Terry is one of the greats. Never caught him with Zappa, but saw him with wife Dale and their band, Missing Persons. Totally original, and finally got to see him crush it live, when he toured the Guitar Shop album with Jeff Beck. A massive talent on stage.
@@ronaldelliott4373 For real? I sure thought that they were Brother and Sister , I must be getting them mixed up with somebody else!! Thanks for the correction Brother!!
Terry is so much more than that wanna be a big kit drummer. His openness, friendly, and want to learn more; and more demeanor puts him at such a gifted level of musicianship. What an inspiration!
Had the pleasure of attending a very amazing clinic with Terry in Harrsburg, PA during the passing of what had been an East-coast hurricane. The power went out at one point so we gathered around and he sat on the edge of the stage and made (like all the Masters) the unimaginably difficult seem not just trivial, but Reachable - by all of us. 2 hours a day, Terry! I will never forget.
Fifty ways to be a drummer! You just grab a pair o sticks man get yourself a good band and practice your rudiments is the key Lee and improve your dexterity. Ta Ta boom it tit Ta boom titi tit tit tit tit boom tit Ta tit Ta boom caah!
Bozzio is one-of-a-kind. And yes, it does seem odd, practically impossible, implausible that he is in his 70s, as someone else has already pointed out.
I am a huge fan of missing persons who I saw live three times, I also saw Terry at a local music store in West LA do a drum solo while I sat on the floor 10 feet in front of him. and I wish Terry would get in another cool band which enabled him to keep cool grooves but also play show off drums, which makes me think it would be cool if Terry would somehow hook up with Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee to form a new band.
What an incredible mind. When Terry described the first beat he said " Like a broken gallop". It is a real joy to watch how his mind/thinking is and the way he expresses his thoughts. Wow.
I'm trying to think of it as a six legged horse. Three legs at the back, one in the middle, and two at the front. To vary the sound I'll get the farrier to put a slightly different temper on the steel of each shoe. 😁
I remember being all excited to see UK live back in the day, especially as Bill Bruford was the drummer. Well Bill wasn't on the kit, they had this guy named Terry Bozo. Let's just say I was not the least bit disappointed. When talking drummers, no one ever mentions Boz, but jeez.....he's just insanely talented.
I was never a Bill bruford fan. His drumming always felt stiff and predetermined meaning it just lacked a certain sense of feel and soul. I saw UK at the Oakland coliseum when they opened for Jethro Tull. It was after Alan holsworth had left. I knew who Terry was from Zappa but holy crap, the UK stuff was just amazing to watch live with those big China pangs that he had hanging way up high and would leap up to. Great show
The glam years. I never knew he once had this fountain of lustrous blond hair. :D I saw him at a drum clinic with a 1000 piece kit. It was like a fort made of drums.
It's cool to hear a "rock" drummer talking about rudiments. Too many rock players tend to overlook the skills that ought to be developed in order to become a more well-rounded player.
He's not really a Rock drummer, he goes way beyond that, he is part of the Zappa family. Some of Frank Zappa's compositions are in 10/13-time signatures!!!!!!!!!! Even some of the best Rock drummers couldn't pull that off!!!!!!
I agree in some ways but All good players know , all great artist knows rudiments. Single, double , triple strokes , Flam, flam tap, Flam triplet , ratmacue,Single - Double - Triple parradidles . Then all the things max roach invented , Triplet fill , quad , by 4 , 5, 6 etc..., between hand and feet. Thoses things beign adapted by Louie Bellson, Sam woodyard , Dave Black , Ginger , Keith , Mitch , Carmine , Cozy , Billy Cobham , Aldridge, mick tucker and so on adapted on 2 feet. With that you can do a lot of things already. If you think musically and melodic. Of course i think its important to know blues drumming, The basic of Jazz drumming , and some funk , with schuffle , purdie schuffle , thr basic of samba beat too. Once you get that you can morph them, cross them in what you hear and want to do.
Cool man! I had the pleasure of studying under Rob Carson at UCLA, and I saw Terry recently as a solo act at Yoshi's in Oakland--he was about a foot away playing one of his smaller "stations" apart from his main monster kit. Amazing work with so many great players.
Been doing flam’d Swiss Army triplets, 2 stroke rolls, ruffs and double paradiddles for a long time, great exercise and very nice texture too. And definitely opens up your sticking.
Europeans have been playing them for centuries before they were called “cheese”. Flammed ruff is the historic name, but mostly translated in some form or fashion from European languages. Also called “a stroke of three” depending on where you are in Europe. “A Study of the Rudiments Used in Foreign Military Drumming Styles” by John K. Galm is an informative read and also available via Google search. Must admit, “cheese” is a very appropriate nickname for the rudiment!
To me as a musician and appreciator of TRUE MUSIC !! Terry Bozzio needs to be decorated officially by established institutions and Ivy league universities or universities around the world as one the most profound and developed Drummers of the 21th first century . There is simply noone at this time even close to his musical knowledge and wisdom when it comes to playing the instrument... well that's just my two cents opinion... 🥇🥇🏆.
I honestly don't know what some of the people commenting are on about. I think Terry looks and plays great here. He's arguably the world's best drummer and has been for years.
This is really good sh-t, especially for a new drummer. My drum teacher would make me play rudiments for 40 minutes, then I got 10 minutes to play the kit. I practiced my rudiments like crazy just to get more kit time.
Zappa: Let go of your pickle! Bozzio: I’m not holding my pickle! Zappa: Who’s holding your pickle then? Bozzio: She’s out in the audience. Zappa: The audience are probably wondering why we call it a pickle...
He was Zappa's favorite drummer for a reason! Zappa's music was so intense and complicated, there were so few drummers that could actually keep up with his music. My first live concert, I was 11 years old my brother took me to a Zappa concert at Robertson Gym at UCSB! Terry was on the drums and became my instant influencer.
@@jameswaddell3348 I think uncle Franck hired Bozio at a very young age and after years with him he just strongly pushed Bozio to move on with his own ideas and material because he felt he didnt have much left to teach him.
@@jameswaddell3348 Colaiuta was definately the best one among them, but Bozzio was my favorite, stage presence and personality wise.. I've seen 4 different Franck Zappa shows all we're amazing shit, way ahead of UK.
I knew where he was going with this as soon as I saw the title. He learned this from a drumcorps guy, and these rudiments are all pretty standard things that high school kids (in good programs) master at a young age. It's always cool to see things jump genres.
Was going to say the same thing, marched corps through highschool until ageout and these are all pretty standard warmup book rudiments. Still cool to see them branched out into other disciplines 👍👍
The flam rough he's talking about in the begging is also known as a cheese or considered as a hybrid rudiment which is the combination of a diddle and flam...very fun rudiment to fool around with
Keep in mind he is older here than he was in Zappa's band. When Zappa was pissed that Terry could play anything that he had already thrown at him, he composed the Black Page just for Terry. And Terry shredded it note for note. There is a small handful of drummers to this day that can play the Black Page flawlessly...Terry is one of them.
Not to throw shade on Terry, but every jazz/fusion drummer worth their salt can play Black Page with a bit of practice, and the best of them can probably just do it on first few sight-readings. It's an insane piece of music, but it is not all that hard to play once you wrap your head around the quintuplets, septuplets and what have you in there.
I do like the sound of pop corn popping and tastes good too but it sticks in my teeth for days so now I will listen to Terrie and then I won't tear my gums to bits getting bits of pop corn out. Good post .You have helped my gums God bless you.
Rob Carson was my private instructors arch nemesis. He never beat him even once. I saw his 71 solo as a 16 year old and the dude was on fire. I was only 9 at the time. The hybrid rudiments they play now are really advanced. My son teaches for BDB pit.
Single flammed mills are one of the most challenging flam rudiments, but once you can handle it confortably you can master wonderfull sorts of dinamics with reminiscent rhytmic voices upsurging from the drum itself... simple quintessencial fullfilment.
I LOVE the humility this drummer has Who is he? What band is he famous for having played in? Lazy drummers are among up with those with which I will not put.
dope... sticking with guitar because my twitch is finger, not fore-arm and hips. golly what a drummer. his resume is superb... nobody is this good today.
