Harvey has got a couple of things in his playing that almost none of the others have... subtlety and space. He's not afraid to let the rhythms BREATHE...unlike most if the rest who pile on the notes, filling up all the space. A master rhythm craftsman and somebody we should all pay attention to and learn from!

@nardinyouryard Год назад

Exactly

@nickavenoso7851 3 года назад

24:07 That’s one of the most cleanest buzz rolls I’ve ever heard. Harvey’s just incredible!

@jarrahdrum Год назад

Dave Grusin, Mountain Dance album was where I first really listened to Harvey Mason.. my ears grew that day

@DrumLaw 6 лет назад

His ghost notes are smooth as hell, on all drums, not just the sane drum. He makes one drum sound like several ones. I also noticed he switches from traditional do matched grip when necessary. Truly a great drummer. And overall very good lessons. :)

@jonathandavis9504 5 дней назад

Harvey has the ultimate feel he is a legend and an inspiration 🙌

@slickingdom 6 лет назад

Interesting fact: The Herbie Hancock album, "Head Hunters" (1973) was the biggest selling “contemporary” Jazz album of all time, until George Benson released "Breezin" (1976). The common denominator of both of these records is Harvey Mason, Sr. #provenhitmaker

@gringochucha 4 года назад

And don't forget Donald Byrd's "Black Byrd" (1973), also a big hit!

@roeperk8595 4 года назад

I am pretty sure Miles Davis "Kind of Blue is the top selling jazz album of all time...

@slickingdom 4 года назад

Roe Perk Yes!! Miles!! I believe I meant “contemporary” jazz album. I actually read that somewhere.

@fibboobbif 3 года назад

not to forget Lee Ritenours "Captain Fingers" from 1977... That blew us all from any sofas even in europe

@aramfingal 8 месяцев назад

His drumming on headhunters is why I'm here! 😅 An absolute legend.

@keepit350 6 лет назад

Damn! Touched me from the first beat, this guy has deep emotion in each note!

Harvey Mason, you still got it, just blown away with your drumming!

@KONAMAN100 Год назад

Outstanding. Art meets drumming. Great great performance. Stunning playing.

@jimmyreid235 6 лет назад

.... intended to say Harvey Mason represents our instrument with class,professionalism and a spirit of giving that we should all strive to achieve. This video reminded me that our instrument does not have to be molested to sound good. If I had a choice to study with anyone, it would be Mr. Harvey Mason.... Good job Drumeo - thank you Harvey

@MrBarryhutch Год назад

I’m a Harvey fan from way back, my favorite cut of his is Lee Ritnour captain fingers, explosive innovative!❤️

@timpricedrums 6 лет назад

He plays the way he communicates. Softly spoken and considered. No wasted words. He is a very musical and intelligent drummer. Thanks for another inspirational video. 👍🏻😁

@scottloveday8598 6 лет назад

Harvey Mason ,,wow, it doesn't get any better when it comes to making sense of the main role of playing drums, not about being flashy,,, just playing the music and making it sound great.. but the genius can be flashy too when the music calls for it. His drum sounds and textures are amazing.

@salrodriguez51 2 года назад

Nobody better than Harvey when it comes to finesse and pocket .. Amazing discography and still going strong 🙏🏼

@ibleebinU Год назад

I love Harvey! His drumming has inspired me to a world of micro dynamics. It's where the creative fun is.

@jasonhearn5818 5 лет назад

Harvey is a legend....this man doesn't get the credit he deserves...if your a fan of steve gadd then you should you should be a fan of Harvey Mason because ...they have a similar style but Harvey influenced Steve and 1970s Harvey Mason was a monster no comparison his style of groove was ground breaking

@slickingdom 6 лет назад

I've been listening to Harvey Mason's work since about 1973 around the time when he appeared on the Herbie Hancock Head Hunters album. His body of work is staggering to say the least and this lesson was a sheer joy for me to watch. DAMN!!!

@heartbandrecords6582 6 лет назад

these 2 side snares sound soo dope!!!

@Gdude62 6 лет назад

Harvey, one of my favorite groove masters!! As most here, I discovered him through Herbie back in 73. This interview really demonstrates his dynamics, touch, and musicality. His touch is light but commanding. Still killin' it!

@snartle Год назад

there’s so much to take in from harvey’s playing. i’ve learned an insane amount from this video.

@ericwilhelm2941 5 лет назад

His Solo toward the end of the Lesson is Creativity at its best . I wanna say he sees images pictures scenes . At least me he took into a Movie with his Solo . Inspirational !

@robertomagalhaes3235 6 лет назад

@drumdude46 6 лет назад

Like a fine wine.... wow. Love the Classics. and by that i mean, the "Classic Drummers'. Like Harvey. So understated, tasteful, elegant, and seasoned! best combination, right there!

@Manteego25 4 года назад

Harvey was one of the first drummers that I patterned my playing after. :)

@jas_bataille Год назад

You listen to the same track of his 4 years prior, and you can tell the insane improvement he made upon himself since then. This man rolls ghost notes.......!!! Been playing that song since 1974. Is still working on it. If that ain't dedication...!!!

@glennracoma7481 5 лет назад

World Class drummer - Harvey Mason has and will always in all time be my fave drummer/musician. His playing in my earlier years (till today) has been a major influence and inspiration on how I approach any music I play today on the kit. So Righteous!!

@toddliggett4093 6 лет назад

Love listening to him talk. Such confidence and yet so relaxed. Not trying to prove anything, just solid chops, feel, groove, and an impressive pedigree that spans decades. Thanks Drumeo and thanks Harvey.

A living legend! Grew up on An Evening with Fourplay DVD. He started my love for piccolo snare! :). Thanks for the killer episode!

@Tadaia 4 года назад

He’s scary good. I stopped to comment because I’ve been watching that dvd lately and will let it play in the background while doing chores. Amazing touch! One of the greatest ever.

@MadEagleUSA 6 лет назад

Fantastic! His main snare drum is super sensitive, and his Tom's are very musical. Great lesson and interview! Loved it.

@philoneill9865 6 лет назад

@ernestmorellsr7929 3 года назад

Man I do agree with you 100% I really can't understand why it took Harvery Mason this long to show up... no matter what you say, Harvery Mason just did not realize he had a huge followers. Man when I first heard him with Herbie Hancock, 73 or 74 ! I was like " who is this drummer that can plays in that time syncopation? Take Five, pops got a brand new bag, cold sweat the girl from Ipanema, all of these drums sycophants had a profound effect on lots of drummers in the funk and jazz world, but when I heard chameleon!! No! It must be a machine, yeah, a machine, ain't no drummer can play like that, that's impossible, where's the ONE, or the one-na- two-an - the excetera excetera, no it must be a drum machine, oh everyone knows Herbie Hancock is sorta of side ways with his music, Naaa, there ain't no drummers who can play like that.

@petertrotman7708 6 лет назад

Absolutely thrilled you guys have finally got Harvey on. Proper Legend. I know anyone who knows him have there fave tunes but here's a few that still blow me away today. Donald Byrd : Change, the underrated hi-hat work on that track is killing. Wilbert Longmire : Black is the Colour, His groove on the whole track is just relentless and last but certainly not least George Benson : The World is a Ghetto, Daaaamn!! The most amount of freedom I've ever heard from any drummer but he keeps it so very tasteful, also the best groove outro you'll ever hear. No, Thank U Mr. Mason.

@BobSaint 6 лет назад

Got to know him trough Johnny Hammond and other Mizell bros productions, only later I found out that he plays on a massive volume of albums I love. The man is a session/studio whale, one of the greatest ever, it's so nice to be able to watch this video.

@michaelmonaco5837 3 года назад

Harvey is a gentle force behind the drums. Simply a touch god. Seen and met him several times with Lee Ritenour. He showed me to reverse the hi hats cymbals. Heavy top which is more meaty but less effort to perform. Soulful is not descriptive enough for Mr. Mason.

@davidmichaelsen9805 6 лет назад

What a legend. Thank you.

@evensteven8129 4 года назад

Herbie Hancock... the song is called ‘4 AM.’ Drummer is Mr. Mason, bassist is Jaco. Absolute definitive tune..

@incognito_tk2424 2 года назад

It's so cool Harvey's drummin' performances as usual !! Awesome play👍 Thanks for showing the smooth play, Harvey✋

@dishchris7139 3 года назад

Mr. Mason if you see this, which im sure you wont, so ill speak first person. I studied harvey's styel starting with what he did on "so this is love", george Bensen. The drums during middle part solo, and at the tail end of the song. This playing styel helped emensily in developing my own styel. In fact if you listen to me play you'll find some familiarityes. Intermeshed with in my own personal styel. Because of that George album i spent hours, weeks months playing back at slow spead and compleatly learned the drum parts Mr. Mason played for the entire song this is now a pernament part of my drum playing styel

@gregpeller9181 6 лет назад

"Just totally on another planet with his playing and a class act at that also.... I thoroughly enjoyed both the groove and his magic touch on the cymbals. Canopus drum sound awesome and I've never played them before but I've heard about them on occasion and Harvey's been playing them for quite a few years.

Yea, this cat be smooth and grooving! I've digging Harvey's drumming since the early 1970s. The guy plays everything. "Summer Breeze" by Seals & Crofts is a favorite track that Harvey was on the session.
