Rudy Van Gelder: The Man That Defined The Sound Of Jazz
Check out the drum solo on "What I Say" John Mayall & the blues breakers w/ Eric Clapton before cream. i think That's the first drum solo for a "Blues" band to release on a album
When 6/8 was described as an odd time signature, a part of my soul died
Dear friend, High-Life music comes from Brazilian music and not Western Jazz. King Sonny Ade the High-Life stile front runner said in his book. At the Brazilian Quarter in Lagos Capital of Nigeria.
There will never be any other band like Zeppelin. Their music is timeless and will be considered classical, as in Beethoven classical imo. My millennial son loves them as much as I do.
Subtle brilliance ❤
Thx for this tribute !
Thankyou it is sooo inpotertent, to wimen revolution. And nice to No more about Tina. Ik liked her and do. She is/ was the STIL POWER of TH. Ik think.THANK you an Tina.
Both great but only one of them indulges us drum nerds with a solo.
Very worthwhile!
Awesome video
Awesome...Tres EDUCATIONAL...Thank YOU...bigggtime.
Substantial content, thank you 🙌🏼
As someone who has recorded some of the best drummers in the World and have had the pleasure of having Bruner at my studio I will tell you this. Bruner can play with snarky puppy. But the truth is Bruner has literally played with all of the best. The best know he’s the best. He’s the most versatile drummer I have seen. He’s just not doing the videos like Lewis but everyone know he’s the man.
You know you're doing something right as a drummer when Larnell Lewis gives you that look... 8:23
I thnk that was Larnell Lewis grimacing at 8:25... which says something about Pridgen's proficiency.
I didn't like Octahedron when it came out, and now, I can't listen to Bedlam without pairing it with Octahedron. It is just as enjoyable to me, and works so well as a half to a much greater whole in those sibling records.
When Larnell and Aaron are giving you stank face at the same time you know you’ve got it going on 😮💨
Thomas shouldn’t have gotten fired. He was hands down their best drummer
TP is out of this world. He's like Danny Carey on speed. His ease at playing odd syncopation, odd time signatures, insane independence all with blazing chops is unreal.
I was actually very interessted but unfortunately the incessant chatter annoyed me !
well done for the pronunciation as well.
They should work on the songs instead of freaking Out because the music is weak
Beast!!!

Those great sounding Afro 6-8 grooves were the lovely sound of a good percussion section, not a drummer alone, all I hear is a very good but pedestrian Afro drummer just like many good players, but come on! In modern drumming , showed me nothing more than what I hear in that style I haven’t heard just look at the real greats ,then talk. don’t mean to be mean but sorry look.
Please do one about Chris Maitland from his Porcupine Tree era!
in this clip? Gadd’s pocket is technically deeper. It has more “swing” so to speak. The beat they picked for Jeff definitely wasn’t his best tho and I prefer Jeff’s playing overall 🤷♂️
I compilated Tony Allen greates drums groove in playlist Tony Allen - Afrobeat Drums Groove Score Collection: ua-cam.com/play/PLYsXiOiqESq2d66So6qJgj-ZIhcMhcse1.html
And he’s first team all-Defence.
"Octahedron" is the only album I gave from them - but I listen to it wvery couple of weeks, in its entirety. So blisteringly beautiful!
It’s honestly their second worst album too, you should explore their first 4 records too
Keith Carlock is from Clinton (Jackson area) Mississippi. Props to Tommy Aldridge though...
You should do Nate Smith
Man the beach boys really found their sound and stuck with it 😂
I think its safe to say if you played for Zappa, you’re probably the best at what you do lol
RUSH is my favorite band. Seen them 5 times. They are one of those rare bands that sound better live than they do on their recordings. And for a 3 piece ensemble, they have a HUGE sound 🔥
You cant deny that Neil Peart is the main reason rock drumming took a huge leap in the 70/80s
3:56
gawd his drums sound fxcking amazing 😳
please do one of these videos on JD Beck 😁
That Lizzo song was hot garbage except for the drums 😂
8:23 That reaction coming from Larnell Lewis is absolutely priceless😂 He must be like "Shit, my man absolutely cooks a lava down here!🌋"
You beat me to the punch. You know you're shnasty when you make Larnell throw out a stank face.
Wow, a rare "appreciation thread" video for Thomas Pridgen? I guess I'm not the only one who recognizes his skill and artistry, just as much as I did for Jon Theodore😆 Hope you can also make a video for Matt Garstka, if that's not too much to ask🙏
I used to like the more erratic drumming of guys like cole but the smoother beats of guilana hit a lot nicer to my ears rn
That Zappa audition story was great, Vinnie recited it beautifully.
Pridgen is just a phenomenon, he has so much raw talent, tons of experience and skill, and a super distinctive voice on the drums. No comparison to other drummers needed, he was born to hit drums!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Another victim of the pandemic. Of all the drummers I have seen live, & I have seen some greats, he was the most impressive
I love these videos, and will definitely check out many of this albums!!
