Brian Brush hands

[331paradiddle]

Brian. buy a short sleeved shirt. Its amazing how undistracted and how focused he his. There's a lesson in itself. What an incredible musician.

[helenlundeberg]

[DrTijn]

@helenlundeberg brian blade:)

[jovanbell]

[Pudersepp]

[drumsbykevin]

[mmnldrdy]

Nice quote of Richard Davis at the end of the McBride's solo.

("Parisian Thoroughly", The Jaki Byard Experience)

[seanjazzguitar]

thats how you play a bass

[drummakid101]

Blade looks like a Janitor with a hidden talent that is his drumming with that suit.

[clevermedia]

What a relief to see on Youtube the Art of drumming, Brian Blade's ideas....invention.....dynamic­s....skill.. instead of the usual macho technocrat pissing competition.

[maidoodesu]

very nice ! です.

[gaba0380]

fantastico!!!

[pipi333]

any other definition of walking*

[djangoramsey]

[marsyanjezz]

Brian el manco!!!

[johnsbubbalog]

[Kitschead]

Brilliant! i love how they go into a country feel at around 1:45

[Jazzman303]

Sorry... Brian's*

[Jazzman303]

Ha. With Brains Sleeve over his right hand he looks like he just got his hand removed and had a brush permanently installed...

[willplez]

@Jazzman303 I think that'd be the best plan of action if you lost your hand! Captain Drumstick!

[bryanskaylor]

@Jazzman303 Sounds like it too...

[seasondrummer]

one of the best brush solos ive seen for a long time ...go there brian

[tubagirl93]

aewsomw!! but, notice how brian blades shirt is covering practically his whole hand, haha

[invisiblekid14]

the name of the toone is "straight ahead" by kenny dorham on his "una mas" album. beautiful phrasing here by both . . .

[babaoriley8]

whats the bass players name?

brian blade is sick

[thebasscliff]

Thats the one and only Christian McBride, and thats a badass walking solo

[cfoldesh]

that's all you guys can talk about after seeing this video? What kind of drums he's playing?-- what about all the bad shit he's throwing down? come on

[Ormaaj]

Holy balls... Thats some bad shit! :D

[sonor23]

Sonor circa 1970 . I have a set just like it  in 18/14/12 sizes and different finish . Fab drums .

[bustamove196]

now thats musicianship....

does anyone else get the feeling that jazz musicians are just really nice people? for some reason that always strikes me...

[epasurr]

nope, ive met so many asshole and obnoxious jazz musicians. ive also met alot of nice, helpful, and encouraging jazz musicians. I dont think the asshole/nice guy ratio differs much from one musical genre to another

[ilikememusic]

uh.............wynton marsalis : )

[Dyintryin]

Anyone know what make of drums they are? loe the solo as well.. cool.

[SqueakySpeedKing]

Those are 1960's era Sonor drums

[epasurr]

I looooove his bass drum

[Istanbulmehmet]

Both McBride and Blade has sick chops!

[arambambam]

great video!

[Mapex101]

I'm positive that's his 14x5" Black Beauty...

[OGNOGN]

no way, its a 6.5 at least, no matter what it is.

[Mapex101]

Yeah you're right, of course it is. I dunno what I was thinking when I posted that.

In which case I have no idea what snare that is. I always thought he used a 5" BB.

[epasurr]

why?

[SqueakySpeedKing]

That's a Leedy snare drum

[takauya]

Really? To me it looks like Gretsch's 6.5.

I'm not sure though.

[zmgriffith]

I'm leading "Leedy...." The rim is flanged, not die-cast, as it would have to be were it Gretsch.

Not to get too nerdy.

Anyway, the drummER is nice. So fresh, not at all "choppy."

[explodingdrumr]

i know those are teardrops... but what kinda snare is that?

Cymbals?

[ryegi]

Christian Mcbride and Brian Blade are BEASTS!!!!!!!!

[inwarddrums]

blade is great, but mcbride's solo is also awesome.

[drummerboytoo86]

bad choice of long sleeves for brian...lol

[kopinha]

tks for posting , i love blade :)
