hi my name is Marthyn Jovanovic I'm a drum teacher and in this video I'm gonna
be reacting to and analyzing a live drum cam video from Mario Duplantier from
Gojira playing the song toxic garbage island
yeah let's start off first thing he hits really really hard he got a basic metal
setup so 2 kick drums 1 snare drum 2 rack toms one floor tom it's actually not
a big Tom setup nowadays you see a lot of drummers who use 3 rack toms and
two floor toms so this setup is pretty basic not that big
hi-hat ride two crashes in the front to China's one extra crash to the right
side so pretty basic setup Tama drums and he uses DW bass drum pedals
you can see he's using a French grip with right and left hands his thump is facing
up he's using a full arm motion so he's using his shoulders his upper arm and
his forearm to hit the crash with the right hand his crash cymbals are placed really
high so if he would be using the German grip it would be even harder to crash to
cymbals since he's using the French grip it's a bit easier that way to
crash the cymbals that are placed that high
he's playing lots of ghost notes on the snare but unfortunately during the verse
you can't hear them because of the crash cymbals being so loud they disappear in
the mix
now you can hear the ghost notes
he's playing some tasty stuff there so it's too bad that you didn't hear them
before
all right let's talk about his foot technique for a bit as I said before
he's using DW bass drum pedals he is burying the beater he is leaning forward
and what's really interesting is that his foot is placed really far to the
front part of the foot board and he's using a classic heel up motion mix of
hip flexors and calf muscle and basically what he does is he's running
on the pedal so if we would remove his bass drum pedals I think he would still
be able to play the same stuff that he does here now his bass drum technique
looks basically like this mix of hip flexors and calf muscles he's running on
the pedals lots of ghost notes
you can see when he's playing double bass at these tempos
he's not getting a big beater swing out of each bass drum stroke but he still
hits really hard and the reason for that is that he's sitting number one he's
sitting really close to his bass drum pedals and to his bass drum so a lot of
his the weight of his upper leg is placed above the bass drum pedal so it's
easier to really put in a lot of power a lot of extra weight and since
he's hitting with his hip flexors and calf muscles all the time he's able to
get a lot of power out of each bass drum stroke without
getting a big beater swing out of it
as you can see here his crash cymbals are really really high so again it's
hard to hit them he's using French grip this makes it a bit easier
the big advantage he has that there's a big distance between the crash cymbals
and the Tom's especially the microphones from the Tom's so the crash cymbals
don't blend into the tom microphones that much it's easier to mix that way
the disadvantage is that you have a bigger distance to cover from the snare
drum or from the Tom's to the crash cymbals
again the food is placed on the front part of the foot board all the time
not getting a big beater swing but still a lot of power he's not using a bass drum
trigger leaning forward
let's talk about his ride cymbal for a bit he is playing zildjian cymbals and his ride
cymbal has this extra Big bell he's playing lots of accents on this ride
and especially on the bell which sounds great he also likes to use some paradiddle
patterns paradiddle with the hands along with the feet inverted paradiddles and he's
playing the accents mostly on the Bell and the bell just sounds amazing
his toms are tuned really low this means you have to hit them hard to
get a good sound out of them he's using French grip- using this wrist turning
motions there's a lot of forearm involved a lot of muscle groups involved in there
he gets a lot of power out of each stroke if you would just use finger technique
like this it would be very hard to get a good sound out of those toms
now he's leaning forward when he's playing double bass every time he plays
double bass he's leaning forward if he's playing just even faster eighth notes
with one foot he doesn't lean forward because his other
foot works like his human kickstand so it's easy to keep the
balance there as soon as he starts to play double bass he's leaning forward
like that and he's burying the beater what you can see here that's also really
interesting is every time he starts a bass drum pattern or shortly before he
starts the bass drum pattern he leans forward he pushes the bass drum beater
against the bass drum head this is like his ready position so now he's ready to
play the double bass part and then he starts playing with this tempo if you
count like
he's leaning forward at there four and one and two and three and four and one and two and
three and four and pay close attention it's really interesting
one and two and three and four and one and two
yes like that he's getting ready for every bass drum pattern
really nice drumming from Mario great drummer great band
