Can any other drummer play this song?

Featured Replies

I can't wrap my head around this drummers ability to play what appears two different time signatures at the same time.  Its Crack The Sky doing a song called 'Ice"

The things drummers can do make my head hurt. Shifting time signatures is pretty standard fare in prog rock, or even something like Zeppelin's Four Sticks which switches between 5/8 and 6/8. Thanks I really enjoyed the video!

My son is a professional drummer who also teaches (he has a B.Mus. in Jazz Studies), and he's described to me just this very scenario. As Barry said above, it makes my head hurt just trying to follow along when he explains it.

By the way, I find it ironic that when he was in elementary and high school, he found mathematics difficult, but as a professional, he does all sorts of complicated math in his head without thinking as he's drumming.

There was a 50's band Bill Black's Combo where the drummer and bass played exactly the same rhythm to deepen the beat. Black can be heard on all the early Elvis Presly hits.

Somehow I think either of these two guys could handle it.....

I guess my title was a long shot.  I literally wanted to see any other drummer play that song cause its the one song I simply can't comprehend how its possible to play.  But I have to guess that for drummers its probably pretty routine stuff... thats why they're drummers! and Im not.

@W2DR - I don't know why I thought you were going to post something more recent like Neil Peart or evn John Bonham.  But the big band sound - yes, very cool.

Im not sure what this qualifies as but I love it:
