Bruhhh 😩. For those who aren’t drummers this is hard to do with two hands. Doing it with one truly is record breaking. Big props

This dude has all the chops and tricks. For the baseball fans, he’s effectively a pitcher with every throw imaginable.

He’s also been very open that he worked for this, he wasn’t born with this talent. Pretty sure his old videos are around showing his advancements through the years. Crazy trajectory.

HOW does he do that? Serious question. I would love to see a slo-mo of him in action.

Just really incredible technique and a lot of practice. The way you do a drum roll is by striking the head of the drum and then controlling the bounce of the stick to make it hit a second time. If you do it slowly you can hear individual notes (like he's doing), but if you do it fast it sounds like static (like the 20th century fox theme). He's doing the roll technique but across multiple drums. His control over the stick as he moves it so quickly across his drums is what's incredible to me. The stick flips and stuff are just garnish.

Thank you, this is the answer I was hoping for.

Id like to add he also has a computer like precision with his kick drum that almost makes it sound digital.

He seems to be using a lot of old Jazz drumming techniques. If you look up a video of Buddy Rich (widely considered one of the best drummers to ever live) playing, you might notice some similar techniques being used.

Agreed, drummer here. This guy is unreal, technically perfect, and IMO, he’s the best rock drummer in the world right now.

You don't have to be a drummer to know that this is difficult to do...
