Beautifully played, always love seeing a drummer who doesn’t overhit!

Mr Harvey not just an iconic drummer but a true musician.

@objectivechristian8441 9 лет назад

I used to think I was cool. Harvey Mason just proved scientifically that I am not only not cool, but I don't even know what cool is. I can now move past that and get on with life. Thank you Mr Mason.

@user-cp9ny1qt1l 4 года назад

I think he is not only one of the most great drummer , but also composer.

@heartbeatsdrum 2 месяца назад

Extremely groovy and solid as a rock. Those ghost notes are beautiful, and I wish my dynamics were that good.

@M123OCT 7 лет назад

How can anyone be SO chilled, and yet still play with such...cool? Wonderful stuff. :)

What on earth are the amazing cymbals he is using here? The flat hihat...whow, what a sound! Harvey always sounds soooo good and in the pocket.

@lt.frankdrebin3317 4 дня назад

The hi-hats are Sabian Hand Hammered EQ hats. Easily identified by the flat top and the four notches in the edge of the bottom hat. He's been using them for at least 30 years now.

@sidclusive5793 9 лет назад

@drewper73 9 лет назад

Sounds like a mash-up of "Watermelon Man" and "Chameleon." I've played "Chameleon" several times with different jazz combos. Just when I think I might be close to Harvey's pocket, I'll listen to the original a few days later only to be reminded of just how far away I am from Harvey's pocket.

@bean9seventy 9 лет назад

that's right no only that it was a dance floor classic ,, in the UK part of the funk bible out here ,, students use this song & like you say for jamming rites & over the years moved far away from the source pocket of groove ,, now folks should start changing gears back to how Harvey likes it,, Herbie too

@aiachmad93 5 лет назад

Does anyone know what brand he uses?

@millmaxy 3 года назад

can anyone explain to me the utility and theory behind the two perpendicular condensers at the front of the kit, over the two rack toms, please?

@PoeticJustice05 9 лет назад

He holds his sticks like I do.

9 лет назад

Too many albums to mention that he plays on that are STELLAR. Anyone every listen to 'Symphonic Soul' by Henry Mancini? Some fabulous creative drumming on there by Mason.

@CatherineNueraRosario 9 лет назад

@fjt3637 7 лет назад

harvey never shows off...but follows the music like very very few drummers do....this is what it s supposed to be....melting in order to create the music in a imperceptible way

@ralphtoles393 6 лет назад

Great playing Harvey. This looks like a Canopus RFM kit?

@rolanddeschain6983 7 лет назад

Robert Delich Yes, it's a canopus rfm. I play a RFM too, the club one (15" kick drum)

@pengfeixue599 5 лет назад

这个厉害。

@MalcolmWAdams 9 лет назад

What? No credit to Paul Jackson whose bass-line made this song. Come on now!

@colin_rose 8 лет назад

+Malcolm W. Adams (Brother Mal) The famous bass line is Herbie on a synth.

@MalcolmWAdams 8 лет назад

Yes, Colin Rose, but it was written and composed by bassist Paul Jackson and taught to Herbie to be performed on a synth from my understanding.

@marvinbaker237 6 лет назад

FOR SURE PAUL JACKSON BASS LINE MADE HISTORY IN THAT SONG

@marvinbaker237 6 лет назад

HARVEY AND PAUL JACKSON ARE TWO OF THE BEST DRUMMER AND BASS PLAYERS IN HISTORY

@MrBrokentowels 6 лет назад

What's great about this thread is that I just discovered Paul Jackson for myself.

Mr. Mason = funky cool! Been searching flat top hats since yesterday and went...how about use two quick hats bottoms ....Murat Diril has a model...hmmm!

@lt.frankdrebin3317 4 дня назад

The hi-hats are Sabian Hand Hammered EQ hats. Easily identified by the flat top and the four notches in the edge of the bottom hat. He's been using them for at least 30 years now.

@Tfunkize 8 лет назад

Looks like Harvey plays with 3 different size snare drums - as recall back in 1973 with KC and Sunshine Band Harvey use Rogers or Yamaha drums -right ?

@rolanddeschain6983 7 лет назад

I think the drum kit is a Canopus RFM. I use the same brand, different model, and is awsome!

@ralphtoles393 6 лет назад

Wrong!
