chris dave robert glasper maiden voyage/right place

[futured1prospect]

dave is amazing but in my book billy kilson is tops look his stuff up on youtube and you'll see why..

[jazzcombo251]

ahhhh naw man. Billy Kilson is no Chris Dave. Billy Kilson can be kinda tasteless and shreddy. Dave, Harland, Kendrick, Jamire play way more musically than Kilson. But don't get me wrong man Kilson is a beast and i admire his playing a lot. Now all he does is play with Chris Botti :S

[iplaybaritone]

Rediculous!!

they're so creative but they respond to each other so well and no hesitation. just an amazing overall flow of the music

[dreloo1084]

i see why alot of drummers like to model their style after chris dave!!! can you blame em though...? piano player is killin!!!

[altavon]

ROB IS KILLIN

[samb721]

YO, I neva peeped that he grapped 2 sticks in his right hand til drumminggenius pointed it out. Im a little happy with myself now, kuz i was SO impressed by his speed I started working on that, and got it with one stick...YEAH!!! lol@super excitement.

[Rugerman205]

I have to admit that this is a crazy groove alright...he's ONLY using 1 stick during the entire hi-hat work, and keep the groove with the LEFT hand. He's just got INSANE hand speed with the right! Ya know I would LOVE to catch a show out at Yoshi's. If you guys like Chris Dave then you'll LOVE one of my FAVORITE percussionist in the world of Jazz check out JEFF HAMILTON! He's a showman for certain and Swings like NOBODY's business

[drumminggenius]

2 sticks in his right hand....... and you don't have to admit anything, it speaks for itself. and what's with the Jeff Hamilton reference? I could't think of two drummers more different in style and ability. I'm not starting beef i just don't know where you're coming from.

[Rugerman205]

Okay Genius! You've got me player had to look at the video once again I must've been tripping that day the SIDEWAYS video kinda threw me off!?!? I see him grab the 2nd stick from the stick bag around 1:03! NO beef taken I just said IF you like Chris I ONLY recommended checkin out Jeff Hamilton and I DID say that he's heavy SWING JAZZ(versus Post-Bop) but the point was AWESOME drummers NOT to compare! You're a Drummer and so am I, Jeff is a Legend like Peter Erskine OR Dave Weckyll (Rock & Roll)

[Rugerman205]

Again in the spirit of all great Drummers/Percussionist check out these guys too NOT FOR SIMILAR STYLE *LMAO* but because they're Awesome: ?uest Love (the Roots), Dave Weckl "solo", Steve Gadd(of Steely Dan), Harvey Mason, John Blackwell(PRINCE), Sonny Emory(Earth, Wind & Fire), OR the ORIGINAL "Funky Drummer" Himself CLYDE STUBBLEFIELD (James Brown & Most sampled Drums in Hip-Hop history) for more entertainment also check Joey Jordison "in Drum Studio" & "In Studio '05" (from SlipKnot) ENJOY!

[drumminggenius]

cool yeh. i get ya. but if you like modern jazz/groove drummers. i'd recomend the likes of kendrick scott, damion reid, the incredible marcus gilmore, ari hoenig, adam deitch, gene lake, nate smith, stokely, thomas pridgen, KARRIM RIGGINS etc. That's if you wanna stray off the beaten track, no pun intended :P

[thatsmypeanuts]

ugh marcus gilmore is freaking atrocious

[drumminggenius]

check him on the vijay iyer album 'reimagining'. that should change your mind

[thatsmypeanuts]

Meant it in a good way... Marcus is insane

[drumminggenius]

haha seen, irony doesnt really work on youtube

[epasurr]

don't forget jonathan blake and eric harland!

[martialguitarist]

2:25!!! I love how Chris Dave kicks of that groove!!!

[Quezo7129]

Ya know this is 1 of the craziest clips I have seen on youtube. Geez...Chris is awesome...Spanky gets a lot of credit for Chris's style of playing. Both great cats both Chris is the man! This is crazy...lol Thanks for uploading

[Moog167]

and how does Chris do that thing with the hi-hat at 1:59?

[drumminggenius]

2 sticks in his right hand. one on top, one underneath the hi hat

[Moog167]

Oh....Thanks.....now I need to practice that with a click track...lol

[ptraad]

actually, I think they're both on top.

[drumminggenius]

nah dude, i was there. you see it in other videos aswell

[phmfthacim]

they're not both on top. I've seen him do it at yoshi's

[musicforspeeding]

Robert Glasper is just as killin as Chris Dave

this is insane

[Cudnpeter]

So many musicians are handicapped because they depend so much on the drummer, but you have to be a skilled musician to play with Chris, whose time measures are transparent and so perfectly chaotic....I have played drums for 30 years and have to pat my feet to keep time with him....

[Moog167]

I so agree...musicians that depend on drummers keep drummers in a box so much these days....so If a drummer wants to play like Mr.Dave here the other musician has to have amazing time like Mr.Glasper

[Moog167]

The stuff that Chris does WILL get you into trouble if the band you're playing in doesn't know about Chris Dave

[drumminggenius]

tell me about it!.... don't try this at home kids!

[Moog167]

I did some "C.D." chops while I was jammin (or we call rockin off) with my boys and they got mad at me and said "what the $%&$* was that yo?!?"

I said check out Chris Dave and learn where the 1 is!....lol!

[audaciousking]

chris dave is the most creative drummer i've ever heard...wow

[clbzone]

IN-CRED-I-BLE drumming. He and Stokley are 2 of the best on the planet.

[organizedblues]

yes they are!!!:) great comment

[PhillyBassMonster]

uh why do i have to turn my cpu sideways just to watch the video

[drumminggenius]

haha soz dude. im special needs. plus uno its more fun that way

[organizedblues]

i dig the side way view bro...lol

[raellrael]

great hi hat 1 45- 2 30

[Moog167]

I was crying in amazement.....

[drumbum1010]

i just peed a little

[bc74o7]

sickkk drummingg

[ntrakit6]

This is exactly the type of stuff i'm talking about...this hurts to watch. When Rob start's slowing down @ 1:58, chris does too, to a point where they slow down to the same temple they started with...does that make sence?

[organizedblues]

it hurts me inside to watch this... he's just the best...

[motifator]

I threw up....OMG

[jayjon04]

this combination is so nasty. i'm still tryin to wrap my mind around it.

[goaway25]

Pretty much ridiculous..

[martialguitarist]

HOT FIRE!!!!!! Got Damn!!! Chris Dave is the best drummer!! 4 real no joke.

[ezk2517]

word is bond, shits da jump off knawmean?

[oakleaman]

'beastly' - i'm goin' with that!

[thatsmypeanuts]

jesus the groove at 2:26

[SANKOFA1]

Hand's down I will say he is the best Drummer next to Jeremy Haynes ALIVE!!!! ALIVE!!!! NO ONE!!1

[SANKOFA1]

See how much people are QUICK to judge and not read...I SAID NEXT TO JEREMY HAYNES HE IS THE BEST ALIVE! Did everyone catch that?!?!?

[redhandrail]

yes. Chris Dave and Robert Glasper are the shite.

[christlovescrisps]
