This. This is the greatest musical series on TH-cam. A huge thank you to Zildjian
agreed
Check out Fic first live jam session,it also great!
Fuck yes it is
I think so.
Both Meinl and Zildjian.
I wanted to be Omar Hakim when I was growing up! I’m 49 years old and still wanna be him growing up!...👏🏾👏🏾
Yeah that sting documentary was when I got hooked and still riding his bells and I'm 54 him and Harvey Mason just damn
buddiec41 absolutely bro, I agree 100%. There are some amazing young drummers today but not sure they will have the same impact as an Omar or Harvey, these guys are legends.
Ahh -- so it wasn't "just me" huh?
same, 52
The name of the first tune if you know dude.
What a great drummer and humble person. A true legend!🙏🏼🙌🏼
What an absolute JOY it is to watch the wide spectrum of emotions Omar goes through while composing this piece. It's so incredible that Zildjian and Vic are providing amazing content like this to us at no cost. A huge thank you to everybody involved with these videos.
Dude, are you related to the other Baumgartner who restore damaged paintings?
ricche ryend I’m not but I have been asked that before! That and Felix Baumgartner are the two big ones people ask me about 😝
Why would people PAY to see an ad?
Amen.
I want to give your comment another thumbs up but I’m only allowed one. 👍
This Omar Hakim guy seems quite good, I’m sure he could make a living out of drumming.
Olof Nylén I'm sure you could make a living out of telling shitty jokes
Thomasgipsy 😂🤣
@@Hhhlll7778 onfn calm down😂
LOL
@@Hhhlll7778 lol and they both do
Omar Hakim is one of my all time favorite drummers!
Love Omar. First heard him on Dream Of The Blue Turtles by Sting back in the 80's. Stellar player.
I’ve got all these performances on my favourites and I’m not even a drummer it’s just great music
I own drums and I occasionally hit them.. these guys are the real players 👍
Please don't sleep on that guitar solo freaking beautiful
Respect to you Omar still firing but with musicality and knowing when to stay in the pocket 💯
When you listen to Omar play drums you automatically feel good. That's how i'd describe his playing.
I’m taking in that Sput brought over the Snarky format to this series, which is so awesome to see
I first heard Omar Hakim on Sting’s first solo album, “The Dream of the Blue Turtles.” I played my cassette over and over and over again. Sting put together an awesome band for that album: Omar Hakim-drums, Kenny Kirkland-keys, Daryl Jones-bass, Branford Marsalis-saxophones, Janice Pendarvis & Dolette McDonald-background vocals.
Omar’s use of the ride cymbal and the hi-hats were so innovative and creative. It was sooo unlike the stuff I had been listening to. There was just an absolute pocket in every song. That album was just a sample of what Hakim could do. Sting released a double-live album from the Blue Turtles tour with the same band that featured songs from his first album and songs from The Police!! But those songs were revamped in such a way that made them so fresh. That album is called “Bring On The Night” and if you’re even remotely interested in Sting, The Police, or Omar Hakim, then I highly suggest that you get it. You will not regret it. Omar is so tight yet so loose I don’t even know how to describe it. He has a lot of help from that incredible band, particularly Kenny Kirkland on keys and Branford Marsalis on tenor and soprano saxes.
I could go on but I think I’ve said plenty, and that’s just his work with Sting. I remember going out and buying Sting’s second solo album, “...Nothing Like The Sun” and being a little bummed out because Omar wasn’t on it. Instead it was a guy by the name of Manu Katche. I ended up loving that album just as much as the first one.
Cheers.
Well said
Manu is also an animal.
@@Erotified When I think of Manu I think of the word "finesse." He can slam in the pocket but I like what he does on songs like Englishman In New York and so many others on "...Nothing Like The Sun."
@@drewper73 I was using animal as just a general term for being very good.
Neil Gotcha.
it's so refreshing to see and hear Omar. Lately, young drummers would be forgiven for assuming that the gospel chop/church inspired style was all there was out there!! Plus, this dude is one of the most recorded session artists of our times. This dude doesn't just play on sessions, this guy plays on hits!
I get what you saying but alot of drummers come out of church. And I'm pretty sure he did as well
@@morrispurnell9956 It is the old school feel I miss with all lot of those guys. What they can do is astonishing at times, but it is more like drumming as field sports or martial arts, not music. Omar just sounds like he has played a lot of music. He played on that Daft Punk hit from a few summers ago for example and all he does on that is a disco beat..bam, the tune becomes a smash hit. That's what I mean.
@@takedshineov3366 His drumming on daft punk's song "Contact" is fantastic
What do you guys mean by gospel chops?
@@kbxcomix2 Eric Moore
Truly a Legend in the drumming community! Kudos to you sir Omar Hakim! Not to mentiion Jonathan Mones' awesone sax solo!!!
The sax solo is really unbelievable
This is the man who sealed the deal for me when I was 10 years old. “I’m playing the drums.” One of my all time favorites.
Omar's going to be blowing people's minds well into his 80s.
Amazing energy
The guy is a Machine. Amazing drummer.
Yes yes yes!!!! I agree!!!
Just like Gadd is doing and soon Dennis too
😊😊
When everyone plays in the style of gospel chops, i mean drumming, these old folk, who is a genius musician sounds like fresh air.
Best drum face expressions ever!!! 😂😂
Hes my fav drummer. I started drumming cuz of him when I saw his old videos on VHS. Thank you Omar
I'm a bass player, but Omar and Manu Katche were the first drummers that really caught my ear (other than maybe Mitch Mitchell).
That introduction was so 70's announcer's style. Love Omar Hakim's style, pocket, attitude, since 1991 at the Guitar Center drum Dept. playing his Zildjian VHS tapes I was captivated. 🤙
Here's a PRIME example of successfully riding the TH-cam Tidal 🌊 wave surf!!! The 🥁 drumsticks literally disappear right before your 👀, are you kidding me? Shades of Billy Cobham, Buddy Miles, Buddy Rich, Sonny Emory, Adam Deitch; the ability to perform 128th rolling riffs is possessed by only the exospheric elite of drummers, Spectacular Countdown Conclusion in a SMOOTH JAZZ 🎵 Funk ending 👏👏👏🏆🏆🏆!!!!
The king of rhythm and soul music OMAR HAKIM. Keep it going brother.
Amazing! 🔥🔥🔥 Who keeps coming back to this in 2023?
2024!!
Im here again 2024
Larnell and matt greiner my favorite oh and ash soan and Thomas Pridgen
Can’t get enough of this
Marvin McQuitty would definitely be on here. RIH sir Marv
Oh man, that would’ve been a treat!!!
Omar hakim is a living legend!!!!
The first drummer I really got into back in the 80s when I started playing andcstill one of my absolute favourites. The most versatile of them all and a true musician who happens to play the drums. Those who try to turn drumming into an Olympic sport, please take note. Thank you Omar.
Matt Bennett Well put Matt. It’s not about all the acrobatics. However, drummers like Weckl, Colaiuta, Chambers, and Larnell Lewis are some of my all-time favorites. It’s about knowing when to do a triple somersault off the balance beam and when not to.
Omar Hakim was huge inspiration to me as a young player. Great to witness him in this context with a level of documented detail that allows us to appreciate his artistry and active engagement in the music. Still killin after 50 years! Congrats!!! Kudos to the players and the production crew. Thank you.
you will never see such a well true pro drummer as him in all gen music / he studies every day and still says we all still learn every day . well done love to see him play every time great pocket drummer groove , he has got the lot
Omar hakim is 1 of my favorite drummers. Definitely legendary 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
AAAAWWW HERE IT GOES! Omar Hakim! One of the best from Zildjian! Great job alwaysss!!
Yo! I love this song from Omar! I heard him as a kid play this song at a clinic. And I never got the name of it! Nostalgia from it!
One of the Greatest of All Time! Omar! You are amazing!
S/O to Omar Hakim, been a fan for years, and Mono Neon, dope bassist, and the rest of these talented artists.
Awesome job
Sir Omar and Zildjian!
Let’s also appreciate Michael League and Snarky Puppy for bringing this trend of live performances back into the scene...after watching all the VF jams and Zildjian Live And seeing people like Ghost Note and Sput also doing his thing... i think it’s good to acknowledge Mike and his works too.
Of course Mike wasn’t the first , there are other great musicians like Dave Grusin and Lee Ritenour that had such live studio performances in front of live audiences. But Mike and SP brought it back very strongly to this generation.
Thanks Michael.
Love Snarky Puppy and their crew!!:-)
Omar Hakim is one of these very underrated drummers, however one of the best ever to me.
Who underrates him? He is well renowned in the music community, especially in the drummers community.
no. he is not underrated.
??? He's not underrated at all, dude. Omar's been hovering around the top of the drumming foodchain for well over three decades and any pro knows this all too well.
He is not underrated 😂
Man what a legend and what was even more impressive was how grateful and humble he is. That alone speaks volumes. Thank you Omar for your amazing contribution not only to the drumming community, but more importantly to the music community. #LEGEND
And here I was thinking Crowley mostly enjoyed German music from the 30s to mid 40s...
you noticed at 6:53! i thought i was the only person who recognized him haha. i remember the good days of the supernatural tv series.
@@JuniorShepherd Haha, yes!
My goodness!!! Omar Hakim is a human metronome. I enjoyed listening to this! The chemistry between Omar and the rest of the band is simply awesome. I love that base guitar player. Thank you Zildjian!
Omar , I love your playing from day 1 and watching this video got me feeling excited how legendary your drumming is , here's to 50 years and many more times to come.
Bring Dennis Chambers in! Omar Hakim is a pure beast! Who remembers the movie with Sting inside the Castle? And omar hakim was on drums killing it!
OH = Class act, all the way, as always... Great band and overall production
Such amazing an skilled musicians! An inspiration to watch and listen to! Thanks to Zildjian! 🤘🤘
Omar Hakim it's amazing drummer and musician! Thank you @zildjianlive for inviting him!!!!
Obrigado, Zildjian! Obrigado por proporcionar esse registro de sentimento real que podemos notar no som do Omar Hakim com uma verdadeira entrega de corpo e alma! Maravilhoso.
That drum kit sounds like the best angels from heaven assembled it !!
Well Omar does take hours and hours to fine tune his kits…very important to him.
Omar continues to be "The Truth"!! I had the pleasure of meeting him and him playing my humble kit and sparking it to greatness! God lives
in you!
I was smiling so much the whole time. What a great player and performance
LOVE-LOVE-LOVE this series... thanks, Sput & Ghost-Note crew & Zildjian!! Omar Hakim...one the planet's very best human beings! & drummers...
It's a privilege to see this footage of Omar Hakim! Absolute legend - a musician, technician and the emotion!!
So much LOVE and PASSION in this video. i can't help but keep smiling and feel the joy when watching it (although i just having some bad day before). The open drum sound and the sweet cymbal sound feel so refreshing and bold, and that amazing tastefully playing. Thank you Zildjian, and Love you Mr. Omar Hakim :)
Omar ... that was beautiful ... love that composition also ... "Convergence"
🎶🥁
We as drummers have a lot to learn from Omar and his attitude towards music.I am big fun since the 90s.
Eeehhh what a melody 😮 And I look at Mr Omar who follows the chorus of the saxophone with precision. 🎉 Looks like they're summoning angels from heaven 😇. Thanks zildjian🙏
They bought a legend in thanks zildjian. Happy 50th mr hakim.
I totally forgot how tasteful this man is...what a musical genius...he pushes, pulls, attacks, retracts, swings and relaxes....I'm so glad I listened to this on a pair of well tuned YAMAHA HS80s in a treated room....the tuning of those drums....and then there's the arrangement-the underlying movements ..... TOTAL OVERLOAD 🇹🇹🔥...Twas like a journey in time....brought to mind some of my early cont jazz listening....Yellowjackets, Rippingtons, Koinonia...sigh...soooo muchhhh in here. Came back to add...then there's the way he brings in each section
Dude is 60!! Doesn't look a day over 40.
Wow, he made that look so easy!!! I would love to play music with you guys. All of you are AWSOME musicians.
👍🙂👍
Living legend. Loved this performance!
Great Artist drummer Mr.Omar Hakim ! FROM D.D. >>>"a cool funky groove" drummerworld short video >>>th-cam.com/users/shortshFKdry-KnQA?feature=share
Omar H.
Isn't he a legend now !?
I had the opportunity to meet him when I was working at MANNY'S MUSIC on w.48th (NYC) in the 80's , I did stock work so I had to get him 2 types of cymbals that he uses and when I did come to the counter with them I mistakenly stepped on his foot ( for the bass drum) and man he gave me a look like he was going to kick my ass til' I quickly apologized then he smiled at me and gave me an autograph ! TRUE story! ☝️😎
escuto Omar Hakim a mais de vinte anos,como sempre com muita musicalidade e um ótimo senso de humor,muito show.
Fantastic every time I watch it. Those are some bright and shiny cymbals!
Excellent job by the performer, engineers and Zildjian on that cymbal sound! Wowzers! Squeaky clean and dynamic! Incredible
That was off the hook!!!!! Outstanding
Without question the best of the best!! And like the BEST usually does, they make it look easy.. thank you to everyone responsible here especially Zildjian ...
One the greats! Such a good performance! And that sax solo!...I got chills
Absolutely astounding and amazing! Does the brand ZILDJIAN JUSTICE BABY! A true player! And K as well and any other ZILDJIAN
Wow Mono Neon and Omar Hakim!!!
A perfect fit!
A true legend and sooo humble! The best usually are.
Long time has been passing, but Omar is still Omar. What incredible groove, taste, feel, ideas and touch. He's been my favorite drummer since 1982 when I first saw him in Weather Report.
Black dont crack! Compare hw omar has aged compared to the likes of Vinnie and Weckl!😂 im just sayin.
Does this guy age?
(No is the answer by the way.)
Love you Omar. Thanks Zildjian.
THE
GROOVE
SMITH
Damn this man is an inspiration
I've always enjoyed Omar's Command of the beat! HE will let the groove know where the 1 is!
Mono neon!!!!!
LOVE listening to and watching Mr. Omar Hakim!!!!
le vecchie generazioni che suonavano moltissimo dal vivo hanno una marcia in più delle nuove che fanno musica da box
Beautiful! Been a huge fan of Omar since the David Sanborn Night Music days.
Omar Akim. He is one of the many drummers that I grew up following and learning from , he is A pillar on which today's young drummers are standing on, when I saw him chop. With Zildjian Live. WOW!!!!
The best of the best of the best, Sir!
I wanna jam out to this track w 👻 📝
Thank you Omar Hakim. OG!!!
amazing groove and phrase
legend.
Pure Bliss, Ghost note guys, you rock!!!!!
Omar exudes the true happiness music can bring to the human soul, the look on his face at the 2:51 mark nails it. That's what it's all about, thank you Omar for continuing to inspire and thank you to Zildjian for continuing to inspire.... Cheers!!!
5:53 Even Larnell Lewis enjoy that talent
Came here to see if anyone else noticed him lol
Exactly and larnell and literally a machine
well, its quite ovious, that omar had some influence on him if it comes to style =)
Omar hakim never fails to impress with his all out jamming style of fluidity, speed, and fearlessness!!
As time goes by, Omar Hakim just keeps getting better and better!!! What a super human performance by everyone!!
The housebound doesn’t get enough credit. Those musicians are extraordinary. Their own solos are on par with the performance of the guests. I’m glad I found this channel
I’ve been looking at this series on TH-cam and one thing stands out. Ghost-Note is TIGHT!
A lot of cats concentrate to much on the chops but not enough on kit sound.
Set them straight Omar, set them straight.
Legend 💯
Great playing and production!
Omar Hakim is just flat out Solidly Smooth.
The best at it!
God bless Omar.
Smooth as silk. Pure class 👍🏻
Thanks Zildjian live and thanks Mr Omar Hakim.
Amazing music!! I love all of this content!! Its soooooooo refreshing to see REAL musicians!!!
Absolutely amazing.. Such a monster talent.
