[@brandon26500]

His pocket control of a song is out of this world

[@cobra1010]

One of the most talented and musically refined drummers of this era! Perfect match for Snarky Puppy! Incredible band! Wow! A group of masters!

[@brettorrmusic]

0:00 - 10:13 is my favourite.

[@banjomango145]

Correct

[@ezramancini1491]

I prefer 0:07 - 10:04 personally

[@playswithpassion]

That perfect transitioning from open-handed playing to crossed is so clean.

[@Odthean]

That stick twirl at 7:12. So cool, so effortless

[@ddrum1090]

3:38 scared the shit out of me haha

[@SabianTamaDrummer]

I love the way his ride bounces! >

[@Antiquatedlogic]

OMG... The start of that tune..wwwwwooooooo. I like when the drummer began nodding back and forth while playing. He was feeling it. Beautiful jam. thank you

[@nobldrums22]

I'm a huge fan!! Sput, youre an inspiration. Snarky Puppy Band, you guys are the most creative group of musicians ive ever seen!!

[@armystrong2727]

My dude ride cymbal is floating ya digg

[@MoobysnaxPercussion]

First time discovering this guy. Sweet Jesus he's amazing

[@Coin3103]

So tight, groovy and precise drumming !

[@MrMikePaso]

amazing, I think him and spanky are some of the best drummers of our generation

[@NinjaFlipsTV]

Effortless. Precision jamming right here.

[@kitkeatingdesign]

Effortless. Gotta hit those 16ths, though. WOW. WOW. Plus, Sput has Forte down pat. Wish we were there.

[@Felipeelmaraja]

Funk man!!! I am gonna practice open-handed drumming thank you for inspire me :)

[@caferrara]

Good luck. He's left handed.

[@danfeliciano570]

That ending gets me everytime.

[@aegar95]

these rythmics are out of control spitting fire!!

[@makstone]

You know the music game screwed up when Travis Barker gets millions of hits and has a fraction of the talent that this cat has.

[@spacejazz6272]

makstone don't be hating on other drummers man, Travis does Travis and Sput does Sput and theres no one who could do them better than they do themselves

[@BeardDuder]

This is great! I could watch him play all day!

[@Wardog01Actual]

Flawless Victory! FATALITY! Great job, everyone!

[@tomcordellmusic]

killing the pocket AND checking texts/swigging yuengling all at the same time

[@ienjoyagooddrum]

thought i saw a yuengling label, cant stand it when bands get pissed at me when i wanna drink a beer

[@skateordie666420]

Thomas Cordell yo tommmmmm - it's nolan. funky

[@Fsuholley]

Wow. I gotta spend more time practicing. Amazing feel and timing. Love Snarky Puppy.

[@Dizzeegaskell]

Fsuholley I know man. So clean but so expressive. only to spend another 20,000 hours to get about half as good as Sput.

[@douchebagme]

oh god i wish i could lock like that... i wish i could play like that

[@joelhills1689]

That looked like so much fun !!

[@kluis1063]

Groove runs in these veins. Legend

[@Dizzeegaskell]

That fill @8:50 is the sickest rhythm I've ever heard

[@Gauseltown]

Truly amazing ! Thank you !

[@tomanocucaralhoporra]

The Groove is strong with this one.

[@chun-weikang471]

the real question is: did he ever swallow that beer?!

[@Racerdew]

really impressive playing. great pocket

[@jeffyneedsanap]

On a whole different level.

[@kevingoren]

that scared the crap out of me haha

[@AlexanderFlood]

His playing is so damn tasty!

[@boogie_napps7880]

I know it felt good when that fan was blowing in his shirt 😂

[@trac6]

Awesome band.

[@joeproc1600]

Complete drummer hands down "uncle sput"

[@slmda4]

Never heard them but this drummer is fuckin rad. Very awesome stuff

[@brodieyake7735]

Does anyone know what he's using for sticks? This music is a sexy funk sundae that melts for ten minutes.

[@MrDiscordinated]

sput makes insane music sane x

[@AllInDrummer]

mind-blowing...

[@superamanda]

Sublime.

[@BlackenedNL]

BEAST!!!

[@albertomartin4215]

You are a boss!

[@atom16to]

There's a 10" Byzance Extra Dry Splash under there too.

[@Drumminsince89]

Number of ways, 1. the natural depth of the snare 2. a loose batter head 3. loose snare wires, means you get more shell sound. 4. D "All The Above"

[@ienjoyagooddrum]

boys good.. boys real good

[@eternallyminded7]

Sput! Just stop it already man!! Dude is out of control on dem drums!!!!

[@Mllsttm86]

That groove was stupid heavy

[@AquaAnim]

@malikgcapers i believe its a xhat so it would be 12" and 14"

[@satopsycho2152]

8:06 I died laughing

[@Popupdrumvideos]

Is this video sponsored by Meinl or Yuengling? At least I can transcribe that part...

[@rawtwhylahthadrummer6256]

6:20 lmao beer time!

[@chun-weikang471]

+colin mitchell I don't think he swallowed it.

[@ArmpitResidue]

too good

[@joshjamesuk]

That fill at 8:50 is so funky!

[@thevanillarapist]

im super jealous of those hi-hats DDDD:::

[@sandercools3605]

in some ways, this song seems like a pre- What About Me and Lingus mixed together... Some grooves and parts in the overall rhythm really made me think of those two other songs :)

[@Drumminsince89]

I can't figure it out either, it looks like it's on a stand, but it's constantly bouncing up and down..maybe it's drum sorcery

[@shonuff515]

Boss! 6:23 tho!!! Lol Dope!

[@andyham6094]

Cymbal description says 18 inch traditional thin crash but that’s def a vintage trash crash on the far right.

[@Drums4Life762]

lol love the shirt

[@558SD]

Gênio...

[@crystaleye3502]

tight!!!

[@TrickysBen]

4:43 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@pelhamonetwothree1239]

SPUD SMELLS LIKE FIRE

[@moonodude17]

GAH! You beat me to it XD

[@Rudare916]

How does he keep muting and Unmuting that snare on the right?

[@MatthewG111]

i believe it is a 20" Byzance Traditional Extra Thin Hammered Crash. correct me anybody if i'm wrong

[@bwils201987]

Yessirr

[@uraharamitchell7250]

That synth solo was disrespectful No one man should have all that sauce in a solo And obviously, synth killed the groove

[@jeremylamb2089]

Sput with short air looks like an old Donovan Mitchell, his playing is ridiculously amazing tho!

[@malikgcapers]

How big is that China cymbal by that hi-hat.

[@TheDrummerKick2]

Wow

[@KingdomOfGodAssembly12]

that guitar tho was delicious and I'm a drummer

[@filipdinevmusic]

THICK GROOVE!

[@bigrickstar]

Is it me or is his Ride cymbal "Floating"?

[@tywynable]

supremely subtle sizzzle

[@Mikebraz]

what's he mounting his ride cymbal on? it bounces

[@bgdrummer95]

that hi hat is sooooo sensitive and responsive ! 14" Dark ?

[@813RiC]

looks like a 16" to me

[@caelanhunter1710]

It's a 15" dark top over a 15" Traditional bottom

[@ItsLilJohn1]

List of cymbals or all gear in general?

[@justinthompson5282]

What stack is with the trash crash ?

[@Oghick]

How does he achieve that great fat sound on his right snare?

[@yinyangchef8903]

Busy busy man

[@moa3821]

what is the time signature

[@greycane]

what is the main crash?

[@202drummerboy]

i would make a crashburger from those cymbals and eat it |(

[@Odthean]

Yuengling!

[@prodark1359]

@6:15 "that girl gotta wait"

[@greycane]

is it a stack?

[@randomaxe7746]
