Check out the microphones used in your favorite Drumeo videos (Earthworks x Musora) ► https://earthworksaudio.com/musora _______________ Some say he’s the next Buddy Rich. Others think he’s a social media sensation. Either way, Greyson Nekrutman is definitely not your regular 19-year-old. Greyson decided in high school that instead of partying and hanging out with his peers, he’d sneak off to practice drums at lunch. He’s sacrificed a lot to get to where he is today: a young Big Band drummer with hundreds of thousands of online followers and growing gig opportunities. There aren’t many modern drummers who play the style popularized during the golden age of drummers. Influenced by Big Band and jazz legends like Sonny Payne, Louie Bellson, Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Max Roach and Art Blakey, as well as players in other styles like Carter Beauford, Mitch Mitchell and Ginger Baker, Greyson does a great job taking notes from his heroes while developing his own identity as a drummer. It might be hard to believe that a capable player like Greyson would be met with criticism, but he’s already encountered his fair share. He says it pushes him harder and reminds him that he’s doing something different. He’s setting out to prove people wrong, whether it’s those who don’t like what he’s doing or those who rejected him from music school. In this video lesson, Greyson shows you how he plays Buddy Rich’s legendary one-handed rolls and how he puts together drum solos – and shares a vulnerable side as well. ►FREE 7-DAY TRIAL https://www.drumeo.com/trial-yt Chapters: 0:00 – SONG: “Caravan” by Duke Ellington (Arranged by Chris Fischer)* 2:10 – Drum Solo 9:32 – SONG: “Caravan” by Duke Ellington (Continued) 11:18 – Introducing Greyson and his influences 18:10 – How to play Buddy Rich’s one-handed roll 28:18 – Drum Solo 32:24 – Breaking down the solo 37:00 – Getting compared to Buddy Rich 43:31 – How his childhood illness and music school rejections fueled him 49:15 – Was Buddy Rich the greatest drummer of all time? 50:57 – “Trajectory” by Chris Fischer Thanks to Chris Fischer for arranging “Caravan” for this live lesson.
