I totally agree 100 %. My man on the drums is solid and in the groove. I really enjoyed those fills, and the hi hat pops were perfect. ❤ i love it. Those drag rolls on that lovely snare are sweet and clean. Great playing, awesome technique, and beautiful control. Thank you for my enjoyment. I've been drumming over 45 yrs, and i appreciate this kind of drumming and music. The bass player is excellent. I felt the rhythm in his playing, and i heard very, very nice stuff. Great blend with the drummer/ bass player. Thank you both. Peace and love.
I watch and listen to Dave’s drumming most nights. Without a doubt the best drummer I have heard. Man, you have just GOT it, beautiful feels, not a wasted note!
Fabulous performance by David Northrup and the entire band!!! I watched this three times in a row just to make sure this amazing groove seeped deep enough into my soul. It did.
I've heard this song nearly hundred times since I discovered the Bozz Scags live dvd version on YT 4 o 5 years ago. I've heard several live versions of Bozz since then. In The David Foster and Friend version the drummer is terrific too and I suspect that plays the GREAT Nathan East on bass. I think that everything is "in place" (besides the great musicians) because the arrengment are WRITTEN from the first take. By the way... Anyone knows if this drummer is the same drummer that plays in the Bozz dvd? Thank you.
Lovely. I am not a drummer but am loving these insights from the drummers perspective. Amazing how they keep the groove just bang on. AND then there is Bozzs falsetto and killer lyrics. Excellent stuff David.
64 yrs. old and been playing drums since I was 7. Playing less is always playing more, a drummer's job is to keep time, put fills where needed as well as put accents where needed they compliment the music,not compete other musicians during the song. Always keep it simple. This dude is doing just that and it's what good drummers do. Gotta love Boz's style, he puts out some smooth grooves.
Marvellous groove and pocket David. I'm sure you'll agree that this is another example of a terrific song made great by Jeff's drum part. He was able to do that on so many recordings.
This drummer is wonderful. Super tight groove, with slick drags and rolls on his awesome dounding snare drum. Just great playing from beginning to end. Perfect technique. I could watch him play all day.
Making the music feel good and other musicians calling you because you lay down a comfortable rhythmic blanket for them to lay on that's what keeps a drummer working.
Excellent hands and technique; love the movement and flow. He plays these as close to the studio versions as I have ever heard, Its just awesome. Well., thats a Pro. Great stuff. So relaxed and comfortable. Porcaro would be proud.. :)
Thank You, Thank You for you're very kind words! Porcaro was my hero and probably my biggest drumming influence. His parts were always so musically perfect I tried to emulate as close as possible on certain songs where it made sense. I felt like honoring those parts honored him and the music.... Again thanks for your kind words and for checking this out! ✌️❤️🥁
Fantastic. Being there live completes the full experience. Everyone held their own playing homage to Mr.Neil Peart. Every greatest artist in the world always takes a little something and adds it to their own. Imagine getting the call from Geddy Lee OC ( He has choose the 3 masters of entertainment for whatever reason Mr. Lee had. He evenly Respects the 3s Style.🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
@@DavidNorthrup I do not know the first thing about drumming but I do know Boz Skaggs music. You make him sound sooo good. Tell you the truth I'd rather watch your videos than listen to the originals. The test used to be was could you make the live performance sound as good as the record. Actually you make it the reverse.. you make the live performance sound better.
David i had never heard of you until i watched travis tritt and i researched your name then i saw you here with bozz! Totally impressed by your impeccable timing, and suttle attack, i have a new favorite drummer ☺ one question is that snare metal or wood it has a distinctive pop or it may be the guy hitting it!
Hi Tracy, thanks for your very kind words! That snare drum is actually a Gretsch 6.5x14 Bell Brass Snare Drum. One of my favorites these days and perfect for the Boz gig. Very versatile.
This folks is the best kind of drumming. No overplaying, no over accenting. I’ll take this guy every time. As a bass player, he makes my part easy.
Thanks!!
You sound great. I got no problem telling it.
I totally agree

Yeah, I am a drummer, and I can say it takes a lot of confidence to play this way (assuming one can actually play this silky smooth).
Yup
drummers note...no flash..solid timekeeper...smooth fills..in the pocket...David's a real pro..great post!!
Thanks for the kind words Terry. ✌️❤️🥁
David laying it down
@@DavidNorthrup Excellent man!! I didn't know you, but now I know!:) Thanks for your groove lesson!:)
@@ericberger9449 I appreciate your kind words! ✌️❤️🥁
Right on the money David!
I've been watching this video for months, I've seen it at least 50 times and I still enjoy it like the first time.
@@jhonpirzz8018 thank you! I appreciate your kind words.
You wont find any better hi hat work than this...pure class!
I like this drummer. Solid back beat. Serves the music. Makes it look easy. The mark of a great drummer.
I watch and listen to Dave’s drumming most nights. Without a doubt the best drummer I have heard. Man, you have just GOT it, beautiful feels, not a wasted note!

Fun gig! I've said it before, but great drumming David! You Porcarco, Gadd, Erskine, Lawson & Ferrone are among the best groovers around!
Fabulous performance by David Northrup and the entire band!!! I watched this three times in a row just to make sure this amazing groove seeped deep enough into my soul. It did.
You listen to good music the way I do brother- gotta get dat deep soul soakin'😅😅😅😅😅
Killer rhythm section, you’re great!
Watched this about 5 times. I dig the bare bones simplicity; everybody playing their part precisely without a lot of frills and extras.
Thanks, I appreciate your kind words!

That drummer....so sick, tight and non flashy... Jeff Porcaro's spirit was in this guy
@@ssgoifvet thank you for your incredibly kind words
Gives the term. Silk Degrees whole new meaning, the Boz just does not age, keep on jammin
Lovely.
I am not a drummer but am loving these insights from the drummers perspective. Amazing how they keep the groove just bang on. AND then there is Bozzs falsetto and killer lyrics. Excellent stuff David.
Boz is like close to seventy there- what-A- rocker!! I want the Dukes of september to come back. Now it'll be more like The Knights of November...

I adore drumming like this, tight , simple, extremely groovy ❤️
Great groove! Thanks for the drum lesson. Tight and right! Space is the place. When there's no hole ..... there's no soul!
Thanks Mark
Marvellous groove and pocket David. I'm sure you'll agree that this is another example of a terrific song made great by Jeff's drum part. He was able to do that on so many recordings.
That's EXCELLENT drumming! Sounds so frickin' good! Bravo!
Great drumming. It must be an honor to play for the iconic Boz Scaggs as well. Wow
Brilliant drumming again David 👍👌
Thank you Harold! 🥁❤️✌️
Got that old school cut put me back in the days- in the real life 🙏🏻
Unsung hero! That's really bad ass drumming! in an incredible elegant way!
I love the style of this drummer!
It's how I love to drum. Dave is a super pro.. one of the greatest!
This drummer is wonderful. Super tight groove, with slick drags and rolls on his awesome dounding snare drum.
Just great playing from beginning to end. Perfect technique. I could watch him play all day.
What a fantastic, well executed song.
David.
You keep better time than a Rolex!

One of my favourite songs by Boz, fabulous album
Baby now. Boz be sanging this song. !!! Da jam back in the day. White boy singin Black. Yesssssss!!!!
Solid playing, brother! Bass players dream!
Love your pocket, bro. You groove like my favourite cat, Jeff Porcaro. Much appreciated.
Thanks Daniel!
Beautiful, played with drum groove authority!
If only more drummers played so in the pocket and so essentially. You absolutely nailed the feel and technique.
It takes talent to keep it simple
that voice, still 💞
Class, pure and simply.
I think Jojo hangs out with Decon Blues and sometimes Josie at Rudy's.
Love this David...awesome playing! The mix and the sound of the drums are superb.
Making the music feel good and other musicians calling you because you lay down a comfortable rhythmic blanket for them to lay on that's what keeps a drummer working.
Dave. Dave right on time.......... Dave..

There's no other way... my friend. It is written on stone.

This song would be nothing without David's drumming. He makes this song.
I can't get enough of this groove. Pocket so deep you could park a Buick in it.
Groovin!!! I always dig the way you lay it down Mr Northrup!
Thanks for your kind words Nick!
You're welcome David.....it's just the TRUTH!

AWESOME KING DAVID!
WAY TO GO!
Boz had one of the smoothest sounds of the era. Man I miss those days.
I've just spotted the inimitable Mike Miller on guitar.
top hired gun.
Quality sounds. In the crease... Side pocket. ......k? K.....
Did you plug in a aux acble to your camera line in?
Let me share.
中澤修二 please share yes
David i had never heard of you until i watched travis tritt and i researched your name then i saw you here with bozz! Totally impressed by your impeccable timing, and suttle attack, i have a new favorite drummer ☺ one question is that snare metal or wood it has a distinctive pop or it may be the guy hitting it!
My band does lowdown and i just got schooled on correct way!! Thanks!
Hi Tracy, thanks for your very kind words! That snare drum is actually a Gretsch 6.5x14 Bell Brass Snare Drum. One of my favorites these days and perfect for the Boz gig. Very versatile.
David Northrup i am using a ludwig crome over brass 14 x 8 ! I really thought your snare was wood. Sounds like heads are fairly loose ?
Silly question: any seq back or click signal?
Julio DI CARLO not a silly question. From what I can remember on this track I did play to a click.
Just would’ve liked to have seen a close up of Boz a good perspective from the drummer side
À la cool quoi!
👍❤️🥁
His pocket is as deep as the Mariana trench.
David you sound like a big locomotive coming down the track’s...
Lousy camera work. Where is Boz?
This is David’s Drum Cam!
