Clean grooves, nobody overplaying, clearly a well rehearsed band. This is how one plays behind an act like Shakira. Thanks for the unique perspective of your awesome career Brendan! Not a pop music fan, but I've always had an appreciation for the Latin influence Shakira's music brings to mainstream music. Drums are about the most important factor in that. Brendan nails the transitions between common pop beats and those syncopated clave grooves like a boss. Fabulous to watch, you can learn a lot by closely paying attention to how a pro drummer performs.
This is a professional drummer. Not the overplaying amateurs you see at club shows. This dude has insane skill and timing and he knows how to make the artist shine.
@@Jump-2-the-moon ....? The "basic" playing is exactly burt's point. Brendan Buckley is insanely good and he knows that he plays drums to do what's best for the music at that moment. Shakira is who they came to see at this concert. It would be unprofessional to take away from letting her shine.
burt turdison totally agree, he said in an interview for gear goggles that his job is to make everyone else as comfortable as humanly possible and he kicks ass at it.
This is a true professional right here, playing perfectly to the song, never overplaying or showing off whilst still utilising the whole drum kit and maintaining a great groove. Props to you sir!
Wow, I'm blown away. after watching his gear walk thru then watching it in action, this is pure eye candy! Brendan has vastly just become one of my favorite drummers. so professional!
Damn! Ok, this dude has had the Shakira gig for 20 years! Yes, 20. Wow. Brendan, your striking consistency is top notch man. Love it. AND that splash/crash on the ride is just genius! Keep inspiring us!
Brendan, watching this puts a smile on my face. You're such a mature, professional musician. No wonder you are traveling around the world with that studio-like quality musicianship.
I love drums, I never took a course and I don't even know how to play but if there is one thing I learned by seeing it is that the person does not need to be showing his gifts of agility, do like this guy, the simplest thing was the biggest thing Congratulations
Despite not being a fan of pop music, I find THIS is how you do it right. With a band. Not programmed. Sure, this stuff may be simple in terms of beats, but damn, the timing and skill is ALL there! Much respect.
As a Drummer for 20 Years....I love this Video...Because, Simplicity Is Key, The Average Joe Never Cared about you being able to do Fancy Guitar Sweeps or Speedy Blast Beats Anyway. And the Crowd Loves it! So yeah! The Proof Is In The Pudding!
Dude, thanks so much for pointing that out. At first I couldn't figure out what it was and thought it might be a percussion player or something. I need to try that! Thank you :)
Amazed how simple the drumming was, not flashy. Yet the drumming is so in charge of the song and tempo and feel of the music. Every movement matters and needs to be so in tune with the performer and the music. Very impressive. These views of individual band members give so much more appreciation for the talents of all the band members.
Brendan, HUGE props to you for all the thought, preparation and time that's gone into being the backbone of this kind of tour. Just watched the DRUM mag overview of your setup, and all the backups and redundancies you've put in place are really impressive. THIS is what a drummer SHOULD be...someone who is there to drive and help lead the band through any situation. Very impressed.
The spiritual bromance between a drummer and singer is so pure. I will float on the beat so you can fly on the melody. same can be said about about guitarists and drummers for heavier music
I love the cleanliness,control and Professionalism here When im the one who played there i might double pedaled this and turn waka waka into a metal song.
I see a load of people commenting about haters but no actual hate comments lol? Maybe all the nasty stuff got deleted, but mostly I just see a lot of love for a great perspective of a class drummer backing a huge concert artist. Great watch and listen.
Solid. I like the way he switches his grip and he seems totally relaxed, which is the way to go. The little splash on top of his ride is cool, but he has at least three stacks. I would leave the bell open, but hey … it's whatever the client wants! I notice also that he has two laptops - one must be a back-up. Very professional.
Great performance of a trully professional and gifted drummer. Perfect compasso and tempo, good balance and sound splash, correct posture. The performance is the right one for this song. No wonder u play with Shakira for so long.
Reminds me of watching Bill Gibson with Huey Lewis and The News. Stay in the pocket, don't overdo it, kick off whatever part needs a launch (Bill always said his fave part was kicking off the Tower of Power horn section), and know that I'll get my time to do my thing. And once I've done it, I'm right back in that pocket. Smooth.
This is my dream, man! It's perfect! The big hall with really good equipment... oh ..I'm in astonishment... Keep it man! Shakira is really good singer! And you are really good drummer!
I don't see why some here are negative? This is Shakira, the main focus is HER. In rock there will obviously be more attention to/room for the drummer to show of but here it's mostly a background instrument that makes the audience dance. Brendan is awesome! Good grooves, nice well placed fills, good timing and overall very musical playing of him.
I didn't even know who Brendan was until I saw his Drum Magazine Video. Don't be fooled, this is harder than it looks. Ive been playing drums for 25 years self taught, and playing for the song and staying on time is not easy :)
@Arthur Donjuan Song is not complex....at all. Trust me, this does not weigh on me in the least. Also, you're name is not "News20" and, I reiterate, if you have trouble staying in time after 25 years of playing....well....
On stage even the simple beats are hardest to play...this guy is the one who can rule the whole stage if he plays solo drum bt here he is playing how much it's required 🙏🙏🙏
Now there are a lot of drumming lessons on TH-cam. Many people make drum covers. But this video allows you to look at the show from a different angle. This is exactly what I want to see. How often it happened that when you watching performance, you can not choose which musician to watch. I want to see the drummer, I want to see HOW he played it. But at this point they show me the guitarist)) Thank you, Brendan! Keep making such videos. Greetings from Russia ;)
Great job Brendan. This is exactly how you approach playing for an international star. Stay in your lane, serve the songs and collect flawless shows night after night. Anyone saying you need to play more notes clearly doesn’t get it.
Espectacular la vista que nos regala éste baterista! ..debe ser un genio para estar en ese puesto, ya vieron la "Mapex Saturno" nueva de Shakira? está ensayando batería para un nuevo video.
So professional like any great drummer ..he knows exactly what to do like any drummer in great shows. He is not playing with his band to do crazy things and his not the star in this ...we are talking for a show so he does what he needs to do...nothing more nothing less and everyone is happy...maybe boring for him... maybe...but he is doing his job...another day in the office!
As someone who struggles with anxiety it's kinda nice to know that most times or at least a lot of the times people are gonna want you to play something simple and fun. We all get worried about having the coolest chops but no one even wants us to play that lol. Also cool to see that you really don't have to hit super hard and tire yourself out or injure yourself. Mics do a lot!

Shuggadugga thanks!!!
Shuggadugga your comment is perfect 👌🏼 i’m a drummer too and i really appreciate Mr. Brendan B. 🥁🎶...and the words you said
Shuggadugga “pro drummer” lol nice
This is a professional drummer. Not the overplaying amateurs you see at club shows. This dude has insane skill and timing and he knows how to make the artist shine.
Like that one guitarist in Maroon 5 said in an interview is to serve the song.
To be fair they have clicks in concerts
@@Jump-2-the-moon ....?

So you are saying Eric Moore isn't a professional? 😂
burt turdison totally agree, he said in an interview for gear goggles that his job is to make everyone else as comfortable as humanly possible and he kicks ass at it.
Thanks for not overplaying that drum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Clean and simple, served the song!
This is how a session drummer makes their living, playing the groove...nothing fancy just solid
Sign of professionalism, peace minded drummer & what brilliant grover ❤
Definitely man straight up professional not overdoing anything perfect timing just amazing man
This is a true professional right here, playing perfectly to the song, never overplaying or showing off whilst still utilising the whole drum kit and maintaining a great groove. Props to you sir!
A great Professional drummer. So relaxed in front of THOUSANDS of people, and serving THE SONG and allowing the performer to shine!
each snare sounds exactly the same. this is how you can recognize pro in simple drumming.
satisfying to watch, cheers
Wiktor Pogoda thanks Wiktor!
facts!
Wow, I'm blown away. after watching his gear walk thru then watching it in action, this is pure eye candy! Brendan has vastly just become one of my favorite drummers. so professional!
Zachary Christopherr thanks! 🙏
Best drummer ever seen in the world
Damn! Ok, this dude has had the Shakira gig for 20 years! Yes, 20. Wow. Brendan, your striking consistency is top notch man. Love it. AND that splash/crash on the ride is just genius! Keep inspiring us!
Album quality performance.
The haters will never be this clean.
This guy (Brendan) is really a legendary drummer 💙...
Lots of love from INDIA 🇮🇳🤍...
Professional drummer! This is what is needed and nothing more. Bravoooo
Brandon is the Motor behind that well oiled machine, continued success, a great show every time, Thank You
Timing is spot on , not a count out of place , a drummer that knows how to make the artist shine ,simple, easy, tight with, a splash..... top job
The artist behind the artist. Respect!
Brendan, watching this puts a smile on my face. You're such a mature, professional musician. No wonder you are traveling around the world with that studio-like quality musicianship.
Love his relaxed and controlled playing. Nice work indeed. After playing each song so much, it seems like you can relax anyway and enjoy the show!
Was juuuust watching waka waka live version and thought to myself what an amazing drumming and then I came on to this.... props!!!!
Major nostalgia from summer camp listen to shakira with all the Spanish campers... thanks for reminding me of my younger years!!!
Honestly this video is amazing. I love how intentionally each section is played. I come back to it regularly for inspiration
I love drums, I never took a course and I don't even know how to play
but if there is one thing I learned by seeing it is that the person does not need to be showing his gifts of agility, do like this guy, the simplest thing was the biggest thing
Congratulations
Love the relaxed playing. Pitch perfect :D
An outstanding job! Still one of my favorite drummers that has ever existed in Pop culture!
I've been watching this countless... The snare sound is so sweet....
Despite not being a fan of pop music, I find THIS is how you do it right. With a band. Not programmed. Sure, this stuff may be simple in terms of beats, but damn, the timing and skill is ALL there! Much respect.

Bwoah!! That outro was so clean it literally rocked my socks off
He is doing exactly what he is being PAID to do. He has been Shakira's touring drummer for years. Obviously, she thinks he is doing something right!
Decades isn't it? Keep the customer satisfied. "Time of your life eh kid?"
Absolute Pro! I love all the subtle beat variations in each section, just enough to give each part its own character without being overly busy.
The splash on the ride around 3:00 sounds soooo gooood
Ikr
Dude, thanks so much for pointing that out. At first I couldn't figure out what it was and thought it might be a percussion player or something. I need to try that! Thank you :)
Dude is a master at his craft. Salute from Brazil. Pocket master!
Awesome bro. This guy is respectfully amazing.
Amazed how simple the drumming was, not flashy. Yet the drumming is so in charge of the song and tempo and feel of the music. Every movement matters and needs to be so in tune with the performer and the music. Very impressive. These views of individual band members give so much more appreciation for the talents of all the band members.
Never in my life saw a great dynamic drummer like you....
I cant imagine the feeling playing for a crowd that big! Must be so surreal.
Clean perfect grove osm
Your are a ultra LEGEND bro
every one will just melt in ur beat
Everyday i watch this one
Brendan, HUGE props to you for all the thought, preparation and time that's gone into being the backbone of this kind of tour. Just watched the DRUM mag overview of your setup, and all the backups and redundancies you've put in place are really impressive. THIS is what a drummer SHOULD be...someone who is there to drive and help lead the band through any situation. Very impressed.
PERFECT DRUMMING in the context of what the song needs. Love it
Absolutely nailed to the beat. Tight!
Wow I would kill to have a gig like that...great job Brendan proud of you...keep up the good work and professionalism.
The spiritual bromance between a drummer and singer is so pure. I will float on the beat so you can fly on the melody. same can be said about about guitarists and drummers for heavier music
I love the perspective. I have played for a few decent audiences, but never a stadium. Thanks for putting us in the driver's seat!
I love the cleanliness,control and Professionalism here When im the one who played there i might double pedaled this and turn waka waka into a metal song.
Bro the change at 2:18 is just amazing.. I literally watch this instead of listening to the song.. love it .
I see a load of people commenting about haters but no actual hate comments lol? Maybe all the nasty stuff got deleted, but mostly I just see a lot of love for a great perspective of a class drummer backing a huge concert artist. Great watch and listen.
I saw people saying it was fake which is not true I’m related to him he’s my dads cousin so I know he plays for real
I love you man and you are absolutely out of this world. I'm your fan. Greatest thing I have ever watched on a live concert
This is the ultimate live drum performance i ve ever seen. God bless u buddy. 😍
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Solid. I like the way he switches his grip and he seems totally relaxed, which is the way to go. The little splash on top of his ride is cool, but he has at least three stacks. I would leave the bell open, but hey … it's whatever the client wants! I notice also that he has two laptops - one must be a back-up. Very professional.
HII I LOVE HOW YOU PLAY THE DRUMS!!! YOU ARE VERY LUCKY TO WORK FOR SHAKIRA!!! HUGS FROM MEXICO.
Still in Love with that View. Best Drummer.
Wow, this first time l watch a concert from the band's perspective! Love it!
Great performance of a trully professional and gifted drummer. Perfect compasso and tempo, good balance and sound splash, correct posture. The performance is the right one for this song. No wonder u play with Shakira for so long.
Enjoying every second... serving the music! so musical! and clean!
*I always find some thing enjoyable in your playing style Brendan Sir!!*
Reminds me of watching Bill Gibson with Huey Lewis and The News. Stay in the pocket, don't overdo it, kick off whatever part needs a launch (Bill always said his fave part was kicking off the Tower of Power horn section), and know that I'll get my time to do my thing. And once I've done it, I'm right back in that pocket. Smooth.
As a lover of metal music and drums, I love this just as much! those drums (and everything really) sounds so good!
This is insanely awesome. Such a dexterity and versatility in one groove. I decide to subscribe to this guy for more BTW I'm a drummer.
Playing anything in front of a crowd like that has to be amazing
Simple ans straighfoward...no overplaying..salute to ya! 2020!
Thank you for this video. Mind blowing performance from all of you.
Lo hace como si fuera facil este muchacho ...pero es un profesional increible ...es muy difil lo q hace ...mi admiracion a brendan ¡¡¡
This is my dream, man! It's perfect! The big hall with really good equipment... oh ..I'm in astonishment... Keep it man! Shakira is really good singer! And you are really good drummer!
Drummer is a rock. Shakira is the the show. A pro gets it.
Came into this video cause youtube suggested it and im so glad, never heard of you before brendan, but you are one hell of a pro drummer.
I don't see why some here are negative? This is Shakira, the main focus is HER. In rock there will obviously be more attention to/room for the drummer to show of but here it's mostly a background instrument that makes the audience dance. Brendan is awesome!

tremendo baterista que es brendan!! de mis favoritos!!
Watched Again. Love to See you Play. So Easy. So on Point.
Changing snare is my Fave Part
I didn't even know who Brendan was until I saw his Drum Magazine Video. Don't be fooled, this is harder than it looks. Ive been playing drums for 25 years self taught, and playing for the song and staying on time is not easy :)
Playing for 25 years and you still think staying in time is not easy.... Perhaps you should play something different.
@Arthur Donjuan Song is not complex....at all. Trust me, this does not weigh on me in the least. Also, you're name is not "News20" and, I reiterate, if you have trouble staying in time after 25 years of playing....well....

Brendan we need more videos
On stage even the simple beats are hardest to play...this guy is the one who can rule the whole stage if he plays solo drum bt here he is playing how much it's required 🙏🙏🙏
That view... It's beautiful.. that lucky guy is talented and very very very lucky too... hooray👏👏👏
My salute to the drummer!!! So nice to hear!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That's an impressive drum kit & cymbal set up. I like the splash stacked on top of the ride. Great idea! I need to try that on.my kit. Cheers!
To think that Shakira (and every arena!!) is grooving to the beats you're laying own every night.
Realy so nice Brendan Buckly.
Awesome view! Thnx for video. Never imagined how it is being on the stage large like that, breathtaking experience. You're awesome!
Now there are a lot of drumming lessons on TH-cam. Many people make drum covers. But this video allows you to look at the show from a different angle. This is exactly what I want to see.

Согласен полностью!
Tu trabajo le da el toque especial a esta canción y en vivo el resultado es excelente!!
Absolutely fabolous. This is how to Play those kinda Songs live!
Your drum beat & music sound they dance together beautiful!! 😍🎶🎵... 🙌👏👏 Awesome!!
Give this man respect i love his drum cover
Just became my favorite drummer
super relax and super accurate
Great job Brendan. This is exactly how you approach playing for an international star. Stay in your lane, serve the songs and collect flawless shows night after night. Anyone saying you need to play more notes clearly doesn’t get it.
I present to you...Brendan Buckley...the human metronome!
This is so pro, every body doing their part makes everything so professional
Amazing, goes perfectly with the song.
We need more drum cams and humble drummers in this world
Every hit sounds the same. So satisfying to watch.
Espectacular la vista que nos regala éste baterista! ..debe ser un genio para estar en ese puesto, ya vieron la "Mapex Saturno" nueva de Shakira? está ensayando batería para un nuevo video.
Beautifully played
He is 46 and working with shakira for mote than 20years....
Respect
So professional like any great drummer ..he knows exactly what to do like any drummer in great shows. He is not playing with his band to do crazy things and his not the star in this ...we are talking for a show so he does what he needs to do...nothing more nothing less and everyone is happy...maybe boring for him... maybe...but he is doing his job...another day in the office!

Soo true. That's exactly how drums should played and ultimately that's what moves people when they listen to song
Loved it..❤❤
Respect!!That is cool!Normaly i am into Rock,but that is Inspiration!!
