Right hand leads, left hand leads, open hand, cross over on hi hat, he does it all....stunning drummer

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

This is the most bonkers display of musicality I've ever seen. 11 out of 10

[@marksimmons7906]

Coming back here to say Kaz Rodriguez really knows how to write a backing track. He sets other drummers up for success with these. Really well done.

[@yourself88xbl]

The absolute perfect marriage of skill and musicality. Mind blowing.

[@chrischillbilly]

may I add creativity too or does that get redundant to what you said? :)

[@yourself88xbl]

@@chrischillbilly not enough can be said about the man tbh.

[@chrischillbilly]

@@yourself88xbl I agree 100% he's an awesome dude too. Definitely a master of masters. My favourite drummer. He's got it all... Well everything I appreciate in a drummer at least

[@ReubenLujan]

For some odd reason I was accepted into Booker T. Washington HSPVA as a junior in 1991 in the music cluster as a percussionist/drums. When I first heard Robert on drums I was blown away, pure musicanship. Then one day there was this new technology music showcase during 3rd or 4th period and Robert comes in with this amazing music he wrote that he was playing keyboards to. Mind. Blown. Dude was born to do this.

[@RobertSearight]

Rueben!!!!!!!! Hey man

[@ReubenLujan]

@@RobertSearight Hello good sir!! YOU'RE LIVING THE DREAM!!!

[@stixnfeet7818]

One of those pieces I get drawn back into periodically. Something real special about this arrangement and performance.

[@EIStudent]

This dude...tss...AND this fool can write ridiculously amazing music arrangements...he's a freaking genius!

[@kmoe1981]

insane...the timing is UNREAL. i can listen to this like everyday. This dude is extremely gifted. God bless

[@torpedoboy4]

Been a fan of Sput since he was a kid back in 1991 in the Dallas Gospel music scene. Dude NEVER disappoints

[@bryceoconnor3927]

This is just incredible... I've heard a ton of drummers, but his playing is so unique and musical!

[@thatdrummeroz654]

2022, I can't stop coming back to hear this!

[@jonwhite549]

As a drummer I love that he keeps it so musical

[@bosstrading928]

His ideas are incredible, and he pulls everything off so dam smoothly. What an amazing drummer.

[@ethanfrye31]

top 5 drummers of all time for me. dude broke his hand at one point and forced himself to play opposite of the orthodox way. thus the left hand lead. Was the best drummer Snarky Puppy has had to date. Just a great player. Dallas, Texas, stand up!

[@marksimmons7906]

Sput is absolutely fantastic. But I’ll take a little exception with this statement because Larnell is equally astounding. But that said they’re both exceptional.

[@georgerussell2947]

Larnell is up there tho

[@theAudioCowboy]

Dude.... He's left handed anyways

[@sridharashok7917]

@@marksimmons7906 Robert and Larnell are truly amazing drummers, but man you gotta listen to Marco Minnemann he is a bloody beast, probably better than these two

[@peytonsmith9390]

Rabbi Goldschlong exactly 😂

[@8020drummer]

wow with the ambidexterity

[@theAudioCowboy]

The 80/20 Drummer haha yeah he's a lefty that learned to play on a right handed kit. my brain still hurts watching him play though.

[@adamwhiting9611]

Simon phillips taught himself to play left handed just to fit another tom in, so it's doable!

[@narvul]

Simon Philips has nothing on him.

[@brandmeow9014]

Carter Beauford!!!!

[@anderszettergren4302]

Adam Whiting yes, interesting to see Sputs playing Simons part in Toto.

[@timdrake220]

I have discovered so many amazing drummers because of KZbin, this guy is no exception! What a beast!

[@marksimmons7906]

While I love Garstka and Coleman, Sput really “sells” the Meinl equipment the best in these series with how properly he utilizes them.

[@ninjabuck2576]

I couldn't agree more! I also think Navene Koperweis does an excellent job with the cymbals. Pulse of a New Era that he did for Meinl is excellent.

[@yourself88xbl]

Man what an absolute blessing to have all these guys to listen too though!

[@yourself88xbl]

Sput just shows there are levels to elite drummers and there may not be a level above him.

[@quantum_beeb]

And Kaz tracks haha

[@marksimmons7906]

@@quantum_beeb He did Go for Coleman too. He knows how to make a solid backing track, clearly he knows how to show love to his fellow technical drummers :)

[@ninjabuck2576]

YOOOOO. This is some excellent writing. The song AND Sput's drumming. Now...who wants to see Animals cover it?

[@marksimmons7906]

It’s sufficiently polyrhythmic enough for Matt’s liking.

[@snoopynasosu]

I think Kaz Rodriguez write it, anyway, they ,,sing “ it dofferently! I love both

[@kwinkzpower]

What the hell... this man is insane

[@cc-zn2ty]

This guy is seriously the most efficient drummer I’ve ever seen with one floor Tom damn this guy is pretty amazing his set is so tight perfect for recording sessions like this

[@Imhotep_DrummerJones]

🤔🤔 so has anyone else watched this video a bajillion times😪😪🤔🤔 this is absolutely 🔥 🔥🔥 the ending was SHEESH!

[@philykos]

Been coming back to it for a few weeks now!

[@DNixon845]

Rumor has it that cats like Roberts drumming. Just sayin. 🐈🤘

[@snoopynasosu]

Dick Nixon ahahahah, nice one. Rumor has it that cats want to play like Robert

[@mikeanglada742]

Only Cool Cats! \,,/ :D

[@jojothetasmaniansassmonkey8866]

i showed my cat and she was not impressed

[@normanwilmoth7404]

That 10 inch extra dry splash with the 10 inch trash slash should be one of his signature stacks. I love its dry trashy attack with a very short decay. Those typically make the best stacks especially for quick effects!

[@davidmarsalis1522]

I love the dude man . What a talented musician. Really enjoyed the sound of his kit and the cymbals sound awesome.

[@jabespascual517]

this is straight out of the matrix lol sput is beast. Talented man and inspiring musician!!!!

[@szender2021]

I think this is the best drumming i ever heard. Very inspiring.

[@masterdrummer4720]

This guy is one of my favorite drummer

[@jerryfangauer4647]

You are one of the best drummers in the world I love your style to play

[@nic-drums]

Track: 10/10 Drumming: 10/10 Cymbals: 10/10 What's not to like ?

[@andrewparson9832]

Does more with a snare, kick and floor tom than most drummers do with 6 or 8 piece kit

[@robertchambers369]

Perfect comment. Man you are absolutely right

[@mlc2944]

Not only that, believe he is a right handed player that can lead with his left hand like Simon Phillips or Cobham, not easy mastering. Also, the guy's a composer, keyboardist and director. He's fantastic!

[@pedrosmmc]

INDEED!!!!

[@normanwilmoth7404]

@@mlc2944 its because he's actually left hand dominate and trained himself to lead with the right for most of his playing but that's why he makes switching right to left lead seem so effortless is just because he's actually left handed😁 alot of people don't know that about him so you really got to praise him for learning too lead right most of the time and he even sets his kits up right handed but he can play opposite setups✌

[@justinrensel8518]

I'm thinking the floor tom is actually a bass drum

[@moonmerchant7148]

A cut above the rest. Thanks for blessing us with this Robert.

[@SimulatorGuy]

Easily the most talented drummer i have ever heard, simply creative with flow and diversity

[@atholbaker8290]

One of my favourite drummers! And Meinl cymbals are amazing!

[@TH-gu4wj]

I'd say the best part of this is between the beginning and the end. Sick playing and sounds.

[@Y_ruba_al]

one of the most musical drummer......hands down

[@williewhite7037]

It is amazing to me how you keep switching from playing left handed to right with some much ease, without missing a beat. Or maybe that's just something only I struggle with. You are extremely entertaining to watch.

[@OfTheTribeOfJudah]

The straighter his back, the better he hits the pocket 🤯

[@justamessenger86]

The level of creativity in the track and the way Sput covers it is other worldly!!! Pure talent from above!

[@towertito2149]

It's so nice to see another open style drummer like me. Lefts on righty kits. We're the truly special ones

[@DefkalionDs]

Fantastic musician, fantastic setup (orbinated

[@mammontustado9680]

You can tell that some of these fills are improvised. Tasty playing, as always, Sput!
