Moonlight Sonata 3rd movement = sick intro to a rock song

[EMCproductions]

7:21 is called the One-Handed Casey Claw.

[JustinDrichel]

Man all these people are inspiring. Tog playing those insane chops with a broken pedal at his first festival. That one dude playing on a pot head I assume. Just all those people inspired me to keep going same for you Zack

[fimnh]

8:50 The way Zack looks over to Nathan while so hyped only to see his brother being so sophisticated and calm, then looking back and then also being calm is hilarious to me

[roberttrevino]

This man would rather give away a ps5 than another cymbal. That’s a true musician

[WillsChannel]

11:18 Zack literally grooved to moonlight sonata without realising it

[samchatsc]

nothing is more sensual than when zack stares you directly in the eye whilst grooving

[bpm]

8:16 it’s a variation on the Casey Claw, which is like playing a double stroke roll but you do the weird claw grip in one hand to play doubles. the difference is that with what he’s doing, he plays three notes in one motion
so what you do is you death grip the stick in the middle and learn the two-way casey claw, which is what i was just talking about; you hit the butt then the tip of the stick with the claw hand in one motion by rotating the wrist. then, to get the one-handed claw, you get rid of the other hand and with the claw hand, you play butt-tip then add an extra butt at the end by rotating back the other direction. then you repeat, butt-tip-butt butt-tip-butt

That guy with the fanning technique was so good, I did it in marching band where we would fan the top drums on the tenors, I've never seen it done that well

[uphillracer]

Louis Cole also did a one handed 16ths on the hihat.. but this guy here does something ELSE with triols... beautiful

[adrianlopez]

“Razor blades in my bedroom … waiting for meee” 😂😂 had me dying at the end

[verticalslab]

The hi-hat technique is called a Casey claw and is primarily used in marching. There are many good tutorials on youtube

[Beefnhammer]

That hi-hat trick was nuts. It was like the hand equivalent of that weird kick pedal that exists that's a single pedal but has 2 beaters on it so when the pedal pulls back, the second beater hits the drum so you get 2 notes for every one stroke.

[LudwigNL]

The drumpart at 12:07 is actually from the song Awe At All Angles from Moon Tooth. Still nice though!

[declanwhite]

5:56 " who hurt you... who" lines up with the kit reaaal nice

[Leonlion]

Man. I still love how Zack just _groove_ when he play. One of the few drummers who still makes drum set interesting for me.
So cool to see Casey Claw incorporated in drum set. Wonder how many other drumline tricks we can use in drum set

[diode_wow]

Came to watch chops, ended up watching a paranormal video. So many ghost notes! I love it!

[Albeit_Jordan]

1:50 damn those are some sensitive hi hats, those are the kind of hats that'd ask you how your day was and give you flowers n shiz

[floogzie]

In my darkest times, you always remind me there is a light in this world to look forward to seeing someday. Thank you Zack.

[rossrobey]

Love the positivity when a solid-chopper digs others skills!!!!
