I was there for this... KADS represented that "H". But honestly... he's pure spirit. I've always loved his sincerity with the instrument. Its rare these days to fine a great musician that is an awesome individual and looking to expand their conscience to that higher level that includes everyone instead of excluding everyone.
This cat Kendrick Scott on drums is soooooo sick! I heard Art Blakey, then I heard him scratch like DJ, then the band went into a Hancock-esque vamp and started the cycle, and I loved every TASTY DAMN MINUTE OF IT! This is the real thang!
No words... best drummer I’ve heard. It’s not just the technical wizardry. He’s singing with the rhythms. So much soul. Every drum is gorgeous on its own and together. Just. Godly.
Holy Cow, these guys take flight @ around 4:30, and then Scott takes it even higher at about 5:30! Scott drives the band right thru to about 8:00 . . . In the zone, free-flight, flowww-in! Jazz at its best! AWESOME!!
We’re seeing one of the Jazz greats here. Mike Moreno is another we are witnessing burn through these great jazz sounds. I was lucky enough to see them once together. Hopefully Mike plays with Kendrick at the Nate Holden theater in October so lightning can strike twice for me.
Ok so... i believe that is Steve Smith with his wife at min 10:00!!!!! What a life... "Yeah,... Steve and his wife came out to watch my show, we had a long chat after the gig about the wine selection.."
Wow, I had no idea who I was meeting when I meet you the other day at Rockin Robin. You are one very talented guy. I pray God's blessing on you and your family and much more success!
Loving the flipping of the snare drum. Spotted the sound of him doing it in a different video, and now I can visually confirm him doing it while he plays. Signature move?
Hector Alonso From an Interview with Kendrick: "...Chris Dave who I’ve admired since I was a kid... I knew Chris before I knew Eric, I’ve been watching Chris since I was eight or nine years old ". Chris Dave is actually quite old and THE MAN. You see here Chris' influence on Jazz drumming. lifeandtimes.com/jazz-drummer-kendrick-scott-speaks-on-new-album-conviction
Got to sit a few feet away from him last year when he played the Green Mill in Chicago with Kurt Elling. A top 10 musical experience of my life - and not because of Kurt.
I used to mess around with upside down snare drum 40 years ago, although not nearly as well as KSO, and twice my stick went right through the head. Wallet made me stop.
Nah its push pull, so you kind of let the stick drop (do give a little push with your wrist) and then you close your fingers (still relaxed) which gives you two notes. Then he pretty much repeats it infinitely 😂✌️
Anyone know what that fill is called at 6:30? Or what rudiment he uses? Been hearing that lick a lot lately and it's bugging me cause I can't really figure it out.
I wish I could have even 5% of that cymbal technique. Sure...I can practice and play like mad and get something like that....but I'll never practice my way to having THAT exact touch. What a monster.
most people would simply call it modern jazz; other players in this style would be artists like Seamus Blake, Robert Glasper, Gerald Clayton, Gretchen, etc.

instablaster...
This comment kills me because it’s completely true. I wish I could have been there.
Still coming back to this in 2024. Absolute finesse on display!
Joe Sanders on bass, Taylor Eigsti on Keys, John Ellis on sax, Mike Moreno on guitar

Yep, you got it

1:30 this groove will now become my life

so articulate.

It's not the kit. It is the great drummer manipulating the kit to sound so good.
Never tired of hearing this
WOW - Kendrick, you are still killin' just like I remember from back at Berklee!
still* ? haha
Saw this amazing dude at the Village Vanguard last friday. Sickest playing i have ever heard in my life. Extraordinary musician!

holy wow
Nice feeling, man!
Did this freak of nature just turn the drum over and start scatting with snare???...wth
manb4war jup, it's actually kinda easy to do, but his version of it is really cool putting it in a beat like that
Absolute monster
Drums and bass are super tight.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌.
I used to mess around with upside down snare drum 40 years ago, although not nearly as well as KSO, and twice my stick went right through the head. Wallet made me stop.
Steve Smith in the audience at 10:00?
and Eric Harland at 10:04!
7:58 wooo
Boul Nice wit his craft
i miss my words!!
upside down snare, really? your my new hero!
:::when he flps the snare over and you realize he was playing ON THE SNARE::: -rewind-
See you in Johannesburg!
I cant believe there are dislikes to this.
Incredible pocket
Does anybody know what cymbal he used at the end? Digging that sound
i would also like to know
K Istanbul
j dilla mood!!!!
Anyone know what snare he's using ? Sounds dam sweet!
It's a custom Dunnett snare.
Can someone explain what type of stroke is Kendrick Scott is using to play those single hand 16th note patterns on the ride? Is that moeller?
Nah its push pull, so you kind of let the stick drop (do give a little push with your wrist) and then you close your fingers (still relaxed) which gives you two notes. Then he pretty much repeats it infinitely 😂✌️
That snare drum rules. Anyone know what make/model it is?
Sorta looks like a noble and cooley, maybe???
Tasty!
Anyone know what that fill is called at 6:30? Or what rudiment he uses? Been hearing that lick a lot lately and it's bugging me cause I can't really figure it out.
Amazing! Also, is that Ben Wendel on sax?
Also that whacky swirly sound effect near the end.. what is it? haha o.O
Is that Mike Moreno?
Yes.
You use TWO coated heads on both sides of the snare?!
I wish I could have even 5% of that cymbal technique. Sure...I can practice and play like mad and get something like that....but I'll never practice my way to having THAT exact touch. What a monster.
Is Kendrick playing a Gladstone snare?
what do you call this subgenre of jazz?
Post Modern Jazz?
5:45 what on earth
taylor eigsti on keys?
kendrick the only hipster that is actually special
So far I may be 100 of these views. When you hit 300,00 I might be 100,000 of those views trying to learn the drum parts.
Buddy Rich would have been impressed
what snare is that? aluminum?
Looks like a Dunnett cast aluminum or titanium
Tommy Gunn Dunnett titanium, the tone is crazy consistent. It sounds exactly like it does on the record.
band member names please.
"Blushda"
most people would simply call it modern jazz; other players in this style would be artists like Seamus Blake, Robert Glasper, Gerald Clayton, Gretchen, etc.
Aaron Parks?
Does anyone know what cymbals is he using? I think they are Zildjian, but I'm curious about the model
Juan Burgos i know his main right which is a 22" zildjian renaissance ride, sounds beautiful
Old zildj, Istanbul. I asked him and Brian blade, can't get them unless you pay a bazillion dollars lol
