[@borgesguerardi]

you're literally the only choppy drummer i can stand and totally adore

[@paulusch1111]

Me too !

[@borgesguerardi]

@@chrisstoltz3648 he's not a show off at all and i deeply appreciate it

[@ImAnBoosterBaby]

How do you feel about the Snarky Puppy cast? Especially JT feels a lot less "choppy" to me.

[@ThommyofThenn]

hey guys I looked it up and found nothing relevant. What is a choppy drummer? I assume one who plays a lot of weird time signatures with a highly syncopated sound

[@The.One.True.B]

@@borgesguerardihe’s great but also a show off lol my guys loves to overplay, which I dig especially solo but in a band that would be really looked down on as it steps all over what everyone else could be doing

I’m a metal drummer, but I’ve been following your channel quite a while. I must say your groove is immaculate and those ghost notes are delicate.

Jazz is everything 🤙🏻

[@Nowhy]

@@space78511 no, just a third of a half...

[@jalen2467]

I highly recommend taking a couple lessons with a jazz drummer. It totally changes the game in metal drumming unless you're deathcore oriented

[@forrestoellermann9462]

bro if your into jazz and metal you should check out sean reinart

[@Nowhy]

@@jalen2467 hmm.. something worth considering...

[@pokicat5001]

the amount of feel you put into the kit is perfect

[@joshsinclair7548]

You are hands down one of the most creative drummers I’ve ever heard. This was killer.

Check out the drummer from Mouse On The Keys.

Got totally lost in my head listening to this. You sent me to another dimension man your talent is insane. Greatest ghost note skill out of any drummer I've ever head

[@SuperNintendoChalmers1]

Always well composed. Keep up the amazing jams!

[@mej960]

zack, you probably won't see this but I love your drumming so much man. As a young drummer that kinda sucks at playing jazz drums you're very inspiring. Your drumming always gives me the chills. It's always just so GROOVY

[@carlkolthoff5402]

Lovely drumming and sound! Makes me want to spend the rest of the year studying jazz grooves.

[@mumblingfez5841]

i love the nardis sample, keep it up zack

[@doofs]

aye! nardis! gotta be one of my all time fave classics i adore that weird pitch bend and bitcrush that's so juicy

[@erikbarrett85]

I saw someone else say it so I will also chime in with it. This really is like the only what I would consider chops drummer that I like. I have such little interest in chops I'm surprised dude even came across my algorithm. I should say I like chops, of course, just now Chops™. I also like that he makes regular drummer faces and doesn't do that obnoxious smile performance that apparently everybody on Instagram and KZbin shorts thinks they have to do these days

Hey Zach! Awesome as usual. Agree, this ride is hot 🥰 When it comes the time to pick a cymbal up, how do you make sure it will sound great? Testing it in a shop is different vs hearing it through a mic and what matters is the result through the mic. Curious to hear your experience there. Cheers

one ride is enough for anybody, unless you are the king of england, then you get to choose.
