John Otto Drum Solo

[@ericrodriguez2855]

One of the best drummers in Nu metal no doubt. Love it or hate it, Limp Bizkit had the best drum sound back then. In my opinion.

[@MMIST7]

Still the best in my book especially these days lmao

[@RichyLucch]

Very similar to early korn sound with david silveira

[@trollpolice]

And Chad from Deftones

[@dutchschaefer4983]

That’s studio magic. Not OV drums. They are actually pretty crappy.

[@evdawg7757]

He's a god damn machine dude! He will always be in my top 5. Unmatched unique technical skills

[@TylerGibsonMusic]

I’ve always loved his snare sound. So crisp.

[@sadetwizelve]

Signature jazz/funk snare

[@heyimgoingtoplaysomegames]

That piccolo sound was INSANELY popular in the 90s. And, it has nothing to do with my personal preference, but I ABSOLUTELY feel the piccolo was the way to go, especially with the beautiful dynamic you'd get with a punchy, low-end kick. Just perfection. David from Korn used this dynamic to great effect on both "Life is Peachy" and "Follow the Leader".

[@Brandon3_6]

heyimgoingtoplaysomegames actually in follow the leader he used some type of 14x6.5 bubinga or maple tama starclassic but just cranked it

[@SeismicJack]

Indeed.

[@ibelieveinsomething3895]

The snare??? That yes also, but he is the master of cymbals

[@xXxThelegend27xXx]

I love this because it shows he has the chops and yet holds back and plays exactly what’s right for the band when he plays for Limp Bizkit

[@barryneal5740]

He's got some very respectable chops. To those who are saying he's off tempo, look up syncopation, and utilizing other time signatures within 4/4, this guy is on point.

​Troll comment. I know drumming and never told others they didn't. I just explain what I think. And regarding Otto, super Groover. Feel, touch and choice. He had it here. What's your excise

[@mArcOnDrums]

i just love otto´s drumming in limpbizkit´s "nobody like you" has got a nice solo and some groovy breakbeats

[@BewareTheWater11]

i love the points where it seems like he's about to screw up and not land it on the beat but pulls it together in this weird changing of space and time kinda way, love when he does that on the drum solo in Nobody Like You

[@Bmatikbeatz]

John is an under-rated drummer..man you can learn a lot from this guy!

[@iBaraban]

this guy has a great feeling of music, he got that groove, he brought a lot in new metal with his jazz school and been developing through limp bizkit albums. he has his own style, just listen to a short solo in "nobody like you" i think its a great drum solo there.. its not much of the technique, but with great feeling and emotion. that's what every drummer needs besides the technique part.

[@13Drumsticks]

I think being a student of John Otto is the dream of every drummer.

[@scottwalters3436]

Its never been my dream

[@johnnyfoti4438]

he's so underrated

[@tuffsy46]

got this solo a travis barker solo a chad sexton solo and an adrian young interview on a cd rom when i ordered my ocdp kit a couple of years ago.

[@kingbob9171]

Needs to be more drum clips like this of John there barley any I thought there would be more by now ffs. Amazing drummer still

[@TheDobii]

He plays with so much emotion. That gives his style the degree of perfection.

[@RichyLucch]

You know its 90s/early 2000s when theres Zildjian Zs

[@paulhaines5755]

Awesome drummer! It's amazing how a drummer as good as John Otto can put in a bunch of complicated fills then come back in spot on to the beat/music. I'd be so lost/rushed but then again my limit is wipe out or we got the beat!

[@Skullian1]

John Otto.... A genius... A god alive!! No comment

Calm down with the God $hit there Pal.

That Ocdp snare sounds killer 🙏🏻

[@Walter_E_Kurtz]

He's one of my favorites.

[@iceman634]

john otto is a sick drummer. not cuz of his technical skill but cuz he's playing with SOUL.. which in my opinion is wut it comes down to

[@musiqsoundsproductions]

He is soooo frkn good. And that snare sound is still to die for.

[@chizzadbc]

he had a pretty cool pocket at the start for like 15 secs,then it just all falls to shit, nice work taking us to the matthews bridge

[@stefjames95]

MMMMMM That OCDP snap snare. 😍

[@tod4y]

I appreciate the ghost in their music.

[@SirIronHeart]

After reading about him in several publications, and with all of the training & studying he says he has done, I was expecting more from him.

[@bryangleisner7316]

People forget to realize that he was in jazz band in high school so that's why he has a good tempo

[@119bm14]

With his chops and technique it's obvious he was either a jazz or gospel drummer

[@85ddrummer]

I refuse to believe that. Absolutely nothing in his playing shows me he ever played jazz

[@rafaelfreitasmusic]

that's the kind of musician I love to see: doesn't necessarily play only his band style, but knows how far music goes, eclectically amazing.

[@adrumlegend]

with this guy i started playing air drums and began to get interested in drums. Really nice influence from him.

[@Vinylrebel72]

John Otto is an incredible drummer, Im not a Limp Bizket fan, but I admire this mans ability, he is one of the best drummers out there. If i formed a jazz band he would be my first choice.

[@Maxthethird3]

Alternative title : John Otto plays old school porn soundtrack

[@bigups43]

haha take em to the matthews bridge!! gotta love jacksonville.

[@XxbluntOpTiCsxX]

def one of my favorite drummers, playing fast isnt anything, its about technique and finesse, that's impressive.

[@WEEZER08274MH]

He doesn't play double bass kicks in any Limp Bizkit song specifically that I know of, no. He was using double kick for a bit in that beat he just played in the video though. At 2:07 - 2:13 there's double bass kick.

[@indicajones]

Mad people dont know this but Sam Rivers and John Otto (who are cousins by the way) were trained in a like jazz funk fusion style.

[@Moro371]

just gorgeous drumming....so good

He started out as a jazz drummer; he's just grooving. I respect the guy, despite his choice of band (i.e. Limp Bizkit).

@antilus709 What you're referring to is called syncopation. The only signature change he makes is from 4:4 to 6:8 for fills, neither of which are "off-time".

[@AlfredoEditor]

he seems like a great jazz drummer... he should play hip hop rock.

[@311Vision]

@snarfizzle Hell yeah bro. My Vented-20-ply OC snare is sensitive/dry enough, but 30 and 40-ply OC snare? damn! Looks like a hollowed-out tree trunk.

@311Vision its pure otto! one of his signatures. personally, i would never play a snare like that, but he makes it work in a way thats awesome. just one of the many reasons i idolize the guys playing.

[@smarkmalark]

I never cared for or liked Limp Bizkit at all but John Otto has always been a powerhouse. They were definitely one of the tightest bands of their era and I always thought Limp Bizkit could easily stand alone greatly just as an instrumental band because their grooves could be so immaculate because the rhythm section is just that good. Kinda the same as I feel about Megadeth with Nick Menza or Gar Samuelson

[@deanfowles3707]

for a nu metal drummer he is extremely good. for a jazz drummer he is probably a bit below averege.

[@bremmes]

His dad was a jazz drummer

[@TacoCrisma]

Disagree, he’s got some chops. He’s no Chris Coleman but he’s not bad either.

[@massimocarta666]

Nu metal drummers are normally very good. It's an underrated genre just because it doesn't waste song minutes on playing solos, and concentrates on sound mostly. He'd be a good jazz drummer as well, u can see the skills

[@deanfowles3707]

@@massimocarta666 actually I think you're probably right. I'm a huge fan of David silviera. He made Korn, and they were never the same again.
