I really dig that video of him with just the bass /snare cymbal thing - I think he gots a lot of chops and ability - just need to work on how to focus it into music.

I really like the second Meinl video - he seems to flow and groove better in that.

Good player - seems like a young gun - should be cool to see where he goes in terms of his playing...sometime he locks in wild.

I suggest you all to watch this video, because even if you don't like the original song you will be amazed by Jharis's drumming:

He has fast hands. Only thing I can really say without sounding like a dick. Not my cup of tea.

He's too modern for your taste?

I usually agree with you on your picks - but I can't get on board with what he's doing. It's almost unlistenable on some parts of the track.

I'd like his playing on that a lot more with no track at all in that Roxanne video.

He sounds like everyone else and that Roxanne cover or whatever it was was just awful.

Better listen to the usual old drummers, right?

Is it just me? That i saw visions of Tony Williams on his yellow gretsch kit?. It was busy but in a straight kind of way. I enjoyed the artistic side of a young talent and the picture he painted. It was waves on a calm ocean if that makes sence.

You asked, I replied. Being snarky because you don't like my answer is childish.
If I were blindfolded he sounds like almost every other YT drummer who is all chops for chops sake. It's about skill or technique and the music is an after thought. I find it unimpressive and boring.

 

[Keepgrooving]

I undestand. You prefer the usual old drummers.

Why is there music playing while he is just showing his chops?
