The most talented drummers will always be jazz drummers or any type of drummer who has a strong foundation in jazz.

⁠@@mikuspalmisthe best drummers will always be the drummers that are just good, it has nothing to do with musical background because it only influences your writing style and how you learned, has nothing to do with skill

@@lukro. Having a strong foundation in jazz does affect skill because its intricacies and complicated patterns as well as an emphasis on dynamics. The most talented of the top drummers in the world and in history spent significant time playing jazz in their earlier years (that is if they didn't just play jazz their whole career or most of it). Sure, some people pick up skills quicker than others but no one is just good at drumming without putting in the work and jazz forces you to put in the work regarding the fundamentals and technical aspects. And of course, there are some drummers who are outstanding in their genres who don't have jazz in their background, maybe even considered some of the best, but you'll find the that the top drummers in those same genres that have early jazz experience are even more talented. The best drummers without jazz experience may be favorites within their genre and great to listen to and watch, and even play incredible things, but no drummer will be as versatile, adaptable, fluent, or expressive as a drummer with a jazz base. If a drummer doesn't have that but practices and focuses on those same fundamentals and technical aspects, without playing jazz, that could be an exception.

@@mikuspalmis being good doesn't mean you have to play jazz, use common sense

@@lukro. Please work on developing your reading comprehension skills so you can understand my previous comment.

playing so good people think you're a drum machine

who the flowerbox said they used drum maschinekurs? need rendering. re-ed. retread.

and gober to bass

Did you mean cross stick

@Andrew Vaillancourt ah my bad I was getting cross sticking and cross handed confused.

@Andrew Vaillancourt fair play dude. Congrats.I Havent done any drum grades/theory in about 15 years so im a a bit rusty lol.

@Andrew Vaillancourt Cross sticking and rim shots are two separate things.

@Andrew Vaillancourt No they're not. A rimshot is hitting the rim and Snare at the same time. cross sticking is resting the tip of the stick on the Snare and using the butt to tap on the rim. Are you trolling?

One of the epic youtube comments

Hell yea. Where can i see more lmao

Thanks Patrick!

Omg looked you up and found out that your albums is called new levels new devils and I wasn’t even trying to pun in the previous comment; this is going to work out! Haha

I feel like the bassist is second most known behind Tim. Gr he reason the drummer isnt as well known is cause they have switched them out a lot.

He's a beast. Deserves more recognition as a musician overall.

3 years later, "the Clays" are quite acclaimed.

The band is Polyphia and they are instrumental band

Is Clay A. even playing the crazy bass drum noises? I can't see his legs in this video. If he is surely he's triggering some weird percussion effect.

He did a killer job

@@Yeetuss kkkk so good
