So hilarious i was sick this day lol, Can't wait to see the interview. First interview i couldn't get through without coughing 🤦🏾‍♂️🤣😂

[@theheritic209]

Sean Wright u really were sick dawg. see what i did there

[@robertvilera2104]

Sean Wright brooooo, killed it

[@roykasika870]

Dude. Your drumming so tasteful! Phrasing! God bless youuuuuu

[@jibekdio]

Maybe you were sick but looking you playing is a medicine for me bro, a pleasure to be your follower

[@homerhill7417]

You killed it though one time for the fla boys

[@saky228]

"Sean Wright like a diamond"

[@onn.studio]

Hahaha 🔥❤️

[@asaphbass6711]

I see what you did there..!😂😂😂

[@jamieharris327]

@@asaphbass6711 Hilarious 😆😆😆

[@tafadzwablessingkaitano1091]

the people who disliked this video are definitely not musicians , how can someone dislike such musicianship on display ,Sean's phrasing is insane

[@bearjewels4699]

honestly I've seen better gospel videos he'd done.. just my $.02

[@ourfragrancejourney3911]

Bear Jewels this wasn’t solely about chops... mostly about musicianship.

[@SeanSentDaBeat]

@@bearjewels4699 lmao your 2 cents are trash cause I don't do gospel videos😂, ya'll youtube 'ignorant experts' always make me laugh 😂😂😂

[@normanwilmoth7404]

@@SeanSentDaBeat glad you spoke up because I get tired of the so-called KZbin music expert's always giving there like you said trash 2 cent comments😆

[@chimps4gimps]

Technical appreciation does not equal enjoyment. It was a bit too busy for me. I prefer a more stripped back style. Each to their own. But I tried it on for size and found it wasn't for me.

[@janitor4jesus944]

Sean definitely had much self control. I peeped the parts of this tune where he knew he would've thrashed,but he kept it tight and still smashed. Hot stuff mane!!!!!!!

[@ICOMEOUTSMOKIN]

I don't care how many time i watch this video.....one of my favorite workout songs!!!! These cats are JAMMIN HARD!!!! Sean Wright is THE TRUTH!!!!!

[@rhythmcaster2018]

Can't deny this is gonna be one of my city night driving tunes.

[@Fluffykinggaming]

From Berklee to this! Sean Wright is a young Legend !! Amazing pocket, knew when to drop chops in. His buzz notes are Incredible!!

[@supercussion6590]

Great musicians, great engineering, but most importantly GREAT ARRANGEMENT. Uncle Sput never disappoints in his productions.

[@THEEBlackAnime]

Nobody sounds like Sean, Sean sounds like nobody. 🔥🔥🔥 🎶 🎶🎶 🥁 🥁🥁

[@krioni86sa]

You can see Sput is very happy with this one! :D

[@JPitty2011]

I love their choice of horn player....very tasteful solo for the situation....well done guys!!! And of course, Ghost note....man y'all always kill. Last but not least.... I'm not a fan of most but these guys get my vote Chris Coleman, Calvin Rodgers, Dave Weckle, Sput,.......and Sean Wright, u get my vote too! Keep it up fam!!!

[@SeanSentDaBeat]

Jason Pittmon 🙏🏾❤️

[@EmbarkCoffee]

This. Is. Fire. 🔥 I thought that was Stanley Randolph on trombone for a second 😂

[@rjakethomas]

Me too!

[@iMobinator]

my favorite trumpet solo, so fun

[@KingCr3ative]

Big Fan Of SEAN 💯💪🏽🔥

[@Diatonic5th]

Sean Wright is amazing here! Gotta give some love to that trumpet solo too!

[@JayStiqs]

[@nobiasjones2402]

I want to know all the cymbals

[@ramenthenoodle_]

[@yarpyarp85]

Holy shit, I hope these never end. Best drum series ever.

[@christopherbowers7219]

These are all good, but THIS ONE is BY FAR #VFJams BEST ONE YET! SALUTE!

[@NJGuerrilla]

This.... This has a little something for everyone, it's like a musical buffet and I can't stop eating!!!

[@Kuba-hs4ns]

So freaking good 😭🔥😭🔥😭🔥🔥😭🔥😭🔥😭🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🌃🎊👀 Best VF Jams episode along with Peter Erskines one

[@SamParnin]

Seriously though, where can we buy these? There has to be a VF Jams Live album released.

[@alemanyorks32]

So want that..

[@ogxr626]

I’m just here for the facial expressions and body rolls from the keyboard player 😎😂😂!! Sean kills it once again! Love what you guys are doing 👍🏾👌🏿!

[@9544LIFE]

I can't unsee it now! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@mrbtapir]

Quality tune. Love the trumpet solo and the chords behind it. Some of the drumming is simply delicious.

[@Drumzoo]

So clean and tasty🔥👏🏼🔥 Sean killed this, and the whole band is sick. One of the best VFJams so far?🙌🏽

[@drumline.culture4083]

My first time watching a VFJam

[@Frank1979Zappa]

No.

[@TrevWILL79]

This comes close but Larnell Lewis’ set was far and away the best so far

[@DMBCJ21]

That’s Zildjian live not Vic Firth jams with larnell. Carlin white joint was nasty tho.

[@IBRODKASTNEWZ]

Check out Stanley Randolph his VF jam. He's is straight funk.

[@yurhuyyuerfuy]

Tastful asf . I hear y’all bout to take it to church at the end 🙌🏾🤣

[@terrystunner]

Zildjan live has done a good inspiration job

[@chiptoothtech4937]

WONDERFUL SHOWCASE OF WHAT MUSIC IS AND VIC FIRTH PRODUCTS!

[@loganlake7814]

I’ve been waiting this whole season for Sean Wright, he’s incredible and one of my favorites in the lineup by far.

[@etyrnal]

This needs to exist on high quality 12-inch vinyl immediately!

[@onn.studio]

Oooooouu yeah! 🔥 Such a friendly person with great reactions on other videos! And for sure awesome talent!! ❤️

[@TheFrejusmea]

Sean phrasing is soo good you can effortlessly sing them phrases back like lyrics yoooo

[@CarlHamilton1914]

This guys phrasing is ridiculous! And he looks so effortless while doing everything!

[@percusswords]

impossible to stop dancing to this. This is the heaviest groove in any of the vfjams. Gotta check out more of Sean's shit!

[@lenthericjames4925]

i had this day marked on my calendar big ups Sean Wright on of the best!!!!!

[@DemetriusWalker]

Played it at .75 speed...like a whole new song, and still flawless! Love this video!

[@jdb3611]

I was waiting for this and I wasn't disappointed

[@NielsChronicles]

I feel so much happiness from watching this God bless you all

[@n2fabian726]

DAMN! Grooving so hard while playing so damn smooth. Love his dynamic

[@raston_]

King of chopz

[@andrewe.schlosser7625]

It was so cool to watch this being done, Sean ripping through one rehearsal and having enough energy to do it all over again! Band is so pro, Sput's direction was amazing and not enough words for Sean's groove and style. This is for the ages.

[@MansoorKhan]

Crazy level of musicianship!

[@dharilesso2045]

Woowww Sean it’s crazy 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@infadelakainf]

The groove to this is so dope. Nearly 4am and watching musicians brings a calm you can’t find anywhere else. Thank you

[@THEEBlackAnime]

The mix on this is perfect 👌

[@CreativityThePoet]

I jam this almost everyday and I'm here for the random ass rim shot lol

[@tayemoney1592]

I love this groove

[@alanwechsler9850]

Incredible. One question us humans have always been asking is, “Why are we here?” The answer may well be, “Because music, that’s why.” At :16 seconds I was already reaching for the volume. Sean’s intro into the groove had me cranking it up and by :45 I had the volume ALL the way UP, baby! Incredible.

[@davidhanks4410]

This si so beautiful performance ! Thanks VF

[@ianrosales4390]

Love u man. Big fan here from the philippines.

[@liampetersen5702]

Alright Sean...I had to comment on my laptop because I threw my phone out the window after watching this! 🤦🏽‍♂️🔥

[@marksimmonsjr.4520]

[@incredibilistic]

Sweet! I'm huge fan of Sean's, Sput and most everyone in the band but if I'm keeping it 💯 I felt like it started better than it finished.

[@drummerchen4053]

It must be the hottest one in season 2🔥Sean oh my goodness！

[@juliusopaleye]

Beast mode 😍🎧🎼

This tune is amazing😍, the band was great as usual🙌🏽🙌🏽, but big up to Sean Wright 👌🏽👌🏽
