Being a Drummer over 50 Years I ve Never Seen anyone Reach this Level of Proficentcy Intensity other Than Buddy But This Drummer Ultilizes his entire Set Knowing every Nuance He is a True ARTIST
Lee, this must be the one of the most creative, immersive, passionate, entertaining drum solos I have ever seen!!!! You are blessed with a gift beyond compare. Keep sharing your talent with the world.
Chris Botti knows how to pick them, that's for sure! I just came to this video from another Chris Botti drum solo video of when Billy Kilson was on tour with him. THAT was one of the best drum solos I've ever seen, and now I'm watching THIS. I'm just so glad that I gave up on the drums a long time ago. I still love messing around but to reach anything close to this level would be impossible for me. I'm just so happy that others are able to capture and upload these amazing performances for all of us to see.
+Lee Pearson This is my kind of solo. I dare say it's not so much a solo as a track in it's own right : it's got impetus, movement, steam, direction. Magnificent.
That Drum Solo is the best, I am 69 years old and have listened to the best drummers from the late, 1930s to this day, Jazz is my style, and you, my gifted friend can stand with any musician in the world,
Lee Pearson an inspiration in drumming. What I am hearing and seeing is God Given talent. The man Lee is drumming from his heart. Notice how he gets soft soft and then uses dynamics I would say that many drummers out there today are great no doubt about it. I can hear Max Roach ideas in is playing and the chops are there. Without a doubt this man deserves all the recognition and then some. As a fellow drummer I admire him and will wait for more exciting drumming from this fine musician. thank you and God Bless You BOOM
I was a big Spyro fan, and I remember watching Mr. Pearson ply his craft masterfully "back in the day." But I never saw this level of magic. This is phenomenal. Absolutely unforgettable. Lee Pearson has become a force of nature.
He's got the showmanship of Pappa Joe Jones and the chops of Buddy Rich and then some! I just saw him with Chris Botti and the Oregon Symphony and I had to look him up on youtube and see him play again. The solo is astounding but to watch him play live with that band is something else again!
I just saw you at Ravinia Music Festival in Highland Park with Chris Botti. You are amazing, so glad I had the chance to see you perform in person. This was the best concert ever!!!
You're the Alan Dawson of your time. I saw him in a clinic in 1970~ I bought that kit hoping to sound anything like him. But of course I had no idea the master that he was. He wad just a ghost of texture ... You carry on this amazing tradition to a degree he would have loved...I loved Alan for his great humility and unsung place in Drumming history...Carry on this legacy Lee...Alan lives in you! God bless Ed Genovese composer/ Drummer
Saw the show last night and was gobsmacked! Seen Peart, Palmer, Copeland and shot video of Gadd, but I never saw anything like your solo last night. Thanks for coming out and sharing your talents with us!
One of the most (maybe THE most) brilliant, inspired, and wonderful drum solos I've heard, and I've been playing for 50 years. I love the dynamics--volume dynamics, intensity dynamics, lyrical dynamics--the humor, and most of all the sheer joy of playing that is so evident here. Of course there's the phenomenal technique and the astounding technical ability, too. For most drummers these days, that seems to be all there is, but here those things are all in service to the musical expression. And in my book, being musical is the highest calling a drummer can aspire to. This sets a new benchmark and provides enough creative inspiration to keep me going for the next two years.
This is my first time seeing Lee, and I am totally blown away by your musicianship, style, timing, feel, approach, showmanship, originality, control, versatility, technique and love for the drums. You are in a league of your own.
Wow thanks so much.. Thanks so much appreciate the love and support!! Please keep me in your prayers as I will do for you!!! Blessings to you and your family!
Lee you are one with your drums. It feels as if they are an extension of your body. Stunning performance! Thanks for opening my eyes to such amazing talent.
Plant a groove seed in fertile soul and amazing things can happen. How great is it to see a musician so connected to what's inside them and be so intimate with their instrument that it just flows outward? I feel inspired after watching you play, Lee : )
fantastic. so unique and different terrific showman appeal to drummers and non drummers alike for the pure skill and eccentricity. The dudes' brilliant, and he owns catagorie of drumming he exists in on his own!
Great chops brother !! Been drumming 40+ years , seen some greats and you are knocking on the doorstep my friend !!! Awesome technique , great speed , accurate and tasty all at once !!!
Man, this is pretty awesome. I was told to check this out by a friend of mine who fancies himself a drummer but is actually a red headed pastry chef. :)
Ah! Originality! A Drum Master having fun at work. Chops (for the sake of "wow") are for cutting drummers but this was a solo for the audience. Many other drummers seem to forget that.

Easily one of the most underrated musicians of all time
This man just played the air, and I swear I heard it.
Finally a solo both the lay person and a drummer can appreciate. Great showmanship as well.
Some of the most ecstatic drumming I’ve ever seen!
So creative, entertaining, and just…..wow!!!
Been one of my favorite solos for years
The Man
You will never see anybody do it better , simply the best

+Lee Pearson God Bless you Mr. Pearson! :)
+Lee Pearson This is my kind of solo. I dare say it's not so much a solo as a track in it's own right : it's got impetus, movement, steam, direction. Magnificent.
Absolutely awesome! fantastic showmanship with the chops to match!
Such an AWESOME showstopper of a solo. I'm not a Botti fan, but I'd pay good money to see Lee Pearson play...

I smiled all the way through this. Incredible. Kudos to Bill Burr for showing this guy some love.
