    The South Park guess is not wrong. 🤷🏻‍♂ Thanks, Kaz! for taking on the not-so-easy task to come up with a part for this song. You can play along with this and many other Primus songs inside Drumeo - Click on the link to get started: www.drumeo.com/trial.
  • @CptSoundBeard
    "Here, Kaz is practicing active listening." Kaz: visibly confused, possibly no longer breathing
  • Never noticed how much the drums really fill the space in Primus songs. Every person in that band is a wizard.
  • @Mythki11er
    No one is ready for Primus the first time
  • @jeffwise6937
    Making people listen to Primus without a drum track is unhinged
  • @brennank1254
    I love that he does the whole session in leather jacket and scarf like he just walked into the session after getting coffee
  • @JUNKO____
    This might be the most clothes I've ever seen a drummer wear behind a kit.
  • @Ekklo
    That double time near the end changed the vibe in an understandable and interesting way. Jerry was, after all, a race car driver. Neat touch!
  • @TheManhattan75
    Drumeo : Here, Kaz is practicing active listening Kaz : what the fuck
  • @user-zd7ps7do8k
    That final take is magic. Really incredible how well he “heard” that without hearing it. 🙌🏻
  • @Ratsofat
    This is absolutely one of the most, if not THE most, challenging challenges you've challenged a drummer with. Cruel and awesome.
  • @johnh5424
    I may have missed it, but it would be nice to have the drummer introduce themselves and tell us a bit about who they are and their musical background.
  • I am loving the hell out of every choice Kaz makes for this song. What a creative dude! I love how a Primus song brings out his weirdness in ways that bear little resemblance to the original track.
  • As a Primus fan since I was in Junior High, it always puts a smile on my face when someone listens to them for the first time! 😂
  • @ModernBuilds
    The fact he said it was like south part 🔥🤯🔥
  • @the_mochiking
    Hell yes. Hearing those isolated tracks really accentuates how important the drums are in Primus. Kaz basically got dropped into the middle of some sort of alien noise ritual and did a fantastic job of turning it (back) into a song.
  • I'm not a musician, I do know songs follow a certain rules as in the rhythm and cadence for most part but these videos blow me away with how so many of these guys hit it out of the park
