WHIPLASH DRUM SOLO - GREYSON NEKRUTMAN

I proudly endorse Pearl Drums, Meinl Cymbals, Remo Drumheads, and Vic Firth Drumsticks

I'm a drummer and even I have no idea how this guy can replicate such complex, varied solo

[a_fake_koala]

The hardest part about this solo is remembering the whole thing

[oxfordmule]

To normal people it's really fast, but for drummers it feels like enternity

[nmjbender]

It’s insane how a microwave minute, a plank minute and a drum solo minute are somehow all equally long as hell

[Frejborg]

THIS is how a drum solo should be: technically challenging, but also passionate.
Insane chops are not enough.

[nicholasgrijalva]

I cant imagine how heartbreaking it'd be to miss that final crash when the instruments all joined in

[gel]

Greyson did a review on drum scenes in movies. Interestingly when reviewing this scene he talked about how the effort seemed over exaggerated and the facials were too intense. Yet here he is fighting for his goddamn life haha. Well done sir!

[metagordy]

You left out the most important part of this solo. Bleeding.

[gaz]

This man’s left hand has more strength than my whole body combined

[Aurid_art]

This scene was already impressive as a regular viewer, but now that I've started taking drum lessons I appreciate how batshit insane this solo is even more.

[SteveNathn]

Aside from everything else, I’ve played drums for 7 years and I find it insanely impressive that somebody can play as fast as 3:34 at singles

[YoloSwagging]

Even if you don't play drums this is insane, but as a drummer this is like seeing a ghost.

[skroodup]

Real testament to how difficult this piece is by how much he's sweating. Movie overdramatized it a bit with the blood, but that level of playing will cramp you SO fast. Damned impressive.

[DaInternetBear]

I never realised how long the solo actually went for. It was so captivating in the movie that you really just lose track of time. If you had asked me before watching this I would’ve told you it lasted maybe 30 seconds. Absolutely insane

Edit: I'm talking purely about the solo itself, not the entire piece of music. Note "How long the solo actually went for"

[sribaladevdas]

The coach’s reaction is priceless. Arrogant and caring at the same time.what a versatile actor he is

[hwiskie]

When Greyson looks at the screen and seems to smile as Fletcher looks smiling back at him. Goosebumps.

[constantinople]

to me, the most impressive part of the solo(besides memorization, and the speed with accuracy after the dip) has got to be dropping the tempo after your adrenaline has you in "go mode". to have to do that gracefully, is crazy to me. drummers with roots in jazz are always the most skilled imo

[xltsalad]

I cannot imagine how much time it mustve taken to learn this entire thing and record the entire thing with no mistakes

[sirbillygoat]

This guy deserves his own corner in the music world bro…

[matboi]

Always amazes me how drummer can replicate such complex, varied solos. The amount of information, not assimilated through harmonic or melodic language is incomprehensible to me.
