Finally! I'm glad Jamal is getting noticed! He has always been in the shadow of his step-brother Aaron Spears to me! Thanks Vic!

[@claytondungey166]

Thankyou !!!! He should of been noticed lol

[@usjamal48]

Very talented, You have the spirit of the Late, Great G. Krupa, much success !!!

[@Suprematista]

And by the way Vic, Kennet must be in the "Performance Spotlight", too.

[@richone2540]

Kenneth Benson As far as I'm concerned, big brother has absolulerty NOTHING on him at all.

[@gospelplayer2]

+Rich Soundz hmm duno about that but yeh

[@_t2x]

I can't count how many times I've watched this vid. So damn amazing

[@glacier2win]

I love his playing as well as the backing track.

[@Don0213]

Those gospel chops my goodness!!!

[@asmallpug]

Such a dope track

[@MosinMauserSmith9130]

Clean technique and GREAT SOUND! He will go far!

[@jonahchristopherson1585]

Wow that speed and accuracy was amazing

[@MarineBlueFade]

That's some of the best 6/8 I've ever heard! He's killing it!

[@levenskyldderisca5748]

Check out Greg Clark Jr. I think they have the same feel

[@levenskyldderisca5748]

Kenneth Chapman Check out Greg Clark Jr. I thi think they have the same feel.

[@theunfoldedtaquito]

Hot damn, boy! You got this song in the pocket. Honestly one of the most impressive drumming styles out there, and I saw those rudiment 4's on the floor tom to finish the fill. One of my favorite drummers, for sure!

[@mjm5081]

Great playing!...Great sounding drums and cymbals!...Great music!...And of course, great Vic Firth sticks!...What's not to like - Non Paid Spokesperson ❤

[@dareelking987]

R.I.P to the Floor Tom 5:40-5:57

[@enocmejia7254]

Así es!

[@umdiscodevinil]

6 dislikes? Tell me why! Oh, yeah, I know... It means "I can't play like that and instead of being inspired to practice a lot, I prefer to make bad comments."

[@Crabbadabba]

+umdiscodevinil Did it ever occur to you they maybe just didn't like it?

[@gospelplayer2]

+Crabbadabba nope never in life

[@ambroulard]

umdiscodevinil No,, I suspect it has nothing to do with his playing- he’s obviously a good player-- It’s this insipid canned garbagey music that all these great players are miming to.-- So it’s like musicians should be all inspired to practice their asses off so they can produce a bitcoin utube video......... sad that this is what the music world has come to.--, a vicarious TV. Thrill rather than the wonderful communal and tribal activity it used to be.

[@gustafsone]

@@Crabbadabba This is why I hate the upvote/downvote system. To me, a downvote isn't "I don't like this", it's "this video is so bad, not only do I not like it, I don't think anyone else should even watch it!". Personally, when I don't like a video just because it's not my thing or whatever, I don't vote at all, I move on. Only the stuff I think is total garbage or offensive get my downvote, as I think that's how it should work.

[@andysimmons311]

M. M. That’s valid but not really worthy of going out of your way to dislike something. Nothing really is

[@Gotekx98]

That was sick!!!!

[@louispobee-orleans3863]

Watched this twice once is saw it. That's some neat grooving. Inspired.

[@richardpowell8012]

[@jabronasaurus]

That PDP Concept sounds Great! One of the best "bang for the buck" out there.

[@jwebby85]

Jabrond Gamble I appreciate that Jamal doesn’t feel he has play the most expensive drums. He chose to highlight how good these “intermediate” drums sound. Same with Eric Moore. I’m picking up a set this weekend myself.

[@andreghouse6069]

This is really cool.

[@dreampetrucci]

holy shit... Never heard of this guy, I ended up here from the Rashid Williams video... I gotta say, as soon as I noticed he was sweating before he even began playing, I though: "this is gonna be sweet...". This guy is amazing!

[@JacobCorumWilliams]

Does anyone know how drummers do live play alongs exactly like Jamal did in this video? I wanna know what I need to get the music playing through the PA system and my headphones simultaneously while I'm playing. If there's a way I could get the music playing through the PA system but with the simultaneous click track through my headphones as well that would be a huge plus.
