Meinl Cymbals - JP Gaster - 'In Walks Barbarella'

JP’s Meinl Cymbals setup from left to right, if sitting behind the kit, is as follows:

15” Byzance Vintage Pure Hihats
20” Byzance Dark Crash
24” Byzance Traditional Medium Ride
22” Byzance Extra Dry Thin Ride

Meinl needs to hold seminars for studio engineers on how to record drums. I am consistently blown away by the clarity of their mixes, especially the cymbal mixes. I realize this vid is to demonstrate their cymbals and the natural instinct would be to just mix the cymbals louder, and that's okay in a cymbal demonstration vid, but this mix is awsum in totality

I could watch JP drum all day, everyday!

JP chewin air! By far one of the best. So much power and control

[severihanninen]

One of the grooviest drummers in the business. God damn beautiful!

[Studerphil]

I love watching this guy. Perfect timing and he just grooves so hard!

[crestiferj]

the 21st century bonham. jp's groove and pocket and feel and flow and dynamics and musicality are just at the top of the game. he plays with such power and authority and is never bashing the hell out of the drums. just playing with perfect execution and efficiency and he always sounds so great.

GASTER. IS. THE MASTER. Awesome groove. The drum sound is incredible and the cymbals are like velvet.

[drsmainemusic]

Goddamn JP is my favorite drummer! I love Clutch but I could seriously watch JP alone in a room just grooving for hours on end.

[perkules]

JP's got them filthiest grooves I know. Also that hi-hat sounds fantastic

[heathpass]

Jp is the groove master. He is by far the best drummer of all time. PROVE ME WRONG...not fancy but driving like a drummer should. Clutch has always been a tight unit and these guys are always throwing it down every show for over 30 years now. Nothing better than Clutch

[simonebianchini]

My favourite drummer! his timing is simply unbelievable...love him! J.P. Gaster from Clutch

[JanPatrickLucas]

Funkin' Awesome! Thanks JP for another inspiring dose! You know the drummer's doing his job when youy feel like dancing to an alternative hard rock band!

[TrackDrums]

Such a fantastic feel and groove. One of my favourite drummers!

JP makes it look effortless. One hell of a drummer in one hell of a band.

JP is the shit. I love watching this dude groove. I've seen them a few times at small clubs and I just love how relaxed he is. Golf shirt and all ;-)

[jackhaighdrums]

I was so happy when this got uploaded! My fave clutch song, JP killed it, can’t wait to see them in June, love it!🙏

[seapicklerick]

Jp honestly is a god with the sticks like my dad introduced me to clutch a couple years back and jp is now my favorite drummer and I am trying to become a drummer because of him

[BobSchoepenjr]

Great sound! Nice hand technique too, very powerfull but relaxed!

[jasonglasmann]

he may not be held up there with the Titans, but not one single person grooves like he does. he has that spunk, just balls deep in the pocket.
