Louis Cole @louiscolemusic is an AMAZING drummer with an incredibly DISTINCT sound. In this episode, we listen to clips from 5 …

  1. I think that Louis's bass drum sound comes from Jazz tuning, every drummers from the Motown played with that sound, JB's drummer too, and way before Keith Carlock, with his open tuning Gary Novak did some great damage with Chick Corea.

    PS : and yeah "Red Hat", I really understand your admiration for Louis, but sometimes often you tend to put him in a situation where, as great musician he is, he knows he's not, because there is ALWAYS faster gun in the west side, as you know already there is some REALLY savage insane drummers out there, and some of them are great musicians too, not just AWESOME drummers.

  2. Watching these videos make me think “I wonder if the things they are saying is just overthought and the musicians are just playing how they play and don’t think into it”

  3. Can someone tell Louis it might be worth getting checked for Ehlers Danlos syndrome? Just on the off chance he has it and then accidentally permanently trashes his body like most of us do before we figure it out. Anyone with that body shape, hand shape, and the physical difficulties he describes, especially along with the ability to hyperfocus should get checked out. Even the dimples on his face and the shape of his brow, large Adam's apple, long thin face- that's such a distinctive EDS phenotype. See a specialist, not a general rheumatologist- they're mostly clueless about EDS.

  4. I love Louis Cole.

    Genuinely. I'm always happy to learn watching him, & as a guy who doesn't really emote in the MVs I've seen, his face truly lights up whenever he talks about anything related to drums & it's a beautiful thing to see

  5. Thank you so so much for doing thoses episodes on Louis Cole!! He is such a massive inspiration and a creative progressist, and he's so so humble! He doesn't show off a lot and it's so great to have content and some access to his magnificent mind 😀

  6. Y’all should bring more drummers but also bring a drummer to ask questions and discuss as well. Drumming is so different than any other instrument, it would really help to have drummers ask drummer questions.

  7. @25:13 Regarding how stiff & still Louis Cole looks when he's playing — I remember being actually surprised how loose and lively he was as a person when I saw him live. All his videos and lyrics gave me the impression of someone who was a little stiff, stilted, and ironically distant. A robot whose prime directive was the funk. But as this vid shows, he's much looser in person.
