This is not a drum class, this is a sermon about drumming! You can feel the energy, you can feel the attitude. I could listen to his shuffle all day long, almost like a guided meditation. Incredible drummer.
Amen. 8:40 (Just a thought but) "Attitude. Keep the tempo slower (put a smile on your face) , Don't be angry when you're playing the Purdie Shuffle (following God's beats and make everyone see it), because the Bass player (God) we'll carry you right along, and the next person carrying you is going to be the Keyboardist (Jesus) Getting ready in the joints and of course, the guitar player (The Holy Spirit) they comes a little later and satan will stay out of the way.... thank you"
I've had the honor and privilege of playing with Purdie for the last 35 years or so. His is the deepest pocket I've ever encountered. God bless you, Bernard.
Dont get me wrong, gospel chops are awesome, blast beats and fast playing are impressive, jazz grooves are amazing but this here.......this. this is why I still play drums and have done for almost 30 years. My favourite drummer of all time, and anyone reading this who plays and has never tried to nail the Purdie shuffle....when you do try, it will make you realise actually how amazing this legend is. I've been practising that groove everyday for 3 years now, and have only just started to get a bit smoother......another 30 and I still wouldnt be any where near as smooth as Bernard hahaha!
Man I feel you. I've been obsessed with the purdie shuffle lately, playing it all day long, not getting bored one second. That shit puts you in a transe. Purdie is a treasure :)
Remarkable. This is a drumming genius. His work with Fagen and Becker is incredible. What a treasure - 9 minutes plus of this and not a single beat less than perfect.
this beat is life. It's very hard to master, but the quest to get there is very joyous, and when you finally get the train going steadily, it feels like the beat lives (leaves?) on its own. So rewarding :)
@@PiwaiGee Been working on mastering this beat for a very long time. Mr Perdie makes it look so simple. Such a joy to watch this happy human metronome work his magic. Absolute legend!
I've done deep dives into drummers like Neil Peart, Thomas Lang, Jimmy Sullivan, and Mike Portnoy. My dive into the drumming of Bernard Purdie has improved my drumming as much or more than any of them. He's helping me put some swing and much more groove and feel into my drumming, which is opening a door to many more different types of music that I didn't think I'd enjoy playing as much. Yesterday I was playing a bunch of Sade songs and hypnotizing myself into a state of pure bliss : )
The one and only Bernard Purdie, I bet nobody else can play it like this. So effortless and at the same time so masterfully professional. The most laidback drumming I’ve seen.
The best drummer to put his foot in the world! He's the DNA of everything, he is music, he is history, he is Bernard Pretty Purdie P.S: Jeff Porcaro thanks for telling me about him
I had the honor of watching this amazing talent at one our local clubs in NC. Then had the pleasure and honor to meet him after the gig! What an amazing man and talent! Bless you, Bernard!
This is what drumming should be about. Joy. He is smiling and laughing while locked in the pocket. I hate to say it but too many Drummers I have come across have bad attitudes especially if they feel like they have more or better chops than you. Just have fun, music is supposed to make you feel good
a true master of his craft and a leading example of what is known and respected today ...excellent! I wonder how the sound engineers have always managed to exclude his accompanying valuable comments from the recordings...😅
I’m a beginner and the first shuffle I’ve started learning is the Rosanna shuffle (stupid thing for a beginner I know) but seeing this video makes me realize I need to learn this first

"I could listen to his shuffle all day long"... Amen, Brother!

It has nothing to do with The Gospel except for the part that got you to admit you have an innate capacity for worship
@@einarabelc5 Neither does farmers, seeds, or fish, but Jesus used parables to say deeper things. Don't be so quick to miss the meaning behind things.
we are all in the choir!!
This guy has more grooves than a fresh set of tires. More pockets than a trench coat.
More class than all the schools of the world!
He even talks in time
Such a legend
ye

Did he ever do his little scat humming while drumming with the band? 😂😂
@@Prodby3128 He did, and every once in a while he'll actually sing a tune! He's a pretty good singer, and his musical instincts are second to none.
Definitely Blessed. Deeeep POCKET
His pocket is *so* deep, James Cameron wants to explore it with a sub.
Thats amazing, can you tell him we love him next time you see him x

That snare sounds absolutely fantastic
well, yes, but let's be real. it is not the instrument, it is absolutely the sound of genius Bernard Purdie!
His hands sound fantastic lucky snare
@@bradlloyd6261 definitely
Rick Beato did an interview with Purdie and they cover his setup such as high hat clutches, cymbal tape, snares, where & hot to hit, etc.
Gorgeous snare. Ideal.
Get the shuffle on a loop and just see how many different bass lines you can write to it. It's endless.
Great idea 💡 👍
That’s awesome, Shitty Bill! You should jam to Carter McLean as well… Carter is a phenomenal player and has tons of videos of just drums.
just did that. Always learning.
Mr. Purdie's high-hat chops are simply phenomenal!
He's not just a drummer, he's the whole band!!!!
What a treasure he is!
Long live Bernard Purdie
Remarkable. This is a drumming genius. His work with Fagen and Becker is incredible. What a treasure - 9 minutes plus of this and not a single beat less than perfect.
That's the essence of drumming, a pure feeling
Nobody plays like him, absolutely amazing... I love progressive metal drumming, but nothing can beat an honest Purdie Shuffle.
This man has such a great energy to him
just imagine, he's a man that influenced both John Bonham & Jeff Porcaro. a living treasure of music. just wow.
Bernie has been counting out his heartbeats since he was born.
Pretty Purdie is the GOAT!!
How could anyone not love this cat, Mr Bernard Purdie 💎🌟🎵❤️
Damn, what a groove. That kick-drum is speaking to me. Dat RIDE-CYMBAL!
I could watch this man for hours... always amazing!
Damn, bringing a tear to my eye over here… What a legend and a beautiful person 🖤🖤🖤
May GOD Bless you always Bernard.......
And Forever!
Try playing it at 1.25x and even 1.5x this shit GOOOOOO
I got hooked on that beat my whole life. That's all I need to groove. Thank you. You own it all. Man, I wish you were my teacher.

Thanks god this is filmed …. What a genius. So much attitude
Babylon Sisters....Shake it...
He is a Album all by himself. That's amazing! Thanks for posting.
Man, he is 83 years old! Amazing!
8:3
once in a while you have to come back to this, absolute legend.
Best drummer ever. He really is!! This man has a tremendous spirit and gets you engaged with the rhythm like no other drummer.
Purdie's swing plays around within the beat so much. It's just oozing with soul.
Love this man!
This man is a legend
Home at Last.😊💯💗
Honestly, I can't think of another beat that I'd spend as much time listening to as this one.
Simply, perfection!
Great Man

The favorite drummer of the favorite drummer of YOUR favorite drummer!

The best drummer to put his foot in the world! He's the DNA of everything, he is music, he is history, he is Bernard Pretty Purdie
P.S: Jeff Porcaro thanks for telling me about him
stop with that childish "best' stuff. It isn't real. .. and if it was, he isn't.
@@morbidmanmusic for you brother, for me, he is the best
Wow! Using finger taps on the snare for ghost notes while cross sticking. Incredible! Learned something new!
The ghost notes with his fingers lol…just brilliance…. This man is a drum legend and national treasure
That is an onboxious amount of microphones for a drumset of this size.
so cool playing...
This man is an inspiration and a treasure. So pretty
Magnifico.💯💯💯💯💯💯

You are an inspiration.
You can definately hear the roots of the drumstyles of many other genres
LOVE!
His drums always sound very good. Woody with organic acoustic feel. I love it. “You don’t have to play loud”, you sure don’t have to mr Purdie.
This is one of my go to grooves.
I wonder just how how many time that Mr Purdie has performed the fragment of his incredible career?
National Treasure.
This man is a living Buddha
Groove, Groove, Groove.....
I wish a can see Mr Bernard playing with Abraham Laboriel, will be epic
Wow!
a true master of his craft and a leading example of what is known and respected today ...excellent!
I wonder how the sound engineers have always managed to exclude his accompanying valuable comments from the recordings...😅

he tells his watch what time it is
Legend 🙏🏻
