Daniel Glass: Modern Drummer 2010

[gchsdrummerboi2007]

I got to go to one of his clinics, and I must say this guy is a genius!

[Decksmaster67]

Totally good... the swing machine !!!

[cashendley]

I don't think that its SOLELY up to the drummer to make people want to dance... I mean you cant listen to anything by Nat King Cole or Oscar Peterson's Trio (without drummers at all) and say that it doesn't make you want to boogie. I think all drummers should be able to contribute to making people want to dance, as well as be able to make people want to dance by themselves playing, but in the end, I think it's the excitement and energy created by the group that truly makes people want to groove.

@cashendley ... a valid point , but think about it this way ...if the band is slamming but the drummer sucks then nobody is going to dance ... conversely , if the band is mediocre but the drummer has a fantastic groove , the people will dance

@StinkyyWiklee.. Ah, by your youtube video, you have no grounds to make any comments about left handed drummers !!!

[gigakoulis]

:O left handed and traditional grip. I LOVE THAT VIDEO !

[ThomasMetal75]

Does he actually think he is a greaser?!?

[TtAbrams]

this guy gets it.

[DaveBassDotCom]

Go get it, Glass! (from Bass).

[giosmrbig]

absolutely amazingggggggggggg !!

[DrSyncopation]

I'm very proud to say that Daniel Glass is my drum teachers drum teacher :D

[Chimalpopica]

@DrSyncopation He taught mine too. Had him hitting the snare drum for an hour to get the right sound...

lol.

[fnkdrmmr]

Nice shoes...



[SoloDrumMusic1969]

Indeed, StickyyWinklee!!...Indeed!!, hahaha. Great, beautiful playing.

[HankLafayette]

To anyone who wants to learn how Daniel developed his ability to understand and play these classic styles (and incorporate them in a modern context), check out his book "The Commandments of Early Rhythm and Blues Drumming" that he co-wrote with Zoro. You'll learn that Daniel wasn't born with this ability but developed it through disciplined study and practice of deceptively simple grooves. It's a history study and instructional method combined into one. Happy listener-reader. (No affiliation.)

[JontandBrentathan]

very different style. what kind of kit is that? the snare sounds awesome.

[noconfig]

@JontandBrentathan Something like ska, folk, bluegrass

[ketium]

big ups to the guy with nikes

[gabbalabbawoop]

good skills, nice playing....shame about the Dead Wombat drums xD xD xD

[ryder187mac]

This guy is fucking goofy, but awesome style and very old school... seems like he'd be a good teacher for a groove drummer :)

[joegritschacher]

big ups to the guy with the Sabian shirt!!

[HughWheelerDrums]

this is great :)

[SimonVicFirth]

Watch the splash in the part at 1:19 when Glass is playing, it is swinging along :D

[ruhrpotthc]

wise words

[TommtheDrummer]

Your a kick-ass drummer when you can shuffle like that :L

[godlydrmr]

I don't understand why lefty drummers want to play crossed over

[dwsabianguy]

@godlydrmr same reason righty drummers do - it's all about the feet

[godlydrmr]

@dwsabianguy I didn't even think about that, I'm a lefty but I play a righty kit. I guess it's a toss of the coin, you either play open hand with a right bass or crossed with a left depending on how it feels

[DrumTVShow]

Awesome ... 

[NetherNoTwisting]

WoW he's really amazing i really don't listen at all to this kind of music but i really appreciate this ! this guy is totally right, drummer should make move people, or make an effect on them, this guy has something totally unique in what he's doing here

[beckettmusic]

the shuffle is becoming a lost art.....this guy has "IT"....amazing

[kingtoadius]

long live the shuffle!!!!!

[Burningeordie]

amazing stuff.

[bigbossmatt]

will definitely be getting this dvd. Daniel is an ambassador of some of the best music on this planet!

[StickyyWinklee]

why does seeing left handed drummers play make me feel uncomfortable xD

great playing nontheless :P

[dave90mckeague]

@StickyyWinklee you would think they'd invert the camera just out of common coutesy!! haha

[BHBdrummer]

@StickyyWinklee I know! It's sort of dizzying to watch. Why this is so I can't explain...

[Funkengr00ven]

@StickyyWinklee Just watch it through a mirror and you'll be fine! ;)

[InnerBeatDrumSchool]

@StickyyWinklee I know what you mean! It freaks me out! But at the same time I love it!

[louisalive]

@StickyyWinklee seeing people shuffle that hard makes me uncomfortable haha

[RockHardTeam]

@StickyyWinklee He's my Drum teacher's teacher

[MetalForLife2697]

@RockHardTeam is your teachers name eddie?

[RockHardTeam]

@MetalForLife2697 yepp

[RockHardTeam]

@MetalForLife2697 yeahh

[MetalForLife2697]

@RockHardTeam same lol, thats awesome.

[eqsmooth]

@StickyyWinklee Ian Paice would not make you feel uncomfortable. he's one of the greatest ever and doesn't look awkward like this guy. Listen to The Mule by Deep Purple. DanGlass seems more like an educator, not a performer. Very old school.

[Funkengr00ven]

@StickyyWinklee Watch it in a mirror!

[thegreatbasher]

@StickyyWinklee I don't know why? Why does reading the comment make me feel uncomfortable? Who knows?

[ianhaan]

ONE WORD = TASTEFUL!!!!!!!

[allmetaliswelcome]

hmm playing shuffles in death metal?

[Vodje01]

very nice style!

[twohandsdrummer]

Tight, groovy...wonderful!
