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

[@Whizhill55]

You killed it though one time for the fla boys

[@saky228]

"Sean Wright like a diamond"

[@onn.drummer]

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.

[@Fluffykinggaming]

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

[@iMobinator]

my favorite trumpet solo, so fun

[@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.

[@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.

[@kudakwashejairosi]

Can’t believe it was dropped 5 years ago🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@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!!!!!!!

[@JayStiqs]

Ive been waiting All Year for this!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@terrystunner]

Zildjan live has done a good inspiration job

[@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 🙏🏾❤️

[@Diatonic5th]

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

[@yarpyarp85]

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

[@krioni86sa]

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

[@KingCr3ative]

Big Fan Of SEAN 💯💪🏽🔥

[@TheFlightsimNerd]

Cody Wright is such a great bassist.

[@etyrnal]

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

[@loganlakedrums]

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

[@MansoorKhan]

Crazy level of musicianship!

[@pierrecadieux5992]

[@m.a.nathaniel7660]

Sean, you are a source of Inspiration, bro! 🙏

[@musicdev]

I still can't get over that trumpet solo, especially around 4:27, so damn groovy

[@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.

[@JanvanOort]

the discovery of the year for me!!!

[@Bashanvibe]

Yes sir. This was definitely a clinic.

[@LaPiedraRock]

Wow!

This vid is straight fire bro 🔥🔥🔥. Everything sounded crisp and tasteful

[@fastlane6869]

He must've sent that snare to heaven to get tuned 🙏🏿

[@sykesj5]

real clean!!!!!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@MakesiJosephRiddimRider]

Kept it very musical and clean APPRECIATED...

[@richiswhattheycallme]

The mix on this is perfect 👌

[@kbdrumz713]

Long awaited definitely worth it pure 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 this tune is moving 🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾

[@RevJonMc]

Just started watching KZbin videos & came across this. So I checked others. Sean Wright, you are my new favorite drummer. Sick or not your playing was sick. So smooth, so precise, it looks effortless!!!
