LEGEND... saw you live three times at small venues and blown away each time. Then went to a dozen more PJ shows over my life and I MISSED YOU AT EVERY ONE. Just not the same without you
Hey. This (for me) is the ultimate Abbruzzese / Pearl Jam recording. th-cam.com/video/BzwIXm4Uycw/w-d-xo.html Sound board quality, amazing performance by the whole band the level they were at during this period… plus the songs man.
I saw PJ three nights back to back to back in New Orleans. They were all amazing shows and Dave was the star. Furthermore, I met the man and spent a little time with him. He was accommodating, kind, and gracious with his time, remarks, and comments with me. Thanks Dave, you're a true pro!!!!
Dave's attack is off the charts. His energy is unmatched. Pearl Jam was never the same afterwards in my opinion. They just didn't have that power they once had. His pocket, precision, originality and dynamics are at the very top of all rock drummers EVER. To this day I still use a lot of the cymbal work he did in these songs. He was a huge inspiration for me becoming a drummer. Thanks, Dave for the inspiration and all the great memories growing up... and to this day!
Ten was released in Aug of 1991. While Dave didn't record the album, he joined the band shortly after. When you watch any live performances from that time, it is Dave on the drums. I especially love this lo-fi local show in Seattle around that time (th-cam.com/video/b46zX4js0-c/w-d-xo.html) While I do respect Matt, to me, Dave will always be the drummer for PJ. Dave if you're out there, please know that many of us still appreciate you, respect you, and your drumming had an ENORMOUS impact on our playing!
One of my favourite stories about Dave was not long after he was let go from PJ; he and a few other drummers were on a radio show taking calls when none other than Neil Peart rings up and addresses Dave last by saying "Hey, Dave, so glad to hear you've gotten rid of your sidemen". Really made Abbruzzeze's day! All hail Dave Krusen, Matt Chamberlin, Dave Abbruzzeze, Jack Irons and Matt Cameron.
Fantastic drummer, great music! His performance during Even Flow is phenomenal. I especially love the parts of the chorus where he plays accents on the splash cymbal, sounds great.
Man.... I so love Pearl Jam live. The most astonishing thing about the drumming is the intensity and most of all how he is able to maintain it though out the whole performance. It feels hype and almost rushed but yet never get ahead of himself. Love it!
AiC will forever be my favorite grunge-era band. But Dave will forever be my favorite grunge-era drummer. He absolutely kills it opening Vs. with Go & Animal. I was praying you'd analyze a 1993 show when they play both back to back. But Even Flow is a nice example of Dave's prowess as well.
Dave Abbruzzese 🥁🔥💓 is an incredible drummer, I respect every Pearl Jam drummer. Dave has so much groove it's insane!! There's nothing like young Pearl Jam!! Thank you so very much for sharing this awesome video 😊💓🤘✌️
I agree. My fav compliment as a drummer is that, "You sound like Dave Abbruzesse." That said, I am enchanted by Sean Kinney's playing, eg., "No Excuses", and am striving to be that tasteful and colorful. Andrew should react to AIC!
Great memories of Pearl Jam Live in 1992, at the second Lollapalooza Tour Festival. Saw them up close in the mid-Summer sun. They kicked ass and the whole day Festival was FIRE!!!
Dave was so fucking tight and he had excellent fills, cymbal work and that foot, man It's a joy to listen to him play. Still love that tripplet he did in the unlugged version of Alive, so tasty.
@@AndrewRooneyDrums IMO, his energy was what made them stomp so damned hard. They were never as powerful after Dave. Matt's a fantastic drummer, but polar opposite of energy. Matt's a thundering groove player, Dave just slaps you around and you want more.
Saw Dave at a modern drummer drumfest in late 80s. Really liked his style. Well suited for Pearl Jam. He had such a positive attitude that day and was really enjoying himself. Played along to a number of Pearl Jam tracks
@@AndrewRooneyDrums those early MD drumfests were amazing .. saw Vinnie Colaiuta , Gadd , weckl, Bissonette, Chambers, Ginger Baker, Rod morgenstein , jack dejohnette, Joe morello, chad smith, Carl Palmer Matt Sorum Probably a dozen others I’m forgetting over about a 5 year period each spring
That was an amazing weekend! My first time speaking into a microphone! I remember that young fellow that I brought up on stage with me. I gave him my cymbals for helping me out with my nerves! 🤣
I saw Pearl Jam many times as they were one of my favorites! I was blessed and saw them in 1995 at summerfest in Milwaukee Wisconsin and sat on the stage and hung out with the band both nights and it was fucking incredible! What impresses me so much about Pearl Jam, still to this day, they sound just as good if not better live than their studio albums. There are not many bands that you can say and they put on a great show!
My grunge journey started with smashing pumpkins. Jimmy Chamberlin is a beast on the drums! 2 songs “United States” “Starz” killer drumming both songs from smashing pumpkins.! zeitgeist album
Adler had one of the best ride cymbal sounds ever recorded. Would love to know what he used back then. Seen various footage of him back then playing both Sabian and Zildjian
You know I'm with ya on Steven Adler! Not only a phenomenal drummer but a wonderful all around musician! Whether it was/is live or in-studio, his game is on point! 🤘🏼🥁🤘🏼
Awesome mix. I wish they mixed the fox theatre gig on the 3rd like they had it on the 2nd. They ruined the mix on the 3rd, and it gutts me because they laided down some great songs.
I too would love to know what it’s like playing in a with a drummer this powerful… like, as a guitar player, I can tell you the better the drummer the better you feel. You’d have to play SO f*cking loud to keep up with this kind of power, which would feel so sick. But yeah… this must feel like being strapped to the front of a rocket ship - in a good way. 🙌👏👏👏
Dubya requests Abbruzzese. That's a lot of cymbalism to unpack. Pearl Jam live: sounds great, more frenetic. Abbzz fits in swell! Another great reaction/analysis, love your passion and knowledge Roonzz!🤘👍👏
Hey Andrew been a subscriber for long time but honestly I have never requested a song. I know the order of patreons and PayPal’s but Lang Zhao’s song prophecy is magic. He just released a gorgeous play through with MEINL. Side note he is a student of Matt Garstka. I appreciate what your doing for drummers. Chow
Interesting you mention Matt Chamberlain; even hard-core Pearl Jam fans forget the Chamberlain era. However, without Matt Chamberlain, Dave Abbruzzese is never a member of the band. The two were old friends from the Deep Ellum music scene in Dallas and Abbruzzese was Chamberlain's recommendation to fill the Pearl Jam drum seat when the latter took the _SNL_ house band gig only weeks after he himself joined the band. It would've been fascinating to hear how the band evolved had Chamberlain stuck around, but there's no question that Abbruzzese's influence on the band's sound and direction were seminal. As for Chamberlain, I've always enjoyed his work with Critters Buggin. If you aren't already familiar, I suggest you check them out.
Dang, Pearl Jam is one of the best and real grunge bands, they are amazing and the sound is so raw, natural ufff love it!! By the way try checking George Kollias - Aeons of burning galaxies!!! You are gonna love it
Hey Andrew, would love to see you react to Metallica in their prime. I know it’s popular to bash Lars’ drumming but he was a pioneer of thrash metal drumming in the 80’s and did some phenomenal work. I highly recommend reacting to ‘Battery’ live ins Seattle 1989. It’s a face melter!
I'm in your boat in terms of being a Pearl Jam fan. Ten and Vitalogy are fantastic, and I'm sure there's more, but they were never the grungiest of the grunge era to me. Always preferred Soundgarden and AIC. But Dave's drumming, specifically his playing on the unplugged MTV show changed my view of Dave and Pearl Jam as a whole.
I don't pretend to be a drumming expert, but I'm a huge music and PJ fan and DA was by far the best drummer they had. Too bad EV and DA clashed politically. They haven't had the same groove since he has been gone. He just fit their style and provided a groove at the same time that no drummer since has come close to replicating. I appreciate that Matt Cameron allowed them to sustain a career that is still churning to this day, but I'm no fan of his drum sound or drumming in general. He just sounds so clinical to me, but no need to put someone down to say that DA was a great drummer and a tough act to follow.
Dave A rules! I loved the Ten album - I know he didn't play on it except the re recording of Even Flow. Really definitive of an era. I've heard PJ say they would have been fine without Dave in beginning but that's BS. He was in band for a reason! Drummers always get tossed under bus as replaceable. Dave had a great style. I live in North Texas and hope to have s chance to meet him. Seems like a great dude. ❤
Totally agree with you about Dave and Steven Adler. Appetite wouldn't have been the same without him. Pearl Jam messed up. Dave's drumming is just amazing. You can watch his videos and go- oh, did you see what he did there or there. On and on
If you're still looking for some heavy stuff, check out Anthony Barone's playthrough of Rise of the Fearmonger by Beneath the Massacre. The guy is an animal, I think you would enjoy his gravity blasts. Some of the best there is.
I was wishing the same. He would have fit right in. It would have been interesting to say the least.They would have had a huge PJ fan base jump on board
Sorry, don’t mean to be “one of those guys”. Chris Cornell was Soundgarden’s first drummer. I Enjoy your content. You turned me on to Yoyoka. Met Dave Abbruzzese once, super nice guy and obviously an amazing drummer.
I don't think anyone is gonna say Dave is/was not a great drummer. He's clearly talented and added a unique energy and dynamic to the band during his time with them. It's my understanding that his split from the band was strictly personality issue,..and specifically with Eddie. So, for all the Uber-fans that say "Dave was the best, he should still be in the band", etc. -- blame Eddie. I didn't really like PJ until Vs and Vitalogy. I was way more into AIC and Soundgarden at that time and love Matt Cameron's work. Fun to watch this live footage from '92 -- mega nostalgia overload. Thanks.
Dave Abruzzese was to PJ what Dave Grohl was to Nirvana. he was the embodiment of PJ's drumming, as good as Matt C is, he still too Soundgarden for them
Cool drumming, but the guitar solo in Even Flow was a bit Hendrix-esque to me. Pretty cool. Love Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. Nirvana is great but they thrill me a bit less than the other 2. As far as Seattle bands go.
Another suggestion for you. Christian Bass from Heaven Shall Burn and a song "Übermench" drum playthrough th-cam.com/video/MChq8VELgyk/w-d-xo.html And for some fast drumming you need to see Anthony Barone from Beneath The Massacre - "Rise Of The Fearmonger" drum playthrough th-cam.com/video/eDAZztJQyck/w-d-xo.html
always thought the same. Pearl jam did a huge mistake letting him leave. after he left, couldn't listen to the new albums.... surprisingly though, i didn't see abbruzzese plays in a new famous band, dono why
I always wonder why if Dave Abbruzzeze is so good (he is really good!) was not hired by any other major band after Pearl Jam? I prefer Matt Cameron, he is always at the service of any song and this is essencial for me to be a good drummer, besides the technicallities involved in the mastery of the instrument. A band is not a drumm solo. Thank you, Andrew, I enjoy your channel a lot!
I felt like I was serving the songs in my compositions and arrangements. Live, it was about the excitement of the live experience! I completely agree that a band is not a drum solo. I wish the all the best in your musical journey!
Marcela. I did continue to stay musical. I had a big bad dose of soul poisoning by the way the situation with Pearl Jam was handled. I felt like I couldn't trust the industry as a whole. I did work with G & R but that served to only inforce my distrust in the machine. I worked with Roger Hodgson of Supertramp and have continued to work with many successful players that put the music before the machine. I enjoyed making quite a few records with my friends and alot of ghost sessions as well. I had to find the music again. 💓
Maybe he was and Declined. He controls he own destiny. He let his drumming do the talking on stage. A very Quiet, Private and Humble groove Monster he is. You never see him whining, bad mouthing anyone. Respect Dave.😁👊🥁🥁🥁🥁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🎵🎶🎵🎵
I always felt Dave added to ten's songs. I find Matt plays them too fast. And i dont enjoy Matts versions of Jacks Songs aswell. I had to laugh at the concerts Dave Krusen filled in for Matt Cameron. He played the Ten Songs at the right pace and Eddie struggled because he was so use to the sped up Matt versions.😂😂😂 we all have different tastes. But i see 99% of people who see Dave Abbruzzese contributions in his time with Pearl Jam. See them as magical as they truly are.😝🤘🎵🎶🎵🎵🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
My favorite Drummers from that time in order is David Abbruzzese, Jimmy Chamberlin and Sean Kinney, I love all the music Matt Cameron did with Soundgarden, but did not like the really water-downed versions of the songs from PJ 1st 3 albums...and ever worse the change of Even Flows tempo.
they were so good here by the time i saw them doing a no code tour they looked so bored and lethargic. stood there like statues like theyd rather be somewhere else we were so pissed off as young fans weve never forgiven them . Their first two albums is it and a few songs from vitalogy.
Thank you. David Abbruzzese here.
Really? If so, thank you! You have had an enormous impact on me and my drumming!
I've already talked too much during the vid.
Thank you for the inspiration David.
Hello Dave Abbruzzese 🥁🔥💓🤘😊✌️

Then went to a dozen more PJ shows over my life and I MISSED YOU AT EVERY ONE.

Wow, Marc! Thank you, man. I hope you're still rocking!
Man! When Dave works the splashes it's fucking magic.
AGREE
Dave's drumming is powerful and eccentric .. Respect
Saw Pearl Jam live in 94. I was 16. One of the best live shows I've ever seen. Their sound was near identical to the album.
One of my favourite stories about Dave was not long after he was let go from PJ; he and a few other drummers were on a radio show taking calls when none other than Neil Peart rings up and addresses Dave last by saying "Hey, Dave, so glad to hear you've gotten rid of your sidemen". Really made Abbruzzeze's day! All hail Dave Krusen, Matt Chamberlin, Dave Abbruzzeze, Jack Irons and Matt Cameron.
It was State Of Love And Trust that brought me to Pearl Jam and Dave was a big part of that song's sound.
100%
Thanks for pointing that out! I have always thought Dave Krusen played on the two songs from the Singles soundtrack.
Fantastic drummer, great music! His performance during Even Flow is phenomenal. I especially love the parts of the chorus where he plays accents on the splash cymbal, sounds great.
Man.... I so love Pearl Jam live. The most astonishing thing about the drumming is the intensity and most of all how he is able to maintain it though out the whole performance. It feels hype and almost rushed but yet never get ahead of himself. Love it!

Thanks , Abruzzese is a living God of drumming , we all should remeber what he did for Pearl Jam , goosebump every time i see Dave live.
This is just magic , thank you
My grunge journey started with smashing pumpkins. Jimmy Chamberlin is a beast on the drums!
2 songs
“United States”
“Starz”
killer drumming both songs from smashing pumpkins.!
zeitgeist album
Agreed another drum Monster. I love Jimmy's rim shots
Agree 100% Dave inspired us all and Adler was spot on with his sound and timing
Adler had one of the best ride cymbal sounds ever recorded. Would love to know what he used back then. Seen various footage of him back then playing both Sabian and Zildjian

Such a slammin' drummer Jangles
Never got to see pearl jam live 😢 where has the time gone ❤
Dave was the man!!
I kept feeling your blinds behind the screen needed to be lifted so I could see Dave better🤣
Live at the Orpheum is my favorite David A recording.

Another thing he seems to love doing is use the hi-hats as a surface to ghost on, instead of his snare when he's using the ride cymbal.
Wow that snare had some crack! This album was brilliant.

EXCELLENT. I was at this show. 😎
I'm very pleased that you chose the correct PJ era for a drum reaction.
Dave is such a fucking badass!
Yup!
Just came here to say Dave is a fucking beast. Best drummer of the 90´s
Yeah he’s the guy!

Which grunge bands were not real in your opinion?
I'm such a massive pearl jam fan...
EXCELLENT
That was my favorite time period for Pearl Jam.
I remember seeing Primus & Fishbone at the Cameo , I think that year
MTV, David was magic !!!
Really...how could they let such a top groove controller go
Hey Andrew, would love to see you react to Metallica in their prime. I know it’s popular to bash Lars’ drumming but he was a pioneer of thrash metal drumming in the 80’s and did some phenomenal work. I highly recommend reacting to ‘Battery’ live ins Seattle 1989. It’s a face melter!

Dave is a monster on the kit,!
Watching Dave A. play them drums is mezmerixing indeed. Like a beautiful and seductive dance :D
I don't pretend to be a drumming expert, but I'm a huge music and PJ fan and DA was by far the best drummer they had. Too bad EV and DA clashed politically.

He just sounds so clinical to me, but no need to put someone down to say that DA was a great drummer and a tough act to follow.
I have that shirt. It’s my favorite
HAHA! Yup love it
Dave A rules! I loved the Ten album - I know he didn't play on it except the re recording of Even Flow. Really definitive of an era. I've heard PJ say they would have been fine without Dave in beginning but that's BS. He was in band for a reason! Drummers always get tossed under bus as replaceable. Dave had a great style. I live in North Texas and hope to have s chance to meet him. Seems like a great dude. ❤
I don't know why State Of Love And Trust was never on an album, It's highly underrated & one of their greatest songs! 🔥🔥
Totally agree with you about Dave and Steven Adler. Appetite wouldn't have been the same without him. Pearl Jam messed up. Dave's drumming is just amazing. You can watch his videos and go- oh, did you see what he did there or there. On and on

Dave fit the win!
How would Dave have fitted with Foo fighters I wonder. Cos that was my hope. No offence Josh, also awesomeness.
I was wishing the same. He would have fit right in. It would have been interesting to say the least.They would have had a huge PJ fan base jump on board
Please watch him recording Power Man. Absolutely amazing session👌

Hey Andrew! When are you gonna react to Styx's. "Todd Schuerman." There's tons of live video performances of him.
Sorry, don’t mean to be “one of those guys”. Chris Cornell was Soundgarden’s first drummer.
I Enjoy your content. You turned me on to Yoyoka. Met Dave Abbruzzese once, super nice guy and obviously an amazing drummer.
I miss what Dave brought to Pearl Jam!
I don't think anyone is gonna say Dave is/was not a great drummer. He's clearly talented and added a unique energy and dynamic to the band during his time with them.

Dave or Jack ...I can't Choose....but they both made it great
Nah fuck it...its Dave
All the PJ drummers were great. Dave is pure 🔥
Dave Abruzzese was to PJ what Dave Grohl was to Nirvana. he was the embodiment of PJ's drumming, as good as Matt C is, he still too Soundgarden for them
Agree with you on Steven Adler, the Pearl Jam stuff is OK though (LOL)
Cool drumming, but the guitar solo in Even Flow was a bit Hendrix-esque to me. Pretty cool. Love Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. Nirvana is great but they thrill me a bit less than the other 2. As far as Seattle bands go.
Check out Dave's overview of Porch
th-cam.com/video/jPGiwRfGGkU/w-d-xo.html
Thank you!
Dave was simply the best. So disappointed when he left PJ.
Eddie by kicking out Dave from the band changed PJ to Eddie Vedder band... Too much power to handle!
Pearl jam were Pearl Jam only the 3 first albums!
Another suggestion for you. Christian Bass from Heaven Shall Burn and a song "Übermench" drum playthrough

Such a lame move to not induct David Abbruzzese, Jack Irons, and Matt Chamberlin into the RnR Hall of Fame :(
Agreed. Jack got the vox job with pearl jam. They all contributed so much. Especially live.
4 feet lol
Ive allways called him a cymbalist...
My favorite Drummers from that time in order is David Abbruzzese, Jimmy Chamberlin and Sean Kinney, I love all the music Matt Cameron did with Soundgarden, but did not like the really water-downed versions of the songs from PJ 1st 3 albums...and ever worse the change of Even Flows tempo.
I love all 3 of those drummers
This is on the TEN album and is a cult edition of an album. This is an album that can defeat timetravel. I'm so lost in this album. In a good way.
Can you imagine: "Dave's gotta go, all drummers are the same... right?"
Def not!!
This is heroin on the screen. Addictive as hell.
Pearl Jam lost their sound by releasing Dave away from the band. Huge mistake.
Eddie screwed him at the hall of "fame". He was their best drummer and played on their best records. They have been boring ever since he left.
It's an Italian surname. Not "Abrusisi" like you say, ABRUZZESE.
One way to describe his firing...selfish.
I much prefer Dave A over ALL OTHER PJ DRUMMERS (I've seen them all live)
Dave is a monster!
they were so good here by the time i saw them doing a no code tour they looked so bored and lethargic. stood there like statues like theyd rather be somewhere else we were so pissed off as young fans weve never forgiven them . Their first two albums is it and a few songs from vitalogy.
