Was lucky enough to know Gil when he just started playing drums as we were good friends as children and teenagers. He's no doubt gotten better since then, but I still can't help to think that he basically played with that much class as a teenager in jazz band at school, which is mind blowing. I remember feeling just as excited watching him play then as I do now. Definitely a prodigy and a major world talent on the drums. Congrats, Gil!
Heh. One single sentence changed everything. "Lead from the elbow". This just clicked in my head and presented itself as a missing link in translating Moeller successfully into practice. Thank you!
I learned so much from this, even as a 20+ year drummer. Excited to work some stuff out! Also, I got a lot of validation from this, because I taught myself drums by playing along to the Beatles, and a lot of things Gil discusses as 'old school in a modern context' I can do because Ringo did them, and I learned to play like him all those years ago. If this video was a VHS, I'd wear it out!
Drumeo And some people say non-classical music has no order, just chaos. By listening to it more, it’s actually a complicated or different structure of it’s own(on every song i mean). Beautiful! But knowing this, one can say some songs are just 💩😅
When I watch drummers at interest me, and Gil is one of them. I wonder Gil as a teacher, what’s his recommendation concerning a practice schedule and for how long?
think of the awesome versatility he has, it's insane! extreme playing with TDEP, solid heavy rock with Manson, reggae at 2011 MD fest, this opening tune... he's absolutely phenomenal!
Man, this guy just blew my mind. Great teacher, great speaker, very clear in everything he says. And his playing is really really impressive. I'm speechless
First off, thank you so much Drumeo! another very inspiring drum lesson!! Gil is an absolute beast and I relate to the "I'm a Musician" sentiment. I regularly play Rock/Metal but I also gig as a Jazz Drummer and Play for a 50's rock tribute band and have a Latin Jazz/Afro background. Musical Language and Versatility only expands your artistic vision when it comes to making up drum parts. Great inspiration Gil!!
Don't know much about this drummer, but I'm thoroughly impressed and will be researching him to find out more info. His drumming definitely speaks for itself. Really concise and well relayed instructions to the audience both experienced and inexperienced players. Also, he covered several genres of music, very, very different from one another and sounded masterfully on each style. Great, lesson and even greater chops! Keep on jamming man.
The opening is very important! Derek Roddy is one of the fastest drummer out there and he had a challenge on this forum who could play a simple beat the slowest without losing precision. That's something to think about...
Derek is a funk dude. The change for him was death metal. When he grew up he was listening Kansas and Mahavishnu . While mahavishnu was extreme too but he has that culture, he loves chick webb
Happy birthday to me! Awesome to see and hear Sharone's take on applying time-tested mechanics to present-day vocabulary. Thanks much to Gil and Drumeo!!! ...btw, at around 24:00, it looks like the fast doubles with sticks on the snare incorporates finger movement for both hands (hard to see w/ camera angle); and hands on leg incorporates small moeller movement (watch the elbow). So, it's kinda 'splitting hairs', but neither are completely wrist-isolated movements. Defintely true, it's not bouncing, but at these faster speeds, the adjacent joints to the wrist have to help out to keep the articulation of the doubles even. Thought it's worth the observation since we're talking the fine points of technique. Thanks again!
I remember seeing a glorious reggae video from him years ago. And I saw that when Travis barker broke his arm, Gil learned all of Travis’ set in the plane ride over and subbed for him at warped tour or some shit.
Gil, I need input, what stock size do you use and are you a fan of nylon tips for cymbal and ride techniques and clarity? I’ve been using 5AN but wish there was a longer taper and increased length. The Vic Firth extreme 5AN have the length, but the taper adds too much weight personally to the end.
Im just asking, so don't go angry on me :) 23:10, isn't it about fingers, not wrists? because, as I see, he doesn't hold it and lock it with right hand. So he's fingers is open for that hand for sure, camera shows thats. Or maybe it is okay for that kind of technique?
I see what you're saying. To me (and I am no expert) he is keeping his hands loose, so when he moves his wrist, the fingers open up from the palm naturally. But he isn't using his fingers to move the stick. I was always taught to not hold the sticks very tightly in your hands. Enough so they don't fly out of your hands, but you want the stick to have some freedom. If that makes sense?
Gil practice your Burru beat... And the first tune of the Ska medley by WST the b section is actually a Burru beat them back to the a section with the Ska shuffle. Regardless good work brother. Drumeo check out Scott Abels the former drummer for Hepcat who's an amazing Ska, Rocksteady, and Reggae drummer. Regardless thanks Drumeo for featuring Jamaican music which is subconsciously responsible for so much modern music. Much Love and Light, AG.
Dam if those Acrylic drums don't sound nice. Powerful sounding too. My next kit was going to be maple shells. But now, I'm not so sure. I'll have to suss this. I'm sure acrylics are lighter.
Anyone who ever played in dillinger is an absolute beast, but his grooves were always the tastiest.
Thanks drumeo, awesome vid!

Honestly your not wrong
yup in my book gil comes straight after the one and only chris pennie

One of my favourite drummers for sure...that LEGEND can play any speed, any style, any band...genius!! Go Gil

That some great advice when Gil says, "you do you "! You need to learn at your own pace.
It sounds so incredible and fun when you also hear the melody part on the drums. They don’t just “keep the tempo”. ❤️ - from a violinist/violist
Definitely! 🙂

Man! Amazing drummer, and again Drumeo making a huge diference in the drum word!
Thanks dudes
Hugs from Brazil, one day I hope to meet you guys
Gil is so amazing. Such a great teacher with a wealth of knowledge.
Gill is one of my fav drummers playing any genre
I first saw this guy on one of the Modern Drummer Festival DVDs. This guy ROCKS!!!! Love anyone that can play solid reggae!
When I watch drummers at interest me, and Gil is one of them. I wonder Gil as a teacher, what’s his recommendation concerning a practice schedule and for how long?
Love the way Gil teaches, so easy to grasp, awesome inspiration!
Gil Sharone is the man, always been one of my favorites. I think I asked for him to be on Drumeo awhile back, glad to finally see him here.
think of the awesome versatility he has, it's insane! extreme playing with TDEP, solid heavy rock with Manson, reggae at 2011 MD fest, this opening tune... he's absolutely phenomenal!
I love that the drums won't even budge, but the hihat is just dancing around lmao
Man, this guy just blew my mind. Great teacher, great speaker, very clear in everything he says. And his playing is really really impressive. I'm speechless
Awesome Gil Sharone ! I love that drummer. One of my favorites.
Very under the radar and underrated, but by far one of the greatest living drummers. Still my favourite of the Dillinger drummers
Had no idea Gil’s playing went this deep! So good!!
Drumming is a complete universe … I love it
25:17
I just have to time stamp his quote here. This is worth a million dollar advice no matter what level you are at.
Finally you guys get Gil sharone my favourite
Very practical & accessible that's easy to digest and not overstuffed with licks, chops and fills. Good work Gil & Drumeo. Thank you.
This gentleman is quickly becoming my favorite personality drama to follow skill level is off the charts
Master of his craft
First off, thank you so much Drumeo!

Been waiting for this! Finally! Gil is a beast!
Maintain this man's approach to playing and knowing many genres of music, and you will have a long and busy career..
Absolutely loved it, thank you guys, glad I know about this lesson, ill keep coming back

I really like the way Gil lays things out and demonstrates. Good stuff.
Gil is the great drummer from Stolen Babies!!
i still remember their myspace page
That’s the name! Couldn’t think of it, thank you!

Golden Attitude and information 🙏🏽
I was so happy to see this video released. Great stuff!

That ride cymbal is pure jazz sound * __*
Can confirm this. It was the first additional cymbal I ever bought... Amazing in sound (and expensive af..)
Really great time watching! Great lesson!
My kinda guy. Hats off sire with what you started the discussion with. Thank you.
Great technique of Gil Sharone ♥️ love this video🥁🎵👌🏼
One of my favorite!👌😉
Awesome Video ! Hand & Foot exercices looks great, I'll try them on my next drum session !
Not the Buddy Sharone hahaha! The kinda drums that make the hair on my arm stand up 👆
I remember seeing a glorious reggae video from him years ago. And I saw that when Travis barker broke his arm, Gil learned all of Travis’ set in the plane ride over and subbed for him at warped tour or some shit.
I'm impressed! Not many people have a good jazz feel today.
Awesome lesson!
When he played that ska tune- beast mode
WOW
Love this classic Buddy arrangement!
Gil Sharone is just a great player !!
this lesson was sooooo cool, I just loved it.
Gil is the fucking man!!! So versatile!! True genius on drums 👌
This is awesome! Thanks Drumeo
lol so fresh so clean...awesome heard it. where did gil learn to play?
Amazing drum sound
I loved it bravo
Cool tracks😎
This dude is a legend
I've recently subscribed to drumeo and I dont know if this has been suggested before but why dont you get guest drummers to help with covers?
Gil, I need input, what stock size do you use and are you a fan of nylon tips for cymbal and ride techniques and clarity? I’ve been using 5AN but wish there was a longer taper and increased length. The Vic Firth extreme 5AN have the length, but the taper adds too much weight personally to the end.
Back to my roots yessiii
PREACH
Nuttville buddy rich awesome song.
Really nice stick attack on those toms.
JACKSON AXE
That’s the acrylic shell for you.
fabulous drummer...
Like all his gear, DW, Zildjian, remo and I think vater
Such a cool drummer.
Im just asking, so don't go angry on me :)

Fucking finally! One of the best drummers and best drum channel.

Wow GilSharone man! Incredible drumming, kinda like a rockier version of David Cola 😆🔥🔥🔥
Very good👍
The best ska lesson on youtube
Its owesome
Great video
How about applying modern techniques to classic styles?? That would be dope
Muy buena demostración
Hey, why did you remove the TDEP playthroughs? Did Relapse stick their nose?
Very underrated drummer
the second song has a straight patton / NIN / deftones vibe. might as well be chino singing?
can assure you about Chino (not quite sure about Mike Patton), but the overall vibe on that one is straight as you described it
It's exactly what you think it is, the song is called 'Brief Exchange' ft. Chino Moreno. It's off DC's Dark Knights Metal Soundtrack
@@yeetyee7066 thanks!
@@podhditalia np
Maestro.
What snare is that??? Sounds soo good
Bravo beau travail
Cooking!

One of the songs reminds me of Alice in Chains.
It couldn't sound more like AIC if it was hanging from Jerry's dick
