he was wearing a shirt that says “this guy loves cats” in his last video lmfao

Sput is so good, it's downright stupid. Such an avant garde approach to the drums, and it's hardly his only area of expertise. He understands music as a whole, on top of shedding on a level that would satisfy the most die hard drum nerds. Life isn't fair; some people get an edge on their game and Sput is one of em.

[@pierreg8562]

i don't know if life isn't fair, he's definitely in my top 5 drummers, and he definitely has an incredible talent but also probably has worked his ass off and practiced crazy! so to me it's hard work + talent = top notch musician

[@revelationlimijaya3832]

Agree

[@MusaTariq25]

The fluidity of his playing is astonishing

[@chessward4832]

Musa Tariq Took the words right out of my mouth.

[@CDW027]

Very musical😁 definitely one that has his own identity!!! GOAT!!! Robert Searight!

[@boarhead5573]

As the music met Sput they shook hands, laughed and walked along forever and ever as good friends.

[@believeinjesuschristourlor1786]

so many different drummers they are all great 💯

[@mattsterne9034]

Interesting that he hits the hihat and snare without crossing his arms over. Very original and having noticed it I admire him even more.

[@wertwert2000]

Or he's a lefty

[@mattsterne9034]

@@wertwert2000 Interesting, never heard of that. Also my surname is Sterne!

[@victorreid4106]

Kooky Yea he does that a lot with Snarky Puppy

[@danielmesa2102]

It is called Open-Handed Drumming. It has a long history since the 60's and 70's. Look at drummers like Billy Cobham, Lenny White, Simon Phillips, Gary Husband, or even Carter Beauford, Danny Carey, etc.

[@mezmorizedauto1]

All i got to say is... Beast!!, well more than 1 word... Astounding!! Mind blowing stack!! Fantastic!! REAL TALK...God has blessed him with a phenomenal talent!!!!!

[@dmsdrumcovers9506]

Love the forward motion and energy. Grooving' man!

[@alastairs3727]

Yess! Love Sput ! More more more - accuracy of a ninja, feel of a starfish

[@FanaticDrummer]

Of all the recent drummers Meinl has showcased. This guy is the only one who plays musical and follows a groove foundation. Despite the technical ability, the intro was pretty damn impressive because he was still following the note structure and melody. Not just aimlessly throwing fills everywhere like gospel drummers do. He still kept a groove with nice progressive sounding embellishments. Most of the new era drummers bore me with their shredding. But when its musical, it makes SUCH a difference. He showcased his musicianship, not ego or ability. Some guys try way too hard to add flare and complicated patterns which dont fit the music. But I didnt see much I disagreed with here. Really good tasteful writing for the parts and feel.

[@AnirudhSundaresh]

Didn't I see you in the Tommy Igoe Drumeo video?

[@jamesfranklin7450]

This is what we appredectress drummer's do depending on the music pearl the best reason why we play drums 💪🥁

You had me at 'Sput', but "Cat Lovers" sealed the deal.

[@chessward4832]

You, Sir, have more talent in your discarded toenail clippings...than Ringo Starr has in his entire body. Pure joy to listen to. Many thanks! 🙏🏻

Sput is just a boss. Wish I could just see how his groove would blend with gospel genre.

Delicious to listen to, but hard to watch - whoever does the video here ought to check their black point.
