I don't know why, but of all the great drummers that have passed, his loss hits me the hardest. I feel like I have lost a friend, a teacher, a mentor not to mention one of the top 5 greatest drummers to ever live.... 😢
I absolutely LOVE your set, and your videos are very helpful and the language barrier doesn’t make it difficult. Music is universal. Thank you brother🤘
I love the fact that the musical flow is put ahead of the time signature and its significance. Music is communication so if you’re trying to outsmart your listener it will likely work and they will no longer listen. Very evolved way of thinking for both Gavin and Simon.
I'll never forget hearing TOTO for the very first time ("TOTO 4", when it landed). I remember thinking, "Holy crap, who is the drummer !!!???". There is no other.
Lotta technique, but in all due respect he doesn’t say anything musically to me - no start ,middle recap ect .I just hear just a bunch of random ideas sewn together, which is typical, of many drum solos as opposed to kind of a compositional style musical approach- good teacher though
If I had to pick some fav musicians of mine I wish we're still here I'd go with the following... Jeff Porcaro Alan Myers Bob Casale Snakefinger Hardy Fox Keith Emerson Greg Lake Captain Beefheart and Mark Hollis
I love this clip and the same way I did years ago when I first watched it. If you saw the full dvd production you'd have seen this peramce among other startling rnb chop drummers. The reason I love this clip the same way is that Gerald intended his performance to be unique amongst the others by virtue of "raw" and "improvised". He really lets it all hang out here and risking errors along the way. Of course I noticed the occasional, and very occasional, time skips. He also even had a drum stick drop and drum stick clatter contact. None of the supposed flaws in this uniquely raw, live and honest performance did anything to diminish my enjoyment, pleasure and absolute respect for this true performance. When he tossed the head phones was the moment he declared he was doing it live and unrehearsed. His solo had all the attributes and qualities that demonstrated his true talent that even any mistakes or error I could possibly detect wasn't note worthy enough for me to even try critique his over all and final performance. It's a raw and honest performance that is most notably and famously book marked by the timer and most impressive moments he got to demonstrate throughout. The right foot single bass drum syncopated dance riffs and the splash cymbal and tom snare lyrics is what I love about this above any concievable slip . What he meant to do is clear as day
