Meinl Cymbals - Richard Spaven - "Nova"

[@scottbarker1337]

Not gonna lie, this is probably one of the tastiest beats ever to alight my eardrums. 10/10 for just absolute style mastery. I don't think I've ever been disappointed by a Richard Spaven video!

[@deedrumma1]

Man, I’m not a cinema expert but this being filmed all in one continuous shot is badass on top of already being a great tune. Seems like art through and through!

[@planetwinnebago4304]

This dude is a MASTER of timing. I've never heard more precise chill playing in my life.

[@vincentboersma9227]

Just when I thought the beat couldn't get any dirtier. Spaven redefines being late. I'm not cleaning it up tho no no. Love it!!

[@jonblizaze]

Can’t get enough of this song, Bruh! Thank you, Mr. Shaven.

[@pav5355]

man this song is unreal. experimental but completely accessible. the way the harmony moves around in the verse and then goes somewhere else completely in the chorus. especially love the sequences that jump out around @3:39. truly masterful, pleasure to listen to, wow im gushing

[@chaisaray]

He never lets us down! Also, that Spaven x Rakei combo is always insane!

[@ZimuSA08]

Always 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@artemcultura6191]

I've already commented. I'm back. Can't get enough. The way Rich airs out the groove just feels soo good. Every track he spits out changes how I want to approach feel.

[@McClain3000]

I'm obsessed with this track.

[@srlongstaff]

Im not a drummer, I'm a bass player. The temptation to play on the beat must be insane. that's some meditative stuff going on. Absolutely beautiful x

[@vectorkade]

0:07 it's only been 7 seconds and already so immaculate. He is truly a master

[@Chris120793]

This redefines laid back groove on a whole another level, and i am glad to be a witness

[@fleur_music]

Sounds so good, can't wait for the album !

[@TwN-vv4mi]

Man, I am in awe with the groove. No other words.

[@SaintMont]

It's always interesting watch and heard how Richard makes and fill music with a minimal drum set and less strokes. So tasty !!!

[@samuelraoul6401]

Holy sheet that groove !! 🤯

[@claus.f4856]

Pura musicalidade👏👏👏👏Parabéns Spaven👍👍🔰🔰 Deus te abençoe sempre🙌🙏

[@aldochen5650]

Super musician just love it thank you 🙏

[@KillaBeeBeatbox]

Almost cried during this. One of the classiest acts I have ever heard. That groove swing.. oh my...

[@JohnWade06]

Richard Spaven - Drums Stuart McCallum - Guitar Jordan Rakei - Vocals What an amazing line-up

[@thegerried]

This is something else. This is the new thing with that groove. This goes immediately to my fav playlist can’t wait to hear more.

[@MoeZwo]

I love this tune. And this super creative approach. So tasteful

[@BurrenSHdrums]

This tune is absolutely madness Holy sheet

[@schlagzeugvideocoach]

What a great video (and great cymbals as always 👌🏼). Richard is phanomenal drummer. His touch on the instrument and unique way of creating new ideas and music is outstanding and highly inspiring. Thanks Meinl for sharing! All the best and keep on drumming!

[@PeeDeeJay]

Beautiful playing.

[@mellowtron214]

Good Gaia this is good. I’m gonna have to learn this one. The sorta tempo modulating early on is something me and my friends used to play, and just never could nail it cleanly, but this dude nukes it from orbit. So smooth and thoughtful. Definitely one of a handful of drummers out there whose elevating drumming up to the level of art.

[@wibblewabblewoo6249]

Spaven gig last night at jazz cafe Camden was just wow 🤯

[@dovcer]

Hats off dude amazing (jordan killer too as always) Respectt to evryone involved

[@chrisfranklin4061]

Wow. Amazing as usual! Such great placement. And of course Meinl's stellar production. As a side, I'd kill to see a Spaven-Mayer collab!

[@__julio__]

Man, I'm blown away, this is too good

[@trismurray]

So refreshing, beautiful as always. No predictable linear chops RLKKRLKKRRR etc. Any other drummers bored of all that?

[@caytra3940]

The whole vibe is elite

[@TheStudioDrummer]

Consistently one of my favorite Modern Drummers. Dig it!

[@jamesdortch7314]

Yes awesome

[@haystixxbeats9225]

This is all shades of amazing!

[@planetwinnebago4304]

plus this is a GREAT song.

[@bransonliimo9601]

Too damn beautiful. Jeez!

[@thatdrummeroz654]

Amazing sense of rhythm!

[@ayosalawu4755]

Richard is just some other level shit

[@danielkornuta4965]

Love him!

[@Imaddrums]

Needed this today! Glad to see spaven back at it!

[@melissabalduzzi328]

hi, sorry for bother u, but can u bring me the lyrics of this song?

[@francescolongo1664]

Richard 🔥🖤

[@tomnield3324]

Love this!

[@최은석-u5q]

Respect

[@adamalexanderray]

Sounds great. Most non-musicians will probably not enjoy the uncomfortable feel of this 😂

[@bransonliimo9601]

Yeah, the pauses will get many but it's so imperfectly perfect haha

[@johndoeusa65]

Can you explain for non-musician what's wrong with this song, technically? Cz I don't find it weird, just sounds sort of busy and chaotic which I really like

[@adamalexanderray]

@@johndoeusa65 absolutely nothing wrong with it technically. It doesn’t have a straight ahead feel or groove which is why most people may feel it doesn’t flow easily. It still is very laid back and I wouldn’t call it chaotic. If you want to listen to slightly more chaotic music try and sit through the whole of this song kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmTXqqSij9NkpdE

[@johndoeusa65]

@@adamalexanderray Naw, that's just straight up screaming. I think a prime example of chaotic to me would be Ascension by John Coltrane

[@adamalexanderray]

@@johndoeusa65 yes, we have very different interpretations of chaotic. I would argue even the most chaotic jazz probably would still be palatable to most listeners, they just wouldn’t enjoy it much, however the most chaotic mathcore/hardcore would not be palatable for most listeners.

[@최고강경환]

진짜 좋네요.. 미쳤따

[@presvis20]

Ο ΚΑΛΥΤΕΡΟς

[@tomation1984]

Amazing stuff! Anybody know where I can find a drumless track to this?

[@JoeMuntal]

Yeah cymbals sound cool and Spaven is amazing as usual, but what about that snare?!! That body! Anyone know what that drum is? Yamaha Rec custom?

[@masterwill4577]

The kit is an absolute hybrid maple which he normally uses, but I think you're right, recording custom brass?

[@Eren__Zana]

!!🔥

[@jebuliable]

Any chance to find/purchase this as an isolated drum track for sampling purposes? Great potential!

[@MidvaliTHF]

Wtf is happening? What am I hearing...why is it the theme song to all things legendary

[@tldw8354]

[@rafazeppelin]

Is it 4/4??

[@rafazeppelin]

It seem that it has one more 16th note on 4th bar.

[@finnhughes3892]

It's in 4/4 but he starts the groove a 32nd note (I think) late so it sounds delayed.

[@joshuamusic8558]

@@finnhughes3892 yup!! Good ear. 4/4/ but starts with a 32nd rest and then straightens out on the and of 1.

[@mathewraycarey]

@@joshuamusic8558 spaven says 32nd note rest or delay , but to me it seems like a 16th note . may depend on how it's counted/ written.

[@joshuamusic8558]

@@mathewraycarey yes exactly could be either depending on how you count it. If you count snare on 2 and 4 then it's a 32nd note rest. If you count it where snare is on beat 3 of each measure (twice as fast) then it would be a 16th note rest!

[@InYourDreams-Andia]

Almost nothing going on in the backing track, meanwhile drums are a world of their own. 💎🤘

[@artemcultura6191]

Sooooo gooooooddfdhrhrhr

[@SoenkeBrockmann]

man. this kinda prog tastes a bit different.

[@ZimuSA08]

😭😭😭😭😭😭 what

[@raycavazos8927]

Sooo much cooler than stuff lile Danny Carreys tired old (repetative in same time sigs) odd time stuff. He is good don't get me wrong, but this guy is way better and more creqtive and tasteful

[@cocoblizzard]

I have been musicaly abused

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Now what does the original version sound like? 😂 ...😵‍💫

[@__julio__]

Richard is the original version.

[@ElBoyoElectronico]

Usually really like his playing, but definitely not feeling this one. Man, that repeated break at the end of the phrase is really annoying (to my ears!).

[@rafazeppelin]

I think that this unease is intentional.

[@rafazeppelin]

But I understand that you didn't like.

[@ElBoyoElectronico]

@@rafazeppelin When he played it for the first time, I actually thought „cool displacement“, and when he repeated it for the first time, I also thought „ok, maybe he is leading us into another part“, but after that is was like „I hate how it keeps interrupting the flow“
