He admires <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/most-important-drummers-history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the great drumming legends<\/a> and he&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/greyson_nekrutman\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">covered a ton of classic jazz and big band tunes<\/a> over the past few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s cool and all, but can you play &#8216;Caravan&#8217;?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The movie <em>Whiplash <\/em>came out in 2014, and it reminded the rest of the world how awesome drumming is. It featured the song &#8220;Caravan&#8221; (Juan Tizol\/Duke Ellington), which became a recurring piece for the protagonist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, whenever a song enters pop culture, people start requesting that song. And as a drummer &#8211; especially as a jazz drummer &#8211; you bet Greyson has been asked to play it. It&#8217;s like asking a metal guitarist to shred the solo from Dragonforce&#8217;s &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/0jgrCKhxE1s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Through The Fire And Flames<\/a>&#8220;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the video above, Greyson nails the song and goes into an extended drum solo with killer technique and dynamics, blazing fast hands, and confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(P.S.
