JR Groove Master!! 👌🏻So musical and groovin!! Love it!! One of my favourite drummers of all time!!
Its easy to bag this performance, I guess you've all recorded with Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones, Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood and so on and so on.
Respect one of the masters of groove, while listening to "Higher love" by Steve Winwood, or "Rock with you" by Michael Jackson.
Nicely said… When I read some of the ignorant comments it blows my mind. These people have no idea what a genius JR is....
this is what so ironic...if you showed this to someone who did not know who JR is, they would think, "pretty good drummer, but let's be honest, there are hundred much better...and today on the NAMM floor, just as many in the building"...then you remind them creating grooves for songs is what drumming is really about, not blowing in front of students...some get this, many do not.
There indeed a hundred drummers with bigger chips than JR, but none of those drummer come close to being the musician that JR is. The same goes Jim Keltner and Jeff Porcaro and the other Session Greats, as they had an understanding of Social Music that made people want to hire them.
And I agree it all about the Groove and about serving the song, which is why Ringo and Charlie Watts are held in such esteem
His song touch is always super ear friendly who cares if his para-noodles aren't 300 bpm's. Legend
"Not a great soloist" lol, according to what measure exactly? This guy may not be a technician on the level of Virgil Donati, or Chad Whackerman, but soloing is not the point of being a drummer, that's just icing on the cake. JR baked some of the the greatest cakes the world has ever tasted, and you're all maoning about how he won't let you eat the frosting right out of the jar. lmao, eat your cake, nerds.
His drumming on Daft Punk Random Access Memories is my favorite of all.
@ Shane Martin - Ah yes you master drummer you! Perhaps you would like to compare resumes with Mr. Robinson? His technique may not be up to your ‘expert’ approval but he gets the big gig calls and HAS been getting the big gig calls for decades - do you? So ok pumpkin, let’s talk again about how terrible his left hand and timing is....DERP.
Like to see posture relax and strong hits
A musical drummer
Questo video è una miniera d'oro. Le cose ci sono, solo che sono nascoste. Su John Robinson ci sono pochi video su TH-cam, mentre invece è un grandissimo batterista.
What is the year, 1985 1986?
1985. The Michael McDonald album he mentions is "No Lookin' Back"
Master
Is there only one master?
All you have to do is see how he uses the fulcrum properly and listen. So important to appreciate real musicians playing a real instrument especially these days with all the synthetic non sense on the air waves today
Great career playing pop music. Worst drum solo on youtube.
You don't have a clue what you're talking about
Interesting reading some negative comments on here. What this dude does is incredibly hard.
Don’t worry about the soloing he does..that’s not something he’s ever focused on.
I completely agree with you. He is a master and a legend. The songs he recorded drum tracks on are beyond incredible. Many drummers could never pull off replicating his grooves. When I read the ignorant comments I have to just sit back and laugh.
Also, it was YEARS ago! Pretty sure he has refined his solo approach.
Ppĺ
@@danlc95 Yes, people comment on videos without any historical context. They compare drum solos of today with solos from 40 years ago as if the world were the same place.
The first thing my drum/music teachers ever tried to teach me was to have an appreciation of music history.
This guy actually got to work when there was a real music business. He did everything required to become one of the most recorded drummers in history.
@@mancuniancandidatem - So well said. Thank you!
JR Robinson!! One of the most recorded drummers ever!! Not many players have had a career like JR!! Simplicity, LESS IS MORE is what he says and demonstrates and got him a stellar career!! YES!!!
the drummer with the smallest penis too. I've never heard a more egotistical drummer in my life. what's his problem
@@mattmarkus4868 are we listening to the same guy???? I hear JR talking truth without ego. These guys know what they are doing. I have NEVER thought JR sounded egoistical.
I wouldn’t give one gnat shit about a drum solo if I was Quincy Jones’ first call! And JR is. Few if any guys get royalties and cred for their lifetime and beyond for a damn solo. But you’ll hear JR on nearly every music platform for many more decades, if not much longer.
Terrible, Selfish Profession
I love the story of how he replaced the drum part after the original drummer on George Benson's version of "Beyond the Sea". Everything else was kept and he came in the replace what the other drummer did. That's amazing since it's a big band tune and replacing the drum track means you have to be totally on with the timing and feel. This is why he gets the studio calls... because he's the man!
JR is undeniably a groove master and his solos are interesting and musical. What's really odd is that he plays 100% heel-down with his right leg but when he plays double bass things, he uses his whole leg on the left side. Whatever works and I certain have no credentials to say he's wrong. Not a single person in this comment section who has criticized him, has played on a hit song and I'll bet less than 10% of them have made a dime playing music.
The soloing is terrible, it doesn't groove at all.
@@chrisscott6417 keep working skip, you’ll get it one day
As one of my fave drummers jr is the king of groove and pocket in song structure....drum solos really arent what you judge him by...
Funny to watch his shirt get more and more soaked with sweat as the video progresses.
Great energy...JR is a very positive guy which is probably 50% of studio work...the HANG! He is VERY consistent in his playing...if you cant play consistent, simply to the level you can and build upward...in levels
It's funny, his performances at drum shows never give you any indication of the most important part of drumming, and that is how he sounds playing the songs. All these young turks will sound much more impressive than John but who gets the gigs? Who make the damn music sound wonderful?
Fills always get the thrills…The groove pays the bills 💵 👌🏼
He was covered in sweat at the end of his solo intro.
Man, this looks like a lifetime ago. Such a young guy, but already a successful session player.
Robinson, Pocaro and Latham - Studio legends with great time! You could gauge a metronome on their playing!
what year is this?
why did he take that muffle off that snare....I would have had drum loops for years lol
awesome!! x1.000.000
What tune is talking about on 21:10?
Aint nobody chaka khan
What drumsticks was he using
He used to be a Regal Tip endorse
These days ,his own signature model by Innovative Percussion
JR or the CUNT in the audience clicking his sticks?
Awesome! One of my favorites 👍👍👍👍👍🥁
What year was this video from?
Cocaine is a helluva drug.....
Rick Pennington for you maybe
1985 recording
James Hetfield should have stuck to drumming
STUCK to drumming
@@shanemartin9147 Thank you.
@@arrowintheknee9956 youre welcome. I offer a learn to write english more good class. Look up my site. www.how to spell and write more better.com
@@shanemartin9147 Amazing you are!
I feel better now. Playing heal down 95 percrnt of the time or more. I have a good feel a d get called back because I have always made it feel good. Mostly. Lol.
I was heel down from 1986 until 1995. When I went heels up, it was anywhere from 1/8th to 1/4th of an inch.
I still do a lot of heel down practice.
what pedal do you use?
Drums sound pretty average on their own.
On so many great tracks, but I guess just not a particularly great soloist.
Not jealous in the least! Until it comes to holding down a groove for 10 minutes in a studio!! Then I give up....
Maybe you're not a particularly great listener
Fulcrum is paramount which I learned in 4th grade.😊
If he doesn't live in a Mansion,and I don't think he does, get SMART and find another Profession
Oh don't worry about him- he's a millionaire several times over, and to hazard a guess he's a lot smarter than you are
@@calmac9720 You are ,not surprisingly Ignorant!
Pure noise where's the groove lol😂
He don't sound like he had good time here where's the spacing it's pure noise
You just have to learn to listen a bit better
Despite the fact that JR has played with so many famous artists and created some great iconic grooves doesn’t mean that this solo is anything other than ordinary and largely unimpressive in the scheme of things.
He sweats a lot but his solo is kind of boring...
Yep, the soloing is shit. It just goes on and on like a beginner drummer who just got a kit and started to shed around the kit. " but he's a groove master!" .... Yeah well, go watch Art Blakey.
@@chrisscott6417 It's interesting how many people seem to like boasting about their ignorance- you make a prime example
Can't solo worth a turd
u still mad he got at your mom twice in the mj days
Yeah Jeff, what a failure as a drummer this guy is huh?? I’m sure he doesn’t sleep at night knowing Jeff Jones doesn’t approve of his soloing.
Then you don't know anything about music
what a book. No musicality...his left hand is rolled over....he needs to improve his technique and dont get me started on his timing
Disgusting, ever heard of being nervous? Things happen man, you should see him now lol
Those are some ignorant observations you have there
Ironically hilarious. Timing? It’s JR. He defines timing on the drums. No musicality? Get up any decent record released throughout the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and beyond and it’s probably him. Please get educated. It’s dangerous being this stupid.
I take it you're not a musician
