Rick Latham Warming Up! 

One helluva musician and so definitely underrated. I would assume Rick Latham doesn’t care about ranking and notoriety - I see a very accomplished and confident drummer doing what obviously he loves. Thanks for sharing this video Rick... always appreciated your playing...

i loved his first book, and learned a ton, this is even more amazing. I am going to begin my journey back to Rick Latham's world.

I’ve never heard DW’s sound this good before

really like those bass drum/tom fills, is he just playing RLF RLF? or something more fancy?

Top class playing...

really nice Rick!! sick chops, and tight grooving as always., u r tha man!

Precioso!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪

Rick, I love your set up with the small tom...I am changing my kit to reflect this set up.How do you not hit your left thigh with your hand playing traditional grip. I am tall as well and my leg always hits my left hand, does not matter how I adjust my seat either....thanks...

Being a professional acoustic drummer for many moons I have always been a single bass drummer and have more respect for single bass drummers.

is the pattern something like FT BB S S (S) S in 16th note triplets, so that the base drum double is in 32th note triplets? sounds awesome by the way :D

Super

Does your right arm not start to ache if you play a lot of bell on the ride, with your cymbal that high?

Alter Wie kann der sowas ohne dubble base spielen?!? Der typ is soo hammer!!

gotta love the single pedal work, i do that myself, i've worked up my "John Bonham" doubles heaps, if you want practice just play along to good times bad times. And then piss off your band by just incorporating in to everything for the next month. How i got decent at it.

Amazing, super nice grooves but dare I say...boring. I just like a lot of movement I guess, each to there own. But saying that, I wish I could play that well and make it look so easy.

Hi Rick !!! İstanbul mehmet ring use it,will you come to Turkey for workshop ??steal the very controlled and nuanced.Very successful...I would have been a great pleasure to watch live...

Like the jazz grip

Hi Rick, please its a possible to buy this snare drum, which you use on this DVD ? Or i muss call to DW to make a custom snare ? And please which color or type of laquer ist this set ? Thanks a lot :)

his bass sounds awesome any tips on how to get my drum to sound like that???

trata muy bien a la bateria con bastante feeling! much feeling and little force

肥り過ぎ❗でも上手い🤔

Me gusta mucho tu estilo rick... Funk !!!!

What a great clip. Perfect playing.....great drum sound....

So smooth, so legato. Love it!

MAN. Setups don't get much more 80's than this anymore.

Not only badass but the tone..the tone

Really amazing!🥁🎼

Wow, underrated this guy is

Killer groove - execution - precision - subsitution - you got it all man - loved ya since the 80s when I first saw you play.

2:07 - 2:22 is the dopest jam you could ever hear in your life....... rock on Rick Latham

Hey Rick......Damn....you been passing the peas and keeping the biscuits....we both gots to get back in the gym........But whatever we do.....it's gots to be funky.....now pass the peas please.......and the biscuits.....LOL

@theMASdrummer He's really good, the kit is good but he lake it sounds good i am a drummer and i know how hard it is so done't say that again!

@JustSomeGuy83 Can't get into the groove without the left leg moving mate. There's no way the hats can open and close at that rate, without his hands doing anything to activate the change. Watch his hats. They're opening and closing.

No double pedal in this video, bro. Just Rick's ball bearing ankle at work! As far as double pedals being for lazy people, I'd tap the brakes on that one, my man. With the exception of the likes of Rick Latham, single pedals are for lazy feet because single pedal player's left foot is typically too weak to even think about being able to play a double pedal. Not to mention that there are MANY things you can play with double pedals that just simply can be done with one foot. PERIOD!

"...uses only a single pedal": yeah but he plays it with his foot and freakin wang... gotta go study this vid for the next 72 hours without sleeping

i love those tom of yours rick and nice groove by the way even though your just warming up hehe. what heads are those on the toms?

lol this is like the love child of gadd and weckl

He should change his cymbals. All of them.

hey Rick let me build more pedels you can break like your style on the drums

Whoo dis is what drumming is aboud, simple en clean i like this man. It grooves like it shoot by.

Thanks for your efforts. ❤👍🌷❤👍💪💪

just got advanced funk studies nd man its awesome i love it

i play a very hard solo of him... its hard man^^

OOPS! I meant to say "simply CANNOT be done with one foot. PERIOD!

hey, could someone tell me how the fill at 1.25 goes? :)

hey, could someone tell me how the fill at 1.25 goes? :)

all that with a strait face...

Just warming up u know..

The funkmaster at it´s best...

Awesome

haircut

Double Pedal in my eyes is for lazy people! Oh and by the way this video...incredible!

This cat is SERIOUS!

Amazing 👏👏👏👏

I really hate double bass drum. It makes fills to sound just flat.

Kit sounds great
