REMATCH DRUM BATTLE /// LOUIS COLE vs NATE SMITH /// VULFPECK - Daddy, He Got a Tesla

Details

Description

Back in the end of June 2021, I put together a "Drum Battle" video between #LouisCole and #NateSmith playing with #Vulfpeck on "Daddy, He Got a Tesla." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kh18nlKJ7Es

Just this month (December 2021), Vulfpeck released the "lost" video of Louis rejoining Vulfpeck at #RedRocksAmphitheatre in April 2018, 17 months before the band climbed to the summit of #MadisonSquareGarden in NYC.

The Red Rocks arrangement is closer to the MSG version, but Louis' drum solo is much shorter than Nate's, and the duets with Joe didn't match up as well, so I ran them separately. I used the official Vulfpeck concert video since both of these are official releases (hence the Vulf logo at the begining. :) ). I also shortened Nate's drum solo so that his more elaborate syncopation with the cymbal stops rivaled Louis' rapid-fire drum fills.

So see how this rematch feels compared to the original and let me know if Nate or Louis has your vote this time! Enjoy!
