Truly one of the most expressive genres to play drums in, as with all genres.

[@streetsmartdrumming9567]

The metal guy is so gentle and humble.

[@Lungolords]

I am the opposite of Zack, I never knew jazz drummers were so good, but watching him made me appreciate jazz drummers. Good to not be a closed minded drummer

[@arbyscurlyfries9490]

I grew up with a metal band like so many others, but our drummer took it really seriously and introduced us all to jazz and gospel drumming to open our eyes to other influences. Sometimes jazz and gospel drummers just destroy but in a totally different way that can be hard to process initially

[@katskillz]

"I never knew jazz drummers were so good" Oh you can fix this instantly. Just search on YT "Nate Wood drum solo"

[@mikehawkisb1g]

My bands drummer was a worship drummer for a bit and now he plays progressive metalcore (Think ABR, Protest The Hero etc.) and his dynamics are out of this world

[@Lungolords]

@@mikehawkisb1g Thats really cooll!

[@arbyscurlyfries9490]

Heck yeah. The somewhat hidden intricacies are the most important. it's so odd to jam with a drummer that understands that the little notes, and them jam with one that doesn't, you never really notice how sick it is until the barely audible stuff is gone.

[@rahgodsmusicofficialyoutub7039]

Brother, you are truly open to receive. Even when I was teaching, most of my students were gospel drummers and the moment I tried to introduced them to death metal they had all type of excuses of why they didn’t wanna go there.. i’m really glad that you keep exploring all of the possibilities after all, we are drummers.

[@arbyscurlyfries9490]

Open to recieve. Nice

[@mkall]

i think most people dont want to explore other genres which is a shame. like in your example its not like the gospel musicians will suddenly turn into death metal, but they will go out their comfort zone to learn new skills and a deeper understanding of what works in music and what doesnt. there is so much tribalism between genres its insane.

[@rupinnagireddy5719]

I would love to see Zack collab with Matt Garstka since they’re both in Tennessee now. Another jazz turned metal drummer that absolutely kills.

[@iamscythed]

I highly recommend you give an ear to Opeth if you'd want improvement on your techniques. Their drum work has a really good mixture of relaxed jazzy flow and intricate metal power which separates them from similar bands in the same genre.

[@nameloss]

great recommendation, cynic is also worthwhile imo

[@bobisadrummer]

The ending for Closure is so groovy.

[@olliemedsy]

Probably worth suggesting a song. Deliverence probably covers a bit of everything that Opeth do drum wise.

[@iamscythed]

​@@olliemedsy I would recommend Harlequin Forest more than anything tbh.

[@olliemedsy]

@@iamscythed that doesn't have any fast double kick in, or jazzy drumming in it tbh. Mostly just groove based. The opening of deliverance has fast double kicks then the verses are kinda jazzy and delicate. The whole middle section is groovy so all bases are covered really.

[@sembalo1776]

what an awesome dude that teacher was

[@jamesdillon6201]

As a drummer myself I’m under the impression of you can play jazz and metal at any tempo you can play anything on drums

[@WildySouza]

🤝🙂🥁🔥

[@ph03beuwu]

lmao probably

[@velvetfrancois]

I’m simply Impressed how good the teachers cameras setup is

[@hu-ry]

Please continue this practice series :D its great watching you two and seeing how he is trying to teach you while youre making silly jokes. Love the dynamic

[@TazzSmk]

just a quick tip for everyone practicing double-pedal consistency: practice those grooves from weaker (left) foot, and if you want drum sheet just use snare rudiments for two hands and play them with feet on kick drum instead, simple as that :) PS: even if you're not playing metal and not interested in double-bass at all, such excercises will help a lot with stamina and brain to play hi hat on foot along one kick drum

[@clwn9636]

Zack is so talented, he plays 3 people in the intro sketch and still manage to make them look so different!

[@brettbriggs8200]

8:06 why was that blast so clean tho

[@csvscs]

Cause he recorded this part after the lesson

[@CynHicks]

As someone that got into metal, classical and then jazz in that order as a young musician and all by the age of 15 (I'm MUCH older now) I love seeing people still discover that the top jazz and metal musicians are crazy talented.

[@WildySouza]

Indeed my friend!! 🥁👊🏻🙂

[@andrewferguson8032]

That was a lot of fun. Can’t wait for Lesson #2

[@ostentatiousostrich]

Man, this was so wholesome 😊

[@nicolasreny221]

You actually need to have another lesson with that dude it’s mandatory

[@sirblaaze9]

i knew he was brazilian just because of the accent, but when zack said that he's handsome he went like "oww que isso" @16:04 (portuguese for like "oohh come on..") - i speak english on a daily basis it i also let some brazilian expressions slip through when i'm genuine surprised by the situation great to see a brazilian!! very kind interaction from both sides!!

[@WildySouza]

o meu "que isso" foi quase um "lá ele" né? hahah And yeah, some brazilian expressions slip through, we can't help it...

do i smell a future collab? some kind of metal/jazz hybrid?? pyro? actual goth girls ???

[@MajesticDemonLord]

When I was learning to play double bass - I used to do this thing I called 'The left foot/right foot drum off' - Start with a basic 4/4 groove - and each full measure, you swap between playing with the right foot and the left foot on the kick. Then, start adding embellishments - might be some triplets, some 8th note grooves, then working up to some heel-toe stuff etc. The goal was to be able to play with my right foot to a point where I couldn't play with it with my left, then hold it there until I could.

It was funny seeing you bust out those double pedals because they looked so familiar.

And yes they are under $100.
