I feel like somebody needs to emphasize this guy's INSANELY PRECISE TIMING. I've been playing drums for 7 years and I couldn't hit just straight 16th notes at this tempo with that kind of consistency, let alone the way he's slicing it up between hands and feet and even throwing in some freaking 32nd notes. I've hardly heard anything like it.

@@jamescruz8678 The Sabian B8 serie is the cheapest from Sabian. They may be good for the price but it's really super entry level and they are famous for having a really bad sound :S

And yet there are videos of drummers that fucking suck and are all like "spend more on cymbals! Spend! Spend! Spend!"

[@winterlogical]

@@LaLogic2 for real... I'm of the opinion that any kit or cymbal only sounds as good as what the player puts into it - you don't have to spend hundreds to play the instrument well. Naturally I'm with Daniele Lewis on the point that Sabian B8s are cheaper/lower quality by cymbal standards, but obviously Louis Cole could probably make anything work. I mean, look at his keyboard set up. he uses a direct USB midi-controller into his computer lol.

[@LaLogic2]

@@winterlogical i know what you mean... More expensive equipment is OBVIOUSLY going to be better but there i am watching videos of the humble Sabian cymbal than i can afford and upgrade to (i literally had a horrible rusted brass disk as a cymbal before) and every video i watched of people playing it everyone was roasting the fuck out of it and i found it so unfair specially considering that it sounded good enough for me, lol people are jerks

I've been a musician for 54 years. A life playing bass professionally. I've played a lot of styles, and with young cats that kick butt. Sadly, the music of today, is so formulaic, and unimaginative.. it kinda made me sad for the future generations of musicians... then, I heard Clown Core. And these guys. To say they have blown that notion out of the water, is an understatement. For a guy like me, that listens to everything from Lee Morgan, Herbie Hancock, The Beatles, and King Crimson, Jethro Tull, and Bert Kaempfert, this is something that is so far advanced, it truly amazes me. Kudos, guys, for restoring my faith in the brilliance of truly dedicated, insane and gifted cats using technology to make some of the most uniquely entertaining music I've ever heard..

[@antifret]

I came across Louis Cole via a video for Kerbal Space Program 2, and I am so glad I did. He and his cohort's musicality is a breath of fresh air for me. Lately I've been getting into much older music, and not much current. This is a refreshing break from what I guess I was escaping in 2020, it's virtuosity but not intolerably wanky. There's a great sense of humor and attention to detail.
