[@HenryPerez_royal_hp]

[@chrisbryant3996]

Same! Great sounding drums, tight drumming. Can't stop watching it!

[@djchemical]

same ... just found my comment from 11 years ago lol

[@stromghouls]

this is a fantastic promo of yamaha and ralf showcasing both the incredible sound of yamaha drums and the amazing drumming abilities of ralf. these drums sound incredible.

[@MrToonfish]

Music is universal ! Complex rythmns and excellent technique with the groove in mind... Just listen and relax, this guy is talking english for the rest of the world for whom english is not our main language and I appreciate that as well as his drum technique. Cheers.

[@BloodAndThunder00]

What a great drummer. You can see just by watching him play the feel he puts into every stroke. Fantastic drums as always with Yamaha.

[@Jaccobymaplesurup]

very nice and driving style. this is an example of using a big set in a mature and musical way.

[@MrDrumHorst]

this is so impressive! awesome sound, creative ideas and a fantastic style. love it!

[@spiralaeon]

Für mich einer der besten Drummer Weltweit.

[@PodmornicaFTW]

That hihat lick he uses inthe first song is funktastic! must buy his dvd!

[@paulcussion12]

Genau so ist es! Er ist einfach genial! Wie er spricht ist mir total egal, seine Grooves sind der Hammer!

[@pumpdumpster]

Amazingly good drumming. 🎉

[@bamfreak249]

woooooowwwww i love the sound of this set

[@broke123]

this guy has some serious chops. he's awesome, great player. makes the kit sound great. and there's nothing wrong with his english he speaks a 2nd language better than some people speak one.

[@djchemical]

absolutely brilliant!

[@Junkyjoe999no]

[@drum789]

[@gauchauchi]

Nice performance.

[@drum789]

does drums sound and are amazing !!!!!!!!!

[@loho174]

nice popcorn snare!steel..his main snare is his yamaha signature snare..birch,13x6.5,black rims!super nice..though i'm a vintage wood hoop rim person.13x6.5-great configuration,birch-great grain.

[@pyong2x]

the best brand for drums!!!

[@Mulaa777]

ralf gustke, incredible drummer!!

[@musiqsoundsproductions]

The side snare is the 12x5,5 steel model.

[@spongebens]

everything is freakin awesome. three thumbs up!

[@hawkcwg]

this is fantastic

[@FUNERALBIZARRE]

excellent!

[@neelshiv]

Quality over quantity. It sounds great.

[@lekkernatalie]

the main snare in this video is his signature model.

[@jakiromanu123]

Nice, he really lets the kit talk back to him

[@XDrummerSteve]

Wow. I just discovered this guy who has a short video on the "Just Drums" website in the Meinl "classics" section. He freakin' blew me away!! This guy is as technically sound as anyone out there. Anyone know what kind of mics these are on the toms? I really like the low profile...shoot me a reply.

[@DrumsMan99]

great drumming

[@SabianAxis]

Amazing!

[@Khironification]

HOLY CRAP FRED ARMISEN PLAYS THE DRUMS REALLY FREAKING WELL!

[@phasA100]

amazing...

[@drumevolution]

Er grooved einfach echt hammermäßig und es rollt echt gut, wenn er übers set spielt!!! love the song meine stadt by söhne mannheims because of the rhythms and grooves!! check it out!!

[@teamsleepnine]

the tom sound is sweet

[@derekchamberlin]

insane!

[@vegan.yogi.drummer]

He's a groove machine!

[@Trommealvar]

Does anyone if it's possible to get this song? I love these playbacks...

[@DuayneSanford]

what snare is being used on the side? I love the sound of it

[@Torrok]

it is nothing wrong with his english, its excellent, if you dont understand what he is saying maybe its you that have bad english.

[@philippruckert8221]

Great!!! I think I know this kit from somewhere... :-D

[@GZuraman]

He is great!!! ... Why gretsch instead of yamaha? Tell me. What makes Gretsch better?

[@MrMagicSymphony]

this guy is also member of SCHILLER..great ambient live group

[@Vingt100yip]

what a sick side snare! if only the 40th anniversary Phoenix snare is not as limited....

[@hawkcwg]

6:06 robot wow.

[@bretkill]

Seriously guys, there is no "better" sounding kit. It depends on what sound you're after. Yes, this 40th Anniversary kit sounds awesome. Yes, the Pearl Reference sounds awesome. And yes, the Tama Warlord kit sounds awesome. However, what if I want a more vintage maple sounding kit? I'm not gonna go with any of those.

[@Ted_Swayinghill]

I dunno have you seen the PHX series? Talk about B-E-Autiful!!!

[@ozzaman]

what is that second snare he's using? i want one!!

[@iamcraiger]

8:45 on...sweet groove

[@masterbeat04]

@jorkamus no...i just love his accent...:D

[@BloodAndThunder00]

It looks to be a Meinl Byzance. Not sure on the size of it though.

[@fway826]

ralf is the greatest drummer alive

[@VideoRepeater]

Good job ralf ! Btw Whats the price off this amazing drumkit

[@GG-sb8iv]

7999.00 US

[@jupi90]

does anyone know what ride cymbal he uses?

[@Iliketomtom]

did anyone knows where i can get palyalongs like that online?!

[@SaludaUser]

you can only take so much away from this sense in a studio you can make drums sound as good or as bad as you want.

[@tunggf]

Yeah. He is one member of Schiller.

[@RedeyePerc]

All these Yamaha demo guys are insanely good players, but...do native English speakers exist in Yammyland?

[@iamrubens]

Name of the song? Is it a loop from Yamaha?

[@nicoghini]

@aznc0ffe388: And not only this, i think that Gustke is a fuckin' God.

[@iamrubens]

Name of the song pliz

[@loho174]

this is really great,though i'd loved to have a section of the vid with just the drums playing,no music!anyway this guy is awsome,like some kinda european akira jimbo!

[@marcdedouvan]

Great work! Pop Music at his best I think. A drum teacher from France.

[@judsonchristudas]

You are a music teacher and you call this Pop Music?

[@SylarTheBest]

0:06 "HI, DOCTOR NICK!"

[@iamrubens]

Eduard Jil

[@aznc0ffe388]

this guy is a fucking boss

[@kunstprodukt]

hoffentlich spricht er deutsch auf der dvd

[@master1sa]

Love his "german English" xDDD i am german too, so i i have to laugh abput that:D but what an amazing drummer and what an amazing set

[@master1sa]

the only thing i do not like so much is the bassdrum, for me that fat punch sound is missing^^ but the rest is awesome,especially the side snare

[@PedroDVC]

I sure that I'll never play any other brand besides Yamaha!

[@fallloftroy]

He is insane. A lot of his teachings were self taught.

[@puperbratwurst]

His drumming is actually much more better than his english skills:D

[@inosdelaquaia]

U right and i just know it can sound much better then this but i guess they just have chosen for this sound.

[@Damok_Mike]

mit abstand ein sehr guter schlagzeuger. echt respekt vor ihm. er ist reich an rechnik! dennoch find ich george kollias und co immer noch ein wenig besser ^^ da ich mehr auf geschwindigkeit schau

[@infravision4]

Hey Lionel Messi on drums..!!!

[@bretkill]

Meinl Byzance.

[@bassmajor]

Sehr schön abgelesener Text :'D Trotzdem ein super Drummer!

[@generatrix999]

the best brand for drums!!!-- I'll agree, but Gretsch sounds better.

[@FireBlazer57]

Tom Delonge!?!

[@Sockelfreund]

Was sein English angeht, hat er ja im Grunde sauber gesprochen, aber dadurch, dass ers sonst kaum kann und da wahrscheinlich nur einen eingeprägten Text sprechen musste, hört es sich auch akzentbedingt so hackelig an. Jedenfalls ändert das nichts an seiner Genialität am Set.

[@RyanONealVitalis]

i'm just curios why he speaks so slow..

[@whiteboyedmund]

its more...handmade. the gretsch only has 6 people working on drums.

[@SirCalvingunner]

He is reading a script, buddy. Get with the program, man!

[@hawkcwg]

this guy reminds me of Logans run haah

[@generatrix999]

I surprised. Yamaha could have done better with this vid. 10 mins of playing, with most of it being done on cymbals and snare. This is more a promo for Ralf than it is for the drums themselves.

[@iMegaLolz]

nothing is wrong with his english..=='

[@loho174]

this is like a meinl vid...haha promoting meinl as much as yamaha.

[@lengman2112]

play the toms more ffs

[@RopeR171]

echt saugeil,aber sein englisch is echt beschissn :D
