Meinl Cymbals - GEM - "Torque"

[@billmint8122]

@@JoeyvanLeeuwen How about you stop being insecure as fuck and shitting on others' enjoyment of music? No one cares how "smart" you appear by correcting people. The song moves between quintuplets and septuplets in a consistent pattern, similar to a chord progression. That's all the dude meant. Not every song does shit like that. You're ignorant if you think they do. Have a nice night.

Behindthen0thing you’re right but this one is funny

[@jamessmithersmusic]

Watch this with your metronome on 76 bpm. Honestly just mind blowing musicianship in every aspect. Great mix and videography too

[@meinlcymbals]

Hi James. Thanks for checking this out. Glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for the kind words about our audio team and videography team. They work their butts off to make these videos and getting this one just right was more of a challenge than your usual video shoot, so thanks for recognizing their awesome work. - Chris/Meinl

[@jamessmithersmusic]

Thanks Chris :) Doesn’t go unnoticed! Obviously the focus is on the music in this case but every video is always so on point, pleasing to watch and listen to and wouldn’t be possible without everyone’s hard work. I appreciate everything that everyone at Meinl does and thank you for sharing all of that with us 💕

[@PLAZ1990s]

MEINL Cymbals Hey! Just out of curiosity... How many takes did it take these geniuses to get a good take? I mean I know they are bosses and all, but it had to take a few takes right?

Matt doesnt miss a single beat with the Metronome...damn

Never... :(

Hey gang, this is 2020, and our boy Matt confirmed that GEM is dead when i asked him about it on a stream a few weeks ago. I was just passing by and i thought i should let you know. I really wanted this GEM record too... but I guess it's not meant to be.😭😔

[@tylerjulien2532]

I love Matt’s drumming, but that bassist and keys player were insaaaaaannneee

[@kayned47]

Bass player is from dirty loops, not sure where the pianists from, great band though I prefer Matt's drumming in this situation than in animals, he has more room 2 express himself, this is my new fav band, I hope they release an album

[@DunklerZebralord]

On my life I listened to this song literally nonstop for days and it’s just… The small details. The long bass note at 3:10 for example. Just everything ugh I can’t with this song. So. Good. Such a shame GEM is dead (according to Matt :/)

[@JustTutupa]

Eldar is just unbelievable! \m/

[@lyricallax9372]
