That little hi-hat trick with one hand triplets comes from bodharan(?) drums. it's not hard, you can do it!! 🦄

[@isaacseehausen3952]

Hey Zach, here is a tutorial for the technique at 7:07, it's the Casey Claw, heres a tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3OypWWlZdSoq7M

[@everyoneelsemovedonfan]

That sick intro was Beethoven Moonlight sonata 3 lol

[@t.j.hernan4258]

Bro where’s the insta link

[@Schatje79]

People just don't know how awesome it is to roll behind a vpn. Aside from the security aspect, I also love not having my internet throttled by f'ers like Comcast while on youtube, netflix, etc.

[@mileswong4475]

Moonlight Sonata 3rd movement = sick intro to a rock song

[@marsjokes]

Oh my gosh! Thanks for naming the piece. I was like, hold on a minute, I know this piece. It's a classical piece. But what's it called, and by whom?. Thanks man. And yeah, it's a totally sick intro for a rock song.

[@ItsMrBozToYou]

Beethoven has such short, focused, and rhythmic lines that just translate really well to "heavy" instrumentation. Orchestra, electric instruments, piano, etc.

[@NikolaVa87]

Yep. My favorite piece from Beethoven.

[@delicrux]

This sounds exactly like the guitar version Stéphan Forté plays on his solo track virtuosity etude

[@motherjesse]

That was sick. I love me some Presto Agitato. Lol

[@drumm3r_b0y27]

Man all these people are inspiring. Tog playing those insane chops with a broken pedal at his first festival. That one dude playing on a pot head I assume. Just all those people inspired me to keep going same for you Zack

11:18 Zack literally grooved to moonlight sonata without realising it

[@Nicegram-FaZeSimp]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@electroman224]

Shit like that reminds of how weirdly similar some classical music and rock music is. So much of it is literally just the instruments. Go check 2Cello's thunderstruck cover if you don't believe me. Actually, just check it out anyway cause it's cool.

[@fimnh4543]

8:50 The way Zack looks over to Nathan while so hyped only to see his brother being so sophisticated and calm, then looking back and then also being calm is hilarious to me

[@325bpm6]

8:16 it’s a variation on the Casey Claw, which is like playing a double stroke roll but you do the weird claw grip in one hand to play doubles. the difference is that with what he’s doing, he plays three notes in one motion so what you do is you death grip the stick in the middle and learn the two-way casey claw, which is what i was just talking about; you hit the butt then the tip of the stick with the claw hand in one motion by rotating the wrist. then, to get the one-handed claw, you get rid of the other hand and with the claw hand, you play butt-tip then add an extra butt at the end by rotating back the other direction. then you repeat, butt-tip-butt butt-tip-butt

[@xcw3135]

So you mean after the first strike with the butt of the stick, it continues in the pattern of tip-butt-butt for the rest of the time?

[@lichtfilme]

Louis Cole also did a one handed 16ths on the hihat.. but this guy here does something ELSE with triols... beautiful

[@onesyphorus]

lol i immediately thought of him when i saw the casey thingy

[@ryanchristiansen3403]

That guy with the fanning technique was so good, I did it in marching band where we would fan the top drums on the tenors, I've never seen it done that well

[@adrianlopez9231]

“Razor blades in my bedroom … waiting for meee” 😂😂 had me dying at the end

[@Beefnhammer]

That hi-hat trick was nuts. It was like the hand equivalent of that weird kick pedal that exists that's a single pedal but has 2 beaters on it so when the pedal pulls back, the second beater hits the drum so you get 2 notes for every one stroke.

[@scc.2538]

Casey Claw baby, it is used primarily in marching, there are a lot of tutorials on yt for it.

[@verticalslab]

The hi-hat technique is called a Casey claw and is primarily used in marching. There are many good tutorials on youtube

[@Leonlion0305]

Man. I still love how Zack just _groove_ when he play. One of the few drummers who still makes drum set interesting for me. So cool to see Casey Claw incorporated in drum set. Wonder how many other drumline tricks we can use in drum set

[@nickgiovanni6518]

Your channel is the dopest drum/ percussion channel around, you give so much to your fans it’s like your blessing you share with your community. Respect all the best Zach

Hey Zach. Just found your channel from a KZbin recommendation. I'm getting myself an alesis electronic kit after not having touched the drums in a decade. I really like your energy and the way you play, and will be watching a lot of you moving forward! Thanks for existing.

@MF YA SILLY well there's also a reason we subbed in the first place. If someone switches up so crazily that they're not doing what their fans are there for, they have the right to leave. It's like going to your favorite pizza place only to find out they're only making cakes now. Change is okay, it's good even, but you can't forget what made you big or change too quickly

[@LudwigNL]

The drumpart at 12:07 is actually from the song Awe At All Angles from Moon Tooth. Still nice though!

awesome video man, love this

[@totobs1]

i like the focus on the mic

[@MizterClanz]

Tog182 was straight up just disciplining that drum set

[@christinacobas3311]

7:56 that’s called the Casey claw. It’s used in marching percussion and rarely ever used in drum set. You move your hand like that to hit the playing surface with the butt of the stick and the tip in a smooth pattern then fill in the rest with diddles.

[@EthanHGray]

I use that first chop and variations of it all the time - try splitting the right hand onto the toms and L on the snare for a chop you can throw in anywhere for a 16.

[@rafaelgonzalez7230]

I hope I get to see you play live can’t wait for the album too

9:27 was the best sounding and not just because it had other instruments backing it.

[@annihilist1983]

I think one of the notes in that hi hat chop by endura is a closed hat and then two notes with the stick - one on the butt (😏) and one on the tip (😉). But idk I’m not sitting at the kit and can’t really try it rn. Anyway, Love all your vids mate. Keep ‘em coming when you can, we’re here for em when they roll out!

[@leemaki5109]

[@SS2Balls]

pretty sure 7:00 marched tenors at one point with those sweeps and movement and the high hat stuff im pretty sure is a casey claw

[@brankolocanetto5047]

My guy in 5:48 was amazingly communicating some anger with his drumming. beautiful

[@Terrible_Peril]

looks like he grips closer to the tip and swings the base of the stick (closer to the abdomen) through the edge of the hat twice, and then on the second hit the wrist turns enough that the tip also makes contact. I'm not a drummer but I do a similar thing with a little wooden gear on a stick and my bass guitar string.
