Such an awesome friendly dude, that's willing to help fellow musicians regardless off skill. Just a good human being, but approaching legendary status eventually. Just listen to his influence on JD.

[@billepperson2662]

The same sprit inhabits both (musical knowledge & jokes)

[@jonseals]

I've been playing drums more than 50 years. I love how Louis embraced his heroes and plays the way he wants. When I was a kid, everyone always tried to get me to stop playing so busy. He's like, "I'll do what I want. This is how I play."

[@thefunkybeautiful]

Exactly! Imitate and break down what you like best, and develop into the drummer you want to be, not someone else's idea of a drummer. You never stop learning, that's the beauty of drumming. If every drummer stuck to rigid structure and the rule book, drumming would never have evolved as it has done.

[@Edude117]

What bothers me about Louis is how he’s mainly a drummer, yet can play the keys so well that it makes me, a classically trained pianist, look like a novice. Amazing musician.

[@kobe1902]

Keys are technically still percussion 😉

[@aidanschram9652]

@@kobe1902 that doesn’t really mean much. It’s not like drums carry over much to keyboard/piano

@@aidanschram9652 Chick Corea had a way of thinking liek that - fingers are ten drummers, as he said. He played drums too. Not saying its the same, just that on the level of those dudesit is all music.

[@aidanschram9652]

@@troubleboy Yes but chick is a pianist who translates his piano skills to drums. I’m talking about drummers who take up piano. There is the independence factor and a little bit of finger technique that translates over as well as rhythmic phrasing, but it’s hard to play piano if you don’t know any music theory and have no experience with playing melodic instruments.

[@craigridley9618]

‘He sleeps with a metronome under his pillow”, sounds 100% like a Jack Stratton improv~ So great having Louis on the channel, thank you guys!

[@bigmichael2765]

This has to be one of the best interviews with a musician EVER. It felt not only extremely educational, but someone’s brain with extremely valuable knowledge was picked at a very human level. It felt like my takeaway had just as much motivation in relatability as it did inspiration in looking up to a respected drummer.

[@PainterX97]

Louis always has such a stoic straight faced vibe in all his content that I clicked the video simply because of that big genuine smile in the thumbnail.

[@mr.nobody2244]

"i am not designed to play drums..." he says that casually while being one of the best drummers i know of.

[@Joseseaslab]

The most groove oriented living musician... so much inspiration

[@elliottinspace4792]

Louis Cole is the nicest guy I’ve met and one of my favorite modern musicians. I’ll never forget the NYC show when he invited me to another secret show at a different club. What an awesome human being.

[@DJCosmicLatte]

Secret show, eh? Did that show happen to have a different headliner, perhaps masked performers~?

[@zimiani]

- How much do you practice with metronome? - Oh man! Not enough! I wish I did more! (...) I use to sleep with a metronome under my pillow. This is his "not enough". That explains a lot!

[@EyeSpyHiFi]

The more I see and hear from Louis Cole, the more it becomes apparent that he is one of the greatest musicians of not just his generation but many generations. What a cool guy too.

[@fheering]

Only 8 min into the episode and I already love it. Louis is able to give a fine balance between playing and talking, during the conversation. I mean, he doesn't talk too much while leaving us wanting to hear some drum playing, and at the same time he plays just enough to make a point on what he's talking about. Amazing!

[@jonopens]

I've been listening to almost nothing but Louis Cole for several years now. His music so dominates everything in my catalog that it's just natural. By far my favorite musician of all time, and I'm older. Totally stunned me that my musical center could be uprooted so late in my life.

[@JAvellino669]

Hearing Louis Cole made me pick up the drums again after a few years away. He made me want to fail in a cooler way, too! The joy he plays with is infectious.

[@kidyuki1]

I think you two talking with Louis is another case for a potential podcast. I could listen to the three of you talk for hours.

[@cooldebt]

💯 Even if a lot of it is over my head 🤭

[@Sikthkid]

Gross

[@blunderbass851]

I know about Louis Cole from -definitely not ClownC0re- and it's so cool to see him here!

[@Circaninesix]

People theorize that Cole is the anonymous drummer of Clown Core and now hearing that he likes to put a cymbal on his snare, just like the dude in Clown Core does, has me convinced. Also because they are both insanely talented.

[@bigrob966]

Nope. The clown is just a clown. There is no human under the mask.

[@BlueZirnitra]

Truth. That beat immediately reminded of one of their tracks, it just needed a bit faster with that weird bass synth over it and a more swingy feel

[@longde]

Louis Cole has already said he doesn't KNOW who Clown Core are, and the fact that the drummer in clown core uses the very same snare setup, kit configuration, right foot technique, cymbal bell technique, drum patterns, open handed technique, body posture, and has the same body frame and neck, does NOT mean he is Louis Cole.

[@carlwinslow5905]

So did Zach Hill, does that make him the drummer of Clown Core? Lol.

[@Marinecreature]

@@carlwinslow5905 FINALLY

[@CamTarn]

It's so interesting and fun hearing three detail-obsessed musicians talking about the real subtle stuff: micro-timing, little variations in grip of stick or pick, Louis's thing about sleeping with a metronome under his pillow 😂 And I'm sitting here pretty much unable to hear the timing differences in the samples they're talking about. They really are on another level, and I love the enthusiasm with which they geek out about it.

[@CamTarn]

This video got me back on my drum kit for the first time in months. I've been in a really hard slump music-wise this year, so to be reminded of just how *fun* playing and writing music is - that's pretty amazing. Thanks, y'all ❤️

Wow, you lived together in college? The amount of raw talent in this group of friends is staggering.. Scary pockets, Louis Cole, Moonchild, Sam Wilkes, Jacob Mann... And that's just the tip of the iceberg

[@lukepalumbo6506]

Y’all should bring more drummers but also bring a drummer to ask questions and discuss as well. Drumming is so different than any other instrument, it would really help to have drummers ask drummer questions.

[@val_val_]

Yep. Exactly my thought. They are amazed by things that are considered standard technique with many professional drummers.

[@ToneSherpa]

Louis Cole with the earplugs.. protecting the hearing. Respecc. I literally can't play the drums for shit unless I have my plugs in. It's like the super loudness and high frequencies make me play more timid. But if it's muted a bit I can go all out.

[@MrEazyE357]

He said he has tinnitus so I'm sure he doesn't want it to get worse.

Really looking forward to everything louis cole will release. In this interviews you truly get the impression he's having the mindset of great artists who always want to improve or get closer to their inner vision of the music in their heart.

[@gabrielwareing]

18:50 so glad that I wasn't the only one that spent lockdown doing this. I went as far as filming my picking in slow motion which was a whole rabbit hole to go down.

Lol, I didn’t exactly do it during the lockdown but it’s certainly a topic visited multiple times in my playing. I’ve kind of switched from a more anchored to floating picking hand technique, but every time I visit “how to hold the pick” the result is always “how most guitarists seem to hold their pick does not work AT ALL for me”. I don’t know if it’s true but many seem to hold the pick against like the first or second joint of their index finger? (I hold it against the fingertip more.) I just can’t do that. Maybe it has advantages, maybe not. Either way it’s way too late and not worth it to change at this point I feel. I do alter my grip when strumming compared to picking single notes too… but that’s something I’ve been doing for a long time too which I wasn’t even aware of doing until recently so can’t really tell if good or bad. 😅

[@croay]

More Louis Cole is always welcomed! Going to be adding new artists to my playlist now :)

I saw Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth, and Buddy Rich all for the first time, and all within 1 year. The buddy Rich concert was amazing, it was a free event in a local neighborhood park. He tore it up!

[@elbraymundo]

Man I love hearing this guy talk about Buddy Rich. Mostly because of my old high school band teacher (shout out Mr. Vespa!) I associate Buddy Rich with Gene Krupa and I would love an episode about him and old-ass drums.

[@HessianHunter]

That era is so cool to me because the drum set had just barely been invented yet people were absolute rippers even by modern standards

[@andrewbarrett1537]

I mean... drum sets were barely around since like the 1890s. But yeah I think it started with crazy snare work and then branched out. There were a few ragtime drummers who got recorded. Check out Buddy Gilmore with I think the James Reese Europe band.

[@vanishthecat]

Louis Cole is one of my favorite drummers so this video is a gift!

[@ryecatchersmusic]

Every time I share Louis Cole's music with non-musicians, many times I get this weird blank reaction - they just do not get it. Show the same material to musicians and the reaction is immediate: they are blown away and instantly subscribe to his channel and seek out more of his stuff. That says it all, really.

[@rieekan243]

This. Exactly. Yes.

[@TastyLaserCakes]

I get the same reactions but I never stopped to think why tho. I wonder why...

[@ryecatchersmusic]

@@TastyLaserCakes My own guess is simple wavelength - a lot of peeps are trained to accept certain formats and styles because that is all they know - when they hear something that breaks outside those safe boundaries they just don't know what to do with it. Musicians, because they delve deeper (and are, in theory, more creative), are more accustomed to looking beyond the norm and appreciate a vanguard with ingenuity when one breaks through the mundane. I think musicians might better appreciate the technical qualities too. And so we embrace Mr. Cole.

[@Patronwillis]

"This just sounds like club music" "Yeah, but he's doing it on real drums" "So?" God dammit

[@avramidis3d]

One day I was listening to Louis Cole and sent it to a friend of mine. "Oh, you should check this" he said, and sent me back a video of "Scary Pockets". Today, I found out that these guys are connected. Wonderful how synchronization works. Thanks world! Thanks music!

[@spangalang]

I especially love how Louis (and our esteemed interviewers) open up about how we try to emulate our idols and fail, simply because of anatomy. I did this for years and didn't understand why I was failing. As Louis says, the smart track is to embrace your weird body and its limits and play to its strengths. That's where your signature sound will come from.

[@poneill6]

Keith Carlock's trad grip thing is wild! Nobody sounds like him, I got to see him live in Kolkata with Wayne Krantz and Tim Lefebvre as a teenager over a decade ago, and safe to say, I've not been ok since XD love that Louis was inspired by him! So frikkin cool

[@NarolAlexa5777]

My son introduced me to Louis Cole’s music a few years ago and I became a fan from the very first note.

[@pepe7drum]

Louis is one of the most dangerous drummers of our generation, every time i see him drumming i ended up blending my back beacause he is so in the edge my body expects him to fall down but he never falls! he keeps going like a freakin beast, this guy is a hall famer of drums

[@bttrflyfrk]

My absolute favorite thing with all the guests is that they're willing to try to mimic what they hear...and most have the background to succeed which is WILD. I just love listening to every episode and feeling like a fly on the wall as people nerd out about music. I would love to hear more thoughts about how you guys feel about artists with very wide/large instrumentation and what it brings to the music. You touched on it briefly in the September video about Earth Wind & Fire, but I've been wondering about this since I heard Aim and Ignite by fun.

[@andrewbarrett1537]

At 17:49 we are hearing about Jack DeJohnette ‘setting up his own grid’ and then ‘playing against himself’, but AFAIK this is actually the idea behind ragtime piano: The soloist sets up the groove with one hand and then plays against it with the other. Some less-informed people may demur and claim that ‘both hands are locked together’ or ‘on the same grid’ or whatever, and this SEEMS the case when you look at published sheet music of ragtime piano, but NOT when you hear AUDIO RECORDINGS (and also early pre 1917 or pre 1915 non arranged non human-quantized hand played piano rolls from 1903-1906 and 1912-1917) of great original pianists like Arthur Marshall, Charley Thompson, Blind Boone, James P Johnson, Fred Hylands, Clarence M Jones, Pete Wendling, Eubie Blake, Luckey Roberts, Ed M Pirsell, Fannie Woods Mansfield, Joseph Lamb, George Gershwin, Roy Bargy, Bertha Wolpa, Gertrude Baum, etc etc. They are almost always doing something with the time which is much more subtle than suggested in any published sheet music or in some of the quantized commercial piano rolls. There is really something special going on here and I have only ever heard a relatively few later generation (born 1911 and later) ragtime and early jazz pianists who are really able to produce some version of this effect. I think one reason is that relatively few ragtime pianists today are also drummers and listen to the rhythms with that level of fine detail. I should single out a few particularly funky pianists of the 1920s who really standout to me as being 25-50 years ahead of their time: Clarence Johnson, “Jim Clarke” (James Smith), Lemuel Fowler, Fred Longshaw, Cow Cow Davenport, and of course Jabo Williams (although technically I don’t think he got to record until 1932). I wish I could name more recorded pianists born pre 1880, particularly Black pianists (the vast majority I have named were born after 1880), but unfortunately due to racism and also the late advent of commercial recording technology (commercial recording didn’t get started until about 1889 and before 1902 it was a hellacious grind due to the artists having to perform the same tune over and over to make enough copies for sale, until better cylinder-reproducing methods were invented, and then of course discs won out; so the majority of the early extant records were performed by these long-suffering studio artists, since most famous musicians did not want anything to do with recordings until later, apart from a few one-off homemade records), very few Black pianists got to record or make rolls before 1921. After this time, things changed and we can hear more artists. Also, after the big 3 record companies’ lock on the industry was broken around that time (mid to late teens), many more smaller companies sprung up and recorded more people.

I love the adjectives you guys use (soupy, organic) - I've been an amateur musician (and listener) for a while, and there were some musicians for whom I naturally went towards some kind of food-based description. E.g. whenever I l hear Paul Chambers (Miles bassist on Kind of Blue), I instantly felt his tone was 'edible' in some way and I couldn't justify why!
