Morgan Simpson - Young Drummer Of The Year Winner 2014

[@hiphopriffs7775]

This guy should really form a math/prog/post punk rock band with the guitarrist from ZEDRAY2011. They'd be huge.

[@jadeneamens6860]

that would be just crazy

"I love improv, play in a family band, rnb, gospel..." a few years later, he's playing the mercury price awards show with an insane rambling frontman and his guitarist doing frontflips while making mathrock/noise :D I wonder what his family thinks.

Now potentially one of the strongest young drummers in rock. Latest black midi album is gonna be a killer

[@leahliddle324]

Simpson's fucking sick but since I saw him live it's really hitting me that he's a kind of sick we haven't had in a while. He's super techy as hell but he's not... "fidgety", I guess the term would be? Like his grooves aren't super rudiment based, he keeps it pretty locked down to quarter/eighth notes and backbeats, and the technicality comes in in the way he slams through the time signature changes and in how crazy the flourishes are. It's the kind of old school cathartic virtuosity that I more associate with guys like Bonham or Moon than other prog drummers, and it's really cool to see.

[@darthcreepio]

Just discovered his band about a month ago, and he blew me away

[@johnathom-v3y]

i used to watch his covers on youtube all the time and i got into black midi about a year ago and had no idea it was the same guy

[@josephmorales652]

I mean like black midi a lot... how did they land this drummer tho? He is such a bad ass

[@Baman8787]

Black midi expirements with different time signatures outside of 4/4. Drummers love these type of bands because they are more of a driving force in the music rather than just adding a simple groove and then a fill there and a fill there, etc. They’re aren’t as many boundaries so they are able to be more creative. I assume that’s why

[@Mandibularmenace]

He met the lead vocalist and guitarist through jamming and ended up joining the band.
