Zildjian LIVE! - Ash Soan

[@AspireAndInspire]

I like the idea that someone in the audience was just so moved by the music that they whipped out a mic and just started wailing

[@SMEWTHjazz]

Nah man that was planned, you can’t let just anyone grab a mic 😂😂😂

As hard as every other drummer has gone in this series, nobody has played to the song like Ash. He’s capable of impressing you with his chops, and he chose not to. That’s badass.

[@kilmoturtles1]

Yea, I get it.. I'm a fan of Jeff Pocaro, who never did a drum solo or a very busy fill... I definitely don't care for the flash, especially like where somebody puts a dirty Ash drum stick in their mouth and clicks it with another stick thinking that is drumming... but, in this case, a couple more notes would have been nice. I think the point of this show is to show the drums ( drummers), right? BUt, Idk.. not showing is also showing.. so, to each their own. I like his drumming, and I like that he enjoys drumming

[@Ted_Swayinghill]

I enjoyed this performance and drumming more than every video posted by Zildjian live. It's nice to hear a tight pocket. The internet is flooded with EVERYONE soloing all over the place now on every instrument.

[@wolfkingofficialmusic]

Ash doesn’t actually really have chops (I’ve had a lesson with the dude), so not sure what you’re talking about there without back up… but agreed he plays to the song like no one

[@calebtyler_]

Deeper than the Mariana Trench

[@jeromeodom7623]

Damn right.

[@mogglie]

0:34 it’s genius to let the scramble-thingy-cymbal sizzle in that space rather than playing a mega braggadadiddlelifumpthump-fill. Such a statement about minimalism to start of the song. It’s like “hello Zildjans, space is also music, Imma sho ya,” Then he goes on to do a silent drum solo when it’s his time to shine, 4:26, using 10 note for two bars. Amazing and brave choices of fills for a zildjan performance. Well done Ash, well done. 5:55 6:06...

[@mule659]

Ash Soan brings more pocket than a store full of cargo shorts. Simply incredible.

LYRICS FOR "Wait A Minute" by Robert Sput Searight Wait a minute, just before you lose it Understand you're tripping on a cocktail of delusion Wait a minute You're gonna need someone to validate your extra shit Validate it Now it seems so amplified How do you even justify the way that you treat me? Oh baby, well I told you time and again Since way before the beginning But you go and act like you don't know what's good Tell me, what am I supposed to believe? You try my soul Acting like I'm not supposed to leave You know you shoulda known Tell me, what are we supposed to do?(x2) You know we had it all Wait a minute You know that your family is on my side Hey, in a minute You know they turn on you Cause they know that I'm justified I can't help it Cause I'm created, know my purpose ____? And it seems so amplified How do you even justify the way that you treat me? And I told you time and again Since way before the beginning Tell me, what am I supposed to believe?(x2) What am I supposed to believe?(x2)

[@lateralus747]

I love that people are reacting to Ash’s use of space in his fills. It makes that shit much funkier. It’s such a nice change of pace from guys and gals filling up every single space of every single bar.

[@paulhoward4161]

That's the first time I've seen 'negative space' used by a drummer. Genius.

[@brandonennsmusic8687]

This is the definition of serving the song. LESS IS MORE!!! That fill near the end was absolutely amazing even though it was one of the most simple fills. Just goes to show how important being in the pocket and having great feel is.

[@chrisjames5865]

Perfectly said Brandon! I could not agree more with you!! Less is always more and Ash is def King 🤴 of that. Losing yourself in the pocket and locking in like that is something you're born with. We should set out clocks to Ash's timing in a pocket.

[@geordiewineguide]

the dude plays nowt at 4 mins 25 and has everyone in the palm of his hand, thats class, the ultimate musicianship.

[@7Logik]

This song doesnt need any fancy fills , just the groove itself is enough to put you in a neckbrace

[@nobodyknowsrhys]

As a session drummer, Ash has this style that’s incredible at highlighting the OTHER musicians that he’s playing with. He’s never flashy or complicated for the sake of being fancy; instead every hit and every SPACE is thoroughly thought out in order to highlight the song itself better. Not to mention, the amount of time and detail he spends perfecting his drum tone is insane. Sometimes it’s harder to be simpler, as opposed to more complicated. Ash brings that to a whole new level, and it’s incredible.

[@matthewbell745]

superb editing, but I felt it was a wee bit too short. I guess comparing it to the likes of Stanton Moore's video which was almost twice as long. BUT. It was amazing in terms of groove, so it was short but sweet
