The most amazing thing about this series is that they manage to find music professionals that haven't heard the most popular songs of the past few decades.

This style of video where the musician hears the drumless track and comes up with their own is 10/10

The fact that he pointed out that Dave's playing like a funk drummer when Dave himself has gone on record saying he learned drums by playing funk and disco songs it a testament to this man's ear and how much love he has for his instrument. Insane.

I love it when the drummers somehow instinctively connect to what "should" be played, because they understand how to SERVE THE SONG! Kudos!

It’s crazy how he instantly recognized the funk tune. Dave has always credited his funk influences in drumming for nirvana

Dave Grohl has stated that the Gap Band and funk is the foundation of his drumming. The fact that Ulysses picked up on that is a testament to his knowledge!

Excellent drummer, I personally preferred his first pass! His instincts were dead on, damn near right on the money! Loved how he made it his own on the second pass, too, serious skills. Props to recognizing that funk element in Dave's background, obviously a top tier musical talent (Juilliard jazz drum instructor?! DAMN) and it really shines here, IMO. The fact that he thought he did poorly is very endearing, what a humble, cool guy.

He seems like the kind of drum teacher I wish I would have had. Cool, humble, artistic, professional. What a guy. I'd be curious to see him play the stuff he knows and teaches.

The fact that Ulysses described Dave’s drumming as funk is awesome. Dave revealed to Pharrell, in another interview, that he pretty much pulled his drumming chops from funk bands like the gap band and cameo! Ulysses actually called it!

I love how you can immediately see that: - This man is an amazing musician - He knows the shape of rock music, the skeleton - He has no experience with the details of it - His experience as a musician in general means he can try some stuff outside of his comfort zone, and make his unconventional choices work - He is a jazz professor who learned to drum in a church and has the mouth of a sailor. Love it.

As a non-drummer but Nirvana fan since being a teen when they hit, it was great to see him just pull out a great rendition. I cant see how people can just listen and do what they do. Kudos.

I love how he thought he was way off initially and the laughter listening to Dave's drumming.... awesome vibes

He's for real. In jazz, you don't just hear structure and form, you FEEL it. He got inside the song fast, and found its funky and slightly over-the-top beat after hearing it twice. I am in awe.

You can tell he’s a jazz drummer by how quiet he plays his bass drum. I love this series. It really messes with your head hearing a song you know with different drums. The chorus almost sounds poppy with how much faster the beat he played.

The most amazing thing is how it sounded like Foo Fighters when the doubled the snare.

As a drummer, the psychology behind it is intriguing. You can never have heard a song or ever played the genre and still the mind creates similar phrasing. Here comes a deep dive!

To hear him say he was a funk-y drummer and hearing the interview of Dave saying he stole so many fills from the GAP Band just really pieces the whole thing together. He picked up on it right away. What a legend

Crazy part is how closely his first pass, while listening for the first time, resembled the original better than when he analyzed and went through it again. Instincts are killer.
