PETER ERSKINE drum solo (Peter Erskine and the Dr.Um Band) 

Saw Peter Erskine back in the 70s when he was with Maynard Ferguson. He was incredible back then and still is today.

What a great solo, what a great drummer.

I've loved Pete since the Weather Report days. True master and a very nice guy.

Other drummers have a drumset three times as big, but they don't get as much colours out of them. Peter is a true master.

When silences sound groovy! Great stuff!

That's called experience, skill, wisdom, and sophistication.

Love watching the great drummers Erskine..gadd etc.

holy crap those drums are tuned sooooo delicious

He holds your interest, that is something a lot of drummers will never get!

Tasty drummer always loved his playing he was my fav in weather report

It's so nice to hear a drummer who breathes when he solos and doesn't try to create WW2 in 3 mins.

He was mega back before I was born and still is.

One ov my Favorites!! Love his playing over many years!!

Most solos lull me into super- boredom. I guess because I've been playing and watching for several decades. Peter's solos are a cut above a lot of others. Always have musical context and makes the song better. I might be the only drummer,a working one no less that generally doesn't enjoy solos. I only wanna do them when it feels right and improves things. Bill Stewart, Jeff Hamilton,Hoenig,Blade are great soloists too.

Joyful. What a great musician.

Great variation on 'Northern Cross' first recorded with Steps Ahead in early 1980s! I heard this live at LACMA a couple years ago, the song has progressed into a form I never would have thought possible, the genius of Peter Erskine!

Awesome drummer!! Peter is an absolute favorite!😮

Tasty clip! Thanks for posting this

Вот смотрю,с возрастом ноги уже не так работают,а РУКИ-Золотые!Браво! Here I look,with age, the legs no longer work like that, and the HANDS are GOLDEN!Bravo!

No tension beautiful , just drum music

He’s playing each drum like a character in a play.

just necked a glass of wine watching this incredible solo

still love your work!!

So smooth Fantastic!

guy with the sax is digging it

Fantastic!

Have always had a special place in my heart for Peter and his skills. He's incredible. My dad (Johnny Civera) was a professional drummer, and was Peter's first teacher way back when Peter was only four or five. He had the chops even then. Amazing. Peter makes his drums sing.

love it!!

Восхищён, мастер!

Love Peter Erskine

YAMAHAから離れて数十年ぶりにTAMAのドラムを、日本製のドラムキットを再びお使いいただいていることを とても誇りに感じます。ピーターさん、いつも素晴らしいサウンドをどうも有難う！！

Watch the wrist action .....WOW EXCELLENCE!!!!!

Como pessoas dão deslike em um vídeo desse??? Que loucuraaaaa...

Speechless.........

So Great!

Viva, Peter!

what a perfect (also :)) left hand technique!

Students, this is the result of practice.

He is like Santa Claus on the drums, such a nice guy.

WOW!!!!

Great!

Lovely

Jesuuuusss

Un maestro

Awesome musician/drummer

Always in the pocket even when he's out of it!

ITS AMAZING, THE VERY BEST EVER SOLO, GROOVE, EMOTION AND FEELING. THANKS PETER FOR ALL MUSIC AND INSPIRATION.

It's not because the guy is super musical and has excellent technique, that everything he does is wonderful ...

I love those Elvin Jones quotes at 2:00. Also people who complain about this solo are the people who cant find the 1,if you know what i mean. Peter Erskine is going thru the musical/drumming history in this solo,and some youtuber knows better,lol.

Demasiado tendrás preparado otro?

Un grande!!!!!!!!!

nice solo

Tasty control.

Awesome solo but I have to point out something that bugs me, the placement/height of the kick drum beater. It looks like it's almost at the top, which kills a lot of the tone!

カウベルなんだろ？

Nice left foot (hi hat) playing

さすが、ええソロをしばきよるわ！

anyone knows which kind of snare he uses in this video?? Thanks

Classic Erskine About 1:00 In

Any clue what kind of a bass drum beater he's using here? Very interesting to see the placement of it. Very high off center.

Beutyfull bear

Was Perter

P E T E RRRRR!

He finally gets to play tastier kits with Tama!

Great drummer, jedan u nizu velikana, Cobhan, Gadd etc.. ⚒️🗿🛠️

キレイな音でドラム叩く。

My hero!

Kids - pay attention! 😄

I'm a drummer and I hate drum solos. I usually make it about 20 seconds in, max. But, I had to watch all of this one.

What a great spirit

Plain and simple Peter is a swinging bad ass

Peter's great..this little drum break was OK..1:07 trying to figure out what is so funny..The groove coming back in at 2:35 sounds great. He should've soloed around that groove instead of playing something totally different and less energetic...Peter should slim down a little.. You don't see many older heavyset men around. The heart goes...

its actually Saul from homelands in an undercover drumming role.

Shit that was beautiful!!!😂🍻

like how he copied Benny Grebs warm up

Swings like mad.

The drummer all the pros go to

That bass player doesn’t get it at all

Forse il peggior solo di Erskine

When I was a kid, when musicians reached 50 yo, they sucked. Not anymore.

The difference between a Master and the average drummer ..

It's as if a brain surgeon has learned to play drums 😃 Quite unique.

He plays as if he were two drummers.

Any pro can do what Erskine does. There are warm-ups going on in music stores that sound like this. Overpriced drums match an overrated player.

Morbidly obsess. Go see a medical doctor for help.
