I've been flicking through videos of many drummers playing dance and r&b music. They often overplay or simply lose the groove. I'd rather watch you play locked into the groove. Over and over.
I was thinking about the Queen of Soul, and had watch and listen to Rock Steady. Here I am watching you now. I can tell you feel this in your heart and soul! Love It!!
What an incredible groove Mr. Purdie displays in this masterpiece, and the last bar of the middle break…perfection!!! I remember hearing this song decades ago, I loved it immediately. And then I heard THE FILL - it absolutely floored me! Great job covering and kudos to you for exposing young drummers to gems like this!
This guy here is great I am musician my self I love a good pocket player that can solo when nessary they are hard to beat 1000000000 percent from me you got it
Your simply amazing, love how you play and love the sound of your drum kit. The recording is good but would really love to hear you record it with just a pair of spaced omni's giving a realistic and natural soundstage. WIth some great mics, like a matched pair of Nueman m149's on 1/4 inch analog tape lol. Of course assuming the room has good acoustics.
All groove! Great stuff. I usually play guitar but I sat in with these musician friends of mine many years ago. I can play some grooves just fine. Others not...like this one. I bricked it pretty bad. I will keep watching this. I sold my vintage black Ludwigs but I can get some buckets! LOL
I'm very familiar with this track. Your groove was rock solid & clean. I can learn a lot from your video especially the break. Thank you for laying out there for the rest of us to follow.
@@KaitsuDrums people think it’s easy to keep rhythm, without the need to fill. I’m like that. If I’m playing for me then it doesn’t matter. Look forward to seeing more…
Thanks Kenan! Actually the snare on this video is out of phase and don't sound as good as it should....Learning to mix by making mistakes :) Those hi-hats are 15" Zildjian K Lights.
Sweet! 👍🥁🎼🎶

very smooth, brother. and i appreciate you playing the hat pattern with one hand-- i see guys using both and it breaks my heart. well done.
Thanks very much!
Holy crap that was awesome! I've loved this drum part since I was a kid.. Bernard Purdie a legend, you did him justice.
Awesome cover of a classic. At 1st I was like I'll watch a min or 2, next thing it was the end and had to watch again.
Thanks Victor!
well done!!!
WOW, JUST FUCKIN WOW!!! FINALLY.. a great drummer who played the RIGHT groove!!! EXCELLENT job, I just found a new idol!

Thanks D- Mack-GA!! Purdie's original version is such a classic, I hope my version inspires younger drummers to find out more about Purdie.
HELL YES SOUNDS GOOD
That is possibly the most fitting modern example I've seen so far! Thank you for uploading this! 👍👍
Clean
First snare hit and a knew it will be tight!
NICE!!!

@@KaitsuDrums yupp I grew up on these songs and I can tell when someone is "playing at the song" , or actually playing the song
