Welcome to the Garey Williams Tribute Channel - Garey is no longer with us but he has a lasting legacy with his published books, online courses, recordings and this RU-vid channel.
This channel has over 400 drum and technique videos plus reactions.
Garey's drumming educational materials have been featured in: Modern Drummer, Percussive Notes, Rhythm Magazine and many European publications.
Garey has authored three books, The Hi-Hat Foot, Drummers Guide to Big Band and The Ride Hand, published by Wizdom Media, distributed by Alred Music and Hudsonmusic.com.
My name is Valerie, Garey's widow, and I will continue to offer more recordings and getting his educational out into the world.
Carmine Appice is the one who quotes Bonham as saying that he got the 16th note triplet doubles from him however this was only mentioned by Carmine in interviews well after Bonham’s death. This makes me doubt it’s validity 5:40
I think Purple found Mr Paice to be a very reliable drummer. Always giving them what they needed. This piece gave Ian a chance to do his thing, whilst the band had a breather! Keep Reacting!
People who don't play drums look at Virgil Donati play and think "I would LOVE to play drums like THAT!!!" People who DO play drums look at Virgil Donati play and think "I'm going home to burn all my drums!!!"
Rest Easy Garey. You will be missed!❤ I watch your videos often even though I am not a drummer.Your warm smile and personality made me want to watch your reaction videos.Thank You Garey! I came to this channel when I saw your great reaction to the legendary Karen Carpenter.You were a very talented drummer and teacher.I will continue to watch your videos. Condolences to Garey's wife and family.Thanks for continuing his channel!
Clive was an awesome drummer even before Tull, with local band The Warriors (later Yensons Trolls). Even then he added humour to his performances and his speed was phenomenal (rubber wrists!). Definitely underrated.
Kansas has to be one of the most complicated bands to keep timing to! Phil was/is masterful! And he even imbelished during timing shifts! Complicated stuff.
It’s to bad you didn’t finish it out, it wasn’t much longer, but a nice ending. He preformed his solo over 200 times, at some point in their 3 to 4 hour nonstop concerts. He didn’t need 20 or so drum pieces to sound so amazing, & he was still the greatest drummer ever. Playing with a band that improvised differently every night, & always sounding absolutely amazing, definitely makes him the GOAT on drums. If you haven’t listened to Four Sticks give it a listen, unfortunately the only time they played it live, it was audio only.
I saw Zeppelin, Stones many times, The Who, Return to Forever, Weather Report, but one of the best drumming gigs I ever saw was Ginger playing with Hawkwind at a tiny little bar/club in 1980. Life-changing !!!!
She may have become a great drummer, which is what she wanted. Unfortunately, as it turned out, she had a one-in-a-billion voice. My own thought is that she was compelled by others to step out front and it killed her.
I am amazed how modern drum teachers should be so ignorant of Buddy Rich When they see the real master of the drums they are like school boys seeing their first set of boobs
Thanks for showing that particular performance, it was nice to see Karen showing off her incredible drumming skills and she just looked like she was having fun and enjoying herself.
This is, of course, the most famous drum solo. However, there is a second, and just as intense, passage toward the end (around the 14 minute mark) that's not quite a solo but might as well be! Both are sooooo intense!
I'm not going to sub to your channel of thumbs it up after 10secs of watching it. Seiing you are expecting me to do that before even seeing your content i'm just turning it off.
There is no GOAT drummer. Buddy Rich is one of the greatest for sure but determining the greatest is impossible. The fact is Rich could never do the things that Neil Peart or Danny Carey do/did with their massive drum kits. Rich never demonstrated that he could do odd time signatures. There are many great drummers with none being the greatest. I remember jazz people in the 60s looked down at his showmanship and considered Max Roach better.
