Giulio Galati – Lack of Comprehension – Sean Reinert Drum Cover

With a strong passion for drums since the early childhood, Giulio Galati started taking drum lessons at the age of 10 with Armando Bertozzi, Stefano Rossini, Daniele Pomo (St. Louis College of Music), Lucrezio De Seta, Ettore Fioravanti (Santa Cecilia Conservatory of Music) and Giampaolo Rao.

The educational path led him through different music styles like jazz, Latin, fusion, and rock. Thanks to the influence of all these styles and the variety of music listened to, he evolved to metal drumming and to the use of the double pedal by developing a personal language that attempts to melt together everything he has been and continues to be exposed to.

Huge inspirations were and still are Dave Weckl, Vinnie Colaiuta, Kiko Freitas, Gavin Harrison, Mike Portnoy, George Kollias, Derek Roddy, and Thomas Haake.

This video is Giulio covering ‘Lack of Comprehension’ from Death’s 1991 Human album.

Having had the honor of knowing Sean for about 15 years, and his material much longer, I have seen all kinds of players attempt covering his style. Not only is Giulio’s playing amazing, it’s the closest I have seen to Sean’s… it’s in the little things. The attack, the angles, the cymbal work, and dynamics, as well as the transitions. Additionally, Giulio’s drums sound absolutely amazing. Outstanding work Giulio… Sean would be very proud. Rest easy old friend. Gone but never forgotten. ~Ian Macdonald – SDM

A few words from Giulio: “I didn’t grow up listening to Death or Cynic, so I found myself in the discovery of Sean’s drumming quite late. It was impossible not to recognize how much of those ideas represented a prolific and fertile soil for Sean’s contemporary drummers and the future ones, and I felt really close to his approach especially for the way he used cymbals… crystal clear, jazzy, light and groovy, but so heavy when needed.”
