That was one of the best musical performances ive ever seen.

[@hugorezende199]

This level of felling is unbeatable. Great song and recording. So much quality in one video.

[@zarwarrior]

The drummer has an impressive dynamic range control!!! Cymbals maintaining their coloration and voicing their beautiful sound at any range level it's outstanding.

[@benink5690]

Triggers?

[@JTonthedrums]

@@benink5690 Absolutely Not!!!

[@christophercollier4999]

More like a very high level professional musician that serves the music with his every touch. I can't get over how much JT adds to every song I hear him play on.

[@Johnbobon]

JT is using a metal snare rather than the wood I've seen most often. Both snares sound superb. He achieves the ideal sound for my ears. Outstanding.

[@becksipes4268]

I literally just blew out the right front speaker in my car jamming to this. I don’t even care. Such an amazingly beautiful piece of music. The low end is so heavy.

[@megajames3000]

Sheesh! one of my favorite songs by mark. Jason sounds great!

[@michaelanthony9068]

Wow. I don’t know anything about cymbals, but that is an amazing band.

[@benink5690]

They rock. This isn't even a very interesting performance of theirs. Much better stuff out there. The funk especially. Also check out Snarky Puppy.

[@victorkoval3783]

[@eltonester6531]

I did not deserve that intro

[@Johnbobon]

None of us do, brother. Much like the grace of God, let's receive it with thankful hearts, recognizingt the sacrifice made to provide it. Shalom, good sir. Shalom. 🙏

[@CliffGraham]

bouncy, dirty and intricate- ALL AT ONCE!

[@GabrielGuevaraDrums]

Thanks now I got snare obsession

[@mule659]

Yamaha Paul Leim model. Best snare I’ve ever owned.

[@pistolpete5325]

JT is an absolute badass

[@EVgenyOneThe]

[@aleksandrkurochkin5076]

😅

[@aleksandrkurochkin5076]

Кайф

[@KiraPlaysGuitar]

I love the push and pull, I swear they slow down a little and feel it more around 5:50 No backing tracks or clicks - right?

[@DRUMAWAYEMAN]

JT with that pocket!

[@TC-lk2ev]

Goddam that was good

[@amrelsheemy9857]

What is this unusual track, and what is this highly advanced engineering?

[@didndido3638]

[@adrien521]

What's the snare?

[@justhadrums]

[@JTonthedrums]

@@justhadrums Yep!

[@miked1888]

[@jayem1826]

My guitar has a Bubinga top

[@wxb200]

That Octave Bass at 3:50 is fat & juicy (phat & joosey)

[@mightmave]

did not know Andy Mineo played bass!

[@AlexandreOliveira-sy1bh]

Sharp ghost notes !

[@rezlets5017]

BRUH

[@danieltripainao4324]

Groove Class. And Mark Guitar play is so clingy

[@YaoEspirito]

I hate baseball caps.

[@TheJoecoool]

at min 8:00 the drummer lost !!! and he try to keep on like nothings happened 😉

[@pistolpete5325]

He didn’t lose the beat…..he was listening for the guitar and improvising…feeling it coming down a bit and held back then fell back in

[@TheFunkyKnucklesDallas]

Nah he didn’t lose nothing. That’s probably you 😂

[@JTonthedrums]

🤔🤣 1st off, it's a simple lick followed by a break on 1. We're on the grid, no one is "off". Off beat lick yes, but the pause I did on beat one was very intentional. It's a musical thing, a vibe thing, musical intent thing. We do it all the time. The "nothings happened" was exactly just that, "a musical pause". Mature your ears to what happens in an improvisational moment between musicians that trust and listen to each other. At times I have pushed the rhythmic envelope in the moment, but this wasn't one of them. Sorry. Nice try though😁

[@JTonthedrums]

A new comment brought me back here. I always wonder what happens to the “keyboard killers” when they say dumb stuff, get corrected, and then disappear. Where ya at Joe Cool🤷🏽‍♂️

[@Bruno-tz5xk]

Pros at work
