Ok. So it's very clear that some of you don't quite know what a "shed" is. A shed is when musicians come together to build vocabulary and ideas off one another. It's a learning tool and, also a release in some cases. I'm seeing a lot of comments saying "no musicality, no pocket, just noise." If you want to see/hear drummers play pocket and play music, look up a jam session or something. Every single of one us is more than capable and knowledgeable on the difference between playing a gig, and releasing on our instrument. The musicians in this video are getting calls and are in rooms that some of you will never see or will be watching from the audience. There is no need for us to be disrespected because of your ignorance. If you don't understand what's going on, and you're not trying to understand, respectfully, your comments are not needed.

So many fucking negative comments.... yall are working out having fun. No one here is trying to write the Dark Side Of The Moon, they are drumming! And having fun and pushing their own physical and improvisational limits. Looks like a fun time!!!!

They're all great....but that guy in the yellow shirt in the first part of the video, absolutely amazing. (I've played drums for 30 years.) I'm not sure why so many of the comments are negative. These musicians probably all know how to stay in the pocket, too, but that's not the point here - it's a fun jam, a fun competition. Lighten up. The guy in the yellow shirt has amazing technique. The way he hits the drum, holds the sticks, the way each note is articulated, it's super crisp. Props to all of them, but this guy stood out to me.

It gets tighter and more inspired over time, pretty entertaining. It's very obvious that they are stoked about being drummers. By the end of the video they were getting pretty locked in and it started to groove more. Fun room to be in for a young drummer.

I love it, no competition, just playing. You can put 4 drummers in a room playing the same song and it’ll sound like 4 different songs. I’ve been playing for 35 years and drummers are a different breed. I’ve rarely run into an ego, just love for the instrument and music. Peace guys, keep killing it.

This is an amazing video..I was glued to the screen for 35 minutes. To any haters watching this, just keep in mind that there is an entire world that we musicians inhabit that y'all civilians are oblivious to. The music you listen to and consider to be music is what we consider to be nursery school rhymes for adults! Junk that we play cause that's how we pay the bills, all the while thinking to ourselves 'what kind of braindead Neanderthals could possibly be amused by this pop junk?' Normies don't have the capacity to even begin to comprehend or wrap their heads around what we do. This video is AMAZING!!! Guys, the way y'all actually were keeping pocket WHILE busting the sickest chops it's just superhuman!!! I'm a veteran guitarist, 28 years pro, I NEED a drummer. PLEASE one of you holler at me. I'm busy with planning my next tour and good drummers are really scarce where I'm at..

It's fucked up how amazing they all are. Best wishes to all them really. They've cooked their talent with top flavors and it shows.

Very nostalgic for me to watch. I was there 20 years ago :) Have fun guys, Enjoy Boston. And have a plan for after school.

Drum sheds are paramount for discovering your hidden skills and techniques

All these players are AMAZING and have pure talent and different styles. The guy in the yellow shirt and red looking drums I'm digging his energy and vibe/skillz! All are definitely going places! Nice to see good music staying alive.

Wow, dont understand (presumably) other drummers shitting on these players. They are all clearly playing at an extremely high level and enjoying both their instrument and being in a community of players. This very modern gospel chop style of playing isnt my thing - mainly because I'm still trying trying to develop the vocabulary, mechanics and speed to be able to incorporate these kind of licks into my expression. Anyone hating surely must realise how bloody hard it this stuff is, not just to execute, but to internalise to a point you can play it in a natural musical expression - tightly to a click and backing track no less! I see this video and 40% of me feels bad about my playing because I cant do, most, if not all, of this. The other 60% is inspired to become a better player than I was yesterday. Respect to these guys, theyre killing it.

bro i have never been so hype in my life watching them all jam out

Whoever that is on the red DW in the first clip reminds of when I used to see Fred Boswell on the Berklee Sheds. He's got the same energy in his playing.

One of these drummers was really musical. Love to hear more of them

All of these people were straight up Animals! This this shed was definitely a shred shed. 👏🏼👏🏼

I just put this at x .75 speed and it sounds cleaaaan 😭🙌🏽 I can never comprehend fills and ostinatos, truly talented to have such a pleather of rhythmic-input

Props to the person doing the camera work!🤘

Queue all the haters who don't like fast chops in 3...2....

Thanks for puttin yourselves out there! Y’all are monsters!!!

In these comments: people who can't shed or keep up with what's actually going on. Remarkable talent, stamina, and creativity.

I have a challenge for the next iteration. For each round limit the orchestration to a maximum of 3 instruments on the set …. E.g kick/hihat/tom1….. snare/tom2/ ride bell…. Someone come up with a list of restrictions and let’s see what innovative sound combinations each musician can formulate on their pass…. Change the combo every eight rounds or so….. If I am to be critical of this video it will just be the first part where everyone only seemed to play 1/16, 1/16T or 1/32 notes with NO space… but to be fair everyone did settle in a bit more with dynamics and variations with use of space in between. Advice: when in these sheds play to show your ideas and innovation…. Not primarily to show that I can play as fast and complicated as everyone else. YOUR creativity comes first, what everyone else thinks is their business. Keep at it.

Berklee in EVERY sense of the word 😂

That metronome be hectic AF!

why are so many people hating in the comments? these guys are amazing, and theyre having tons of fun doing what they love. dont be jealous!

The level in that room was insane! I used to live in a drum house in London that was very similar to this! I miss it! Excellent effort guys!

All these drummers are incredible

Power challenges like this make great players with stage confidence. Gotta do it.

I’ve been playin for about 8 years- This is unbelievable, what resources do these guys have? What are they doing that I’m not doing? Are they practicing for double digit hours everyday? Anyone with any knowledge, please respond. I want to be able speak to other musicians in this way!

I really enjoyed listening to all these ideas!! Would also have been sick to see berklee musicians shed with xavier ware for example lol

Nice to see an Asian. thanks to Black american drummers for bringing that style to the world

so fun! wear earplugs guys! cymbals and drums are loud

Awesome! That's a lot of serious choppers, so many sick drummers. love it.

Loved the creativity of the Asian dude

Looks like Fun 🔥 Give the Drummer Sum

Damn it’s guitar center x4

So many people here discouraging these very cool musicians. Very sad to see. Get a life and let others express themselves on their instrument. There's a reason it's called "playing"

There’s too many critics in the comments, like it’s never that deep

LFGGGGG!! Still remember the OG sheds. Good to see this ish baaaack.

The guy in the ice cube hoodie is killer 😤😤😤😤

Seeing sheds like this make me even practice more and 2x than ever. Keep it ish up!

This so cool! We’ll have to come to Berklee and sponsor a shed

Why is everyone in the comments hating so bad?

The best shed in all of youtube.

White girl with the blonde hair is Payton Taylor she’s a pretty good drummer as well

this always brings a smile to my face, thank you

Bro In the yellow shirt is amazing but bro be honest how many Red Bulls and Five hour energy’s did u throw back before this shed my manz had wings😂😂😂😂

The female drummer in the white top and jeans sounds different than everyone else. To me, she stood out stylistically.

DAMN! i just got cooked by the absolute fuckn HEAT that i'm hearing

this inspired me to never play drum again

Damn... a room full of inspired drummers - mucisians! Keep working guys.! Great work

It’s always cool to hear what gospel chops are brewing in Berklee. It’s hard to ignore how rich and spoiled these kids are but it’s all good. The goal is to have more great musicians to collaborate with.

Magnifico.⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️

Damn I should’ve gone to Berklee 😭

dope always wanted to be in a shed

Bad comments haters will never do better 😂

Right to yellow tee the black tee playing is majestic/// if agre please do like or comment

The girl in the White T shirt had such a clean and precise style and made everything she did look easy

OK!!! Who is the "insensitive for poses" Black t???? they got some LOVELY stuff goin on here :D Also dude on that 5:30 mark, beautiful save at the end with the trips :D **Screams and runs out of the room**

This is shocking to me and makes me want to practice hard

The cameraman is the only one following the timing, he or she is good😅

Gospel chops

They all kinda sound the same. Killer technical stuff but it gets old quick.

@12:11 Came here just for the thumbnail...

sit down dillon 😭

ice cube shirt guy played CIRCLES around everyone

Boomers watching this and making holier than thou statements about how all the ideas sound the same, there's no subtlety, only pocket makes money, etc... 1) this style is a language, just like bebop, funk, etc. 2) it's f'ing fun and builds vocabulary 3) half these kids probably grew up playing pro-environment gigs in church and are gonna be nationally touring with pop stars. i guarantee you they can out-pocket any one of you guys. Also, literally go watch the video of the dude who posted this vid playing Thriller and tell me that ain't pocket.

yellow guy.

Never been so underwhelmed by so many ‘chops’… seems they had a blast though.

AND THE WINNER IS ... THE DUDE IN YELLOW !!!

Last time I saw one of these, KZfaq had zero ads.

My favourite one so far

Super badass.

bruh 3:35 got me shook

29:07 this part shows what they actually doing

How can she play like 😮😮😲😲😲😦

A escola americana 🥁🇺🇸 é braba demais

Is this the first grade class?

unbelievable

How is it possible for an hour to pass in 35 minutes on the clock in the background?

Try watching it at double speed lol

I got next!

Those chops are that kind, that mostly all the jazz snob drummers cannot stand, when there is that enormous talent's in the same room. That's why i've heard that those jazz snobs didn't liked Berklee no more in the 80's, cause there was so much better drummers, as these jazz snob drummers would ever dream of.

Your assumption that the negative comments dont understand a shed is plain silliness.

I play keys and I'm over here just trying to figure out what the purpose of the metronome was...

That metronome with the woman humming, what song is rhat. She saying “la la lala, la la lala”

Literally only clicked because I seen what was in the corner

Drums sound pokpok dead,no nuances ,no space maximum speed, volume and tension .No one as à distinctive musical identity. It's not music it's olympic game

This is sick

The Trash Crash ,Bell and Splash are in...

If only we could harness all this energy to power things.

I like soooooooooooooooooo much DW really just ❤

A much different Berklee than I experienced. Each drummer display’s loads of talent, that’s my disclaimer for my next comment. This should titled as Blast Chop’s or beats. There’s literally something to get into hourly while attending Berklee, so I would hope this is a extra extra curricular side jam. No structure, absolutely no pocket drumming. When supporting an artist, and when they call to inquire “who’s a good fit”, I hope you have documented your ability to become a chameleon, to groove, to consistently lay down the solid foundation, play with superior dynamics, to be able to read charts, NNS, sight reading, nail those fill’s as the artist wishes, all while maintaining perfect tempo, both with and without click, sequence’s and being able to effectively start/stop those source’s as it’s often on the drummer. Or spend 4 year’s occupying a spot someone else from over 100 countries would give anything to have, and you will graduate and blend into the Gospel Chop/house of worship waiting list.

These comments have proved to me that music and musicians aren’t respected as much as I thought

awesome

2023?

Exellent,❤❤❤❤❤❤

21:39 meltdown remix

In my opinion DW is the best drums on the world infact

Dope

They all did amazing shedding but my favorite didn’t even go. That beast Payton Taylor, she a monster on the drums. She was the one wearing all Black.
