Donny's songwriting is great but I think a lot of people underappreciate how good of a bass player he is. Top notch technical skills that get applied tastefully to support the song and create infectious grooves.

He's a fine bass player.. BUT. the thing that is most impressive about him is the fact that he can play this shit and sing lead on all these songs... and it's all super complex and syncopated. It's not like the song gets simpler when he starts to sing and then he complicates it for the instrumental breaks.. It's like trying to juggle and ride a tricycle or something.
@MSantanaT13 ай бұрын
It's the first time I watch him (or listen to him), and clearly he is more a bass player than anything. His singing is not great but damn that bass is pure fire.

@mattn.25204 ай бұрын
Everyone in the band is no doubt highly talented, but the full sound comes from the massive amount of backing tracks they're using (vocals, synths, keyboards). The drummer triggers them on a pad before every song.
