couldnt agree more i remember going to a clinic in dublin and someone asked him he use a metronome..his answer "i am a metronome" its that sort of confidence you need to make a great rnb track 😀
🤣 I never get tired of this, ever! Hilarious as hell but certainly one of the highest studio legends of the United States, Mr. Bernard ''Pretty'' Purdie.
Wow. Thank you for that hahah. What’s funny is I thought it sounded so familiar when Bernard said it..and I was just let it slide until I read this comment hahaha
@@michaelmcdonald8452 Vulfpeck has a song where the lyrics go: Aquarion Ford Taurus A strike on the box Ooh, Ford Focus Roberta Flack, Donny Hathaway Frank Sinatra It may have come from 0:29
Can we take a minute to appreciate how when Bernard is playing by himself, but then they start playing the actual track, he's in perfect tempo with it? The man is a human metronome. Unreal.
That's the mark of an ace session musician, and that's why guys like Brian Wilson and Fagan and Becker went with them for their most important records.
Hilarious to hear Donald Fagan talk about that story about Purdie's signs with his typical dry sarcasm while Bernard is going uuugh AAH ungh ungh ungh AAHH in the background
Not over technical yet differentiated himself enough to stand out. This proved that you don't have to be a fancy drummer just a unique one to make a mark. His pocket is like no other. This is one of the coldest shuffle beats that I've ever heard.
I had the extreme pleasure of getting to see Bernard play and got to meet and hang with him last night! It is a night I will never forget! And the sweetest dude you could ever meet! ❤️ Don’t nobody play drums like Bernard Purdie!
FRANK Ssssinatra :--) It's shame that Bernard appears to feel underappreciated by the industry. For my money, he's only eclipsed by Earl Palmer as MASSIVELY influential studio player.
Bernard Purdie is probably one of the most underrated drummers out there. The guy is just off the charts on his drum Technics . No wonder so many wanted him on their Albums he is the Perfect time Machine. Thanks, Bernard what a great inspiration you are to all of us drummers.
Underrated? By whose standards? Unless the definition has changed over the last few decades.. by the way, "underrated" musicians don't get hired to play in so many bands and recording sessions
@@PapaEli-pz8ff Ask anyone on the street if they know who Bernard Purdie is. Despite how many tracks he played on, I guarantee most won't know who he is, even if they know the songs he played on. That makes him underrated.
Fagen is so understated - just say it: the brother's gem, the Purdie Shuffle, was the driving force behind the immortalization of that great song. The hit maker made true on his word.
Steely Dan’s Aja could very well be the pinnacle of music making. Certainly after the classical era. It’s in there with a handful of record certainly. What a thrill it must’ve been to be in a studio with those two guys during their heyday
Plays it as smooth as rolling off a log. Insane talent. Jeff Porcaro gives Bernard props in one of his instructional videos, so that should tell you something!
Played the drums my whole life, always loved playing to Steely Dan and that's where I learned of Bernard Purdie. I've always loved the challenge of playing to Home at Last. Great video 👍👍👍
Glad I can say I was lucky enough to catch Steely live once in my life. This was the Two Against Nature tour so a little late but still epic. As a drummer, Purdie inspires impeccably.
Purdie, always on time, sets the groove.....and leaves space for everyone else whose playing.....and when required.....killer Drum Fills, and all this Genres of Music.....none ever failed because of Bernard.....he is a Cosmic Touchstone of Percussion and Rhythm.
Funny. I have read interviews in which Fagen is very complimentary of Gadd. And Becker said once Chuck Rainey join the band he stopped bringing his bass to the studio. He mentions in the full doc on Aja that he felt outclassed when they started using strictly studio musicians.
Adolphus Alobander I've watched him play from 5 feet away. Far as I'm concerned, he can say what he wants. He DEFINITELY knows his stuff. I learned more from.him in one drum clinic than a decade of lessons, just watching his hands. He was wrong on one thing, he said drummers who sing tend to drop time (why Phil.Collins has another drummer). I forgot to bring up Karen Carpenter.

My God I love this song. Everyone else goes for Deacon Blues (fantastic, of course), or Peg (fun single!), but I really love HOME AT LAST. It's a bit pretentious, but the music is so moving to me that it makes the lyrics seem perfect.
My respect and regard for Bernard Purdie skyrocketed when I once seen him playing the Purdie shuffle softly, and using his fingers on the snare to play the ghost notes rather than the sticks. Something magical about that finesse and touch at such a low volume. As simple as it was it changed how I seen the instrument after that. Thank you BP!
"Home at Last" has been my fav of The Dan for almost 40 years. That drum rhythm is second to none...without it the song never gets off the ground. Walter's solo and "Pretty's" beat makes "Home" the underappreciated force it is!
Even when he is talking about something so very simple, it unquestionable clear that he understands that concept on levels way beyond what I am able to comprehend.
What's so super cool about Mr. Bernard Purdie is how he lent himself so accessible and available to so many different artists and groups back in the day ... I didn't know he played with legends Steely Dan which is way cool but I'm not surprised ... You all want to listen to a really nice album Bernard played on? Go check out an album by an early Sweet Soul group called Family Circle ... They have the nicest backing harmonies over these old school love ballads and right there every step of the way is Bernard Purdie placing mood and tone and tempo all over the place!
Bernard Purdie is one of the GREATEST drum players in the history of music.He invented the legendary "PURDIE SHUFFLE" played by thousands drummers on the planet.
Just how Awesome is the "Purdie Shuffle"? Bernard Purdie, the Hit Maker! Listen to the "Shuffle" on "Home At Last", no doubt this Cat is...One-of-a-Kind!...Peace...!
I'll never listen to that tune in the same way again. I had no idea he played on that chart. No wonder it grooves! I've been playing on my steering wheel for some time now. Thanks for sharing this.
That drum part is just pure awesomeness, really grounds the song beautifully. Aja is an incredible album, it and Gaucho are some of the best-produced albums I've ever heard.
The great bands have a sound all their own. You might say a band sounds like Steely Dan, but it's rare that you say that Steely Dan sounds like some other band.
The thing was that after the first couple of albums, Steely Dan wasn't a band in any traditional sense of the word. It was Fagan and Becker, and whole bands of top notch session musicians. The genius of Fagan and Becker, beyond the brilliant songwriting, was that they could take this different combinations of session players and create coherent and cohesive records. You listen to Aja, and it's so damned good that you are unaware that this was an album that took a year to cut and where you likely had no two tracks with exactly the same personnel. Sadly, an album like Aja couldn't be made in this day and age. Actual record sales make up a dwindling part of the revenue of musicians, that the idea of laboring over a record for a year, the record company fronting huge amounts of money and studio time to allow artists like Steely Dan to build these pieces of perfection, is unimaginable.
I'd be honored if some Steely Dan fans would check out my acoustic keyboard & vocal cover of HOME AT LAST on my channel in tribute to the great Walter Becker. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Thanks and pardon the promo.
What the heck are we doing obsessing over an album 46 years old...??? Because it incorporated so many intricacies and design that at first glance we never realized, that's why...
This is the feel that a drum machine or whatever these beat makers do today can never produce!! The Purdie Shuffle connects with people. A machine can't because it has no soul!!
DesignPro2002 Kinda agree but Prince was mad man on the Linn LM 1. Brilliant drum programming on classic tunes like 1999, When Doves Cry, and many others.
i wouldn't blame the machine. An artist only needs an instrument and with it can make miracles. I have heard programmers do excellent work to the tune that the "knowledgeable " don't know it was a machine.
Not only one of the all time great drummers but also the most charismatic. Watch the video where he breaks down the shuffle, he's a fucking riot and you learn a thing or two
this is a masterpiece no doubt, seriously, of the arts produced in the face of the earth for the whole history, there's no paralel to such novelty in the field of auditory perceptions
Bernard Purdie can back up every bit of smack he lays down. The man is an unbelievable drummer.
Dave Owens He’s becoming one of my faves...and I’m 48 and drumming since I was 15!!!!
couldnt agree more i remember going to a clinic in dublin and someone asked him he use a metronome..his answer "i am a metronome" its that sort of confidence you need to make a great rnb track 😀
Not as conceited or as grumpy as Ginger by a country mile. But still unnecessarily conceited.
His foot is faster than light!
@@canadianroot Listen more. He's 100% NOT full of it.
"Bernard - we don't know exactly what we want, but we don't want a shuffle."
- Ok, let me play you my half-time shuffle.
"We love it."
- mmm-hmm.
Same with Chuck Rainey on bass "We don't want any slapping"
Chuck: slaps
Walter and Don: We love it
Bernard's "Ohh Bee Bap Bah Duh Doo Dadda Dee" is better than 95% of music out there today!
🤣 I never get tired of this, ever! Hilarious as hell but certainly one of the highest studio legends of the United States, Mr. Bernard ''Pretty'' Purdie.
That's because it's rooted in Black music, which was funkier and earthier then than it is now. His feel is phenomenal.
😂 yup
*ever made
When he said "backata BAH" I felt that
0:25 finally know where those lines in 1612 by Vulfpeck came from. rad.
Haha that's awesome
Hahahahha
YES
I just listened to this and instantly I was like 😳😳
Wow. Thank you for that hahah. What’s funny is I thought it sounded so familiar when Bernard said it..and I was just let it slide until I read this comment hahaha
Watching him rock the Purdie shuffle and verbally explain simultaneously is ridiculous. What a talent.
You done hired the hit maker!
BOO-BEE, BACKADACKADEBACKADA OOH-BEE, BACKADACKADEBACKADA, BOO-BEE, AH, BOO-BOO-BOO AH...
And that's how you do the Purdie Shuffle.
Funny, my wife's name is BACKADACKADEBACKADA.
Actually it's BOO-BEE, BOPBOODACKADABOOKADABOOKADAaDAaDAaDA, OOH, AH, OOH OOH OOH AH.
Eggy Noggy “you gotta come in on the boom chicca not the frappa tappa!” Been there done that
You done it.
I finally understand the Vulfpeck reference to this in 1612. "Roberta Flack, Donny Hathaway... FRANK Sinatra."
What do you mean?
@@michaelmcdonald8452 Vulfpeck has a song where the lyrics go:
Aquarion
Ford Taurus
A strike on the box
Ooh, Ford Focus
Roberta Flack, Donny Hathaway
Frank Sinatra
It may have come from 0:29
that's the key to my heart
LETS GOO I UNDERSTAND
Lol
Can we take a minute to appreciate how when Bernard is playing by himself, but then they start playing the actual track, he's in perfect tempo with it? The man is a human metronome. Unreal.
That's the mark of an ace session musician, and that's why guys like Brian Wilson and Fagan and Becker went with them for their most important records.
handidrummed that blew me away too!!! Couldn't believe it...
Good ear. That is ridiculous.
thats because they cut from a clip of him to the actual song xDD
Was checked before
Bernard Purdie doesn't create a beat. He creates a pulse. A pulse you dance to, nod your head to, feel in your body. That's what makes a song, a song.
Excellent observation.
The drumming on this track was immediately my focus the first time I heard this song. It's incredible.
Hilarious to hear Donald Fagan talk about that story about Purdie's signs with his typical dry sarcasm while Bernard is going uuugh AAH ungh ungh ungh AAHH in the background
2:55 lol its just so funny when donald starts talking and purdie's still going "oooh aah" in the background
lol yeah as if he's just sitting in the other room grooving by himself
The cut at the end too about him being confident
Absolutely fantastic editing on this video
LOL
for real i thought this video was like a parody for a sec
Fuck, mate. He could just make an album with him playing and speaking and it would be fantastic.
bernard purdie - master drummers vol 1&2, those r what u want
+Smurfman256 Jeezuz I never clicked what the Dan 'sound' actually was...thought it was Fagen. WOW!
Thanks !
I would buy that album and listen to it on repeat until the day I die
Agree
Not over technical yet differentiated himself enough to stand out. This proved that you don't have to be a fancy drummer just a unique one to make a mark.
His pocket is like no other.
This is one of the coldest shuffle beats that I've ever heard.
Sign 1: You Done It!
Sign 2: You Done Hired The Hitmaker, Bernard Purdie!
I had the extreme pleasure of getting to see Bernard play and got to meet and hang with him last night! It is a night I will never forget! And the sweetest dude you could ever meet! ❤️ Don’t nobody play drums like Bernard Purdie!

Basically, this guy invented yacht rock, and he has the sweater to prove it.
Bill Cosby called- he doesn´t need the sweater back.
its coogi
indiesoc He was just a massive session hired gun. Definitely didn't invent yacht rock. Just ask Michael McDonald.
The Doobie Bounce is the origin of Yacht Rock
LOL 😄😄😄😄
The greatest session drummer of all time. No one was ever better than Bernard “Pretty” Purdue. If you needed a hit, you got him.
Purdie talking over the groove and then scat signing other grooves over his groove is always so awesome .
Fagen is so understated - just say it: the brother's gem, the Purdie Shuffle, was the driving force behind the immortalization of that great song. The hit maker made true on his word.
Not just this song but like, over half of The Royal Scam album lol
saw this with my parents at 9 and became a drummer....20 years has flown by

Jeff used to watch his dad making music with Purdie and on a break, ask about the drums and try to learn his stuff.
You got Purdy on drums. You got everything.
Purdie's shuffle is absolutely outstanding and extra-class. Feeling and sense of groove is amazing.
Played the drums my whole life, always loved playing to Steely Dan and that's where I learned of Bernard Purdie. I've always loved the challenge of playing to Home at Last. Great video 👍👍👍

Check out his interview with Rick Beato.
Home At Last, one of their most underrated songs.
Absolutely. That and caves of altamira are my favorite dan tunes
wow, Becker and Fagen were a whisker away from actually complementing another musician....
Lol
They’re actually a little bit star struck with Wayne Shorter in this documentary (to make up for ignoring Steve Gadd’s contribution, perhaps).
The compliment is being asked to play, for the very best record producers ever.
Funny. I have read interviews in which Fagen is very complimentary of Gadd. And Becker said once Chuck Rainey join the band he stopped bringing his bass to the studio. He mentions in the full doc on Aja that he felt outclassed when they started using strictly studio musicians.
hah idk 2:20 though sounds like that was it though.
Mr. Purdie has become one of my top two drummers of all time right up there with Lombardo. I can't stop searching his videos
Ha! You sound like me. I thought I was the only one that swung so wildly between musical influences.
I love when he starts to sing his drum beat.
My husband recently passed and Bernard was his inspiration.
Then your husband was class and style and still is. Peace to you.
Love it. Purdie's pocket is barely street legal.
It's sad Purdie is always dropping names... because the only name he needs to drop is Bernard Purdie. Great Drummer.
I agree man, these artists should be proud they had Purdie saving their records.
Adolphus Alobander I've watched him play from 5 feet away. Far as I'm concerned, he can say what he wants. He DEFINITELY knows his stuff. I learned more from.him in one drum clinic than a decade of lessons, just watching his hands.

This is one of several variations of this I've heard. Bernard is a legend. Love him.
My God I love this song. Everyone else goes for Deacon Blues (fantastic, of course), or Peg (fun single!), but I really love HOME AT LAST. It's a bit pretentious, but the music is so moving to me that it makes the lyrics seem perfect.
I always put this song on when I get back from a long grueling trip.
My respect and regard for Bernard Purdie skyrocketed when I once seen him playing the Purdie shuffle softly, and using his fingers on the snare to play the ghost notes rather than the sticks.
Something magical about that finesse and touch at such a low volume. As simple as it was it changed how I seen the instrument after that. Thank you BP!
Its amazing seeing these two legends in awe of another legend. Home at last is probably my favorite SD song and now I understand why.
I always love it when musicians give homage to their peers
Home at Last will always be my favorite song. Purdie is mainly the cause of this. Thanks Bernie!
loved when they isolated Purdie, that beat is just killer
"Babylon Sisters...... Shake it!"
Shake it in two takes according to Brian Sweet's bio on SD. Not exactly the easiest tune on the album to play.
Damn right! A signature Purdie groove!
No one found the pocket and filled it better without overplaying
Pretty much was the pocket. Take the drums out of that song and it kind of Pfffft's out lol BP did his thing fo sho!
*Ringo Starr has entered the chat*
@@avidodd26 To take some notes, I hope
@@DrinkWater713 Wym? Like Purdie, Ringo owns real estate in the pocket.
@@DrinkWater713 more like making notes to give to you.
Rumour has it Bernard is still sat there playing the Purdie Shuffle.
and he's still saying boo gee tah tah boo doo tah

Gosh Walter I hate it that your gone. It's just not right. I will miss you
He aint gone ur watchin him right here
2:20 Caught by the beat
Haha noticed that as well. It is one hell of a beat after all :)
mr purdie you ever play with ERIC VAUGHN !
The groove overtook him LOL
Seeing Walter choke up is so endearing
Purdie will do that to you
Bernard Purdie combined with Steely Dan...almost TOO good!!
Unmatched feel and incredible technique. He’s tapping the ghost notes with his finger tips along with those rim shots
Bernard Purdie, Jeff Porcaro and John Bonham, all brothers from a different mother and my holy trinity of drum grooves.
RIP Jeff and John.
❤
An can listen to this all day all day... Bernard!!! Donald, Walter... love it!!!
I instantly feel better listening to steely Dan thank you so much.
Bernard demonstrating his shuffle-style - a mindblowing highlight
@@shamanbeartwo3819 Yeah, this "short" video is awesome. 😅👍🔥🙏
Who are the idiots that gave this a thumbs down?! Man, this is what music is all about. 50 years later and it’s still the standard!!!!

What's so super cool about Mr. Bernard Purdie is how he lent himself so accessible and available to so many different artists and groups back in the day ...
I didn't know he played with legends Steely Dan which is way cool but I'm not surprised ...

No need for it either. Becker and Fagen wanted him.
That Purdie is so talented and such a lovable guy
I have to go listen to 'Babylon Sisters' now ; )
Great to catch up to the history of Steely Dan
He talks about Rhythms like a veteran car salesman getting the song into the perfect car for the perfect price.
What a joy to see and hear that

what do you mean?

J Molz lol fancy seeing the guy I learned 1612 from in these here comments :)
home at last is one of my favourite steely dan songs thanks to this man, just so amazing
The groove that separates the men from the boys.
yep, saw bernard in a tiny basement in CT, he just explained his life story while playing it entirely to poly-rhythms...beautiful...
this video made my day!
Oh, my. So masterful!!
That drum part is just pure awesomeness, really grounds the song beautifully. Aja is an incredible album, it and Gaucho are some of the best-produced albums I've ever heard.
Aja may be the most complete album of all time. Every single song was a hit. Zeppelin IV is the only other one I can think of in that realm.
I spoke with Mr Purdie for about a half hour one evening in Manhattan. Very classy, humble man.
amazing man, talented, funny and so skillful.....what a legend
Love it, this is gold! 🥁🍾❤️
The great bands have a sound all their own. You might say a band sounds like Steely Dan, but it's rare that you say that Steely Dan sounds like some other band.

Legendary session drummer
Great groove and inspired two of the world’s greatest drummers to produce some of their best stuff, John Bonham and Jeff Porcaro.
Purdie is so awesome, I've been watching his videos for quite some time, love his attitude. That's real swagger.
That shuffle is like breathing for him
One of my favorite Steely tunes
I could listen to this man drum the phonebook. I know that don't no sense, but that's how damn talented that man.
What the heck are we doing obsessing over an album 46 years old...??? Because it incorporated so many intricacies and design that at first glance we never realized, that's why...
This is the feel that a drum machine or whatever these beat makers do today can never produce!! The Purdie Shuffle connects with people. A machine can't because it has no soul!!

It ain't bragging if you can do it

Use it if you feel better when you
Get back home.
*lose, not loose.
You done it!
Purdie laid down many great tracks but nothing beats the last couple of minutes of his rendition of Cold Sweat.
and at 80 yrs young this fella can still set the highest standards....
