Tell your engineer to easy up on the snare gate. A lot of his beautiful ghost notes are being lost.

[@StachelyPigglyBottom]

This!

[@georgekelp]

So much being lost in the mix. Cymbals have virtually no sustain too.

[@markwilliam6745]

could you explain what snare gate means?

[@YouthDrummer]

Imagine a gate but the security guard only lets in the strokes that are above a set volume

[@pinkponyofprey1965]

It's an electronic sound processor that only lets sounds through it when the signal strength of the sound is above a certain level. Think of com radio and the way they chop off the noise when you don't talk. In a studio the gate is of much higher quality and used more subtle. It's used to separate the close miced drums from each other so in the snare drum you only hear the snare and not the hihat and kick for example. Gates are not perfect and they have their pros and cons but sometimes they work. It's easy to go overboard with an chop off more than you intend and it can sound a little sterile and unnatural. You normally compensate with overhead mics and room mics as a base and then use the gated drums for individual adjustments of the kits parts.

[@tiekoe]

Finesse, speed, technique, musicality. The full package!

[@Felipejau]

and hard hitting! Perfect.

[@catyourdog1098]

Love the snare sound

[@ArchieBC]

His playing speaks for itself, but I have to say I LOVE his cymbal setup.

[@Lukas-kh5gu]

feels really original and fresh to me. didn't expect it. love it.

[@gdnyngfx]

Thanks VIC!

[@ARDrummer]

Very cool use of those bells! Very creative drummer

[@BryFerDrums]

What a beast!... Awesome drummer

[@damiankulec1195]

Amazing ! Great composition, and really impressive drumming ! Chapeau Bas ! Thanks for that :)

[@iam_geyed]

I’m not a fan or zildjan, dw, or Vic Firth.... BUT immediately when I heard this I was like, WOW! It’s been a long time since I’ve heard a drummer with this this much taste. Not even talking about playing style, but the whole package... his choice of drum tones, cymbal selection, the way they were placed, textures, the whole nine! Theres such harmony in this kit, it ain’t funny. This was just music to my ears - in more ways than one. Dope Video! 🤘🏾🤘🏾

[@stevenkorenek389]

absolutely beautiful playing! And this song is incredible...

[@drummingnuts]

The playing here is fantastic!! Great touch, great dynamics and outstanding time!!!

[@brianmendelsohn2789]

Piano and drums. You sir are a phenom.. brilliant

[@smilinmikeusa]

Truly Amazing!

[@HouseJawn]

This is some wild fusion

[@HouseJawn]

Very Mahuvishnu

[@braedonavants]

[@XIMERAg]

Bravo !!!

[@frankmeenzen787]

There is the blanket in the sound that kills treble and transparency!

[@luislanda-schreitt2631]

Great drumming and great tune!

[@sergiovillarreal0420]

Phenomenal Performance.

[@japaobatera4476]

q sonzera pegada de batera show.👌👍✌🇧🇷

[@GorcStew]

Amazing Matt Garska-esque ghost notes on the snare....but we do not hear em....nice job sound engineer!

[@Ben-ji1se]

Did you listen to it with headphones as suggested?

[@benyobaranyi6731]

Please, do not overgate that snare!

[@drewb5775]

someone fix the hat stand

[@drummaman1]

the legs are fixed to the left side of the stand.

[@EricLee-nr5jp]

I had that stand for a while. This is why I sold it.

[@andyham6094]

Eric Lee same here. Had this exact dw hi hat stand and it did the same no matter what I did with the legs and cause I like it tilted towards me. Sold it for the new TAMA Iron Cobra Lever glide hi hat stand which has a special tilt feature and is sturdy as a brick wall. Never moves or wobbles at all on me. Ive learned that TAMA Drums and hardware and innovations is far superior to every other brand for me personally and also at a better price than dw products

[@ijgriffin22596]

Yo this drum set is killin. Might have to go with DW now

[@KugiPanchi]

I need to know about these cymbals :)

[@KEVDRUMMER]

DAT SNARE.

[@markehrmann9557]

Tell me your cymbals you stacked on the right side, man - that pair is nice! On top a Zildjian K EFX 18" - isn't it? On Button? Thanx!

[@gdnyngfx]

18" EFX K + 18 K Dark crash

[@kevinschiler]

Geil

[@Lukas-kh5gu]

yes, it's overgated and the ghosts are almost only guessable, but boy does it sound amazing. I am wearing nice Beyerdynamic open headphones and am smiling in front the screen like an idiot throughout.

[@Nelsonic92]

Quem são os doidos que deram desgostei?!

[@john5619]

Lot's of negative comments.......I bet most would love to play as good as he does?????? everyone has their own way to express themselves on the kit, not one is the same......enjoy it, this guy is killer and that's why his video is here.....

[@drumdover]

boomer stickman The negative comments are mainly about the mix, I believe. Nothing against the drummer, he's extremely talented.

[@king-manu2758]

The mix is not acceptable , a shame because it's good playing there.

[@Lukas-kh5gu]

might be overgated, yet can't stop listening to it through my beyerdynamic headphones. can't stop smiling like an idiot in front my screen.

[@almostskater3210]

Are you a shill for beyerdynamic or something?

[@caiocesar6855]

[@PumaSpeedster]

[@Lchavez-qi1vv]

PumaSpeedster good one 👍

[@artcolldrum]

no more traditional grip?

[@EricLee-nr5jp]

No more Sonor either...

[@facundobaez2713]

terrible lo que toca este tipo...

[@Guigeek4Q4]

Awesome hi-hat sound, but a lack of snare

[@jonathanhaley9967]

as someone else pointed out there are a lot of ghost notes yet most are inaudible probably due to poor mixing

[@Guigeek4Q4]

Jonathan Haley yep, that's what I wanted to say but my english isn't so good :)

[@jonathanhaley9967]

:)

[@lul_9451]

Fire the sound engineer. Amazing drummer, music and playing, it's just a shame the mix is garbage.

[@tryharder249]

Disgraça!

[@santiagoarias50]

RIP ghost notes. Shame on mixing work.

[@thghtfl]

Not really musically

[@stefangriffin3113]

Игорь Бадибилдер Are you kidding me? This is incredibly musical
