Zildjian Vault Performance | Kaz Rodriguez "TOTEM"

[@DRUMTALKRussia]

Bad sound mixing: ghost notes and ride are inaudible...

[@lucasagustinrafael]

I think there's no snare side mic...

[@solohour]

I felt the same way. The mix was terrible.

[@ppmatt87]

You would think Zildjian would want their cymbals in the mix 😂

[@majorpuggington]

Cant hear the ghost notes or the toms.

[@Paawandrums]

Bad headphones: if you had good ones you can easily hear them. Invest in quality earphones

[@trevorhancock_]

Second time I've seen a brilliant Cluster Crash in the wild...when are we getting word on that one?!

[@overindulgence6168]

Wonder if the brilliant finish makes the sound glassier? 🤔

[@Joshstix95]

@@overindulgence6168 it does. the traditional finish take awhile to open up.

[@bishopoftroy]

His name is the Zildjian K, A and Z series.

[@the_newvoice]

The snare sounds nice :)

[@kaduhangar]

sensational to watch this great drummer, these cymbals are wonderful

[@Rob2Tuff]

The way he seemed to be flipping the time was insane, hopefully I can become that creative someday🔥🔥🔥

[@paperPluto]

Great drumming🙏. The cymbals sound beautiful. I ❤Zildjian. I have been playing drums since 1987. I have been using Zildjians since 1995. It will probably stay that way 👍💪. Thank you.

[@rafaelferrer1]

Zildjian please put the info About Cymbals Thanks 🎵🎶🥁🥁

[@abelpaduret]

Zildjian! We need that cymbal setup in the description now!!!

[@redbull63]

This song is like an extend version my favorite part of his drum solo in his zildjian live performance... when he changed the entire feel of the vamp he was playing over (I wish I knew more about music to describe it to you)

[@michaelcartwright4628]

It's my understanding that Kaz writes the drumless tracks with a specific drum concept in mind. Definitely some metric modulation going on. Would love to hear his thoughts on it

[@winstonrushiniii3647]

In the heat of battle this man does not miss 🤯🤯🤯

[@Ricardinho_7]

That’s a drummer with great taste. Makes the drum set sound beautiful.

[@lakindudesilva7251]

One one my favourite drummers 🥺😍❤️

[@521photography]

These might be some of the best crashes I’ve ever heard.

[@st.matthew313thetimekeeper2]

My man kaz. One of my favorites

[@zcustomcarnesi]

I've been playing Zildjian over 40 year's " Metal - Prog , I can't imagine playing any other. Oh yeah great video!

[@johannesestor9788]

Are the brilliant Cluster Crashes and these nice Hats going to be released? I need them!😅😅😅

[@jameswilkins264]

That’s amazing drumming an an equally amazing track! Kaz at it again!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@christiansantosa2014]

the snare sound 💯💯

[@2an_sound]

Thank you Kaz

[@adammtroutman]

Kaz is one of my favorites!

[@xgin2637]

HEAT! The switching up is the business! Great work G!

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

....wait.... I'm looking at this in a different light now. Before I thought these were older performances previously unreleased, but now I'm thinking these are recent, but called "vault" because it's in a cymbal vault? 🤔😂🤷‍♂️

[@TheSpencerLevi]

Yes that is correct.

[@boomstand2872]

Yes, that room is called The Vault. To avoid confusion the videos should say IN The Vault, not FROM the Vault. When someone says "from the vault" it usually means something was locked away long-term but has now been brought back out.

[@Joshstix95]

release the brilliant cluster crashes zildjian😭

[@marcowaters8279]

My bro!!! Dreaming grooves as always!

[@daviddebuhr8995]

Can't hear the ride at all..Thought this was a Cymbal video. :)

[@st.matthew313thetimekeeper2]

I love all his drum tracks. Most of them are pretty challenging. You gotta know your stuff to play to his tracks

[@AhhGeeProductions]

No cymbal line up in the description!?!? Noooooo ;/

[@surfninja8728]

SO GOOD!

[@Nathaniel_7991]

awesome sounds tama

[@Tiger_Smash59]

This mix is killing me

[@ranjithdesilva337]

Great 💖💖

[@JCordoba1001]

I would love the k sweet crash in brilliant! I’d buy an 18, 19, and 20!

[@TheGuyFromWI]

Turn up the over heads Zildjian!

[@VensMaker]

Sound 👌

[@im.supergamer2244]

Where can I get the K 19” cluster crash (brilliant)

[@ntokozonhlapho181]

Thank you 😭🔥

[@Juniscrazy]

Hihats are nice

[@VelMetalHead]

And nothing about the cymbals, size/series/weight...

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

P e r f o r m a n c e

[@joshmorrow6672]

very cool

[@vinniekay0967]

This BEAST is "Style Wise" the 'Dave Weckl' - 2.2 XL of Modern Day, 21st Century Drumming, IMO..

[@jake_stacey]

Odd mix for a cymbal co video - can't really make out the ride at all!

[@keithoutterbridge8782]

facts...no ride at all

[@SuperGroove97]

Exactly... And no description at all ahahahah

[@jawdropshop]

Looks like a 16”Sweets, 18” Cluster 22” Renaissance 20” Cluster and 20”Cluster. Heaven know the splashes, but I’m interested in knowing if I got em right when they reveal em. Who wants to guess with me? 😂

[@kmtobia]

I’m guessing 15” cluster hi hats.

[@jawdropshop]

@@kmtobia I was thinking that too… I was wondering if he was using a 16” cluster as a top

[@overindulgence6168]

​@jawdropshop he is using a cluster as a top. If you look closely when they pan the overhead view, you see the cluster hammer marks.

[@joshuacallwood8140]

You guys didn’t put what cymbals he is using in the description

[@solohour]

something really wonky with this mix. Was it just me or could nobody else hear the ghost notes and subtle stuff?

[@jethrojangles9541]

Yeah this sounds completely fucked to me, the kick also sounds like it wasn't really meant to sound like that

[@DerekStoltenbergMusic]

Hardly any ride coming through too. Should put a small mic under it

[@timwestbrook23]

He's nice fr

[@jingjiewong3826]

What time signature is the song in? I'm confused

[@jamaicanxhoney4218]

😮‍💨🤦🏾‍♀️🔥🙌🏾

[@danielkornuta4965]

Whaaat

[@driggerfireon5760]

Dig it

[@992berti]

OH.... MY..... GOD......

[@RobShaffer]

You guys didn't list what cymbals he's using.

[@bobsdrumlessons]

WHAT IS THAT SPLASH?!

[@arimanggala9851]

Are we gonna ignore about the bass tone?

[@csrboltfan2643]

Cannot hear the ride cymbal AT ALL.

[@John-Lorraine]

This was recommended by BMI. The drummer is good; however, the music is not being led by the drumming, as in much of historic music. Computers are driving everything, and the drummer, who probably wrote everything, is just hanging around and beating off. .

[@ashimotoakai9599]

who tf mixxed this? bench their pay wtf, ik kid producers that can mix better than this?!

[@krioni86sa]

Kaz please switch to Meinl. You look sad and unsatisfied with your cymbals.

[@bosstrading928]

Horrible mix 😢
