It is not a samba. He's amazing. He does things I never imagine myself doing. But this "one man marching band" concept would be in service of some research of how samba really sounds... or of what samba is about.
I have NEVER enjoyed his drumming. People always go on and on about how compex it is, but music should be enjoyable to the ears FIRST. Why try to do complex things if there is no natural flow or feel to it?. Thats just my opinion. Lots of people do not like Bozzio and that is why. A computer could play the most complex music and sounds, BUT does that mean it is GOOD? I appreciate ALL musicians and styles. Terry Bozzio is the only one I speak negativley about. No "natural" flow.
@jordanjcm I've never heard of this guy, but it's more than obvious that you just don't appreciate what he is doing. You talk about natural flow as if your definition of it is absolute. Do you think he plays thinking "ok i'm going to play this unnaturally to alienate my listeners"? No you dingbat. Grow up and enjoy things you do, and things you don't at least tolerate with a modest sense of condescension you seem to spew.

I never threatened or derided your comment or your right to free speech, so I don't know why you got so defensive about that.

@scalassaraprando Well while the teachers are on strike I well help you out kid. If you have trouble with big words and ideas like "natural", just look up those complex words in the dictionary and go from there. If not then try to stay away from things that you do not understand or find difficult. Once the teachers are back you can ask them for assistance with words you find to complex to comprehend.
This is one solo that should inspire creativity in those who recognize genius and anyone w/the audacity to undermine and belittle the accomplishments of Mr. Bozzio should be ashamed of themselves and stop pretending to be experts on musical performance.Terry Bozzio is also humble and a very intelligient person which makes for a great musician/performer.
@jarbusrambus120 You might consider looking at his work with Frank Zappa. And he was never IN korn, he just played on the album and did some writing for they stiffed him.
@kimmin1208 Okay to get technical, that's true. But there's a difference between being a drummer and being a percussionist. Obviously a percussionist specializes in instruments like djembe, congas, cajon, cowbells, and the other 10,000,000 percussion instruments there are. A drummer plays drums and cymbals. Hope my point's been proven.
Thats insane !! Timing is unreal... I almost jumped when he finally hit a cymbal at the end.. was he chewing gum during this ? Not human.. must be Reptilian .. just kiddin.. but Frank..hmm?
HAHAHAHAHAHA, Wayneman! Unless that guy you used to go to church with has a surname like Colaiuta or Weckl, man, you'd better visit your psychiatrist.
Wayneman117: First off, this is not really about chops; it's about musicality and composition. And, frankly, I doubt that the guy you went to church with could be better than Terry - in any way - much less "blow" him away. What's his name, and what's he done? A world-class player that we don't know about? Please, enlighten us.
@Wayneman117 HAHAHAHAHAHA, Wayneman! Unless that guy you used to go to church with has a surname like Colaiuta or Weckl, man, you'd better seek professional help...
at first i didnt understand what it was that terry does in these ostinatos but after watching his master classes on drum channel i realise how amazing and technical what he does is . leading with one hand while playing different permutations
I have watched a lot of Terry's videos, and from 2:40 on here is among the most fantastic, this is very unreal, and honestly is among the most impressive solo musical pieces i have seen on any instrarments.
For fuck sakes... Ostinato combo of 2 feet and 1 hand. So what do we do? Off course, we SOLO OVER IT with the free hand :-O
And as if that wasn't enough... let's switch hands at 3:53 and solo with the left. Off course. Sure. Why not? My answer would be: "because it's freaking IMPOSSIBLE?!?!"
The interdependence and internal clock of this guy is superhuman.
@groovingbob He's also retaining dynamic control throughout the entire piece. It wouldn't be half as interesting if he wasn't able to do that. I can imagine that being the aspect that would drive a perfectionist nuts. It's bat shit insanity technically but remains controlled, deliberate, and most importantly emotive. This is certainly up there with the most impressive pieces of drumming I've seen, and possibly THE most. What an artist!
I've been playing for like 15 years now. I don't consider myself great, but I can certainly lay down a nice groove for the band. I went to watch Terry in concert. Just him and his beast of a drumkit.
I left the show feeling like an absolute beginner. It's insane.
@irwin3036able Just beause mike mangini is the new dream theater drummer, it doesnt mean we will never see terry play with John or jordan, or anyone, ANYTHING schould go in the music world, thats my opinion, i bet you and many others would like it if drum channel and other artists colaborated more often, we all love fresh music dont we? :D
I'm a brazilian, and it's a shame to see a lot of brazilian comments from whom doesn't know one's own music. This is a samba like those they use to play in Bahia. Actually, this is much more related to the African samba, which became later the Araketu, than the regular Carioca Samba. This is a samba.
Love it. I met Terry and interviewed him in 1991. Being alone in a room w/him is intimidating because he is a genius like Billy Cobham. Composer w/ a symphonic drumset. He was very kind & signed my Paiste 20 "ss Bright ride. He is and was a god. Before this type of music I saw him w/ Missing Persons. he manufactured his own electronic drum kit. he does not show off chops he is a is a classical music composer. Greatness!
@ericmaddragzter Verdade... se for pela lógica do comentário do cara aí, se pra tocar samba tem que ser brasileiro, então nenhum brasileiro pode tocar jazz, ou nenhum brasileiro faz um jazz de verdade.
@neoheartz Mano, não seja tão cabeça fechada. O cara tem swing pra caramba. Isso aí é um samba do pelourinho total. Terry Bozzio é um "gringo" à parte. Essa de swing brasileiro é puro mito, invenção, dor de cotovelo. Pra se tocar samba não precisa ter "swing brasileiro" precisa mesmo é estudar.
Damn, that boy musta done sold his soul to the devil to have talent like that. Amazing. But then, sometimes I'm reminded of that episode of "Friends" where Ross had the Casio keyboard...
I could make a whole store, a big one, from his kit. Damn... There are more pedals, cymbals, and drums than all the stores of my little town put together... What a freaking coordenation... Just beyond average human beings. How can 9 suckers dislike? It might be a nightmare to tune.
It's actually probably rather easy to do, but time consuming being so many drums. Most of the drums are smaller and therefore easier to tune, as well.
@blakesdad38 let me tell u its a drum solo , there is only one drum and nothing else , and yes it is a musical composition as many other drum solos and music in general , and YES he is kind of a genius..
The curious thing is that this is not about having a good limb coordination- which obviously he has of plenty. One can identify in his body movement all the voices, whether it is an ostinato or a solo, and even though these segments singularly require some amount of attention, he must perceive and listen to all of them as a whole- much like executing a Bach's fugue- so that YOU, viewer, can have a proper musical experience.
He is making music there. That, my friends, is true artistry!
a true percussioninst and you're right UNDERATED I first came across him when he was with Steve Vai then Zappa. It's ashame we got skull banger mongals like Dave Gr...Something...l heading the pop side psychy. Peasents don't know what they're... not just Bozzio, but Mike Portnoy, Manu Kitche, Dave Wickell, etc even the old boy Mitch, Ginger and Moon. Crack up I don't even play the drums just appriciate talent.
@Chochili7 i don't get it?! Dave Grohl is a bad drummer, thats what you're saying? Listen to the Them Crooked Vultures-album, and you'll learn he is really good. Like you said, appriciate talent, no matter who plays....
I think this is an issue of the recording, rather than an issue with the way his bass drum sounds live. Terry's always liked his drums to ring (ie. have sustain), and this makes recording them really difficult. Engineers like dry-sounding drums, and Terry's are the opposite of that :)
@jonnytube1965 "Japanese" Samba you mean haha But it's ok, he's not brazilian so of course i don't want him to play like Kiko Freitas. He's a great drummer nonetheless.
@SMcQuadeDrums Anyone who thinks raw speed= creativity or dosen't understand the difference between solo percussion performance and playing in a pocket as part of a band. In other words, deaf morons.
I'm surprised with the level of independence on his limbs he doesn't lead with his left hand when going from larger toms to smaller ones. Not saying I can, I'm just surprised.
how the f can you practise this "independence" of his limbs? e.g. the part 2:10 - one hand creates the background for the tracj, the other is more like a solo, or 2:40 when his legs do the background theme... how do you practise it? Any film on YT with a lesson, a decade of practise, a drug, a soul sold to the devil? Seriously, how??
This is probably the best combination of timbre, melodiousness, rhythm and tact I've heard for a drum solo. To be an artist one has to know what to say wth the instrument rather than just merely calisthenicly showing off.
This is probably the best combination of timbre, melodiousness, rhythm and tact I've heard for a drum solo. To be an artist one has to know what to say wth the insturment rather than just merely calisthenicly showing off.
Purely stunning! Drumming nirvana. He's playing more with kick, hihat and left hand than most drummers could never aspire to - THEN add right hand "off" signature ostinatos on top and you have absolute genious!! Hmmm... I guess you don't have to play loud dbl bass quadruplets/septuplets up and down the kit for 5 minutes straight to have a drum solo!
Bueno, bueno! Aqui si esta perfecto el señor Bozzio. En otras ocasiones es demasiado histrionico, pero en esta ocasion es un virtuoso en su maxima expresion. Bravo!
i am brazilian and i know something about our samba grooves. this is a very dificult task to play it properly and wow, Terry have just nailed it to perfection and feel. great performance, great technique!!! insane.

@jonnytube1965 "Japanese" Samba you mean haha But it's ok, he's not brazilian so of course i don't want him to play like Kiko Freitas. He's a great drummer nonetheless.

@SMcQuadeDrums Anyone who thinks raw speed= creativity or dosen't understand the difference between solo percussion performance and playing in a pocket as part of a band. In other words, deaf morons.

I'm surprised with the level of independence on his limbs he doesn't lead with his left hand when going from larger toms to smaller ones. Not saying I can, I'm just surprised.
freezerbabies 10 months ago
how the f can you practise this "independence" of his limbs? e.g. the part 2:10 - one hand creates the background for the tracj, the other is more like a solo, or 2:40 when his legs do the background theme... how do you practise it? Any film on YT with a lesson, a decade of practise, a drug, a soul sold to the devil? Seriously, how??

Wait! Wait! I know... it's a trick! He has a feet brain and a hands brain!
Amazing.... left hand and feet rhythm with right hand syncopation and vice/versa!
I own this tape, but it's so nice to see it here. I just can't get enough!
He's one of those phenomena that just needs to make his statement alone sometimes.
Not that I didn't love seeing him w/Zappa back in The Palladium days!

This is probably the best combination of timbre, melodiousness, rhythm and tact I've heard for a drum solo. To be an artist one has to know what to say wth the instrument rather than just merely calisthenicly showing off.

Purely stunning! Drumming nirvana. He's playing more with kick, hihat and left hand than most drummers could never aspire to - THEN add right hand "off" signature ostinatos on top and you have absolute genious!! Hmmm... I guess you don't have to play loud dbl bass quadruplets/septuplets up and down the kit for 5 minutes straight to have a drum solo!

Bueno, bueno! Aqui si esta perfecto el señor Bozzio. En otras ocasiones es demasiado histrionico, pero en esta ocasion es un virtuoso en su maxima expresion. Bravo!

i am brazilian and i know something about our samba grooves. this is a very dificult task to play it properly and wow, Terry have just nailed it to perfection and feel. great performance, great technique!!! insane.

I love the effect he gets from the press rolls on the toms!
The two heads in unison, and some vibrato from the natural changes in pitch that come with the technique... almost sounds like a chorus of voices...
