Drum geek sick chops youtube thread

Yes, seen that kid. Love him.

It's going to be interesting to see what happens to him. I mean unlike a lot of the child prodigy musicians I see on youtube, this kid seems genuinely ENTHRALLED by music and totally has fun making the videos. And what's really remarkable is not just his chops but his feel. But I still worry about this five year old with his own "youtube channel" and all these expectations on him.

Simple beat, but still, damn:

pino and the guitarist are basically heroes for holding down those grooves while the drums & sax go off with the crazy metric modulation

is that ernesto simpson on kit? my brass band once played after those dudes in switzerland, i think it was the bona/toto/lokua band. ernesto was playing along as his mobile drum riser was getting hauled away (with him on it).

Ha, I almost wrote in original "that must be Ernesto Simpson on the traps." I asked Samuel about Ernesto the other day, he told me he was living in Europe now, can't remember what city. Think they are playing some European dates together next month

Hm. I see that in 2000 ST came in second place in the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition for Hand Percussion. Wonder who came in first place? OK, I see.

IDK some parts of those Chris Dave videos are sick as hell but then they have to go and do bullshit like play off meter trane excerpts in the middle of a dilla groove and I just don't get the point other than degree-of-difficulty.

That's the point!

Tim Stewart is nice as hell on guitar btw.

xpost -- yeah but it reminds me of high school jazz band when we would always take every song into double time and go through every possible substitute chord progression. It's boring.

Ha, almost posted something on that virtuosity thread about how Benny Powell would never hire somebody who played more than a,say, four chorus solo because they should be able to show what they knew in a short period of time and not have to literally play every single thing they knew

OK, here is the Benny Powell quote:
http://www.trombone.org/articles/library/bennypowell-4.asp

What leader needs a guy who's going to be dumb enough to play 24 choruses? A leader's looking for somebody who's smart. And brevity is it. You know, say what you got to say in two or three choruses, maybe four. I mean, if you're really hot, stretch out in five. But you don't need more than five choruses to show people what you know.

Sheila E. Basically I don't want to see a drummer anymore if they aren't doing double bass in heels.

I just saw the Ernesto Simpson was in town last week playing a gig a block away from my house with Manuel Valera but I missed it.

<3 karriem riggins. unlike some dudes i can usually grasp what he's doing but he makes it sound so good. like here, the beat is mostly straight paradiddles but when i play it doesn't sound nearly as dope: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55Lf1wMylIE&feature=player_detailpage#t=74

the hi-hat/snareadiddle thing is actually very steve gadd, now that I think about it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rk7arh8vWp8

damn. i'm not always into the whole 'hmmm what can we do to this standard, i know, we'll play it in 7!' thing but that's a nice arrangement, love the vamp.

Yeah, it does seem like that standard in 7 thing has become pervasive (probably Mehldau's fault), but I love the way they Justin and Jacky interplay on it.

Starts climbing toward :O around 3:10

stumbled onto this -- I always liked and respected him a lot and thought he stood out as WAY better than the other drummers of his style/generation, but I didn't know he had chops like this

First youtube search result for "drums" and deservedly so

a diff kind of drum chops but this is incredible

I've posted this on other threads, but this clip of Mike Clark on drums with Paul Jackson on bass both of the Headhunters is pretty wicked.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1i1RJeUw70

Yup, seen that, one of my favorite youtube videos

Never knew about this guy before, died young in the 80s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTuFEikcbmM#t=128

great video, great player. i like all the stuff about how dance styles dictate the development of grooves in pop music, use of space, etc. and the super '70s snare sound and cymbal angles.

yeah fascinating stuff -- amazing breadth of knowledge and very original thinking/analysis, plus great playing

wonderful!

saved for later

I want that guy to be alive and be my drum teacher

oh man, his death is very sad :(

wow that is sad
let it also have been said that yogi horton was extremely easy on the eyes
