This man is just unbelievable. Not only is he among the most versatile drummers ever, but he is also a human rhythmic encyclopedia, and in every single note, pattern, groove or fill played we can appreciate all his love for the instrument, immense technical background and curiosity and enthusiasm for everything he plays. A true legend and an example for every musician in the world.
how do i practice my kick im thinkin the height of the chair affects my kicks makes me exhausted i need some advice how do i nake a good kick without excerting too much..
speaking of voices, he's doing Winnie the Pooh V.O. work; also - he's like the other Dom Famularo - an excellent ambassador for the drumming community.
Gregg Bissonette... He is 'everyman's" drummer.. Amazing understated chops.. completely unpretentious and positive. I think he is my fave musician in general
I said this in another post to another Gregg lesson with Dave Atkinson. This echoes the other Comments here. You don't see so much such an outstanding player and teacher who also seems like such a great person. Funny, smart, talented and enough energy for four people.
Love Gregg' s playing. Switched onto him after hearing him on one of the original Buddy Rich video tapes. One of the most musical yet underrated drummers of all time! Great job Drumeo, captured Gregg's abilities of a player very well!!!
Hard to say, if underrated. I know him since 20 years. His versatility and musicality hooked from the first moment on, too. And his fluency is on a level with Dave Weckl.
Great seeing Gregg as enthusiastic and amazing as ever! First heard him on Maynard Ferguson "Live in San Fransisco" in 1983, then live with David Lee Roth in 88. One of the true greats of our time.
Love the lesson. Amazing to here how in love he is with drums/music after so many years, while uplifting those before him and his peers alike. Truly one of the greats that has influenced players and will continue to. True example of humbleness.
It's amazing what this man can do with his minimal kit! Definitely drives home the fact that we don't need trinkets and decorated kits to be able to play well. Huge respect for this man!🙏
Absolutely solid! The world needs way more of this kind of positive energy. Seriously making me want to play drums again. Now if I can just find a place to put a kit...
I hear you...hey, consider an electronic kit! They are amazing sounding and easy to set up or move around and great feel for great practicing. Plus, direct plugin to your DAW for recording
@@johnrogers9481 Yeah, I've thought about that from time to time but playing "real" drums for so many years in gigging bands makes it just not the same. I will agree that they can fun though regardless.
I met Gregg at Beatles on the Beach (Delray FL) this past weekend. Amazing drummer and totally friendly and genuine in person. Great stories and drumming insights too. Motivated me to get behind the kit after a hiatus (random life stuff). He makes drumming look smooth, easy, and fun, amazing repertoire of styles. Thanks Gregg!
I love love love this guy!! That passion and energy could power up a whole continent. What a great human being. This was a much needed push since I've been slacking off lately and now I can happily start practicing again. Thank you Drumeo!!
The mentor of one of my favorite drummers. It's great to see him on Drumeo; phenomenal instructor and beautiful playing. Thanks for the great content as always, Drumeo!
I've been a GB fan since I first heard Eat Em & Smile. Back then there was no TH-cam, so all I could do was try to listen to albums he played on and read articles about him. Fast-forward these many years and we're all able to dial up any and all things Gregg Bissonette anytime anywhere. He's so fun to watch and can play any style. No one ever mentions that he can sing, but he can do that, too--as evidenced by the intro track on this video!
I remember watching Gregg Bissonette on VHS for the first time in a Russian jazz school back in 1998. He has always been a true pro and still is my favorite videoschool guy amongst others of that time like Dave Weckl, Dennis Chambers, Omar Hakim etc. It was so cool to see a guy with such versatile way of playing, like some cool punk hippie guy with crazy drum abilities in almost every genre. Thank you, Gregg, you are a great teacher and person!
Waaaay back in HS marching band, we performed Coconut Champagne as a drum solo, I played marimba. This song was my first intro to Gregg. Fan ever since.
Gregg is the best. Sincerely. Got it all, inside and out. My biggest inspiration for twenty years. Who doesn’t want to get better when they listen to him?
I went to a Gregg Bissonette drum clinic as a 12 year old boy in the 90s in Arlington Heights Illinois. Inspiring, humble, and contagious energy. Kicked off the next 30 years of drumming for me.
Gregg inspires me for so many years and he is still one of the best drummers in the world. My absolute favourite top-drummer. It's always a blast to see and hear him. So keep on groovin', Gregg!
Nice to hear him shout out Tomas Haake. That man is a machine and what he does in Meshuggah is legendary. Not many drummers revolutionize a genre like that.
From buenos aires Argentina. I'm a guitar player but start to learn and love drum years ago when discovered Gregg playing the extremist for joe satriani.
Greg's a great Drummer and I love that song He played at the beginning. When David Lee Roth put his band together and had Greg as his drummer he didn't take a step back at all from having Alex before
When Greg says you have to like the drumming of every style, he is spot-on. I like everything from prog to metal to punk to funk to disco to latin to jazz.
OK. Ready for part 2! I saw Greg at a clinic about 20 years ago. An example he gave with playing to different styles was simply playing along to songs on the radio and start switching stations and play to whatever comes up. But you have to love all music.
NEVER EVER forget your quad expresso!!! best reason for watching this lesson - Does humor belong in teaching = 100% , it motivates to learn anything, anywhere, from anyone !
Gregg & Kenny Aronoff are 2 of the best teaching drummers in MHO!!!! They both have a great mindset that I love.....I'll never be as great as a want to be, but I'm willing to spend the rest of my life trying to be as great as I can be!!!!! Great words to live and drum by!!!!!
Great player. Really knowledgeable, great attitude. Ive been studying Cuban music for years and he knows his stuff. Changuito a true master. Best Drumeo lesson.
I give the odd ‘clinic’ (more focus on the gear, than me) but one thing I tell younger drummers is to learn at least one type of groove from all the major music groups: rock, jazz, country, funk, reggae and blues. If you have at least one of each, then you can make your way through most situations. I compare grooves to tools-and as a ‘worker’ if you’re being called to a job, make sure you have at the least the right basic tools to do it right. Same basic premise as what Gregg is saying about variety. Very cool!
...........and this is why this man has been on the top musicians of all times call list. The list of who he hasnt played with would be easier to state than who he has. Absolute legend. Some of my favorite albums of all time have his name in the album liner notes. Hope he keeps going for a long time.
Gregg is such an interesting, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and entertaining drummer! This the first time I have seen him, I will certainly be following him from now on.
Love Greg Bissonete man. Often times his rudiment choices along with Gavin Harrison’s seem similar to me when it comes to fills...Especially the flam combinations. Now I know it is because of Tony Williams. Kurt Covington btw is a monster. If you haven’t heard Tribal Tech...Strongly suggest you do.
What a drummer and a human being!!!! I DO NOT play drums, I play the guitar - but who cares. Listening and watching him gives me inspiration for years to come. And guys, fellow guitarists - remember - there is no good band without a solid rhythm section, some may even say your band is as good as your drummer is.
Yes right. For example listen to Randy Rhoads with Quiet Riot then with Ozzy Osbourne with Daisley and Kerslake on the rhythm section. The difference is blasting. Randy is a guitar god period. But with a solid rythm section he really could express himself

What a great, positive guy, and a fine drummer. This is what life is about: have fun, do cool things, make people happy.
Man...whatta beautifull words 👍
This is one of the best drum lesson I’ve ever seen. He’s spot on.
Absolutely the best lesson! Thank you !
how do i practice my kick im thinkin the height of the chair affects my kicks makes me exhausted i need some advice how do i nake a good kick without excerting too much..
What do you expect? He is Greg Bissonett.
Alll genere my good
Yes sir indeed
One of the top guest appearances on Drumeo!!
Almost shed a tear, love this man, his attitude in life and drums is so inspiring. Never stop drumming.
Master classmen.He is one of the most solid all around guys out there .He has the voice of a wrestler .
@@markdemell3717 Voice of a wrestler. 👌🏼🤣
@@saintjabroni He does a little ,not exactly Macho Man Savage though.OOh yeeeaah.
he never stops talking.
speaking of voices, he's doing Winnie the Pooh V.O. work; also - he's like the other Dom Famularo - an excellent ambassador for the drumming community.
Outstanding! Bissonette is so fluid, versatile and just plain fun to listen to. I bet Ringo learns as much from him as he does from Ringo. Bravo!
for sure. Jeff porcaro is one of my favorites wish he was still around
Gregg Bissonette... He is 'everyman's" drummer.. Amazing understated chops.. completely unpretentious and positive. I think he is my fave musician in general

I play guitar and I love this. Such a musical lesson to understand where these styles and rhythms come from. Every player should watch this.
Epic lesson. Himself and Roth chatting after 24 'espressos' back in the day must have been amazing.
Ever since Roths solo album when I learned his double-bass shuffle, I have been a Greg Bissonette devoted listener! He's the real deal!
One of the most versatile Drummers, I adore this man, and his super feeling.
One of my absolute favorit drummers. Honest, humble, pro, earthy, and a great teacher! Btw: that kit looks amazing
Love Gregg' s playing. Switched onto him after hearing him on one of the original Buddy Rich video tapes. One of the most musical yet underrated drummers of all time! Great job Drumeo, captured Gregg's abilities of a player very well!!!

Gregg looks great and sounds sharp as ever. He's one of those who can play with energy and excitement and match that with talent and innovation.
I`ve been following Mr. Gregg since the early 90's. Love this guy.
He’s so knowledgeable about sooo many genres of music......and he’s an expert in each one. One of my favorite drummers and he’s such a nice guy.
I had the opportunity to see him live. Its impressive how even the most simple stuff sounds so good.
He was the second drum clinic I attended as a kid, great memories
Great seeing Gregg as enthusiastic and amazing as ever! First heard him on Maynard Ferguson "Live in San Fransisco" in 1983, then live with David Lee Roth in 88. One of the true greats of our time.
One of the true greats together with you!

This is real musicality, superb musicianship; he has a pure love for music. Big thanks from Germany to Drumeo for creating this kind of content!
It's always a pleasure to watch Gregg's lessons. I love his passion for drumming.

This is more of a life lesson than a drum lesson. He has one of the best attitudes I have ever seen.
I saw him at a drum clinic in montreal ,back in the day he was with mapex drum . What a great evening!
Such a clean sound and so much feeling! Just great overall drummer.
I love love love this guy!! That passion and energy could power up a whole continent. What a great human being. This was a much needed push since I've been slacking off lately and now I can happily start practicing again. Thank you Drumeo!!
Love it! Gregg is a one of a kind player with tons of knowledge. Thanks Drumeo 🙌🏼
I really hope GRegg will come in Italy again and maybe bring his drumcamp. Love him!!! GREAT DRUMMER!!
I love this man and his shoes. I had an old instructional tape of him playing with the same all stars. I watched it 100 times
4:17 a little refference to Come Togheter. What a beast Gregg is and such a positive person to. One of the top 10 lessons on Drumeo, really great!
Except the Blushda.
The mentor of one of my favorite drummers. It's great to see him on Drumeo; phenomenal instructor and beautiful playing. Thanks for the great content as always, Drumeo!
Please. Musical Drumming In Different Styles - Gregg Bissonette Part 2!
Thanks Jared and Gregg. The best drum lesson / interview I've ever seen.
Best lesson on Drumeo ! Love the Master Bissonette!!!! The way he loves music and all kinds of music is really inspiring me...thanks.

Thank You DRUMEO! He’s one of the BEST Drummer that I admire 🙏🏻🙏🏻
He's a runaway train, but my god the GROOVE is so amazing. What an awesome and truly versatile player. Totally blown away, Great energy.
The best! He can play any kind of music; make it his own. Always a perfectionist! Love this guy1!
Unbelievable musician!
He gives music a flow and helps it tell it's story...A True Artist 👍
One of my good friends! He had me come up and play Coconut Champagne at HIS clinic on THOSE drums! What a dude!
Waaaay back in HS marching band, we performed Coconut Champagne as a drum solo, I played marimba. This song was my first intro to Gregg. Fan ever since.
Gregg is the best. Sincerely. Got it all, inside and out. My biggest inspiration for twenty years. Who doesn’t want to get better when they listen to him?
That opening tune, Damn! Unlike some math prog display, this is something I could listen to over and over.
I love this guy. You can recognize him inmediatly because he has an unique touch. Congrats to Drumeo by this great stuff.
Gregg seems like a cool guy to talk to about music because of how excited he gets about it. A truly drum geek if you ask me
I went to a Gregg Bissonette drum clinic as a 12 year old boy in the 90s in Arlington Heights Illinois. Inspiring, humble, and contagious energy. Kicked off the next 30 years of drumming for me.
I always find that Gregg is such a great Educator! IJust love listening to him tirelessly!☺
♫♪♪♫♥
Gregg is a legend and for good reason! What an amazing lesson.
One of my favorite drummers and humans!!!
Gregg is incredible, both playing and attitude, and has always been this way. I especially loved the "Pools" reference.
Gregg inspires me for so many years and he is still one of the best drummers in the world. My absolute favourite top-drummer. It's always a blast to see and hear him. So keep on groovin', Gregg!
Loved the "After All" tune!!
Bissonette is a great ambassador for the drums.
The Tony Williams story: 29:08 start
Gregg: How did you get that lick together in a week so fast?
Tony: I practice a lot.
(Me: In tears.)
Love listening to Gregg play and speak about drums/music. And always, great drum tone, and LOVE the cymbal sound!
definitely one of the best drummers who have come to this land, super educated and with an affable personality........
I’ve seen him for years in music videos and never took a bit of notice of what an amazing drummer he is, fantastic teacher too love this lesson!
Don't know what I love more about Gregg B.
His drumming or his humor !
Big fan !
Nice to hear him shout out Tomas Haake. That man is a machine and what he does in Meshuggah is legendary. Not many drummers revolutionize a genre like that.
MarKåre Tomas is a friend of mine. Sent the clip to him 😃
one of the most inspiring lessons I've seen in my life !!! wowwwwww. Thanks Drumeo!
WOW!!! Just WOW! Loved the lesson... man, this guy is amazing, his drumming and beyond!
From buenos aires Argentina. I'm a guitar player but start to learn and love drum years ago when discovered Gregg playing the extremist for joe satriani.
I still think he is underrated compared to any other great online.
Greg's a great Drummer and I love that song He played at the beginning. When David Lee Roth put his band together and had Greg as his drummer he didn't take a step back at all from having Alex before
Wow! Thanks Gregg. So many licks in there to sample from. Liked your vocals as well. Two thumbs up.
Amazing ! so versatile, I much appreciate your humility regarding your great performance "around the groove" !!!
The best vid/lesson of drumeo! Hands up 👐
Gregg is a full knowledge drummer. He always learn and study and this learning dicpline made him as a great session player
Amazing drummer and a nice chap too! Great stuff!
Love the sound of the ride and cymbals! Do you happen to know what ride it is and sizes the cymbals are?
Gregg's Drumming personifies the type of Drummer I'd like to be!! Dynamics, Musicallity, Style, Passion! 🙌🙌
What an amazing lesson. I love his tunes. Buying the CD now.
Greg was the first drum clinic I ever went to. He has a captivating approach to learning about the drum kit. Thank you Jared and drumeo for sharing!
When Greg says you have to like the drumming of every style, he is spot-on. I like everything from prog to metal to punk to funk to disco to latin to jazz.
Greg is one of my favorite drummers. What a wonderful character and beautiful player.

What a riot! Really easy to see why he was/is such and in demand player. Top top level with a fantastic sense of humor to boot. Incredible.
What a beast!! And an amazing human being.
As all the others have said, easily one of, if not the best lesson on Drumeo. Gregg is such a great teacher, incredible drummer and lovely guy!
He's in the good as it gets club! Such great time and feel.
Thanks Gregg and Drumeo...Great Lesson
Had his private lesson video tape growing up.. Got to meet Gregg at NAMM 03. Super cool guy. Very friendly and a beast on the kit.

I'm a professor of education and this is what REAL teaching is about
Gregg! One of the most versatile drummer.
