[@joshwitham7158]

i think its funny that Zack gave the cymbal to someone with electric drums

[@Kuemmel234]

I just imagined the rest of the house hearing that single crash every now and then and that makes me giggle. Hope he gets the rest of the set if he's into that.

[@Vallun]

was gonna say you should have given it to the electric kit dude as a meme, but then it ended up being a wholesome truth

[@8020drummer]

Are you getting the "slowing down effect" at 0:39 with displaced rhythm or by actually slowing the tune 🔥🔥

[@ray12a]

i love electronic music as much as the next guy but there’s something truly rad about seeing a new generation of young drummers taking their skills as far as they can. i love this

[@7tomi8]

Ayo Zack thanks for the kind words! Let’s shed bye love ya

[@4444540]

Not only are you a seriously awesome player and inspiring to us all Zack, but you are so complimentary and found something to love about all the drummers in this video. That's a beautiful thing, bro! :)

[@stevenraparelli3396]

Hey Zach, that contest was kick ass. I think the kid that you jacked the groove from really won, but respect for going deep and recognizing necessity. All those players were great. Always appreciate your brand of humor coupled with drums. Stay genuine.

[@Westside_69]

As soon as I heard Michael playing i was already hoping for him to win, then i heard the last dude and I was like: this is gonna be a tough decision. Congrats Michael you deserved it bro 😁

I want you to know that i was gonna give this a go until I remembered i strictly play extreme metal and fall on my face every time im asked to do something original that doesnt involve blast beats, but know i participated in spirit

pls i need to know

[@alexteubert5516]

Definitely my favorite groove from these submissions. So steezy

[@scsidrum]

Well done Michael Spence and all the guys on this video. Keep em coming Zack. I would suggest a regular Cymbal give-away but then you would have no kit left. Another suggestion would be a video with no drums, but household items to play on that sound cool (only sticks allowed…..or wooden spoons 🤣). 👍🏼

[@asgervs3224]

That intro was insane, would love to listen to your stuff as standalone songs/beats!

[@BraeburnTV]

08:15 “ . . . . . . but I only have $18.69 . . . . and I really want this pizza.” “I’m sure we can work something out”

[@sydhamelin1265]

Agreed, for pure groove and musicality, the winner Michael, killed it. His musical way of putting complex beats into a really catchy groove is pretty darn incredible.

[@liamslowey22]

Currently in school to be a producer/orchestrator and your videos have helped me track my own drums in a way that is so much more interesting and complex. I'm no drummer by any means, but thanks to you at least I can fake it on the demos 😂 Thanks brother!

[@HinnerkHesse]

Dude your positivity is just so comforting

Bro I love your videos. Sick grooves, sick chops, and you're funny as hell. Keep it up!

[@raitoxote]

I can hear so much Gavin Harrison in Modern Abstract. That guy is going to be great, nailing the offbeat flams, the RLRRL and the metric modulation is not easy!!!

[@teo1837]

You're so fye with it. I've been wondering what bass plugin you used on this intro here if any. Those tones are so smooth and I honestly don't even know where to look. I just broke out of my 'free phase' and started buying plugins so any tips would be great. Love your videos bro, keep it up!
