Venetian Snares - Gentleman / Live Drums

[@praetor47]

just wanted to say that in 2020 this is still one of the coolest drumming videos on youtube

[@rafaelcalamba]

Still is in 2021

[@yimnerr]

absoluteley

[@marcel1372]

itz 2022 mann still the best

[@Xerin]

It’s 2024 do still agree

[@krisbennett8456]

In 2022 I'd have to say I agree.

[@vinnikiniki]

For a performance of this kind of calibre you have been awarded 2 internets

[@pjousma]

+2 internets and a get out of hate free card.

[@beepbeep2045]

I love how he leaves room for the drum machine to add to the track. He doesn't overwhelm the song, just compliments it. Perfect.

[@beepbeep2045]

That fucking ride technique too, god damn...

[@miltonlivess]

Still one of my favourite videos on KZbin. I was amazed 13 years ago when I first saw it, and am still blown away today.

[@Ledamit]

You have to know this song inside out and back to front to produce a drum cover as tight as this.. and that is not easy for anything written by Aaron Funk. Mad props to you sir!

[@mixedmeteor]

Just wanted to say that in MMXXIII this is still one of the coolest drumming videos on youtube

[@skipelen]

Just say 2023 damn

[@JohnDickson-ki3qr]

Must have seen the hundreds of tumes and i still end up rewatching the last third a few times whenever i come back to this video. Wish he'd carried on making youtube videos.

[@Allplussomeminus]

I keep coming back to this. I love it. There's no predictable pattern. It's one continuous recognizable jam but seemingly all over the place.

[@williamjohnson2590]

it's in 7/4. just count to seven over and over and over in time with the beat. aaron funk lives in that time signature though so it works. check out unsquare dance by dave brubeck if you need an intro to 7/4

[@Allplussomeminus]

@@williamjohnson2590 7/4 is my favorite time sig. The jam is so chaotic that I couldn't pinpoint it.

[@raitisvein]

The "pattern irrecognizability" is just good composition, like in all music.

[@RedDye-xm1ss]

Can confirm that it is the end of 2023 and I still come back to watch this video. Just amazing.

[@mootbooxle]

Incredible performance, excellent drum and cymbal sounds too! I like the sound of your ride a lot. I can't imagine having to listen to this record enough times to learn this! I can only take so much breakcore / drill / whatever at a time, but I do very much appreciate it on a technical level.

[@sorenrousseau]

I am SOOO glad your insane drum skill randomly popped back in my mind like 10 years later. Such a treasure I never want to forget!

[@angelwhite6111]

Just wanted to say that in 2023 this is still one of the coolest drumming videos on youtube

[@FARID1870]

This is timeless. Im coming back to watch this in 2041

[@Nursesaids]

This guy has never left my mind. Hope he's doing good.

[@EnCrypticon23x]

Dude... How you remembered the insanity of this song is beyond me... If I could give you 10 stars I would... This is truly amazing!

[@AudioPervert1]

His right hand on the ride, is so fast and clean, that even 25 frames per second cannot capture it ... Bang Jungle !! Top Class Drums !!

[@Deetronic]

OMG! drummer has amazing skill! great!

[@MFDOOOOM]

Indeed

[@familyflamerich4541]

I agree with you but why does this sound sarcastic

[@NikolaTomic]

@@familyflamerich4541 Wow! Video from 14 y ago and my comment is 12 y ago :D

[@Namuhni]

still one of the most impressive drum performances on youtube

[@mr12000dotexe]

I've watched this so many times since Detrimentalist came out. Venetian Snares has been one of my favorites for years, and this is probably the best drum cover of his that I've seen on KZbin. Kudos to you, my man.

[@zoebateman7301]

Mike is phenomenal, not just at drumming but also teaching. Best teacher I've ever witnessed. If you are lucky enough to live in the area I can highly recommend!!

[@blackbook668]

Such skill and precision and comlexity. How can someone with a decent music taste and open mind fail to like this?

[@TheBassHeavy]

I remember watching this 3 years ago. This should be 1 million plus now, easily.

[@thejustineaster]

dude you just made venetian snares look easy to play on live drums. i had to comment but i don't even know wtf to say. i wish i could use your skills for my own musical exploits. anyway that was just fucking awesome man

[@ambientatomicorbitals7810]

I love venetian snares, And your drumming compliments it surprisingly well, Good job, favourited.

[@tasmanager3530]

Literally said “that’s me, easy”

[@PantherFox]

glad i faved this so i can keep coming back to it.

[@EdwardTorrence]

After 15+ views this is still incredible. A download link with better audio would be much appreciated.

[@LelandTorrence]

Cool tight.

[@adj789]

Now do Frictional Nevada oh, nvmd he did

[@spacegrass6632]

>blindfolded

[@RichieBellafonte]

Dios mío!!! Este tío es una máquina!!! De lo mejorcito que he visto en muchos años!!! Saludos desde España!!!

[@mq9demo]

That interlacing though.

[@rafaelcalamba]

it made the video a lot better imo

[@Rogers1977]

Wow, I can only imagine how long this took to learn. What's really amazing is that the drumming is near perfectly lined up to what was originally recorded. This guy has some superb control and timing. If he is also good and keeping a simple 4 on the floor with a super funky groove, then he's the perfect drummer.

[@RoomUnderwater]

this is very impressive. i never thought an actual v snares drum cover would/could ever be made.

[@xsquaredthemusician]

WOAH. This deconstructs the drumming so much! I am almost surprised by how, "simple" it seems, seeing you play it live. I'm not saying that this was easy to play by any means, because it obviously wasn't. But I do think it's interesting how seeing you play it does break down the rhythm. It sort of "grounds" it in reality, if that makes sense.

[@jellygels2629]

xsquaredthemusician Makes perfect sense. It sounds so complex and chaotic when you just listen to it

[@elvishpaisley]

that is one of the greatest feats of drumming I've seen. I've been playing acoustic and electric drums for 12 years and that is inspiring. makes me want to practice more.

[@SirLordHatCawk]

I can't get over how fucking nasty this is. I wish you made more videos.

[@mattjackson1991]

wow spectacular stuff love venetian snares great to see a live rendition

[@nikos8004]

I want to show this video to people when the say Travis Barker does innovative stuff behind the drum kit.

[@mikeglozier]

He does

[@tehaoboon923]

@@mikeglozier New videos soon???

[@ULTRAVELVET3]

I mean this is a cover but his drum work is just different

[@neverhadachoice]

Has been said nearly a hundred times but very impressive work - absolutely floored by the technique, so precise and efficient. Great work.

[@cperception]

DUDE WHERE ARE YOU. WANNA LISTEN MORE OF YOUR STUFF!!!!

[@EvanMarien]

god damn dude, you in NYC by chance? Could use you on some stuff....

[@cairoscomputer]

When are you coming back Mike :( I wanna hear you tackle some of Aaron's new stuff

[@B33D13Z]

You are absolutely fantastic. I have waited a long time to see some sersious DnB or Breakcore or whatever to be played on actual drums. Congrats, man, this is a serious achievement.

[@ArtandSolProductions]

10 years have passed, can we get an updated version in 4K?

[@radanju3]

yes this

[@therealshug]

Been ages since I've seen this one. Fantastic vid, even 8 years later.

[@paraquemolestarseenp]

holy fucking shit

[@Elidoransgar]

that pretty well sums it up

[@rocketB343s]

Words cannot describe how much I like this

[@0fg4]

0:56 I like how he's hitting the hi-hat. Like he's spanking someone's ass.

[@Flagon12]

Your memory is incredible, Mike. I am so impressed.

[@TroyaE117]

My friend, astonishing technique and timing. How on earth do you remember all that?

[@Zeuskabob1]

Awesome dude, good selection on the tracks to learn. Aaron Funk is an awesome composer, and you're an incredible drummer!

[@xn4pl]

This is freakin' awesome. Dude, can you make Xanopticon cover same way?

[@spuddeer60606]

seriously you cant say he is good at programming drums if you have translated that onto a live kit! you sir are one of the best drummers i have seen! this is unhuman.

[@BassDroppah]

@1:09 you can see how his ear plug is boinking

[@timoakley5730]

those are his gauges

[@chillhopdrumz1862]

I think about this video at least once a week

[@tonythrowaway3327]

can you do a livedrum version of 'flashforward' from this album? :-D edit: uuhhh nevermind, just saw your 'frictional nevada video'. nice stuff

[@africabambattaa]

lol community is everywhere. vvvortic should comment on this one as well

[@tonythrowaway3327]

africabambattaa gentleman, i'm here cuz im fucked!

[@Gigizhvania]

well I've seen you on some quite good tracks so i wont tell you to get the fuck out :3

[@HoopyFroodood]

Duuuuude. I think I listened to this song a few times in my youth. I'm amazed at the UK Garage feel of this song. Also this drummer is godlike...

[@mad.psyence]

Uk garage? More like Canadian hardcore Junglism or breakcore

[@coolguy02536]

Wasn't you the type to mimic what you heard off of TV You never wanted to work you wanted to have everything EZ

[@exquisiteoath]

Every time I catch this on random surfing I have to stop and watch. MAD SKILLS man, just mad.

[@alloriginalpirates]

I'm responsible for about 100 of the views on this video.

[@chimpansi2]

Fantastiskt! Cheers from Sweden!

[@christineanne412]

Shit. The. Bed.

[@jayphurs-stuff]

this is one of my favorite songs. absolutely nuts.

[@DeathOnDemand666]

Simply brilliant. No toms just snares.

[@da5e]

Well played! This is far more interesting than the legions of blastbeat drummers on KZbin.

[@arheru]

As a drummer myself I am so impressed I don't know what to say except that this is one of the best drum vids I've ever seen, and I've seriously seen most of them. =)

[@HayenMill]

@squiresuzuki its more like breakcore. dnb usually has a stable tempo of 170bpm. breakcore just floats around from different tempos and breaks to create the effect we are witnessing above.

[@ansar1313]

i can keep watching this all day.... amazing man..

[@kamikazuu1]

gentleman, what we have hear is stupendous glory, awesome work bruvva.

[@AustinKeegan]

I'm not positive what I just watched, but I'm pretty sure it was the coolest thing I've ever seen.

[@heinrichlieselotte8654]

Jaa wat sollik sagen danke für den schönen Abend in der Maria am Ufer.... ♥️ und danke für gentleman so ein genialer Track einfach nur ne Lecke wie der Drummer 🤟🤟🤟

[@georgegyulatyan3263]

Truly mesmerizing! Wow, that's just unbelievably incredibly drumming! My hat's off to you!

[@riseup20twelve]

Mental mental props for you bruv @mikeglozier watchin this again 2 yrs on!

[@Libridan]

My arm's broken right know and I use to play things like that old good venetian snares...thx for the vid..awsome..

[@rmunroe]

Dude. I have been playing for 23 years and have not seen anyone play IDM like you. Congrats. The Jojo Mayers and Johnny Rabbs better watch their backs!

[@drxbll]

Just wanted to say in MMXXV is one of the greatest drum vids on this app.

[@jack.p]

I will never get bored of watching this

[@cheaplightning]

Agreed 100%. I almost never comment on videos. You sir, deserve my respect.

[@AdamvonCarr]

This is literally the coolest thing I've ever seen.

[@imalwayswatchingu00]

the change in pitch and the overall quality is just.. insane. Never found the difference bigger on any other video.

[@JonThorBirgisson]

venetian/aphex/squarepusher all performed at one night, best day of my life. Great drumming btw :D

[@James7Alan]

Dude!! you just proved that nothing is impossible!! Thank you for the inspiration! :D

[@TheZachCrooks]

all i can say wow i worship you i love this kinda of drumming

[@ObserverAmusic]

Man you are freaking amazing! This actually makes Venetian Snares even cooler!

[@amputech]

Still coming back to this.

[@nawiasmusic]

Very, very impressive! Really nice idea for the setup and sound! Big respect.

[@JiGgiJo3]

Respect dude your rebound technique is so smooth and clean!!

[@strifehotshot]

This is insane! i love this sounds! The best drum and bass is always live and spellbinding!

[@MemotoneWilliamYates]

This is incredible. Seriously well done. Brilliant playing.

[@steveforssdrums]

Awesome drumming dude. Its great to see a drummer attempt break core. And its amazing to see them pull it off. Well done.

[@AMintyDragon]

GENTLEMEN That was fantastic.

[@maverickREAL]

I have to hand it to you. You saw Venetian Snares and thought "that's me, easy." And to be fair you did a good job

[@caddiec]

Amazing. So much talent. I'd love to see you do more Sanares tunes!

[@jeannemasse3392]

Still here after 1 000 000 000 000 000 listening

[@usuratonkachi28]

This is EPIC! That word gets thrown around alot but this takes it lol. AMAZING job keeping up with VS on the drums...that takes some skill right there and you have it =)

[@atomed2]

Wow, there is some serious talent, good job.

[@tehpr0lol]

mad respect for a drum cover of this.

[@ben.lebron]

this is the sickest thing ive seen all year!

[@KapitalP73]

Dude! This is outstanding!!!!!

[@erophin]

So good to see you play this amazing piece of drumkit !!! Great work and fun :D

[@2oastedMildly]

I keep picturing what a full blown metal cover of that would sound like the whole time you were playing.... That is sickness in its purest form. 5* :)
