Kneebody Plays “Drum Battle” (Originals Teaser)

Kneebody performances and lessons available on DrumChannel.com -- Kneebody is an American band formed in 2001, consisting of Adam Benjamin on keyboards, Shane Endsley on trumpet, Ben Wendel on tenor sax, Kaveh Rastegar on bass, and Nate Wood on drums.
---
In their almost two-decade history, the Grammy-nominated band Kneebody has created a genre and style all its own. Their sound is explosive rock energy and high-level nuanced chamber ensemble playing set within the frames of highly wrought compositions that are balanced with adventurous no-holds-barred improvising.
Kneebody is keyboardist Adam Benjamin, trumpeter Shane Endsley, saxophonist Ben Wendel and drummer/bassist Nate Wood. The band has no leader or rather, each member is the leader; they’ve developed their own musical language, inventing a unique cueing system that allows them each to change the tempo, key, style, and more in an instant.
The group met in their late teens while at The Eastman School of Music and Cal Arts, became fast friends, and converged together as Kneebody amid the vibrant and eclectic music scene of Los Angeles in 2001. Since then, each band member has amassed an impressive list of credits and accomplishments over the years all while the band has continued to thrive and grow in reputation, solidifying a fan base around the world.

Nate Wood is a fucking master. There is no other way to say this.

[@StachelyPigglyBottom]

That feel when you're wanting to listen to Kneebody, look them up on YT and just happen to see one of your favorite tracks played in a recent performance. So good!

[@robotrock909]

I saw them a few years ago at a jazz club in Santa Cruz. I was sober but after 30 minutes of these drums live i felt like i was on acid.

[@patrickl9930]

I dropped acid when I saw Nate Wood play with Tigran Hamasyan a couple years back. Best choice I ever made

[@wtwrush]

There is literally a psychedelic-esque high you get watching these guys after just one or two beers. Entrancing

[@MrMartell2012]

OMG....Kneebody is killing on this performance. Nate wood playing is phenomenal as always.

[@SaS-Music]

Love it. Cannot wait to play with my band once restrictions ease.

[@leo56rodier9]

[@tsiggy]

Who is the bassist? His name ain't mentioned in the description.

[@udderhippo]

Kaveh Rastegar

[@duanjisomar]

This is another cool fusion of jazz and modern rock. Nate wood's drum skills is always godly. Too many intricate notes and breaks, its definitely hard to perform

[@MikeBaas]

Hunter

[@luiscordova5264]

No sabía que Putin toca la batería

[@jjakji2078]

Them white boys can play

[@lava_za]

Putin has tempo

[@dewimatthews]

If only he’d stuck with drums and not moved to tanks.
