  • what's he compensating for..?

  • bozzio is a patetic drummer.....for both, if you later use in half.

  • sure, every anonymous person on the internet can play drums as good as terry bozzio.....

  • The amazing thing about terry is that he doesnt have the kitt to show off but he ACTUALY uses avery single part of his drums

  • thats just unnecessary 

  • I still can't find the hi-hat and ride

  • horrible -.-

  • All I need is 3 toms a bass and a snare lmao

  • @chickenbeforeegg

    thats cause you cant play the stuff terry does on his instrument. :-)

  • @CaptainsOrders I don't play what he plays, doesn't mean I can't. I can. Just don't want/need to. :P

  • This is what I don't get about terry and his 'contraption'. Drums are the heart beat of music, they keep the time, and supply the groove, they are not built to create melodies, they are the driving force behind a band. If you want to create melodies you use, guitars, piano etc not a fucking pitched drum kit tuned to every note in the chromatic scale. All you essentially need is kick, snare and hat and a ride. Toms are just optional extra's in some styles, some styles they are vital.

  • I lost count of the pieces at 0:01

  • HOW ARE THE CYMBALS TUNED

  • @Obelisk2290 Wiki him and at the end of the page is a list of his kit and how everything is tuned! Very Sweet! Terry Bozzio is one of the best Drummers in the World...IMHO...Go listen to some Missing Persons or some of the work he did with Frank Zappa, XYZ, Dokken, Jeff Beck, UK, Gary Wright or any of the many bands and musicians he played for...including Frank's son Dweezil...Some studio work with Korn on their 8th album...The Guy can shread some skins!...Rock on bro!...

  • More cowbell.

  • If he wanted to play actual notes, maybe he should have thought about Timpani instead of drumset, I'm sure he could have easily bought a set, considering they would have been much cheaper than this beast, but then again, Timpani would be tuned much lower than what he currently plays on now...

  • cool vid

  • bozzio fucking sucks asssssssss! he needs to sell that piece of shit and buy a maple pdp.

  • Would sound better if he had more drums.

  • DON'T DO DRUGS.

  • it looks like he only has china cymbals .. ?

  • that set is crap...

  • This drumset is the most ridiculous thing i've ever seen... it almost makes me angry

  • His mega-kitt is set up chromatically? Do you think this is overkill or am I simply that shallow?!

  • @RICHGREENNOW whilst it is ridiculously impractical and would be a burden for any performance, the things he can do on that beast justify and the chromatic arrangement helps that. hes a drummer that literally has more tones than most pianists

  • what the fuck does any one see in him, ,jesus most of his solo's are seriously boring

  • @sonor1981 lol.....he has a deep past....anybody who plays with frank zappa is a master!

  • @xxxslayerxxx666 truthfully i couldnt care about his past and who he has played for,

  • @sonor1981 than truthfully you are just trolling...i mean really, you can't ignore a persons past EVER, you just don't like his new style(even though it's BETTER and not flashy like his old stuff) it's boring to YOU, so really i don't care, just thought you should know that has true talent....what drummers do you like?

  • @xxxslayerxxx666 can if you want ?? new or old style dont matter, i dont have a favourite drummer

  • @sonor1981 what the fuck does "can if you want ??" mean?!

  • @xxxslayerxxx666 you can ignore a persons past if you want to ??

  • @sonor1981 yeah true....but a persons past tells a lot about who they are....or the decisions they made....so to ignore them would be foolish....so yeah, dumb people can ignore it with no problem, that's why dumb people make dumb decisions like letting obama run for president(watch "obama's 50 lies")

  • pretty boring playing i gotta be honest, i appreciate that he has talent etc and fair play to him for the drum set, but personally its overkill. and to be honest the most impressive thing is just his foot work with all the different pedals, the sound he makes isnt anything better than the standard 5 piece. that i just my opinion tho and good on ya if ya like it, i just personally dont

  • Im the type of drummer who likes finding ways of making minimal drumkits work so I find this just a tad overdone

  • His neighbours must hate him.

  •  travis barker sucks

  • imagine travis barker going wild on this :D

  • People stop hating on the man!!--he has done more in his career than most people will ever do in their lifetime--he has a big kit 4 a reason--2 make music--every drum & cymbal serves a purpose--more power 2 him

  • Terry Bozzio = dickhead ...what the fuck is this shit ?

  • @allthingsthatarecool To quote The Who..."Who the fuck are you?"

  • beast of a kit!! to bad korn are shit

  • setting up my 6 piece is a pain in the ass.....this guy must have a lot of paitents...

  • @TheLastSnareBender

    If he was a doctor he would have a fuckload of Patients but thank god he's not. He happens to be a drummer and I'm sure he has alot of -------PATIENCE--------to put up that monster of a drumset.

  • @mrrogue72 spelling error........my bad

  • @mrrogue72 HAHAHAH! "PATIENTS"

  • I think he's missing a tom

  • @LOZmaster85RB Bwahahahahahaha

  • de barro

  • You should hear him play the piano.

    every real musician can play the piano. Some better that others. For you to not recognize talent suggests to me that you don't play either. Tisk - Tisk-Tisk

    

  • What makes me laugh about all the haters on you tube saying " travis is overated, so is bonham......etc etc" is that while these drummers are/were out earning millions from drumming the haters are all working at Mac wall mart earning minimum wage !! :)

  • wanna play diatonic and chromatic shit? wrong instrument! u should have learned to play the piano.

  • holy shit...

  • I feel for his roadies, I really do.

  • do you think if i thief him a tom, he would be angry?

  • That's Terry in the light blue shirt during the set up, by the way.

  • I think folks look at his drum set and think "WOW!!!"...he must be really good...but anyone can go out with the money,and build a huge drum set...And while Bozzio is good,I know a cat personally that'll run this guy under the table with a lot smaller set.

  • More power to him. It's not like he's ridiculing others for having less drums. To each his own.

  • If it is more interesting to watch a guy's kit being set up than it is to listen to the music he makes on it, I think we know where we are.

    Skilled job or not, Bozzio needs to listen to himself.

  • that sure is a lot of props for absolutely, no talent. he sounded much better when he was with Zappa, and even that was tough on the ears.

  • @MrBohica1980 No talent? You don't know what you're talking about!

  • The reason this guy needs all this shit is cause he has a small dick. I hate huge ass drumsets.

  • 2 min and 27 sec, pretty fast crew!

  • i bet everytime bozzio sits down on that throne to do a gig , he thinks to himself ..FUCK YEE I HAVE A HUGE MOTHERFUCKING DRUM SET :D

  • @adozenlies97

    and he then continues to play the fuck out of it.

  • @adozenlies97

    and then continue to play the fuck out of it.

  • This is the most arrogant, stupid thing I have ever seen. "Bozzio, get some fuckin help man" . Watching you play the drums is boring and having a 400 piece drum set still doesnt help.

  • Wow, look who takes advantage of his endorsements.

  • @dpgiaca97

    and why the fuck not.

  • I can't believe it I have a biggest drum set FUCK YEAH!

  • :52 IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO HAVE THAT MANY PEDALS

  • @2ibanezguitar2 Spoken like a true fucking moron!

  • I think this guy has an amazing drumkit but would like to know some more of his music so I can check him out. As a drummer myself It would be interesting to see wether the kit isnt just for show.

    plz send me some links for his other videos.

  • @Drumbot7 Listen to Frank Zappa...

  • @Drumbot7 I was first introduced to Bozzio's music in the early '80s (I missed the Zappa era.) Here's a video of his band Missing Persons playing in Apple Computer's co-founder Steve Wozniak's back yard: In those days the impressive rack belonged to Dale, Terry's wife and lead singer of the band. The rolls and fills in that song start at about 2:57.

  • @ErikOosterwal - This reply thing doesn't seem to like links... >:-(

    Copy-Paste the following in the YouTube search window: XNHkgMNVn0I

  • anyone can tell me which brand is patches of Terry Bozzio

  • holy mothereffing son of a bitch!

    that's one BIG drumset!

  • @JerryTravis - What could Lars do with that kit? I would imagine he would play out of time and screw up songs. In other words, exactly what he's doing now. 

  • I want to see what Joey Jordison or Lars could do with that kit =P

  • can you donate one of your 2000 toms?

  • if jesus had a drum set...

  • bozzios circus is on the air

  • he uses all of it... like he said: he's making music with the drums so he needs a kit that plays in different keys which requires a bunch of bass drums and chromatic toms and other tonalities in tune with what he wants to play.. its true to say that most really good drummers are the better musicians of the band they play in and at some point their ears could just be like i cant take any sort of dissonance with the other instruments.

  • :09 Yeah, "little" erector set...

  • well theres more than a few drums there

  • You can't deny Bozzio is at a BARE minimum in the top 40 drummers of all time (I would, however, put him in my top 25 probably). But at the same time, the size of the kit is absolutely unnecessary.

  • @RazrHack DigitalDreamdoor ranked him 6th best rock drummer when he was with Zappa

  • @KeithHarbaugh Ehh, he wouldn't make my top ten, there's a lot of better drummers out there, for example, Krupa, Rich, Bonham, Peart, and Moon, just to name a few that make up my top ten.

  • Omg!

    

  • stupidly big.

  • holy shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Now set up JoJo Mayer, Dave Weckl or Dennis Chambers (just to name a few) next to him with a five or six piece kit and watch Terry get his ass handed to him.

  • He's not even that good a drummer. He overcompensates with big drum kits.

    Whatever dude.

  • Comment removed

  • Mate, why did you steal Chuck Norris' drum set?

  • bla bla... just aparat!

  • Whoever talks shit on Bozzio, his set or his ego deserves to be put int othe drumming pit of death.

    Why? The man's a genius, he has every right to have the kind of setup that he wants. And in fact, he also uses it to its max potential. The drum kit is set up so it can satisfy his musical needs, that's all.

    Check out some of the melodies he plays, like Samba Ousado. Now you go do that on your 4-piece, lol :|

  • @ryder187mac And people have every right to form an opinion about his set up, approach and playing. I've seen Terry clinic twice and know all about his tonal and ostinato concepts, but personally I find his playing boring, souless, over practiced and stale. Just my opinion

  • @justentime77 They can have opinions, sure, but I'm tired of people saying Terry uses a big kit to compensate for lack of skill. They can think it's boring, has no soul and is stale, but technique isn't something that can simply be denied, especially when it comes to a drummer like Terry... and such denial of skill happens all over the place which is just what annoys me sometimes.

  • @ryder187mac I can appreciate that, but I think drummers are more about 'Feel' and Terry (as talented as he is, and he is) loses that in his approach. I'll take the Bozzio with Zappa or The Brecker Brothers over the stuff he's doing now.

  • @justentime77 Yeah, same. I just think Bozzio's approach with some of the projects he's been doing are too weird and... musically perverse? I don't think Bozzio's ever played a normal 4/4 rock beat @_@

  • @ryder187mac Silly comment, have you not heard Missing Persons?

  • @DeeEmm1 That's the "old" Bozzio, and obviously the comment is overexaggerated.

  • terry is really quite incredibly soulfull...thomas lang might be a tad soul-less but not terry..not in the least!!!! shocked you think this.

  • @justentime77 There is no such thing as "overpracticed"....

  • @justentime77 How the hell do you "overpractice."

  • @D3maine You practice so much your 'Feel' becomes stale and mechanical.

  • Jesus, leave tonality to the guitarists!

    Imagine if guitarists started using their instruments percussively.

  • I agree with Terry...I see drummers with a 4 piece kit and play the same 4 sounds all night...boring. And no it does not make you cool to play a set up like anyone else. Come guys...be your own person, your own player. Stop tring to be LIKE someone else. Be YOURSELF!!! And yes, a little overkill, but different and that makes it cool!

  • @raythackston1960 part of being yourself includes using what you got and is about how do you use it not how many things do you use.

    is not about the same 4 sounds that you have said is about how many sounds can you create.

    i can have just one snare drum but i can make millions of new sounds with that snare drum. that is being yourself , using your imagination being creative

    thats my opinion dude

  • if he wants more notes he should learn how to play idk a string or wind instrument? Its alot cheaper and quicker to set up and you dont look like a douche sitting behind it

  • And the point is...?

  • @Corbin666Ashby being a douchebag thinking that using two rack toms and one snare is not enough to rock out

  • @juanchodelasriveras Basically, yeah. lol

  • this is fucking retarded... doesnt even sound good, and one more time,,, FUCKING RETARDED

  • FAKE!!! only Spiderman would be able to handle a mashine like this!

  • hope it sounds better than that shit Sonor he used in his first video, back in the 80s...

  • Overkill

  • Keep 'em at home Terry

  • Give this guy a jazz kit with 2 snares + no toms, then we can test his true ability

  • @wakayoda you'd still be amazed... =)

  • @wakayoda This is alot harder to play.

  • @wakayoda

    Before Frank Zappa discovered him, Mr Bozzio was a Jazz drummer...

    The fact than he can play such a humongous drumset is proof that he masters rhythm...

  • @wakayoda Usually people that are on the level of getting 400 plus strangers to show up to any location in the world just to watch him solo on a drum set, has already done the "jazz kit, 2 snares, no tom" thing, and most likely has enough talent to shred on any set, or even a couple of buckets and a trash can lid. If the talent is there then you can play on anything, but its haters like you that always have some smart ass coment to say about something that you probably couldnt do yourself.

  • @drumdrum714 couldn't have put it better myself mate

  • @drumdrum714 I retract my statement.

  • @drumdrum714 here here...Talent, no talent....recognizable on any size kit....but he has a grasp on the instrument that most drummers dream of having..Rock on Drum God!!

  • @drumdrum714

    You took the words right outa my mouth. I couldnt have said it better!!

  • @wakayoda he's a drum soloist. he NEEDS all the drums, he doesnt want them. 

  • @wakayoda when youve played for zappa on many of his albums, you dont have to prove anything

  • @wakayoda he'll still be fucking amazing.

  • @wakayoda

    I'm sure Bozzio would handle that just fine.

  • @wakayoda

    and he would fuck you up.

  • @wakayoda That's like giving a guitarist a 1 string guitar. Having so many drums allows the musician to 'play' the drums. Each drum is tuned. Its not just there for bling factor.

  • @wakayoda you are a retard, listen to the guy who posted above you. he's not a jealous little fuck like yourself who probably can't even play drums and beats off to this every night

  • @wakayoda He obviously has skill. No need. Have you seen this guy on weird types of drums like bongos and stuff? He is fricken crazy

  • @wakayoda He HAS true ability cos he is a professional drummer. Don't talk shit, man

  • ...

  • that has gotta be expensive and time consuming to collect all those drums

    loser

  • very cool!

  • not a fan

  • thats one pissed off sound man

  • I thought my set was cool, once.

  • what idiot would wanna play melodies on a drum set

  • @allmetaliswelcome

    What idiot would want to play drums?

    Are you afraid of artistic innovation? Are you some kind or purist elitist scumfuck?

  • @TheWALOS it's a instrument made for rythms, just like, lets say, i'm gonna play a drumbeat on a flute, yay!

  • @allmetaliswelcome

    You could probably suspend a bunch of different sized flutes and make a percussion instrument out of them if you wanted. People have made cool instruments using stranger things. All instruments are rhythmic instruments, rhythm is a fundamental part of music no matter what you play. The question; are drums melodic instruments per se? The answer is; yes, they are.

    Tune all of your rack toms to the same note, and then ask what idiot would want to play melodies on drums.

  • Nice set!

  • Man has only two feet, but this guy's drumset has about 14 pedals.

  • This kit is the greatest shit I've ever seen.

  • I bet this went over real well with the sound man. I wonder what the input list was for this kit?

  • when i move my kit that is under a carpet i feel like i break my back, i wonder how would i feel if i move this dick

  • The drum kit really is too small, I think.

  • What a cool post!!!

    Terry Bozzio is a monster!!! he has an incredible pallette of sounds, grooves and astinatos--no one sounds like Terry!! from Zappa to UK to the Brecker Bros to his solo work he always delivers the goods with style, energy and artistry as only Bozzio can-

    check out this Bozzio inspired drum solo by a huge Bozzio devoteé and the author of

    "The Book of Funk Beats- grooves for snare, bass and hihat"

    search:

    "DRUM SOLO IN 3 MOVEMENTS"

    in YouTube

  • ridiculous!

  • terrible

  • @BeHemoth941 Well for 1 he is "that good" and 2 the point of so many drums (if you were listening to the video you would know" is that he is a melodic drummer so he makes music with his drums instead of just beats. you cant make music with a crash,ride,snare,tom,tom,tom,b­ass very well. thats why he has so many pitches. Answer your question??

  • Whats the point in having a big ass kit like this??? its a waste of money and time and space....and he's not even that good of a drummer.

  • @rayjr62 true

  • ok...so how many pieces total is that beast?

  • arnt trap kits supposed to be as small and movable as possible? oh an how they are fast to build and take apart? lol

  • @SuperChuck3 : Obviously this isn't a standard drum kit...each tom is actually pitched to a note, so he can create his own music as opposed to just beats and percussive noise.

    Also, there's no rule that says kits have to small and portable. Look at any major metal band's drum kit, I doubt it's very portable.

  • @SpartanCarver Oh I know that don't worry, drums do not have to be small or portable at all. I'm not bashing the kit, all I meant was the fact that the term "Trap kit" is one suggesting a small portable drum set. For example with Roto-Toms for the the toms and bass drum.

  • @SuperChuck3 : Ah, gotcha. Yeah I personally never use the term "trap set", it feels fairly outdated.

  • My limited drum brain wouldn't know what to do with a quarter of this set up. He'd have to be going for a higher plane of drumming, otherwise it's just overkill.

  • I wouldn't want to be the poor bastard / technician responsible for setting up (and striking) this kit. No thanks.

  • @rayjr62 even worse, how about trying to mic it ? as a guy that used to run sound, this kit is going to give me fucking nightmares

  • Concraption more like! What a waste! He seems to want to make up for not being with a top flight band, by having the biggest most expensive toy!

    Top drummers give the best music with simple kits for the job. Nothing to do with being jealous! LOL I am sure Phil Collins could buy hundreds of these mega kits!

  • @mgzt190plus

    Phil can't come close to Terry's playing. 2 different leagues.

  • ou maigodi

  • shit...

  • twat

  • this think probably cost like 40 thousand dollars

  • @jersdrums Add another 50 grand to that.

  • Cost estimate on that shit anyone ?? lol Guess if all else fails you could spread a tarp over the top and live in the damn thing. Now, I'm off to find some vids of him playin

  • *sigh* woah

  • Seems like there are some jealous fuck's out there. What's the matter, is Terry's bigger than your's?
