Jon Karel - Drum Solo - Vic Firth Promo

*disclaimer* I claim no rights to this video, this is Vic Firth's production www.vicfirth.com
Hopefully no one minds that I reupped this to youtube!
I really wanted to get this reuploaded to KZbin incase it ever went amiss on Vic Firth's website, as Jon was one of my personal favorite drummers and inspirations growing up.
Impressive guy with a reasonably short legacy thus far, check it out :^)

[@meatwallace]

if you're checking this out in 2022+, go check out Jon's channel @ www.youtube.com/@jonkarel and his band The Sawtooth Grin's latest album, Good @ kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4rJZ41nqrKBo8U absolutely bonkers stuff, a real treat after such a long hiatus

Jon's work with The Number 12 Looks Like You, for me is some of the most original and innovative drumming in metal music. The gardens all nighters is an amazing example of Jon's talent. Mad respect.

[@eddiebernays514]

the number twelves break up was so incredibly horrible. it seems all of the amazing and talented musicians gave up on music at the same time. none of the band's that had an impact on my life are together anymore or just haven't put out any new music since 2008ish.

[@chronofx]

You do realize Number Twelve is back together, yea?

[@TunnelJumper]

chronofx yes but he's not in the band :(

[@DR.B13666]

While I do love Jon's drumming, the #12 is amazing live without him. Just saw them on Friday. Please support the if you can.

[@eddiebernays514]

if more metal bands had drummers who were trained in all genres of music, metal would be 100x better. but i still love metal.

He started studying drums at 9 years old at an institute. This is what happens! Favorite drummer of all time with Chris Penne being a close second.

[@kingflukaur6184]

sooo many styles in less than 7 minutes, it's unreal!!!

[@adderon]

I picture a mad crazy capoeira session going on with this drumming

[@Iceman219]

Jon said in a podcast he put in 10,000 hours of practice by age 16 or something along those lines. Insane.
