The drummer is awesom....thats my bro TaRon Lockett. He played skins and percussion for Erykah Badu. I sang in a band he formed called Juke Joint Band, he is a beast!!!!
Can't really see how people can thumbs down a video of what looks like great musicians expressing themselves through there talent but anyway awesome video guys loved it!!!! 😊👍👍👍👍👍
I am a huge snarky puppy fan and always will be and they do some very amazing stuff musically.......but I have NEVER heard anything like this at all insane how does michael think of all this stuff. Also, mad respect to cory, michael and that drummer (put a whole new feel to the groove).
can you please explain what you mean by "word". Does it mean you were not expecting anything from this video however it got you pumped up the first second you listened to it ?
@StompL7, my interpretation of their usage of the word 'word': First instance: "Cool, can't wait to hear this rendition of Skate U!" (excited but calm & collected) Second instance: "OOOH THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING BOUT" (maximum excitement because their expectations were met/exceeded)
I think he was trying to pick up the tempo whilst clapping ahead of the beat at the begging of the tune. During Cory's solo he was signalling to the drummer to switch from playing Side Stick to Rimshot on the snare.
MarcClay, I LOVED how you explained that!! I hear that this beat all the time and know it when i hear but how u explained, was very enlightening!! TY!!
lol can you explain the 'the lick' is to me? I've seen it referenced a few times on music by Snarky Puppy, but I still don't really know what it means.
For those of you who don't quite get it. The drummer is bringing a combination of "go-go" music feel as well as a Neo-Soul element known as "slugging" the groove. It allows a slight offset of the drum beat and bass, which provides for a beat that feesl like it stumbles over itself. Drummers like Chris "Daddy" Dave (Robert Glasper Experiment) takes what he is doing to a whole new level by dropping beats especially on the kick to where it is NONSENSICALLY GENIUS!
I have to say......THAT IS FIRE!!!!!! I thought this version was better than the original actually. I love Sput on drums, but my friend TaRon Lockett murdered it!!!!!! His pocket was nice and clean, his out-of-the-box fills were executed to perfection. Very nice placement, but not too busy. The neo soul style isnt for everybody but I love the feel it gave the band as a whole.
Taron came in with that great drum groove in the beginning of the song but I love the fill @ 1:45! He broke away without "breaking away" in the song. Plus I love that disco-skating-ring-DC feel (hints the song title: Skate U.
4:49 i LOVE when Justin and Michael loose their shit when Cory plays a scale *completely* outside. Like how the fuck are we gonna get back on our feet ?
Nah man, I don't care what anyone says, even though I'm used to Lil John and Sput pocketing when they're playing for Snarky, I love Taron's playing on this! Skate U takes a whole different turn when it's played like this!
we don't give enough credit to Snarky's percussionist. He plays such huge part in the groove. very subtle shakers and groove
i mean he has a grammy (or is it 2?)... but yea he's amazing and such a good fit
When I saw them live, Michael League called him, “Snarky Puppy’s secret weapon”. Knows exactly how to accompany.
World class! Nate Werth is all time great.
He is amazing
Amen
I'm addicted to this performance. The groove at the beginning is absolutely ridiculous
It's not everyday you see young people this talented !!! I'm really feeling this ...
still can't get enough with this live performance
The drummer is awesom....thats my bro TaRon Lockett. He played skins and percussion for Erykah Badu. I sang in a band he formed called Juke Joint Band, he is a beast!!!!
Yep yep
Just finding out about him now on ‘24 through this vid. Yo he’s legit! Will check him out
that intro with the drums and bass......DAAAAMN!!!
I love the unselfish nature of this band they seem to enjoy each others soloing, lend an ear to Justin backing Cory's synth solo: amazing
Yessssss! JUSTIN ALL THE WAY!

Jayson Reed omg..me to..i was like..who the hell is that!!!
I ended meeting this cat in Columbus . He plays for Corey.
Oh wow.....that's what's up
Taroney. The man
That intro was nothing but pure GO-GO swing.
I just love, love, love that guitar solo to finish.
This is Skate U like I've never heard it before... It's incredible how these guys can make a whole new song out of an old one.
Had to come back…Still listening in 2024! ♥️🙌🏾💃🏾
Can't really see how people can thumbs down a video of what looks like great musicians expressing themselves through there talent but anyway awesome video guys loved it!!!! 😊👍👍👍👍👍
Every single player was amazing !!!!!!!
I once saw a man sleep an entire Perpetual Groove set away... he was sitting in the very front. Someone should give him an award for sleeping so good.
the first guitar melody bob plays at 0:20 is sooo delicious, i can´t even describe how beautifully it´s played
Ooh la la la. Chuck Brown and The Soul Searchers, Trouble Funk, E.U. and all of D.C., Maryland and Virginia are all proud of you for the go-go.
BOM DEMAAISS !! CORY HENRY SEMPRE ARREBENTANDO !!
Vrdd
The intro is unforgettable this song is a masterpiece
I am in love with this doggone song!

+Dallin Stagg He kills it.
George Lucas yeah
Morad NiMoutonNiDespote more than that.
Love this!!!! Such a tasteful navigation of grooves!!!! All Good!!!!
if it has the name snarky puppy in it it is automatically better than any other music you will ever hear today. these guys are the real fuckin deal
That is the sickest way of playing the tambourine. Genius!
I really enjoyed this track. I love the smooth groove under the whole track while all the the solos are going on.
Lanzetti is a phenomenal guitarist!
I never get tired of listening to this
In one word. Perfect. Can't wait to see them in April.
I am a huge snarky puppy fan and always will be and they do some very amazing stuff musically.......but I have NEVER heard anything like this at all insane how does michael think of all this stuff. Also, mad respect to cory, michael and that drummer (put a whole new feel to the groove).
Sick on a thousand different levels! Hats off........
Damn that boy Corey Henry is killin' this.
Me at the start: "Word, Skate U!"
Beat comes in: "OOOOOOOOOOHHHHH WOOOORRRDDDD"
Ryan Brown SAMEEEEE I feel this comment on a spiritual level
can you please explain what you mean by "word". Does it mean you were not expecting anything from this video however it got you pumped up the first second you listened to it ?

Did anyone else notice Michael signaling for the drummer to pick it up during Cory's solo? Perfect and subtle. Good leader.
1:10 as well
Sure did! He's the leader for sure.
league for president
I heard him either clapping too fast, or the band not picking up on his queue to increase the tempo.
I think he was trying to pick up the tempo whilst clapping ahead of the beat at the begging of the tune. During Cory's solo he was signalling to the drummer to switch from playing Side Stick to Rimshot on the snare.
That was so awesome. Watching all you skilled musicians play together made me so envious. How I wish I was that talented of a musician.
that guitar solo toward the end is so amazing!! i love these guys
VERY good band! Good to see new players at this level.
Yes! Coming to L.A. in April. Finally gonna get to see these cats.
Love what Mike does with the bass line at 9:06. Wonderful.
MarcClay, I LOVED how you explained that!! I hear that this beat all the time and know it when i hear but how u explained, was very enlightening!! TY!!
those beats destroy. Taron you are the man
Taron and Mike sounded amazing together!! What a pocket they created
Beautifully done... I love the slug on the rhythm...
OMG!!! Love this!!

Nah, in his planet, he just a noob
lol can you explain the 'the lick' is to me? I've seen it referenced a few times on music by Snarky Puppy, but I still don't really know what it means.

I feel jealous seeing the bunch of audience in every SP's video, ooh lord why does the good people have to watch it on internet.
They have fun. And yet when needed they can dish out musical perfection.
Can anyone stop watching this band....I'm hooked and need psychological counseling on how or what to do to stop being addicted....ANY HELP OUT THERE?
Once you're in, you're in.
There is no coming back man, sorry!
You don't need help. Stay addicted.
Gone 2 nutha Z.O.N.E.
there is no cure for a snarky junky
Snarky Puppy is the magic!
Man yaw crazy the drummer is mad sick his grove is so sweet.
This is amazing!!!!! Made my day!
Is their a project out on iTunes I can buy from yall? So good!
I have to say......THAT IS FIRE!!!!!! I thought this version was better than the original actually. I love Sput on drums, but my friend TaRon Lockett murdered it!!!!!! His pocket was nice and clean, his out-of-the-box fills were executed to perfection. Very nice placement, but not too busy.

This is some sick ass groovalicious stuff guys! Nice! Just never know what you'll stumble across when on youtube. Glad I found you guys!
Taron came in with that great drum groove in the beginning of the song but I love the fill @ 1:45! He broke away without "breaking away" in the song. Plus I love that disco-skating-ring-DC feel (hints the song title: Skate U.
I don't know man. I think just in love with this version. Good stuff on ALL instruments.
That drummer is amazing. Great band! Go Cory Henry!
Naaassssttttyyyy!!!
I need this live ent. here in LA.
I really like how Snarky Puppy's percussionists are so sporadic with their playing. I think I play too regimented... I gotta loosen up a bit
NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!
VERY NICE!
wow man! This guys are amazing!
They really do put the fun in the funk
They all groovin…☮🔥
Well done lads. Exciting. Great talents

The drummer is so deep in the pocket. Insane!!
Booked my ticket to see these guys in London in two weeks time...yea yea! Can't believe people clicking on dislike! Are you crazy ?
Lettieri's tone is incredible
Qualidade indiscutível. muito bom
@5:15 I got a headache from nodding my head so hard! That groove is money!!!!

The Lord's Prayer is required to work together
Nah man, I don't care what anyone says, even though I'm used to Lil John and Sput pocketing when they're playing for Snarky, I love Taron's playing on this! Skate U takes a whole different turn when it's played like this!
