I saw Mr. Brown with Return to Forever during fusion's hey day and he was truly a force of nature! When he says here he's done the work he ain't lyin'! Phenomenal player.
you saw him that period..?, of the double live album and music magic..., for me this 2 albums have some of the best drumming era..., he played the north drum kit when you saw him with rtf?, totally amazing!
Too fun! What a resume Mr. Brown has. I had to go back and stop the video so that I could read all of the people he's played with. Incredible. If BDC is signing him to their roster, that's a pretty big win for them. And yes, BDC is making some absolutely slamming birch drums. Great job by Shane and the crew demonstrating the DCP difference in customer service!
Wow. Gerry Brown is So Great . the " Drum Hall of Fame". Absolutely True. DCP. 🎉🥁👍 Congratulations to Gerry on Joining the British Drum Company Family. Thank You So Much Shane and Gang For Setting the Standard for Excellence, Hospitality, and Making Drummers Dreams Come True. Outstanding. 🎉🥁👍
I always get the coolest like, cigar shop vibes from DCP. Like where they do one thing and they do it very well. The people working know exactly what they have to offer and how to find something that fits everyone’s tastes and budget.
Aside from the legend Gerry Brown, British Drum Company has turned into one of my favorite sounding brands. Unique enough to stand out with a traditional yet modern sound.
I remember seeing this guy in a vid from the 80’s I think. It was filmed in a giant church. He was incredible, spinning his sticks around. I think that was the first time I saw that. As for the British Drums, I checked some out at this store in Portland, Or and they sounded great! Awesome vid guys!
I've admired Gerry Brown in this video too at the time. I'm still having the VHS tape i've recorded from TV in the 80's. It was the series "Super Druming" with Pete York, which has introduced druming in general and all kind of top drummers, like Gerry Brown, Simon Phillips, Louie Bellson, Ian Pace, Gozy Powell etc. One highlight, for instance was... Louie Bellson and Simon Phillips, two different generations, are having tons of fun in a duell....just awesome. Must watch!
I’m hoping to have time to drop by DCP when I play Jimmy’s Jazz & Blues with Coco Montoya on August 11th. Would great to finally meet Shane and check out the incredible selection there.
I met Jerry at a workshop in PGH back when he was playing with Lionel Ritchie in the 80s.Hey gave me a Sabian splash that I still have.He has an amazing resume' and was super friendly.
Quick editorial note. I really enjoy this format of breaking up some of the product demonstration with commentary. It really helps create more of a story instead of just product demonstration. This may not be new, but I’ve really noticed lately. Great job editors!
Loved the video, loved the snares and Gerry was amazing. The one thing that stuck out to me was the Paiste PSTX!! loved it. I can't afford the snares but I can afford that cymbal. Great video thank you so much!!
@@robmiller817@alkingborn4620 not entirely true. Premier are a legendary brand for all they managed to achieve in their history, from 1922 to today. You're referencing Keith Keough, and rightly so, he had a big effect on Premier while he was there. Only he did less than a decade with the brand before starting BDC so I don't think you can really say that the 'people who made premier...premier' have left per se. They have come through major trials and tribulations and don't even make in the UK currently, but they still exist and will return stronger than ever. Give them time, legends never die.
Wow!!! Gen X here,When I saw Gerry I was floored,A huge fan since the 80’s. Thanks 😊
I’ve rarely heard British Drum Co, this video really opened my eyes to what i was missing out. Thank you DCP

U lucky dogs!! I couldn't stop smiling watching this vid.
Nearly forgot, snares were beautiful too.🤣🍻✌️
I could listen to HIS drumming all day!!!! I hope he reads some of these comments and sees how impressed I am. (:
A living drum legend visiting the drum hall of fame. And my God the sound of that Bluebird snare!
I could be wrong, but it looks like a reworked version of the Rogers Powertone

NNICKOROS and BLUEBIRD are my favorites!!!! :) Nice to see Gerry Brown!!!! :)
“Groove Responsibly” is a saying I came up with and my brother Gerry Brown exudes!🥁🔥🥁🔥
As far as I know I think I did lol🫣

Yes! All must come to the altar of Bella! I love the place!
If only I could groove responsibly….. good to see y’all again and Happy Anniversary!
Awesome video with a true legend! Well done, Shane and company!
Gerry is the man!
Man, BDC is making some fantastic sounding drums. Gerry Brown has been a monster for many decades.
Couldn't agree more!
Great video - and great drums!! Loved hearing his thoughts about each drum. So cool!

Wow great video PDC. Love you guys. Killer chops by a Legend
magnificent sound.
The more I hear BD drums the more I like them! Thanks it would have been a great day!
What a player!!
Gerry did a drum clinic with Terry Bozzio in Tampa (Thoroughbred Music) parking lot, awesome drummer.
I’m hoping to have time to drop by DCP when I play Jimmy’s Jazz & Blues with Coco Montoya on August 11th. Would great to finally meet Shane and check out the incredible selection there.
Sound great Gerry as always
Beautiful snares wow
I have the merlin 14x5.5 and it has been the best wood snare i've ever played.
Love Gerry!!! Magnificent musician.
He definitely is a legend!

Thanks! I'll pass this along to our editing team!
Nice job, Adam

These snare are all 🔥 but i cant stop lookin at pics of the Talisman! Lol I imagine it sounds as good as it looks 😍
So good!
Oh Shane, Gerry isnt wrong! Maybe one day I can get there and pay homage!
Please do Bern!
Loved the video, loved the snares and Gerry was amazing. The one thing that stuck out to me was the Paiste PSTX!! loved it. I can't afford the snares but I can afford that cymbal. Great video thank you so much!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Never had the chance to hear nor to play a BD Co. kit. Well I've been shocked how it sounds great! Definitely my next purchase. At DCP of course
Its the old Premier folks. I believe
@@robmiller817 not sure man, Premier is still in the business
@@alkingborn not w the same people that made premier, premier.
@@robmiller817 Didn't know that, thx for the info!!

If You Know, You Know.
Well done, everyone.
All the drums sound great. What heads were on the toms?
Coated Ambassador and agreed!

The snares are fantastic but the TOMS! Sound amazing. What head combination do you have on them :)
That was quite an endorsement at the end Shane!
Undersung master.
Yall had me at he never had a 3 sum
Great video as usual from you guys. Was the ride cymbal Gerry used the John Robinson Deep ride?
Sure was, killer cymbal!
@@tinterlande I knew it! Maybe you guys can convince Paiste to make it in size 22? Its perfect
@@kuriza69 never hurts to ask!
I was not expecting that at .38
0:37 ahahah...
He left BDC for Mapex about a year after this video.
I want all the snares.... LOL. What did he end up choosing? (Or was that just part of the shtick?)
He brought home the 3 amigos!
The Nicorus
Him and Stanley Clarke
