Scott Rockenfield - Queensrÿche - Jet City Woman - NAMM - Anaheim, CA 01.25.14 

Such a clockwork, precise drummer. Every beat/hit is perfection with this guy! He never under or overplays!

Scott played through his drums . . . . .hard to explain , you just hear the distinct difference whenever anybody else tries to play his music He is just perfect !

I Miss the chains holding the symbols 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Favorite drummer of all time. His innovative style, attack, precision. Just an amazing under rated player

One of my favorite drummers so underrated

Definitely Scott kicks Butt awesome ! Queensryche not the same without Scott

I saw them as opening acts a couple of times in the mid 80s. He played with such power i was amazed at how he kept from breaking heads back then. It looked like he was taking full power swings at the snare each time.

THANK YOU MIKE. I APPLAUD YOU. I AM A DRUMMER BEEN A FAN OF. QUEENSRYCHE SINCE THE 80s. I STILL HAVE MY 1986 RAGE FOR ORDER TOUR FROM FORT WORTH, TEXAS.

Great drumming. Those ghost beats on the snare gave me chills.

The energy he puts in to his performance is amazing.

Im 45 now jammed to these guys in my youth and im also a drummer but never really broke down his drumming such skill n precision. Love it

What an AMAZING drummer Scott is. LOVE his style.

Scott "Fuckin" Rockenfield is one bad ass drummer.. I have seen a lot of drummers live and I have to say, he is by far one of the greats...I will give him the horns!!!🤘

He is one awesome drummer. I grew up listening to Scott jam and he was a big inspiration in my life when I was having a hard times trying to stay clean off drugs. Thanks Scott 👍😊

Scott’s amazing he was a big part of the QR sound!

What can i say ,the most imaginative drummer in the rock scene, LOVE HIM.

I learned so much from this guy one of the best

He needs to return to the scene ! way too great of a drummer to be out of the limelight

Damn!! speechless i am....

My first concert was Kiss and Qryche. I was 14 guitar player but I was so blown away by SR. That was so amazing. I wish there were videos of him playing everything off of Warning.

WOW, that was amazing to see from that angle. Great shot! 💕

*I HAVE ALWAYS FREAKING LOVED WATCHING AND LISTENING TO THIS MAN PLAY DRUMS!*

Gear song and excellent drumming! One of my favorite bands!

Always great to see Scott from this drum angle, I'm a big fan of his style!! \m/

Sounds awesome! Very skilled musician.

Scott we love you.keep teaching us.

He is such a passionate drummer! Way cool!

Hands down one of the galaxy's best drummers.

I got to see Queensryche in ‘91 from the third row at the Wheeling, WV Civic Center. They played Mindcrime from start to finish and just about all of Empire with a lot of Rage for Order thrown in. As a young drummer, it was mesmerizing to see Scott’s massive white Tama kit from Empire up close and the sound of the entire band was just incredible. I swear it was like listening to them on CD the whole night. The coolest thing was seeing how he played the groove in Della Brown. There was zero overdubbing on that song, that’s for sure, and I ended up practicing that hi-hat/ride cymbal pattern for hours to get it nailed down. It’s too bad that the band was never quite the same not long after, even though Promised Land and Hear in the Now Frontier had some quality tracks. I wish I could’ve gotten into Tribe, Q2K, and Mindcrime II, but it just never clicked for me.

Love seeing the show from this angle!

i like how he works the bell on the hi hat

Dude is all business back there ! just amazing he plays those drums with purpose and authority man !

His fills aren't difficult. It's the placement which makes them cool !

MAN, this is awesome; I could watch hundreds of hours of videos like this, love the mix. It's always great to see the Master up close, to get the real feel behind the beat. One of my favorites of all time, that I felt never got the recognition as one of the best, unless it came from other hard-core drummers... Thanks.

Very impressive!!

I really like that snare drum sound

Always loved listening to that guy's licks. I don't even play drums (guitar player... just like everyone else) but I've been digging his stuff for 25 years.

Such an underrated drummer. Outstanding musician.

Impressive, love Scott!

This is the best thing ever. I could watch this 100 times.

Jesus, that's some amazing drumming!

Awesome drummer perspective on a great tune. Thanks.

So smooth.

4:36 amazing beat

Snare drum sounds awesome

4:35 the signature queensryche beat

I was at this show, SO KILLER

this is one of my favs now.... great insight from the drummers perspective... he's EXCELLENT!

Perfect interpretation!

Should really be in the conversation as greatest rock drummer of his generation

1 of my top five favorite drummers

Amazing!

I feel like I was there good job Scott

Such a great band

He is so good!

Underrated drummer for sure

VERY underrated drummer. His drum parts are uniquely his. But I can not take the sound of that snare. Also..my hands,wrists and forearms hurt just imagining hitting a drum with that much tension. But none the less..a remarkable player!!!!

My favorite drummer since The Warning came out in 1983. Phenomenal!!!!

Best hard rock / heavy metal drummer ever. Prove me wrong

amazing ghost notes on snare

Scott's snare ghosting is incredible.

Wishing I was there 😊👍

Awesome..I met Scott once..nice guy..always been a huge fan and watching this I realized how much he has influenced my playing...the approach, the feel and groove. I am not in his league of course and have my own style but at some point in your career you see influences in your playing and it is cool. Scott is one of the best..hope to see him with QR again someday.

So friggin' good man.

Good drummer! Nice combos, succinct. And right about the bell affect on the hi-hat ..working it😌

I think one of the reasons why he’s so underrated is that people tend to evaluate drummers on the difficulty level or speed etc and many fail to see just how much feel and tension-release this guy creates behind the kit. My eyes really opened to just how tasty his playing is in -99 when I saw the band live. That was pre RU-vid era so it was the first time I SAW them play and was blown away.

Wow! Didn't realize some of the things happening in this song with the drums. Nice!

never thought of doing bell-shots on the hi hat. tight

always loved his groove!!!

that snare... it has more crack than Detroit in 1985.

4:35, i have always love that part!

I've always felt he was a jazz drummer trapped in a metal band (they were metal in the first half of the 80s I always thought, then petered into hard rock). He is a great drummer. Fits this band so well

Rockn it!

Great drummer!

Scott is awesome. Nice upload. Thanks.

wow.

How did I miss this show?

Incredible timing, crispness and composure. One of the best drummers around.

Nice! And as an added bonus, he didn't even get spit on ;)

GREAT! AWESOME !

Thanks for sharing this video. Scott is one my drumming influences. There are some notable differences from his earlier approach / sound. His snare is much tighter pitched / tuned than the Empire tour. He does some ad-lib fills, something most drummers do after playing a song after many years. He plays the ride cymbal part on the bow of the cymbal, instead of the bell. He is using a washier sounding Sound Formula ride, instead of the Paiste Signature Dry Ride (I use the same ride on rock gigs) which has more focused ping and a clear bell sound. One thing that stays the same is his solid pocket, which he is known for.

That’s how you clam the high-hat.

Song is comfy af

I'm glad I'm not the only drummer adjusting loose mics and and shit on a gig.

So that’s what it looks behind the scenes! Go SCOTTY

Well that was very cool! Never quite seen drummingat this angle!

Thumbs up times a thousand.❤

Bad ass.....awesome

Great Drummer period !!!

Very fucking cool

I dream of eventually working with a drummer who plays like that. So precise...

Bad ass! Youre way underestimated Scott!

Queensryche was just a different kind of band, but in a nutshell they were really a musician's band. Scott Rockenfield... man, what a drummer!

great drummer

Great drummer, lot of variation...unkwown here in France ! Very very good musician !!! In a great band

Wow.

Very tasteful drummer. Loads of cool fills. Funny where his 8'' tom is placed.

He’s the human metronome.

TIGHT drumming . Damn good hard rock drummer.
