What Gergo said about improvising being a conversation, really resonated with me. I played for 30 years and it improve was so natural.
I stopped playing. Since then I have felt incomplete. It's so weird to feel that way.

Another great thing about your channel is that I get to learn about guys like this who fly under my radar. I’m a headbanger at heart but I really enjoy watching guys like this.

I first saw a video of Gergő playing to Frank Zappa's Keep It Greasy (the bit in 19/16) and was immediately hooked. Brilliant drummer! 🤘🙂👍

I was helping out a friend who was providing and tuning pianos for the Hamburg Jazz Festival a while ago. A trad trio played an OK set and were followed up by a band with a drummer who played like Gergő. About a minute into the first number, at least half the crowd left.

That for me was the sign of a challenging musician who knew how to take risks and would confront people with drumming that is anything but 08/15.

So happy to see this interview as he is a very inspirational musician.

Gergo, thank you for mentioning John Blackwell. I knew him personally and was able to hang out with him a lot and he was an incredible drummer and pocket player who could blow your mind with fast chops too. He always played to the music, just like you do. That's what I appreciate about your playing and the decisions that you make in a song. Thanks, Gergo! You're the best!

Awesome to hear him praising PANTERA! Would love to hear him play in that heavy groovy metal context someday, he would crush it. Maybe he has in the past??
