[@tlkshowhst]

[@wgbm92]

That groove change at 1:17 ?!?!? FACE MELTING!

[@Thunshot]

The song is in five but they switch to four and then back to five. Super cool.

[@poppapunker6238]

My god this is the sickest thing I've heard in a good while. Fresh and funky baby.

[@brianbilick1707]

The rhythmic displacement is awesome and I love the latin elements in here; very well done; solid playing and dynamics.

[@Nedwin]

one of the best performances I've ever seen in my life. Especially for the bass player; Love you Mono Neooon!!

[@AHumanClay]

Amazing..! What a masterpiece..!!

[@memeperor_]

oh my god to play this kind of music with other people requires a ridiculous amount of skill. i could only play weird rhythms like this if i was solo.

[@joshjones9749]

Been waitin to see this song done big since that Mononeon video.

[@MeMe4882]

Must have this album in my life now!!

[@guberto881]

[@andrereed2898]

[@ferdvs8483]

[@DSP_Visuals]

[@davidjackson9565]

[@nate11one]

MonoNeon! He's unreal, check out his youtube channel!

[@funkyduck4743]

You need to check his YT, the guy is a genius.

[@ddrum705]

+Nathaniel Hunter yeah MonoNeon is a beast on the bass but I don't think I could play along side him with all that extra curricular gear he wears and puts on his bass LOL Dude can play tho

[@teddygrant5416]

Hey Prince dug his look when Mono played for him sooooo....

[@milesleblanc164]

He's also got a few solo albums. They're dope.

[@mariosergiorubina]

Sweettt!!!😉

[@zetetic23]

YES

[@chickenbeforeegg]

This is the best kind of ridiculous.

[@EscapeTheGuitar]

Dat groove feeds off my soul and I LIKE IT ! Anybody got an idea on what is making that fucking rhythmically mind blowing bounce ? That groovy headnoding eye squinting feel that makes me just want to fuck up my room and cuss at myself for not being as talented as these guys ? I mean is it the time signature ? I NEED TO PUT A WORD ON IT

[@alexgraham1855]

theyre overlapping 5/8 and 4/4. i think.

[@bourgeoisbrats]

1,2,3,1,[2],1,2,3,1,[2],1,2,3,1,[2],1,2,3,1,[2] To really "get it", count it in your head and say 2 (out loud), where I put square brackets around the 2 :-)

[@EscapeTheGuitar]

Awesome ! thank you all for answering ! I still play the shit outta this song every time I feel low on energy ! Uasuka you've been most helpful !

[@bourgeoisbrats]

First, do you see anybody in the band using 16th note body language while they're playing? No, you don't. You see people exhibiting the half-time feel. Mono Neon is not "bobbing" to no 16th notes, my friend :-) Second, "you're not sure if that's right" is just a micro-aggressive way to say you didn't count it that way...so it must be wrong. It's not. If you were a band conductor with a baton conducting this, you would not be waving the baton in no "1-e-an-a" 16th note motion, dude. I wrote it the way I wrote it, because people watch the conductor to get the time with foreign rhythms. My notation was like what a conductor (or choreographer) would use. I know my conductor-like notation "is right" and can easily post voice-over proof on SoundCloud, if anyone is interested.

[@bourgeoisbrats]

First, I'm not having trouble "understanding" anything. Second, go back and re-read the original question which is "what is making it bounce?", not "where are the accents" or "how do you write it out on a drum chart?"! You were so caught in your fervor to "prove" me wrong and invalidate what I wrote, that you didn't even friggin' answer the question the dude asked! Lol Second, did you really think I didn't know the tune is in 5/4 (and what the 4 in that time signature means/represents)? Third, I didn't write that you said to bob in 16th notes. I brought up 16th notes because you wrote 1-e-an-a, which has been used to count 16th notes ...for ages. Even with that, I never wrote that your 16th note-based notation was "wrong". Now you're butt hurt because I used a passive aggressive tone to call you out on the micro-aggressive way you reply to YT commenters. Case in point, you wrote "The 80/20 Drummer nobody is allowed to dislike things that you like? Okay princess." as a reply to the YT commenter named The 80/20 Drummer. He wasn't even talking/replying to you, but yet you still felt the need to play "thought police". I'm guessing the "Okay princess" part was intended as a "compliment", right? FOH! Again, my notation is from a conductor/choreographer's perspective and is presented using 1/4 notes, with 4 measures in the overall pattern..even though like you, I am a drummer. I used 1,2,3,1,2 (instead of 1,2,3,4,5), because that's how a conductor/choreographer friend told me they interpreted it :-) Saying "2" aloud on the second 2 (or "5", if that's your preference), is a way they made it "bounce". Finally, the difference between me and you is that I'm open to listening to/embracing the perspective of others...without subscribing to some socially-engineered, directive to invalid their demonstrable reality...because it happens to differ from the one I currently hold. Again, not saying (and never said) your perspective is "wrong" or "might be wrong". I do however know that I can demonstrate that my conductor/choreographer friend's perspective is just as right as your 1-e-an-a "right way" :-)

[@GediSpock]

Snark puppy's bongo player?

[@intrepid_wandering]

Love how the bass player is playing his bass upside down because he's left-handed.

[@kent-harryjohansen9591]

He's right handed

[@BrenainnJordan]

[@hebertmateusarthorius237]

Como contar o tempo dessa musica?

[@TeaParty4Thugs]

Anyone know what heads Sput is using on his floor toms?

[@zacziegler9]

Kinda late response, but he's using Evans EMAD bass heads on the floor toms

[@john5619]

Sput is a sick puppy!!!!!!!!!!

[@driven2excel65]

Ghostnote!!!!

[@rickwaz]

So bad ass.

[@emmanuelntow]

What time signature is this? Doesn't sound like 4 or is that because of the accent displacement? Not sure

[@Hgbrtl]

It seems to be 10/4 .

[@austinchoatedrums]

+Hugo Bertil it's much easier to count it in 5/4.

[@drumpillo]

5 against 4 polymetres (metre: 4/4 (most of the time the thirt quarter note is highlightet by the drummers on the snare) , but it depends on where you think the first note of the measure starts; divided into a 16th note subdivision; every 5th 16th note is played by the bassplayer to create somewhat a second puls)

[@samcooke343]

I'd count it 5/8 myself. 5/4 is probably too slow to count accurately through the solo section, but as Nick said it's a social construct. Just feel it however you want to.

[@HiIamTwist]

It is a 4 over 5/4 @ approx. 120 bpm 4/4 being played by the bass, 5/4 by the drums

[@GGDrummer]

Always high quality musicians. Not for anyone to be in videos of MEINL

[@ccjacks3]

What kinda over the ear headphones are those?

[@ranehaynes1886]

They are Fostex T20RPs.

[@Johnbobon]

They're special over-the-hoodie headphones.

[@sriv9045]

So when is your Album coming out? I can hardly wait.

[@shondrums]

Sri V Ghost-Note currently has two albums out of you haven’t found out yet.

[@reginaldgreen6221]

My nephew Alvin Ford Jr. with the cap on

[@MrDonc78]

damn that's a mean beat

[@yatesdrumportfolio]

isn’t this groove also used in a zildjian live vid?

[@Erotomainomano]

someone have the bass tab for this song?

[@drewb5775]

its just a scale down for 90% of it... just figure it out

[@AuXXKeyz]

whats the time signature ?

[@Diegorfelix]

Why there's a sock at the top of bass?

[@austinchoatedrums]

Because he's MonoNeon.

[@davidlujan4603]

+Austin Choate Exactly lol.

[@rhyswatson1]

is this available as a recording somewhere?

[@diggitynait]

Yes! Checkout our record. Ghost-Note, Fortified.

[@maegnificant]

Nate Werth im in love with your first record! when will the second be released?

[@Fkroll6]

Ahhhhh that tama logo is not straight.... What was seen can't be unseen, damn OCD.

[@Thunshot]

Sput is a baaaaaaaad man

[@bsm6776]

that brotha have a pleather hat?

[@thisisthereafter]

where was this recorded?

[@ranehaynes1886]

Sound Stage Studios in Nashville, TN "Ronnie's Place"

[@PhantomBoy7]

4:57 jesus

[@louismarcell]

One.

[@bourgeoisbrats]

1,2,3,1,2,1,2,3,1,2,1,2,3,1,2,1,2,3,1,2 Accenting all the "ones", of course :-) That's probably how Sput explained it to the original bass player, who couldn't "get it right"! Lmao. Mono Neon nails it. Reminds me of something Mike Brecker would write.

[@maegnificant]

Caleb you are right

[@marcdedouvan]

Like a mountain road. (^_-)

[@updownleftrightasdw8423]

what kind of idiophone is that xylophone thing?

[@drummer14494]

Snoop Dog on the Bass !

[@joshbiyinzika4944]

Ya mn

[@spencerperry1423]

So uh... Dywane is playing a right handed bass as a lefty therefore making it upside down... just thought I'd bring that to attention

[@Lo0se369]

2:00-2:04😱😵🤢😵😱

[@Lo0se369]

Omgoodness wat waz tht!!!

[@poppapunker6238]

Sput is so ill. GOD!#%U!@U*#%)*!^

[@nelskudler]

Parts tanken from Drew - Bouvet

[@nelskudler]

... taken...

[@thiagoccmorais]

wtf! :D

[@israelasafe7383]

First

[@Johnbobon]

I don't get the point of having two drummers.

[@giggs102]

But why two drummers? It just sounds messy

[@samcooke343]

It sounds fantastic. Loads of bands use two drummers and pan them left/right, gives you a massive sound.

[@maegnificant]

Prep's Casket maybe you should though. listen to kamasi Washington's new record. if done right, more percussion is better percussion and this band is called ghost note for a reason
