Marcus Gilmore: Excerpts of Nube

The phenomenal drummer Marcus Gilmore carries on the creative openness of his drum elders and underscores the drum set as a melodic instrument (augmented by a Sunhouse Sensory Percussion setup.)

[@makkrohero59]

He’s literally the best drummer I’ve ever heard. INSANE

[@dikbeats2720]

To say this is next high level drumming is a vast understatement.. This is truly awsome magic. Fair play, real deal here!

[@clumsiii]

it's like the fucking obelisk just landed. no comparison. i'm always in awe and this is prob 20th play through - i recommend repeat

[@CompanyMold]

So much control of time and space, I thought the stuff in the room was going to start floating around him. This is next level.

[@stevelangonedrumchannel272]

So clear precise and musical, flowing

[@dikbeats2720]

This is amazing.. He's making it almost sound like he's playing tabla's!

[@elwoodwhite9734]

[@lukmilperez7719]

Yessss

[@AlexMPruteanu]

Man, what an amazing solo....can someone break down those left hand "ruffs" for me? I can't replicate it on a pad, even. Is it even a traditional "ruff?" If anyone has any tips or ideas on how he can get that "ruff" sound from his left hand, please share.

[@jtimperio]

Just… wow.

[@allenpeter4155]

Can't Chill on this 🔥 4:00 here we go new phase

[@emmanuelgauthier2470]

OMG what an ostinato on HiHat !...

[@Ifyouonlyknewtruth]

Very musical

[@mattdrewdrums]

I suspect to see more and more drummers getting very creative with their sound, both in their setup and playing. This idea that your kit should be arranged in a certain way and you need a 14 in hi hat and you can't have 4 rides and etc etc etc. All of this will be disregarded. Look at a drummer like JD Beck. He has a very unique sound and setup. This drummer is similar. I also believe there are many more sounds that could be applied to a drumset. Look at the clapstack, for example. You can also expect to see more hybrid setups, as electronic drums keep improving.

[@mattdrewdrums]

@@user-nf7cr6wn6o I'm talking about modern drummers. Who the hell sounded like JD Beck in the 70s? The kid has his own sound. Which drummers are you talking about?

How?

[@stixplayer]

I hear Elvin.

[@aarontait6223]

How is this man's brain wired?! I wouldn't even know how to begin breaking it apart and labeling a lot of what he's doing.

[@Dsullivann]

The foot ostinato is 3+3+2 which he plays different variations of. He kind of goes back and forth between triplet and 16th note feel with his hands. His use of different timbres on the kit as well as the cross stick makes His rhythms harder to comprehend.
