People don't mention this enough but the recording engineers of Drumeo do such a great job capturing all the different drum kits that come they way. Their engineering and mixing skills are up there with Modern Drummer Festival quality.
Stanley is one of the most musical drummers I've ever heard and that's got to be why he grooves so perfect with Stevie. His skill and precision are blatantly obvious and his years of dedication come through but he retains this musicality in his drumming. It's organic. His ability to stack notes into his grooves and beats without them feeling too busy or cluttered is singular. So musical! Plays the kit like it's an instrument....like a horn or piano,ya know? Tasty!!!!
We use to play “Funky “ back in my day 60’s 70’ but this young MAN has taken it to another Level. I”m still playing at 72 yrs. And just learn something from this young MAN !! Great Drummer !!

I get what you're saying this dude is the baddest drummer I have ever seen beginning of the video at 3 minutes from there to 6 minutes and 43 seconds is the baddest drumming I've ever heard in my life I mean look at what he's doing with them sticks
Stanley nicely done. Clear, Articulate, focused on providing solid content, engaged and "into it" I stumbled on this video and ended up watching the whole thing. Funny, I'm not even a drummer but i took away alot from it! Nice Job.
I´ve learned so much with this video: - Pocket doesn't have to be boring - Playing inversed kit (open doors for your playing, new level) and helps to acquire autocontrol and discipline - If you make a mistake play it loud, make it like its ment to be there - Be confort playing - Alternative ways for grabbing the sticks, playing the hi hat and playing the ride - Dinamics, dinamics and dinamics (like dinamics are the expression of feeling) GREAT VIDEO!!!
This guys made so damn huge and great work with creating Drumeo. Imagine with how much satisfaction they working now. World class sound and musician. Dream job :)
After drumming for over 10 years I decided to turn my kit around and play left handed then I found this video a week later. So inspiring. I LOVE Drumeo!
One of the best guests Drumeo has had...great drummer, verbalizes it all well and has fun doing it. This was terrific.

It's funny I've been spending a lot of time working on ghost notes the past few weeks, and coming back and watching this again, and seeing Stanley's left hand work, all I can say is WOW!!
Proving a point. We learn everyday. I'm 50, drummer since 13. With this talent I've never heard of him. I'm old school too. Yes I've heard without knowing it. I was a Bernard Purdy guy. This cats feet are on spot, and powerful as dynamite. This cats a combo of Cobham, Purdy, few others. But his own monster, thanks for the treat.
@9:20 Hey ! Huge Shout out to you guys. I am just 10 minutes into this TH-cam video and I am so glued. All drummers have similar stories like Stanley says. Either you start drumming with your church choir or your school parades.
I liked this very much. Drumeo posts lots of videos with drummers that are very good technically, amazing co-ordination, but this one is actually enjoyable to listen to. You don't have to be a drummer to appreciate his playing.
I did sound at a church in LA..Clarence McClendon ministries...Stanley was drumming....was a real treat...very nice guy....I had the pleasure of doing sound for the band and praise team. The whole lot was hot. Epic.
That would be awesome if you guys could get in touch with Chris Dave! I'd love to see a broken beat/hip hop lesson. Mark Guiliana would be really awesome to see too! I realize it's probably very difficult to get in touch with drummers sometimes, but I'd just like to make a suggestion!
This music isn't even really my cup of tea but as a musician I can still respect it & definitely know when I'm watching a master at work...which I am certainly watching in this video. Wow bravo 👏
WOW musical chops on display..technique is not for licks but musical expression. his dynamics are spot on...one of the best drumeo intros...killed it those toms are perfect in tone as is bass drum
Brother of the Drum , Sir Stanley Randolph, You are officially my new Favourite Maestro of the One Man Pan African Drum Ensemble . . . ! . . . 🙂 (-; Big Ups ! Peace and Blessings, One Love :-) Be (-;
Tremendo tremendo baterista, con un gran feeling, toca super. Su ejecución en los platillos es genial, sus zildjians son espectaculares. Tiene un gran sonido en todo aspecto. Felicitaciones.
I love this!!! Soul you can feel coming through & someone brilliant enough to play K Zildjian's too (my favorite cymbals), as well as A's! I love the sound of the toms. Stanley started in Church which is really cool he is a believer. As a percussionist I would love to play in a band like this with such a fine drummer!! Great lesson...love the funky foot! :) I am loving this funky music!!!
@26:10 I'm not a drummer.... what's going on there w his feet? I see he's moving the hi hat w left foot...but I see a double kick action. Is the left pedal doing both the hihat and second kick beater? Or does that kick pedal do automatic doubles or something?
Stanley is probably one of my favorite drummers right now !! cat can shed like a beast but as we all know pocket is what gets you paid and yes bruh got it !!!!!! that left hand though !!!!
I only started recently watching Drumeo videos. I keep running into this preconception that i think i finally am done with. First Drumeo video i watched and i thought, wow, this guy is as good as it gets, if only i can hear another drummer this good. Then i see another Drumeo video suggested and I don't click on it for a while because i'm thinking to myself, 'what's the point, it would be near impossible for him to be as good as the other guy'. then i click on it. and mind blown, the guy is. this has happened for a handful of drummers and each time i'm blown away at how much talent they have and how each is an absolute master at their own thing. and then i realize, i made the right decision not trying to be a musician any longer than i did. i'll leave it up to these guys. i'll just sit here and appreciate them.
He should explain that at around 26:00 he is using his left foot on the hi-hat and secondary bass drum pedal at the same time to get a pre-hit on the bass because I tried doing it on a single bass drum( lot tougher)
I love that piece Samba Osuado by Terry Bozzio he took that independence exercise from. There was a video of Terry playing that full piece on youtube but it seems to be gone now, ref: 26mins
Maravilhosa aula com Stanley Randolph. Tenho acompanhado as aulas no Drumeo e uso bastante com meus alunos todos os recursos disponíveis. Abraço a todos!
People don't mention this enough but the recording engineers of Drumeo do such a great job capturing all the different drum kits that come they way.

iamthor it looks like they always use the same kit(s) but different set ups
All the different drummers bring there own kits!
Not exactly, this DW is Jared's personal kit.
I agree 100% those Engineers are awesome
find strange the way he mix the hats even if the rest is great
Stanley is one of the most musical drummers I've ever heard and that's got to be why he grooves so perfect with Stevie.

Tasty!!!!
What I like about his style of play is that he has chops, but he doesn't display them too much, he flashes them, and make you want them more...
M. Freeze w
Right? Ultimate pocket drummer...keeps the groove but can tear it up in the shed too
Good call, Sean. Now, if we could just get _vocalists_ to take that approach.
@@omnipop4936 The good ones do.
@@omnipop4936 LOL
That's one of the best intros played here in drumeo..he is soooo relaxed in groove and chops...just outstanding!!
"Slow it down, get it right." It's a pleasure to watch this guy work.
We use to play “Funky “ back in my day 60’s 70’ but this young MAN has taken it to another Level. I”m still playing at 72 yrs. And just learn something from this young MAN !! Great Drummer !!
Stanley the best funky drummer of the new generation. So rich natural so fluid.
Learning a lot from him
Ooof that first tune, he’s played it sooooo soooo beautifully, perfection
This session is LOADED WITH GOLD. I WILL spend years learning the first 3 minutes of Stanley breaking down the funk!
BADDEST DUDE I HEARD 4 A VERY LONG TIME!!

Drumeo, You guys should consider having Alan Evans from Soulive on Drumeo.. Just an idea.. I think he's and underrated drummer.
I can't seem to find what you on by Brandon brown anywhere!
You guys NEED to have JP Bouvet on here for a lesson!
me neither,i have to hear it
great job Drumeo Team :) ! next... CHRIS COLEMAN please!
His love for the drums and passion for the "feel good" aspect of music is what makes his playing all the more enjoyable to witness. Beautiful
How in the world have I not discovered this guy until now?! Amazing..
He's Stevie Wonder's most recent drummer too.
I get what you're saying this dude is the baddest drummer I have ever seen beginning of the video at 3 minutes from there to 6 minutes and 43 seconds is the baddest drumming I've ever heard in my life I mean look at what he's doing with them sticks
Same here sir 😀🔥🔥🔥
How? You haven't been listening to Stevie Wonder enough! 😉
I just discovered him...7 years after your comment...😅
pocket doesnt have to be boring.. great line there
What a wild drum setup... I like it.

Dynamics…. :)
As a percussionist, I appreciate drummers like Stanley.
This guys made so damn huge and great work with creating Drumeo. Imagine with how much satisfaction they working now. World class sound and musician. Dream job :)
Love Stanley Randolph drumming skillz, He is good funky drummer!
Love the intro track! I think it's worth mentioning that he is dancing around the "1" instead of explicitly playing it every time. Funk evolved!
After drumming for over 10 years I decided to turn my kit around and play left handed then I found this video a week later. So inspiring. I LOVE Drumeo!
This guy is one of the best, period, his timing is super human.
One of the best guests Drumeo has had...great drummer, verbalizes it all well and has fun doing it. This was terrific.

From 4:42 to 6::42 Is the most awesome Drumming I've ever heard!!!!!!
I liked this very much. Drumeo posts lots of videos with drummers that are very good technically, amazing co-ordination, but this one is actually enjoyable to listen to. You don't have to be a drummer to appreciate his playing.
THIS.

Drummers have such amazing skills.
Loving Stanley's style and feel. Smooth and full of groove.
That would be awesome if you guys could get in touch with Chris Dave! I'd love to see a broken beat/hip hop lesson. Mark Guiliana would be really awesome to see too! I realize it's probably very difficult to get in touch with drummers sometimes, but I'd just like to make a suggestion!
Don't forget Richard Spaven
I agree. Richard Spaven seems like someone who'd actually be able to dissect those kinda grooves n explain stuff.
^ this
yussef dayes
ok just checked his stuff... go get chris dave
One of my all time Drumeo favorites. Which is saying something considering how many great sessions Drumeo has done.
I agree. This is great stuff. What a drummer and he's a teacher as well. He gets it across :). Great video!
This video increased the funkyness around my headphones in a radius of 100miles.
The way he dances with it… full internal body groove & feel coming out in time through each limb
Absolutely amazing drumming and info. I'll be watching this repeatedly. Thank you Stanley and Drumeo! More funk!
This music isn't even really my cup of tea but as a musician I can still respect it & definitely know when I'm watching a master at work...which I am certainly watching in this video. Wow bravo 👏
THANK YOU ALL GUYS.....FOR ALL THE HELP. AND NICE INTERVIEWS THE THE BEST DRUMMERS AROUND
JO from NICE FRANCE
It's really nice to see these youngsters do the classic funk style from the from the acid jazz it's really nice
Id give anything to have Stanleys , groove , talent , Chops On and so forth ... Awesome Stanley. 3:49 Dude Killa fill OMG
The sound of his snare drum is enough to get a smile on my face
Been following Stan for quite a while now. Wonderful Musician. Talented brother!! He needs to bring out a DVD of his own.
He flows like a river, has power like the ocean, amazing timing
Great drumner, love his groove, swing and musicality. Love That Opening Tune.
WOW musical chops on display..technique is not for licks but musical expression. his dynamics are spot on...one of the best drumeo intros...killed it those toms are perfect in tone as is bass drum
Stumbled into this from Brown's Funky Drummer. Can't tear myself away from the opening jam. Jesus, man.
Brother of the Drum , Sir Stanley Randolph,
You are officially my new Favourite Maestro of the One Man Pan African Drum Ensemble . . . ! . . . 🙂

This guy is one the best drummers in the world for me!
One of my favorites! Love hearing him drum.
The FUNK is in this guy, a pure natural talent. Cool vid!
Tremendo tremendo baterista, con un gran feeling, toca super. Su ejecución en los platillos es genial, sus zildjians son espectaculares. Tiene un gran sonido en todo aspecto. Felicitaciones.
Excellent inclusion of the typically non-dominant hand. This just keeps getting better and better...
Finally some funk drumming, still waiting on David Garibaldi! ;)
We have David penciled in for a lesson in September. Hopefully all the scheduling works out! :)
HOLY SHIT! OMG I LOVE YOU! THANK YOU!!!
YESSSSSSSSSS
HOW IN THE WORLD? Simply Mind Blowing! Loved every second!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this!!! Soul you can feel coming through & someone brilliant enough to play K Zildjian's too (my favorite cymbals), as well as A's! I love the sound of the toms. Stanley started in Church which is really cool he is a believer. As a percussionist I would love to play in a band like this with such a fine drummer!! Great lesson...love the funky foot! :)
I am loving this funky music!!!
Feels so good to listen to this guy's pocket. Great lesson!
his style is soo unique
What a great drummer! Everything looks smooth and easy. Top!
Great lesson, love his feeling and playing.
the intro track was very interesting for me. very subtle and nuanced with a funky musical drive! awesome stuff
OH MY!!!!!! One of the greatest to ever do it! Those drums sound immaculate...
Another one of my favorite Drummers!!! First Eric, now Stanley?!!? If Chris Coleman is next......... I'm going to go crazy !!
Best drum shoes I have seen to date.
Drumeo is the best, when i think of tuning to some drum work DRUMEO comes first. keep it up guys
@26:10 I'm not a drummer.... what's going on there w his feet? I see he's moving the hi hat w left foot...but I see a double kick action. Is the left pedal doing both the hihat and second kick beater? Or does that kick pedal do automatic doubles or something?
yes, the left foot is playing both the hi hat and the left kick, this guy is amazing
Mr. StanleyRandolph, A so great Artist! Very great sound ! Fantastic !
Very good stick grip and relaxed hand technique. Will be borrowing some of that.
Love all the space in the funky horn break down @ around 4-5 minutes in
so incredible ! thank you so much Drumeo and thank you so much mr. Randolph🙏
That opening track is unbelievable 🔥
Cool shoes! Mr. Randolph's drumming is tight as hell, keeps a steady groove going, very nice.
Stanley is probably one of my favorite drummers right now !! cat can shed like a beast but as we all know pocket is what gets you paid and yes bruh got it !!!!!! that left hand though !!!!
outstanding drumming......full stop cheers!!!!!

Love you guys and everything, my favorite moment is when the guy says no doubt @8:25
This guy is ridiculously good - basics on lock - solid as a rock, and a pocket deeper than the Mariana trench. Mastery in action. WOW!!!! :) :) :)
The change in his dynamics is impeccable!
He should explain that at around 26:00 he is using his left foot on the hi-hat and secondary bass drum pedal at the same time to get a pre-hit on the bass because I tried doing it on a single bass drum( lot tougher)
I love that piece Samba Osuado by Terry Bozzio he took that independence exercise from. There was a video of Terry playing that full piece on youtube but it seems to be gone now, ref: 26mins
Always wondered who was Stevie's drummer....love his playing!
Maravilhosa aula com Stanley Randolph. Tenho acompanhado as aulas no Drumeo e uso bastante com meus alunos todos os recursos disponíveis. Abraço a todos!
So nice my brother yes! Thanks so good to see 👀 a man at work. Rick Brennan from CHANGE and Composite Truth Band N Philly love Bro 333.Rick
He has SO many JayZ faces!! Sublime drumming. Cheers!
YES!!! Thats how its done! Love Stanley's playing!!!
LOVE the groove that starts around 5:00
Still such a relevant lesson. Thanks Drumeo and Stanley!
Love this guys style.. its complete!!!
Love his awesome style and set up - really helpful and gr8 lesson !
Man, keeping it subtle and then being able to turn on the intensity is a great takeaway here
Holy crap how have I not heard of this guy? He's incredible!
Muita musicalidade, muito Lindo!! 👏👏
Real smooth, really good, exceptionally good.
He is my favourite drummer
Excellent Smooth groove Check out how he chokes up on his left hand in match grip unique in itself to achieve that smooth momentum on snare
That Drumeo guy has the best job in the world.
Stanley Randolph is the man
That first tune he plays on, super super nice, super tasteful 😳
Am gonna have to watch this whole thing now
Flams add so much...super control here and appreciate not every losing the Kick Drum...
