Drum geek sick chops youtube thread

Oh, nice! Wish I could go, but I probably won't be back in NYC for awhile. :(

It's every Sunday. They'll probably be playing next time you are around. .

That Steve Gadd/Giovanni Hidalgo clip...the hands and feet thing...so wonderful.

Got a gig in New Haven Sunday night. Ivy League poon.

Are you quoting one of your bandmates in an attempt to sound more like one of the boys?

Ha, in a sense. "Ivy League poon" is in fact a running band joke.

Now that I think of it, last time I saw Cristian Rivera and Chris Washburne they were playing with the Bobby Sanabria Big Band that Haikunym is always raving about on the salsa thread on the other board. Bobby gave Cristian the nod to take a solo and he was on fire. He kept on soloing and looking over at Bobby as if to say, "I'm in the groove, boss, I ain't gonna stop until you tell me the stop." Finally Bobby gave the signal and the rest of the band kicked back in.

This other guy in the next clip I happened to see the other day and I wasn't too into it. His band wasn't really locking in, and his own playing was kind of wanky. But see for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xe15md7VFQQ. I wanted to stop around minute seven.

OK, I found a pretty good video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-_r1EvJ6q4&feature=related with the late, great Patato featuring Nicky Marrero on timbales.

Sorry for being so British but what is a Shed? Is it where gospel groups practice or something?

shed = woodshed = old term for where you practice. "shedding" = practicing.

I love solos like that. It's like the drum equivalent of that KRS-One verse from MCs Act Like They Don't Know about punchlines vs. moving the crowd

aw, i love nicko:

billy cobham w/horace silver in 1968: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2VYKgFBH3A

so cool to see him killing it on a 4 piece kit, all left-handed and shit.

I think we may have overlooked this one a while back http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRGwYpnd99Q&feature=related

If I'm not mistaken there is a tribute to two of the other guys in that one coming up at Birdland.

1968 Billy Cobham was just dying for someone to invent fusion already.

ha, i like this dude: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkwdjlEUeRQ. i used to use some of those tricks like scratching on the snare wires and laying on the cymbals on the snare, but not as smooth as that. his other videos are pretty sick too.

damn, chris dave. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPYLkJYruic

Jeff Ballard on this clip -- WOO!

i realized that the awesome beat he plays here is straight paradiddle sticking, totally doable!

Not like the most obviously sick thing ever, but such beautiful ghosting:
