THE DRUMS (1935-2022) | THE GROOVES YOU NEED TO KNOW (feat. Gregg Bissonette)

23 minutes long without a single word about Neil Peart or Rush. May as well be talking about the best guitar players while leaving out Hendrix or EVH. The omission is glaring, he obviously had a grudge of some kind.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Gregg is a national drumming treasure.

Neil Peart?

I could watch and listen to this all day.

I did not want this Beato edition to end. Always respected Bissonette, but this was a rare gift. Thank you both.

Should've had some Jimmy Chamberlain!

I have watched this video at least four times in the last week or so. Love it!

Georgeous, that is.

i don´t need to know these grooves. I only need to know my own song´s grooves.

Tip of the hat to Gregg. A walking encyclopaedia of drumming, a whirlwind of enthusiasm and a fantastic player.

I feel like if Greg bissonnette would learn to sing he would go streight to Rod Stewart impersonations 😂😂

who is carl palmer

FASCINATING! Thank you, Gregg and Rick!

I first saw Gregg (along with Dennis, Vinnie, Will Calhoun and Simon Phillips, et al) on a Zildjian Days video when I was about 12 years old. I wore that VHS tape out! Always loved his energy back there. Also, hearing his Rosanna groove makes me feel a little better about mine and gives me even more respect for Jeff's. But I also love what he says about not necessarily transcribing a beat exactly but playing in the "style" or "spirit" of a drummer or a song. Interpretation is almost always more interesting than imitation. (Except on some of those particularly iconic beats where the audience knows every note.)

Gregg is one of the best if not the best drummer in our lifetime, his skill level is off the charts. Great interview Rick...

There is a new ligue of drummers marking the new age and development of music. Puts all drummers in theres shade: Kanade Sato and Senri Kawaguchi.

Ive said it once Ill say it a million times - watching drummers is SO INFECTIOUS. Its like watching someone exercise and actually going, “god I WISH I could go do that!”

God. Whenever I watch someone play drums, I cry in guitarist/bassist - my instrument can be quiet and far less expensive. I would kill to have access to an acoustic kit. (Or electric)

He has voice like Steve Perry

Beat machine. God damn. He can play anything.

What an absolute treat! Cheers for this Rick.

Man, I wish I had these Guys help me tune my Drums to sound as sweet as these sounded !. Yes, they were miked, but no EQs were used. As a Hobbyist Drummer, at 71 YO, I resurrected Playing after 50 YEARS [1969], in retirement, about 1 Hour a day to My Music (all of which is in this Video). Way Back thenin 1967-69 when I was learning and playing with some HS Buddies in a Garage Band, I never knew anything about Tweaking and Tuning Drums. That Included trying Different Heads, etc. I know better Now. But I struggle with Tuning to get to those Sweet spots. I've watched tons of drum tuning videos including Rick's videos, but just can't get there!.

Oh Gregg, that's the best Porcaro I've heard. Light, airy, flowy....Wonderful!!

We need the purdy shuffle!

Enormous talent and so much love for music

drummers are amazing

I want his energy.

This was so fun and educational . I can't believe how much I missed in my life so great to see a drummer that lives thru all the music !

I took years of lessons, Gregg covered most of it. This was awesome.

Larry Larry where ya goin to ?

sooooooo good!

I rewatch this just to be encouraged by Greg’s enthusiasm!

What a natural entertainer!! Also Rick should be on TV, have enjoyed many hours watching this guy.

Super guy…great demos

Would love a similar video with a great funk drummer! 😎

Cross between Alex Lifeson and Jeff Daniels... and I'll have what he's having

He's like the Buddy Guy of drums

Goddamn I'm 31 and I just started drumming 4 months ago. I got a loooong way to go........

Wow this was very interesting. I'm not a drummer but this guy had me watching the whole vlog. Great job 👍... gilcortez from Grand Prairie Texas

Gregg Bissonette is the worst one trick pony I know of, because he knows and can play anything with energy, nerve, groove and passion !!! :D

very sympathetic guy

Shout out from Mott High School... Warren Michigan.

I didn’t realize the drums passed away last year.

Pinky is out Waste of energy.

David Lee Roth’s band with him, Vai, & Sheehan was the top of the food chain, elite, and then some.

What a great guy!

And: modern drummers don't use the high-hat like that anymore because it's fking difficult, ie. needs lots of practice.

the pertty shuffle

Krupa's was my first beat learned . I played Wipeout in 6th grade with double stroke rolls. Blew away the other kids!

Gregg Bissonette - thank you for making the Joe Satriani's Extremist album so great. It's the best Joe's album ever because of your playing on it. 👍👍👍 If I were to hire a drummer for a session, it would be YOU. 😉
