Not a drummer so IDK. Is this really that hard to do?

 

[_Brutalism_]

In my experience, yes. It takes a lot of practice and limb coordination, mainly to designate an independent role for each limb whilst keeping the big picture in mind. When playing a polyrythm the drummer must be able to focus on each limb individually without breaking the flow of whatever else is going on. If one isn't careful, it will sound like a mess, but played well its damn impressive and sounds really nice too.

Another video for you to check out, he definitely explains better than me :

Ok I thought about it and watched that vid and concluded my head would probably blow up trying to keep up with that.

Wonder if he can actually play a song!

the world's first? Is this guy fucking high? Im not buying that at all... not with all these great drummers to have played over the years.

Anyways.

This shit is Terry Bozzio, Marco Minnemann and Thomas Lang territory... they do the shit with groove in the middle of songs.
