    Imagine being this in touch with your self, time, flow and restraint; that you can take yourself on a journey of boundlessly intuitive, feel-good creativity.
    It blows me away; the strength of presence focus and discipline during such a long solo.
    Wild.
    Borlai is absolute TOP tier.

    The thing I got most out of this solo is how purposeful the playing is.. everything has musical meaning and although he's a chop monster it's never chops for the sake of showing his chops.. dudes truly telling a cohesive story on the drums. To have that sense of musicality and restraint is masterful. Respect..

      Yea I watched it a few times. And I got something different out of it evrything. And I had mixed reviews. But after reading some of these comments from of some more experienced drummers I got a whole different take. First I thought he was great and unbelievable. Then I thought maybe not so much. But 0th0en0 I listened threw some nice headphones first. Then listened just from my cell phone alone. Yea didn't get much out of that. But pou all got some really got some really good opinions on the guys work.

    Drummers in the last 2 decades have pushed the boundaries of what's possible (on the kit) by focusing hard on technique - something snare/corps drummers have been doing for longer. Borlai is a shining example of someone who can incorporate these possibilities into musical expression. Rather than just being a technique master - someone who seeks only to impress - he uses technique as a tool. Appropriately.
    To me, that's just as impressive - and far more entertaining. Thanks for this, Drumeo!

      And here we go. Trying to quantify who beats who. Taking what individual monsters uniquely bring to the table and trying to compare them like a sport. Dumb. Gergo doesn't groove like keith carlock. Different styles. Vinnies rudiments are played only as he can. Marco minnemans 8ndependance is beyond belief. And so on. It degrades their talent. Having said that, If you ask them who has pushed what can be done on drums the most. Not better mind you. Just mind numbing skills, they have said its Virgil Donati.

    There are so many technically capable drummers around, but I think that many of them lack musicality. They sound as if they had been practicing alone without any musical contact to the outer world. Their soloing might be awesome but when they join with the other musicians their creativity tends to shrink into the size of raisin...
    But not with Gergo Borlai. Having heard him with Scott Kinsey's projects I think that Gergo is all about listening to the other players and playing in a context with the right amount of personal twist. He's not a gimmick guy even though he really could be one. And another thing... playing with Gretsch makes him really shine. I can say this even though I'm a die hard Sonor -guy :)
