Super drumming was an incredibly good series! And I love Bruford's Earthworks' first two albums. Great! Simply great drumming. Seen them live two times back then...
Love the fill at 3:43. Thanks for posting this! I need to go out and get myself some Earthworks material for sure. Bruford is at the top of my list of drummers and always will be.
Bruford always looks so relaxed. Most of the time he's smiling back there. My favorite all-time drummer. Too bad he's retired. He says he'll never play on another record or play live again. That's very rare for a musician to do unless they're physically incapable of playing. He says that he's contributed all that he can to music. I disagree. Too bad Mick Jagger and Keith Richards don't follow suit.
I think Bruford is tired of playing the same stuff all the time, even though he is one of the greatest players and innovators that ever held the sticks edit: and maybe he got tired of music altogether, it is not that rare of an occurance.
@jamesedwardtheobald I'm pretty sure he's healthy and still physically able to play. I think he retired b/c he felt like he had done enough. I disagree with that. Do you have a favorite Bruford moment? Moments? MIne would have to be the drumming on "South Side of the Sky" & "Heart of the Sunrise." Also, just about every song from King Crimson's "Discipline," "Beat," and "Three of a Perfect Pair." I could go on and on.
I love bill Bruford but not the electronic drum stuff as much. One of a Kind is an unbelievable album with Holdsworth on it. This sax player sounds so much like David Sanborn it’s a trip.
Bruford is an actual composer and a great drummer and musician... God bless BB
Great times, thank you for the memory
😘😘

Bassist Wolfgang Schmid is from Passport featuring Klaus Doldinger. This is a really nice jam with the master Bill Bruford.

He's using the Simmons sdx that came out around 1987 16 bit even by today's standards that can go up against the best
still love it!!
Another sweet fill at 2:49.

SUPPERS READY apocalypse in 9/8 with phil, and awaken on union tour with yes. and the slit drum on sheltering sky!
Up North is the title of the song
one of the only times electrical drums has soundet cool and not fake - I must say!
Thing is, he's not trying to make them sound acoustic. He's embracing the electronic sound
