    The rest of the VF Jams have had killer drummers smashing and being super technical with amazing chops. Stanley plays and you want to dance. You never want the music to stop. This was so FUNKY.

    • Ellis Abram
      Ellis Abram 4 years ago +8

    The amount of energy everyone had in this video. This is my first time hearing this and I’ve watched this video literally 37 times in a row and I can’t stop crying. Tell me I’m lying. I wish I could prove it. Lol. But everything from the singer, she’s gorgeous, very unique sound, the bass guitar is fucking killer, the back up vocals bring me to church, the guitar is impeccable, and Stanley is a fucking monster. I can not describe the way I feel while watching/listening to this video. 20/20 this is what real music is right here. The pure definition of perfection is this video. If y’all need me, I’ll be listening to this another 40 times. Thanks.

    July 3rd is now one of the best days of my life. With Stanley Randolph just annihilating the track. Thank you, Vic Firth, for bringing one of my favorite drummers in the world. Nice work on the phase filter on the hi hat. *LET THE GROOVE LIVE ON!!!!*
    I should note thought that at 4:02, Elise is the only one singing while in the "trailer", we had the background vocals. 👀👀👀👀

The first time I watched it, I fell in love with Elise Testone's vocal abilities. She is phenomenal! Stanley Randolph ain't bad, either, but...CAN HE SING LIKE THAT?? I don't believe he (or anyone else) could.
    THAT'S MY WOMAN('s voice)!!!
