Nobody watched that just one time
For sure!
I did it... but it's because it's the first time I watched it....
I did because I about had a damn seizure!…I listened to it more than once though lol
You are correct sir, it is indeed my 15th time watching this
I would straight up just listen to all his Mars Volta drum stems on repeat if they were available. That's the sign of a truly great drummer.
Damn, this guy is a powerful drummer.
The reason I loved TMV so much.
It hasn’t been the same since he left. I have a soft spot for deloused and Frances the mute
I love the Theodore albums, and think Bedlam is a masterpiece with some really cool song endings. I prefer their B-Sides album to their last two records, though.
Hell yeah! TMV is why Jon is one of my top 5 ever. Such a badass!
@@stevenmonte7397 what TMV?
@@adityarifqi5286 The Mars Volta. He played on first two albums.
My friend had the red, white and blue kit growing up in the 70's. It was badass! Jon is such a banger. One of my faves.
Love Jon Theodore! He makes me want a vistalite. Your marketing ploy is working Ludwig.
His grooves on the Lion album are infectious. Technical in away u can’t deny but also very listenable and not completely over your head .
Huge fan of this dude. Feel extremely lucky to be floored by him when seeing him a couple times live with Golden in early 2000's . Deloused is a high water mark by any musician's standard in my opinion. Hoping he stays w QOTSA and is allowed to run free. Awesome
I often wonder how different bedlam would sound if he was playing on it. I love TP, but JT’s bombastic kick patterns are otherworldly.
not many people know he also played the drums in red dead redemption 2
Now that’s how you do it Ludwig ❤️🔥! Got to keep the classics 🥁 rocking and rolling, sets the brand apart. Quality old-school is the way to go! 🤘🏻
One of the best. I really wish One Day as a Lion would put out some new music 🤘🤘🍻
What a killer demo. Couldn't think of a better drummer and track to show off these drums. Absolutely fantastic!! Best drummer alive.
Greatest rock drummer to ever breathe.
Shut up.
@@Qixo_ Jon Theodores work on the first Mars Volta album is better than anything Bonham has done and I’m a huge LZ fan
You clearly have never heard of Metz
Jon is great but Danny Carey exists so I'm not sure about this statement...
@@Qixo_ I'm so sorry to hear that, I hope you get well soon.
There is just SOMETHING about Jon. Something that makes him so unique and interesting to listen to.
I could listen to a whole album of just him. When The Mars Volta had him, it was truly a special mix. Now that he does his own thing that is not really my bag, I would still listen just because of the way he plays the drums. He is truly an amazing musician .
I think exactly the same. In my opinion, when Jon plays the percussion, for me he is the drums, not the drummer, but the drums. a little fucked up what I wrote, but I can not describe it otherwise. He is my inspiration from the moment I saw the Golden concert. I love him 🤧🤧🤧😃
It’s apparent early on in a track if a drummer is “single stroke based” or “double stroke.” And this dude kills this. Single stroke heaven
I played loud again and again and again. My favourite drummer ever.
That striped red/yellow kit looks absolutely fabulous. 😱
This is one of my favorite Jon Theodore beats! If he did “Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt” or “Viscera Eyes” I would’ve lost my mind…
man i miss mars volta
Real Mars Volta with Jon right??? Me too man me too.
@@JoshZeiglerdrums just mars volta ion general every era. all their music is aweomse
Hell yeah, saw TMV live with Jon @ The Greek Berkley 2005 -some epic jams. He has such a unique combo of power / soft touch.
Absolutely love it! Ludwig Drums and Jon Theodore, so cool, classy and modern. Yes!!
No!! Theodore is boring. He sounds like machine: a lot of noise, but no soul.
@@bebobalula lmao. No.
@@bebobalula You clearly never heard him in The Mars Volta
Soul ? what a joke you're not know the mean of music @@bebobalula
he don't have taste in this music bro@@Childofbhaal
Phenomenal drummer and phenomenal drums. Superb ad, Ludwig
i know this an ad, but god damn ludwig really knows how to get me to want to buy something.
Im going to buy one just because him
This guy is awesome - power, control and class... My Ludwig Vistalite kit is ordered.
Excellent Ludwig &Jon Theodore!🥁😎🥁
hell yeah Mr Throdore absolutely killing it again, really love those heavy hitting rudiment grooves, sounds beastly on those vistalites!
I freaking love this video. John Theodore is such a great drummer and he really inspires me. On top of that I’m ready to buy a Ludwig Vistalite every time I watch the video - untill I see the prices. But maybe one day.
Intense!! Congrats at 50 years of this iconic design.
Excellent work - a superb advert. Great kit(s), great track, great drummer. Really well put together with some lovely graphics. Also bonus points for the pun at the end.
What a drummer!!! Absolutely loved your performance, amazing energy!!!!! :)
JT is the main reason never put another rack Tom on my kit again once I reduced it to 1. It truly showed me how to use the kit with your talent instead of spending hours tuning vs practicing and becoming a better drummer in the end. Top 3 drummers of all time in my book.
Was listening to one day as a lion, and made me think of Theodore’s brilliant drumming r. Looked him up on CZcams and this was the first video.
Sickkkk! 50 years, how 'bout that! One of my favorite drummers of all time too, at least from the modern era. Been a big fan since Deloused by The Mars Volta came out. 🤘 Always wanted a set of Vistalites, but not necessarily vintage ones. My pops had a blue set, but they had issues. That's so cool you guys reissued the spirals and tricolored shells too! Hopefully the solid colors are seamless. Anyway, great to see these brand new! 😎
One of my top favorite albums there. His playing on Deloused is perfect
I was a year old when vistalites came out. First time I saw vistalites was on Zeppelin's Song Remains The Same. Then it was solid color acrylic with black and white stripes with Alex Van Halen. There's no more to be said. Sound speaks for itself.
Something about smooth jazz that just makes me relax.
Always my favorite
Yes...I want ALL of them.
I love this!!!! 😎👍🏻🥁
Sick groove, seems simple at first but the hi hat accents are tricky and awesome
Jon Theodore is a ghost note master, my friend. Love how he makes it seem easy and then you try to play what he’s playing and you immediately notice something is missing.
@@NotMyWar as someone trying to piece together the ghost notes of the "my hands secrete a monument" beat on the Mars Volta song Day of the Baphomets, I couldn't agree more.
@@NotMyWar he is also almost always keeping time with the left foot, no matter how complex the beat - or if he is playing on the hats with his right hand or not!
@@flkfnd I wish you the best with learning that.
The best drums🥁 ever!
Ludwig Drums
Just an absolute beast.
Beautiful. For me, anything less than a 24” kick in a Vistalite is criminal! Go big or go home with this set up!🤘🏻🤘🏻
I think the same thing!26 or nothing!
F#@k yeah! Ludwig all the way. That kit sounds killer!!
Defenetly good!💪🏼 Theodore top🙏👌🏻
I love my Vistalite ❤️👏
Hell yeah!!!!🥁🥁🥁🥁😎😎🤘🏻🤘🏻
Jon Theodore and a Vistalite kit is fucking awesome! That is THE sound.
Ludwig' best drums ever
the best of the best. Ludwig tu su sabes promocionar tu producto.
Great sound and colours, I want a set now🙏🏻
God damn man! Fkn badass!!
I already have a set of amber vistalites but I reallly dig that red white and blue set 😍 🇺🇸
Dope!
Such a powerful and heavy and heavy as metal, but in its own way. The goat for sure
red/white/blue look incredible omfg
Right on! It would be kool to see a fogged acrylic, or a shower door style acrylic kit like what Fibes had. Or a sparkle over whatever colour, still being see through. Though I’ve always wanted to put a wrap over an acrylic kit.
OK, that was dope.
I had to click on this one because I knew with John and Ludwig he was not going to do the Bonzo thing. Every time you see a Ludwig vistalite kit it's always Bonzo Bonzo Bonzo. Jesus already he was great but enough!!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
AWWW YEAH!!!
Love Vistalite drums..always wanted a set and picked up a 1976 vintage 4-piece kit a few years ago in clear blue my favorite Vistalite color. (no matching snare..just the bass, two rack toms and a floor tom). Hope they've solved the shell cracking issues with the 'reissues' I found a shell crack in the 9 x 13" tom it still plays well. This guy is a heavy hitter I've read that the reissue series are much improved as to durability.
Jon Theodore man.
This deserves the widely known and highly coveted, the ultimate compliment to any rhythm section musician....STANK FACE
That's what's Up!!!
Absolute Beast, Hell yeah. I have a 6.5x14 Hammered Brass Supraphonic, it'll put a hole in your chest.. saving up for some of these acrylics, they sound incredible live.
Beast
I really like these.
Been thinking about acrylics for awhile and that video was awesome. Think a little less strobe would have been better to see all the different shells which would be the hardest part in choosing because the all looked incredibly sexy.
Love Ludwig drums and I ain't ever changing that.
Excellent Like and Subscribed here.
Green looks clean, lean, and mean!
last letter❤️
legend
BEST
When is one day as a lion putting out a full length album?
👍🤘🤘
I'm not even a drummer but get me some of those Bonham greens.
If you haven’t ever listened to “one day as a lion” you are really missing out. Zack (RAGM) side project.
😍😍
One day as a lion.
🙌🏽🔥❤️😍💫🥁
No LED kit to light them up from the inside?
One the best drum track ever! Love this 🙌🏻 who have a drum notes or tabs? Please answer here 🗿
Just do it the old school way.. Play along, with some headphones on. 😉
@@R3TR0R4V3 it sucks approach in our time. many tracks not having notes or tabs many can 't play. for the reason that there is not having notes or tabs. your advice is a stick in the wheel from a loser. I'm sure you don't know how to play this track yourself. and even using your advice you won't show it
🥳🥁🎉
BEAST- ALITE..
👊
Love the Red, White and Blue kit!
Only wish Gerhardt "Jerry" Fuchs was still around to do the second Vistalite video. RIP
Any time you see a 90s iMac or a Nintendo 64, just remember Ludwig did it 25 years earlier.
When can we start ordering them?
why have i not heard this before
I quit playing drums in 2011.
I'm 34. This has rekindled my passion.
Thank you, Jon.
Nice one, what's the cymbal setup?
Б Р А В 🍥 !
Fun! Can I has?😃
Getting that Capt America kit
Foda 🤟🇧🇷
My favorite Jon Theodore groove, but why are there not any close mics on the kit?
Kit was pre-recorded for a cleaner look and color alternations. Jon is that much of a machine that he got it exactly right for every take after for the visual.
Niiiiiiiccccce!!!! Question.......Are the Ludwig acrylics their own making, or are they crafted and made by RCI acrylic drums? Also, were they able to eliminate the seam like Pearl did with their acrylics?
Ludwig acrylic made in the USA. RCI has nothing to do with it. All vistalites have re-inforced seams.
@@Ludwigbeatmarket
Thank you for your input. I was asking because I heard that RCI was also making acrylic shells for other drum companies. I had recently checked out Pearls Crystal Beats acrylic drums. Was told they were a poured seamless solid mold. Curious how these new Ludwig Vistalite acrylics solved the problem with the seam breaking loose, as they were sometimes known for having that problem in the 70's.
They look incredible, and sound outstanding!!!
🤘🏻🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🤘🏻
The green one sounds better. :-)
did he play vistalites with mars volta? i thought it was a DW acrylic not ludwig. Pridgen plays DW's, i know that.
you can buy his exact drum kit but you'll never sound like the man himself
だいすき
Can someone please form a decent band with this guy. Such an imaginative player.
he is being wasted with the dad rock band queens of stone age
