Unbelievable. He's 73 years old!! Without a doubt one of the 5 greatest drummers of all time, imho, along with Neil Peart, Buddy Rich, Mitch Mitchell, and Keith Moon .... the great Carl Palmer!!
ELP is truly one of the LEGEND GROUPS. Growing up listening to them. My hats off to Carl, he still one of the best drummers. RIP Greg Lake and Keith Emerson. You’re gone but not forgotten. Your music is everlasting.
He's always brought so much to the table, not just skills on drums. So much of his greatness is his attitude about drumming. One of my forever inspirations.
The most amazing Drummer of all time 😁 My first concert was welcome back my friends in'74 saw multiple times with ELP and ASIA saw him in 2015 and met him in person and again in 2019 The nicest most humble Artist ever took time to talk with me and so many others I have the utmost respect for him as an Artist and a person!🥁🎵🎶🎼💯
i was actually LISTENING to “food for your soul” the other day and thinking what a treasure Carl’s skill set is... then remembered the docu made of him ages ago post ELP, how he teaches percussion to kids. What warm generosity from a superstar Guess the loss of The Prof has me thinking of drummers ... kinda bummed ppl leave out Baker, Krupa in that lineage with Rich... they were something too.
This guy simply doesn't age. A lifetime dedicated to his craft and it shows. And he is a gentleman too..met him at a Carl Palmer ELP Legacy concert in Buffalo, N.Y. in 2019. Went out of his way to meet and greet fans and have conversations and photo ops with the fans.
He is ALWAYS at his peak when he plays. I don't know what kind of genetics he has but whatever they are, infused with the musicality of a Krupa and chops of a Rich, the technical and innovative intricacies of of an (Elvin) Jones and the all out ability to brawl like a Bonham, Carl Palmer is one of the best drummers to have every lived. In my head (read that: my own personal opinion) he was Peart's only (friendly) rival in the world of drumming. A beast of a drummer!
I've seen Peart, Paice, Powell, Portnoy, and still think Barrie Barlow was the best I ever saw. My friend said no, he'd seen Palmer, and he was better than them all. Dammit, it sure seems like he was correct.
Did you know Peart's 1st Rotating Drum Riser was bought from Carl after the 73-74 Brain Salad Surgery World Tour? Peart's 2 greatest influences? Buddy and Carl. 'nuf said
One of the greats. 73 years old & still playing his ass of. To all the people out there that say he's not that good. Send me a video when you're 73 of your solo.
Saw him dec 73.aug 74..77 4x..92 thru 2000..his stainless steel era kit 73 till march 78.was a classic best solo around back then..saw bonzo 73 75 kit .that was monster also
Very skilled and you can see all the years of practice. Whats obvious in the present is that you can almost see how he builds a solo upon his own strength. He probably has a routine, but he stretches out and goes beyond his capabilities . He's daring in that way. He busts his ass practicing for long periods of time prior to ever going out on the road. At age 73!
Let's be honest when discussing the pantheon of great drummers his name just doesn't always come up but it should! And he should write a book on longevity and I'm not kidding. Holy shit!!
I don't care who you are...a 11 minute drum solo is to much. However, watching Carl do this at his age without falling over is...well...extra special I guess. ;-)
"Get On With it Then!..." Remember that? "The Sheriff". At the beginning...of the song! Not "From the Beginning"! 🤣 On Trilogy Album. Check it Out, with headphones (ear buds).
Carl gets my respects many times over not considering Buddy Rich 2 of the greatest, Wow Trilogy was his best drumming ever in my humble opinion, Tarkus muy bueno tambien!
HOLY CRAP! Carl Palmer was one of the best drummers of all time, in his 20's.... Now that he's in his 70's.... he still IS!
I cannot agree more. Ageless wonder and he just has heart surgery a few months ago
Actually, the best drummer of all time goes to Carl for lessons!
Unbelievable. He's 73 years old!! Without a doubt one of the 5 greatest drummers of all time, imho, along with Neil Peart, Buddy Rich, Mitch Mitchell, and Keith Moon .... the great Carl Palmer!!
+ John Bonham and Simon Philips
Agreed, but don’t forget Gene Krupa and Joe Moreno
@@flaviuteodorescu4916Nope! They are not in his league.
Keith Moon🤦♂
All these names mentioned are legends.Since Carl is of my generation,I stick closely to him.
ELP is truly one of the LEGEND GROUPS. Growing up listening to them. My hats off to Carl, he still one of the best drummers. RIP Greg Lake and Keith Emerson. You’re gone but not forgotten. Your music is everlasting.
He is special and puts everything into his performances. ELP needed him, and they wouldn't have been without him. A real living diamond.
Absolutely a solid 1/3rd. Like Oreo cookies and milk.
I agree 100% and did you know they almost got Mitch Mitchel instead???
@@TerryDrumCovers1951 Did not know !
He's always brought so much to the table, not just skills on drums. So much of his greatness is his attitude about drumming. One of my forever inspirations.
I made a last minute decision to attend this show and was glad I did!
Thank you Carl for this ELP Experience.
Carl still killing it at 73. Him and Buddy were my main influences. Saw ELP in '73 and '77 in Madison Square Garden.
Yes!That was when Carl had the big gargantuan steel drum kit.Carl tamed that wild beast.
about 1/2 BR
Carl has been my favorite drummer since 1980. This cat is so horribly underrated.
Carl Palmer is one of the best drummers ever.. I had seen him at the Fillmore East with ELP.. He was fantastic then and still is!!!!!!!
He makes me feel old watching him. The longevity of this man is stunning.
Hats off to you Mr.Palmer 🙏👏👏👏 You are truly amazing on the kit. 👍🙏
Master among masters, Carl Palmer.
The most amazing Drummer of all time 😁 My first concert was welcome back my friends in'74 saw multiple times with ELP and ASIA saw him in 2015 and met him in person and again in 2019 The nicest most humble Artist ever took time to talk with me and so many others I have the utmost respect for him as an Artist and a person!🥁🎵🎶🎼💯
One of the greats and still killing it at 73. Even the Master,Buddy Rich,had good things to say about Carl!!
carl was one of his pallbearers at buddys funeral
i was actually LISTENING to “food for your soul” the other day and thinking what a treasure Carl’s skill set is... then remembered the docu made of him ages ago post ELP, how he teaches percussion to kids. What warm generosity from a superstar
Guess the loss of The Prof has me thinking of drummers ...
kinda bummed ppl leave out Baker, Krupa in that lineage with Rich... they were something too.
The word is "people" hope I helped. Carl blows Peart away he's only one step below Buddy 🥁
Brilliant
What a world treasure. Absolutely the best!
Amazing at 70... pull up some videos of elp from the 70s .always one of the greats.
thank you for sharing this!

His father AND Grandfather were professional drummers. It is in his blood.
I've seen Peart, Paice, Powell, Portnoy, and still think Barrie Barlow was the best I ever saw. My friend said no, he'd seen Palmer, and he was better than them all. Dammit, it sure seems like he was correct.
Correct!
See Thomas Lang !!!! The best....
Still Rockin' the Set, Carl! RIP Keith and Greg. ☹
ELP Music will last for an eternity.
🥰🤩❤
Saw ELP in the 70s with the band 10 Years After. ELP was amazing !!!
I grelha suprise the energy, Great, thanks.
The man is a true legendary drummer :)
The greatest prog drummer ever...He even had the respect of Buddy...Started me drumming in 1973, Tank changed my life...
I was there last night and just blown away ,I put him as my #2 that I have seen very close behind the professor.

No way Carl is the GOAT next to Buddy, Peart is not
Один из лучших и любимых барабанщиков!
One of the greatest of all time, without a doubt.
Alus pisan atuh iyeu mah ( Soreang Bandung hadir )

Outstanding
He's still got it!!!
One of the greats. 73 years old & still playing his ass of. To all the people out there that say he's not that good. Send me a video when you're 73 of your solo.

Beloved icon long live Carl❤
Even when playing to a small crowd, Carl gives 100%.
Thats why he's a legend.
He hasn't lost it.Go Carl!

73 and still a OG fghhKING MONSTER!!!
Carl was the best when the rest weren't even born. 😊
Legend !
Love Him Love Him Love Him!
I'm looking for it, but unfortunately there isn't a normal quality recording of such a big icon during a drum solo
Increíble para la edad que tiene ahora!... Pure Energy...!!!
Was that a two stroke or a four stroke engine ?
You can’t tell me that he’s not the greatest rock drummer of all time!
the best english drummer carl palmer
he's the last of the three.
Qué placer!!!
Wish his kit still revolved.
ELP were each fantastic composers and musicians. Carl brought so much to their music. He blows my mind. I'd take him over Buddy Rich.
Thanks!
Todavía está activo q maravillaaaaaa
Never mind the polls, folks. They are gaslighting you. Carl Palmer is the GOAT of rock drummers!
Hear hear
Great Buddy Rich shool. Is he playing in a clinic,right?
Good thing he had gotten off the drugs and booze early in life. Look how badass he still is. Respect
Awesome, he's in good shape to be able to still play like that ! ELP was my 2nd rock concert back in '77 i think, at the olympic stadium in Montreal
Damn. Carl Palmer is just as bombastic at 73 as he was at 23
Come to Detroit Carl Palmer.
Let's be honest when discussing the pantheon of great drummers his name just doesn't always come up but it should! And he should write a book on longevity and I'm not kidding. Holy shit!!
Legend.
Nice kit.
He's in the top 5 and stillgoing.Actually he's probably as good as ever because he plays all the time
King Carl.
He will maintain his greatest.
I don't care who you are...a 11 minute drum solo is to much. However, watching Carl do this at his age without falling over is...well...extra special I guess. ;-)
quebra tuuuudo!!!
El era creo el primer batería q tuvo el trío pq después vino cosi power
Wow
Good for him
i see Carl still holds his sticks the conventional way good for him thats awesome
"Get On With it Then!..." Remember that? "The Sheriff". At the beginning...of the song! Not "From the Beginning"! 🤣 On Trilogy Album. Check it Out, with headphones (ear buds).
He likes his Ludwig! (Lewd-Vig). Yes, you can call it Lud-Wig. 🥁🎵🎶🤣😂🙂
The only drummer to steal Buddy Rich from his throne!
He obviously keeps himself in great shape.Good reminder for me to get off my couch potato arse & hit the gym.
Very true. You rarely see a fat drummer.
He's so fast TH-cam can't keep up with him!😂
Carl gets my respects many times over not considering Buddy Rich 2 of the greatest, Wow Trilogy was his best drumming ever in my humble opinion, Tarkus muy bueno tambien!
😌✌️
Masterdrummer..
Someone sold his soul , Carl !
Is this one pure speed metal really ?
One of my favorite drummers. But something doesn't sound right with this drum set. Or maybe it's the audio.
Long live ludwig
Buddy Rich was a huge influence on Carl.
Lets not forget Phill Ehart!!! and I believe you may have meant Joe Morello!
Yes, let's remember Phil Ehart. Just turned 73 and recovering from massive heart attack. (2/24/24)
Jeez Carl. You're slipping. I can play that. And I did.
