The drummer uses what's called a "traditional grip". You mostly see rock drummers use a "matched grip". Some use both, depending on how much power is needed.
Journey is a great band and Steve Perry's voice is amazing. My favorite song from them is "When You Love A Woman". It's a beautiful love song and Steve's voice is absolutely beautiful on this song. You should check it out. I think you'll like it
The way Steve Smith is holding his drumsticks is the way they taught my brother in band class. Smith is a well-trained jazz drummer as well as a rock drummer. His group Vital Information, which started as a side project, has done several jazz albums worth hearing.
Steve Smith, the drummer is using a "traditional" grip vs. the "match" grip most drummers use now, he occasionally uses match grip but his foundation is traditional jazz drumming. The Traditional grip is old school and still a thing in Jazz and classical Big Band music where drum kits don't get very big.
"Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)" is a song performed by Journey, recorded for their album Frontiers and released as a single on January 5, 1983. It peaked at #8 for six consecutive weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and spent four weeks at No. 1 on the Top Tracks chart.
I get what you mean by "open voice." His voice is clear, his enunciation is good, he uses his chest voice with a wide open, relaxed mouth and great projection. 👍
Please...you are missing out!! Gotta hear Steve Perry-"Foolish Heart"!! Play it for Chris (Kris?) not sure of the spelling..sorry. :) She will LOVE it! So nice. I say it every time you play a Journey song. :) A must.
Pretty close! Here's how her name is easy to remember - her real name is Crystal so just drop the "tal" & keep the "Crys". Their daughter Serenity they call "Renni" or just "Ren". Yeah, took me a minute to learn the family lingo too. 🤣 Great question!
Cool little fact: Journey was so huge back in the day that they actually had their own arcade game released back in 1983. It was fun to play, though not as big of a hit as the actual band
This music video brings back so many memories. It’s got a little cheese, a bit over dramatic but the song is so strong that it works even today. Perry doesn’t just hit the big notes but has this plaintiff sound in his voice that is irresistible. Legendary band
A song that will withstand the test of time for sure. P.S it’s known as a “traditional grip” that the drummer is using. Very few rock drummers use that style of grip. It’s used more commonly by jazz drummers.
Now go watch the trailer for Season 4 of "Stranger Things", which dropped a couple of weeks ago and uses this song in the soundtrack in a very eerie way.
LIGHTS by journey is older but amazing to listen mainly because I'm from a coastal city and back then tv sign off they played this song. Love the channel and reaction. 👏👏👏💞💞💞👍👍👍💯💯💯
The way he's holding the drum sticks is called the traditional grip. It's commonly used by jazz drummers, but also used in more popular music by drummers like Stewart Copeland (Police) and Mitch Mitchell (Jimi Hendrix Experience).
Fun reaction to watch. Steve Smith is the drummer, some of the fastest hands out there. That is how he got his nickname, "Machine gun." Back in the day, a lot of drummers held the drumstick in their left hand like he was. I think they were taught to hold it that way. He didn't always hold it like that. It was during those times that more and more drummers started holding the drumstick the same way with both hands. I never could figure out why drummers use to hold it like that in their left hand. Maybe for some songs, it was easier to play it like that.
He’s holding the drum stick in his hands like that because that’s the way you were taught to hold them back in the day. It’s the correct way but most drummers today hold them between thumb and index. I guess it’s just what you were taught and what’s comfortable for you. Great video!
That grip the drummer uses is called traditional grip. It’s traditionally used by people in marching bands and jazz drummers, it’s pretty comfortable but not usually used for rock songs like this.
Steve Perry has bonefide PIPES man. That guy is an instrument with his vocals. And I understand exactly what you say about open, because that is what singer coaches call it too. It is letting the diaphragm control the notes perfectly and leaving the throat open, which means he is classically trained and has a really good set of lungs and vocal chords to boot. Fantastic singer! I LOVE this song! I wish Journey would have done more heavier stuff like this.
If you do a Journey song, see if its available live at the 1981 Houston concert. Also check out PETER Frampton "Do you feel like we do" LIVE from Frampton Comes Alive Concert/Album. There are a couple live versions on YT but the Frampton Comes Alive version is by far the best.
The song is about Journey firing a member of the band, Nigel Tuffnal, who was the co-lead guitarist. His 30 minute guitar solo at the bands show in Tokyo in 1983 is legendary. Nigel was eventually told to go his Seperate Ways, and he returned to his previous band.
Imagine being their manager or anyone who cared about them when they band was starting out, hearing this song, and thinking this was the music video this song deserved. haha BUT hey the song is so good it doesn't need to spend a dime to promote an image. Guys like steve perry and michael bolton have that voice that sounds like more than a voice, even on it's own it's like a voice with instruments backing it, a wall of sound out of one person, it's special
Their in my opinion greatest song (that riff, that heaviness, that chorus!) with one of the most ridiculous videos ever created! Love the 80's!! Are they any more heavy songs like this from them? Haven't listened through every single album, but there must be right?
Another great song by Journey! Love them with Steve Perry. Happy Birthday Weekend to your sweet beautiful baby girl! Have a blast & take lots of pictures!
Written by Steve Perry and Jonathan Cain. The underrated part of Steve Perry is his writing ✍ He wrote most of the lyrics when he was in Journey. Suggested next video 📹 Steve Perry sings Foolish Heart 💔
The way Steve Smith (the drummer) held his sticks is the technically correct way to hold your drum sticks. That's because he was actually a classically trained jazz drummer that by chance ended up in a rock band. The free hand style you are used to seeing in most bands is usually (not always) used by drummers who learned coming up in garage bands who never had classical training.
Next up!! ...... Chain Reaction, Escape, Edge Of The Blade, Message Of Love, Ask The Lonely, Stone In Love, Still They Ride (studio version), Dead Or Alive, Keep On Running!!
Drummers that hold the sticks in that fashion have been professionally trained that way…take a gander at Drum line again…watch how they hold their sticks
Yes foolish heart and oh sherry. And two others with the entire band, "I'll be alright without you". The other is when they briefly got back together in the 90s, "when you love a woman".
Sorry been gone but hopefully I'm back - Anyways, Journey's Don't Stop Believing was just entered into the National Archives of History; this is an honor beyond the Hall of Fame. This man's voice, performance, charisma, talent, etc has a place in eternal records of the History of the United States; Damn, give it up for Steve Perry & Journey. Happy birthday Renni🎉🧁✨😇🥰
Saw them mid-70s, Toronto, before Steve Perry, still Gregg Rolie on vocals and keys, from Santana , as was guitarist Neal Schon. Yeah, top-tier vocalist. Good eye on the drummer's grip. Training? Marching band? dunno
Re: the drummer. I learned to play the drums in elementary school (in the 80s) and I was taught to hold the drumsticks like that at first. We were told to hold the left stick like that. And it is rare to see someone doing that in a band. I stopped doing it after a while because it wasn't comfortable and I found it easier to hold the drumsticks between my thumb and index finger.
@@theidajawho I think it's a preference. I'd sometimes go back to holding my left stick the way I was taught but I usually liked grabbing onto both of them and banging the crap out of the drums like Dave Grohl. :)
Pick ANY song off the Infinity album you can't go wrong ❤️ His voice is the best rock ballad voice out there, he was known as the voice. Journey was the soundtrack to my life from 1976 forward, this band with Steve Perry is epic.
Neil Peart said he once asked Steve Smith how he got so good, and Steve told Neil that he had been training with someone. I can't remember the guy's name, but Neil went to that same guy and trained with him, and Neil says he got even better.
Guys- please react to their songs “Who’s Cryin Now”and for some funk from them called “Lovin’Touchin Squeezin.” LIVE from Houston 1981- He really shows what they can do!! Live!
Jazz way drummer! I cannot don't laugh when I watch that video now; ...(because of the NKOTB Bring back the Time song/video ...you should take a look ! 80s nostalgie !
Great song. Nice reaction. Classic 80’s rock! Have you ever react to the Japanese band name Scandal? I can give you some suggestions and links for Scandal songs. Also check out Band-maid, Lovebites and Babymetal too!
Woot. I just checked my list and this is my #17 all-time favorite song. 😂 Honestly, I thought it was in my top ten and it just shows you how stupid keeping lists is. But these are the things I do. I admit, after 50 it gets ridiculous anyway. Ranking movies is one thing, but songs are only about 5 minutes. Somehow I think that makes it infinitely harder to judge between songs you love. Anyways, it's definitely my favorite Journey song and if I counted it as a power ballad, which I don't, it would be my favorite but my favorite song I consider a power ballad you already did "Still Loving You" by Scorpions which is my #19 all-time. Life is complicated. 🤦🏽♀️

Steve Perry is just pure vocal perfection. He doesn't have a bad song. I agree that Foolish Heart should be next
yes! Foolish Heart please!
Agreed, 1 of the greatest voice's in rock music of all time in my opinion in rock music he has the best I've ever heard.
Agree. Foolish Heart is excellent!
My dad used to work with his son-in-law lol
Journey "Lights" & "Wheel In The Sky"...Nuff Said.
The drummer uses what's called a "traditional grip". You mostly see rock drummers use a "matched grip". Some use both, depending on how much power is needed.
A MUST HEAR Classic From The Lead Vocalists Solo Career,, Steve Perry "Foolish Heart"..Steve Is A Legendary & Iconic Vocalist.
S
“She’s Mine” is a great song off the same album.
Journey is a great band and Steve Perry's voice is amazing. My favorite song from them is "When You Love A Woman". It's a beautiful love song and Steve's voice is absolutely beautiful on this song. You should check it out. I think you'll like it
I remember when my parents were going through their divorce, my mum would play 'when you love a woman' on repeat

Would love for you to do Steve Perry’s Missing You. Beautiful vocals. Love your channel and Happy Birthday to the Princess…
His voice is “Strong as Shit!” My favorite Journey song. Great album--a band at their pinnacle.
Cool little fact: Journey was so huge back in the day that they actually had their own arcade game released back in 1983. It was fun to play, though not as big of a hit as the actual band
There was some radio station that went to an all-Journey playlist. I don't recall how long they went with it.
I don't say this often but I was too young to remember that LOL
This music video brings back so many memories. It’s got a little cheese, a bit over dramatic but the song is
so strong that it works even today. Perry doesn’t just hit the big notes but has this plaintiff sound in his voice that

I told ya. His high notes are so clean and clear.
A song that will withstand the test of time for sure.
P.S it’s known as a “traditional grip” that the drummer is using. Very few rock drummers use that style of grip. It’s used more commonly by jazz drummers.
Drummer playing in traditional grip my dude its what the jazz greats used n the 40s n 50s most rock drummers use match grip.
THE VOICE....STEVE PERRY🎙❤❤❤❤
My FAVORITE Journey Song👏👏👏👏👏
Steve Perry the best Malé voice ever no doubt about
His vocals are clear and deliberate in there delivery, always. His vocals are amazing.
Now go watch the trailer for Season 4 of "Stranger Things", which dropped a couple of weeks ago and uses this song in the soundtrack in a very eerie way.

Most young drummers are taught to hold their drumsticks like that. It's for finesse, not power - like you say, traditional.

I 100% agree ✌️
The song writer is the keyboard player he's the genius behind the songs

Great reaction!!! Steve Perry, top 5 rock vocals of all time.
That's why Steve Perry is called the voice. No one has a voice like him.
Another great song by Journey! Love them with Steve Perry. Happy Birthday Weekend to your sweet beautiful baby girl! Have a blast & take lots of pictures!
This is another great song!! Please check out Foolish Heart. One of the songs, from his self-titled album, after leaving Journey.

One of the best vocalists ever ❤
FYI, this video is an abridged version of this song. It's missing over a minute of the song. Give a listen to the album cut.
Reason #2,486 why Steve Perry is called The Voice!
I teach aerobics and I have this on my class playlist. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Next up!! ...... Chain Reaction, Escape, Edge Of The Blade, Message Of Love, Ask The Lonely, Stone In Love, Still They Ride (studio version), Dead Or Alive, Keep On Running!!
Good morning, and good reaction. He had such a good voice.Thanks for this one.
Drummers that hold the sticks in that fashion have been professionally trained that way…take a gander at Drum line again…watch how they hold their sticks

Yes foolish heart and oh sherry. And two others with the entire band, "I'll be alright without you". The other is when they briefly got back together in the 90s, "when you love a woman".

Cool, I heard the reason some drummers play that way is it gives them more versatility? As a drummer do you agree, or is it just preference?
@@theidajawho I think it's a preference. I'd sometimes go back to holding my left stick the way I was taught but I usually liked grabbing onto both of them and banging the crap out of the drums like Dave Grohl. :)
@@SRGots Thanx 4 the insider knowledge!
Happy birthday to baby girl. 🐝
One of my favorite groups.
That's how you're suppose to hold the stix, the other way my uncle called the English way, all trained drummer's hold them like that.
original, yes he is. and the band.
That's actually the standard way people are taught to play drums. The two fisted method was a rock development.
Pick ANY song off the Infinity album you can't go wrong ❤️ His voice is the best rock ballad voice out there, he was known as the voice. Journey was the soundtrack to my life from 1976 forward, this band with Steve Perry is epic.
You can't go wrong with Journey. Nice reaction
Amazing song great reaction can't get wrong with our Rock and Roll hall of famers.
Neil Peart said he once asked Steve Smith how he got so good, and Steve told Neil that he had been training with someone. I can't remember the guy's name, but Neil went to that same guy and trained with him, and Neil says he got even better.

Steve Perry has the best voice in rock and roll.
Great song, Steve Perry is easily one of the top two or three best voices/lead singers in all of Rock bands.....If not the absolute Best!
The best way to watch this video is to close your eyes and listen to the song.
Jazz way drummer! I cannot don't laugh when I watch that video now; ...(because of the NKOTB Bring back the Time song/video ...you should take a look ! 80s nostalgie !
Steve Perry has been nicknamed the Voice
You need to hear the whole version of this

My fav song from Journey 🧡 (but not the video. 😏) Thx for your reaction. 👍
no auto tune needed such a legend 🙌🏼
I'd love to hear her thoughts on anything. Like, just ssshhhh and let her speak!
The drummer is using traditional grip.
Angra - Time
Easily the best Journey song
Steve Perry is the main man wit his singing voice

I still think this is Journeys best song
Steve Smith is one of the greatest fusion drummers of all time!
She’s got that kinda look like this song brings her back to somewhere in time. Maybe she still thinking about him
After stranger things official Trailer drop i come to love this more
Another great song ✌❤
Listen to a little known song by Journey called ‘Little Girl’. It will blow your mind. I would love to a review on this. :)
Hey guys, you are doing extra fine just now!!! Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush, and now probably the best band ever!! 🙂Keep it up!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
When my brother took drum in school that's how he was told to hold the sticks
This song screams 80s movie montage
Fun fact someone was fired over having Steves haircut in 83 as there was an outcry from mainly women over WHY?
