[@whatshendrix]

I love how the most replayed moment of this video is when Louis accidentally drops his stick and it still sounds like the funkiest ghost note lick. 1:33 Like Louis is so grooving that when he drops his stick, it just continues to play funky shit. He's turning time and space around him into pure drum'n'bass

I just realized why I didn’t notice that at first... because not only does it SOUND perfectly in time, it even LOOKS like it wasn’t a mistake because his hand was following the stick so closely that it would appear he didn’t even lose grip of it at all lol Sorry that probably made absolutely no sense at all fucj

[@meshuggahdave5607]

You sir have been proven wrong.

[@rebusd]

Tell that to Jojo and Mr Rabb haha

[@cooperofnavarone8616]

Jungle uses drumbreaks originally played by humans and in my opinion most good "jungle" NOT using breaks tries to mimic the human nuances and feel that occur in breakbeats by using velocity thresholds and quantizing techniques. That "groove/feel" is kind of what jungle is founded on. Now.. Playing some Venetian Snares on a kit would definitely be a impossible challenge. Listen to the album "Rossz Csillag Alatt Született" if you haven't already. It uses the Winston's "amen" brother breakbeat in 7/4 profusely and has the craziest drilling manipulations of this break I have personally ever heard!

[@rebusd]

Drum as if you can see several separate rhthym streams and perform them effortlessly. And he's obviously very gifted. Never, ever give up on developing a skill you have in a smaller quantity than those you see. Compete to develop. You can't know what training will develop in you. Start with the beat and get relaxed, live in it. You can do wonderful things, and surprise yourself.
