ZackGrooves Hears Architects For The First Time
Рет қаралды 1,580,024
Күн бұрынZackGrooves is a KZfaqr, jazz drummer, and chops master.
He'd never call himself a rock or metal player - and that's exactly why we dared him to play "Doomsday" by modern metal/rock band, Architects.
Zack has never heard the song, let alone the band. We gave him the drumless track and asked him to come up with a drum part.
He said it's like nothing he's ever played. But his interpretation is refreshing and even gets surprisingly close to Dan Searle's original parts at times. From syncopated grooves to ghost notes and cool linear patterns, Zack made the tune his own.

Probably the minority here.... I'd much rather hear the entire drumless listen through with the drummer, especially if I don't know the song myself. It adds a little 1st person perspective if you don't know the song. You get to experience the creativity with the video, instead of just watching some drummer beast it out

He's freestyling like a maniac, it is actually really impressive. The original has such a specific rhythm, with a bunch of changes that really emphasize the flow of the song. At the second part before the bridge it was spot on (different, but excellent). I can't believe how well he managed himself through the song. The remarks at the end were really on point: Loud, impressive and consistant. Thanks for giving us this excellent version and taking the effort to make it uniquely yours!

The drum part in Doomsday has kinda always sounded to me like the rhythms of different kinds of guns (which I haven't researched if that was on purpose but it'd make sense for Doomsday) because they're different at parts of the song but so specific and exact/precise. I love his take as well. Never heard "guns" but he was just going at it and all the solos he did were really amazing.

I've got mixed opinions on this: To be clear, Love Zack, love this take - but we have to consider the practicality of ghosting all over the place live at a Metal concert. Would it cut through? Maybe. Maybe not. To agree with the point - doubling the guitar with the kicks has become a bit of an overused trope in metal. That said, One and Bleed are hills I will quite happily die on. To end - not hating Zack or this version - just saying that all that nuance and subtlety may not translate to a live performance.

I love this song so much. In case you didn't know, the song is about a member of the band that passed away young due to cancer. I've also lost a couple friends way too young to cancer so I can barely listen to this song without crying. But it was a pleasure watching you improv drums for the track. Thanks for the great content Zack.

I actually like what he did at 4:19 before the first chorus, instead of the silence, he does the crash, HHx3, Stackx4. You still get the quiet with the stack, but it adds some anticipation.

This channel has given me a new love and respect for these heavier genres that I’ve never been a huge fan of. But watching these guys listen to a drum dry track. Makes me close my eyes and imagine how I would have played it. Only played for about 4 years before I was paralyzed and wasn’t ANYWHERE close to the best. But listening to these people. Has given me so many more songs to put on my playlist. Absolutely love that I found Drumeo and even though I can’t play anymore it’s made me fall back in love with the drums! These blind play throughs are soo incredible!!

Are you quadriplegic or paraplegic? If you still have use of 2 of your limbs, I bet you could still make it work with the help of some creative equipment and a lotta heart (kinda like how Def Leppard‘s drummer didn’t give up after he lost an arm).
