  • If you think that TB cant play you dont know wtf youre talking about. There is NOBODY that Frank Zappa hired who couldnt play the most complex music on their instrument, period.

  • This tool doesn't need 75% of his kit - stupid music played by a douche bag.

  • @MissEgasMoniz you obviously have no sense of music

  • @kpfootball84 I have no taste for silliness - Bozzio doesn't rate in any genre list as far I am concerned.

  • i wish he'd do sick metal on this beast of a set

  • talk about insecurities..... that's a freakin massive set for complete show. close your eyes, and it sounds like a 10 year old banging on the door. he sucks as a drummer.

  • @MrBohica1980 Terry Bozzio insecure. LMFAO He's on top of the best in the world. If you don't know drums, don't talk drums.

  • Double bass just wasn't enough for him!!!!!!!!

  • mdr a quoi sa sert il uitilise meme pas la motié =__=""

  • all his shows going so? 2 hours same stupid drumming without the band? who was even 1 time tell me?

  • Terry is a novice! He didn't learn about the other types of drums that's why he combines them! HE SHOULD BE IN AN ORCHESRTA- no other band would seriously use him!

  • @not25yet

    He is in many orchestras, and was in many bands. Frank Zappa, Korn. He is a revolutionary in music, he composes full pieces of music and plays them on his kit. His toms are tuned chromatically, so he has about 2 octaves to work with.

  • @AsHeWasLeftBehind You're right! The thing is this, i believe that you're as good as your last performance. I never heard Terry until now and he doesn't impress me!

  • @not25yet He also founded Missing Persons, a top 80's new wave band with his sister Dale @ vocals. The sound quality of this recording is not good at all. I wouldn't judge him on this at all...

  • to much aparat for a bad song ahahah!

  • ...where's the gut bucket?

  • fucking stupid

  • my daddy bought me a drum set better than this with way more drums

  • mucha bateria poca accion..... su historia nadie se la discute....

  • That's not a drum set, that's a space station!

  • finish

  • Terrry can play more on one foot than most of you haters can with his whole kit.

  • @pbrz1r Then why does he need such a big kit? There are many drummers that do so so so much more with a way smaller kit.

  • @jordanjcm there are no drummers with a smaller kit that can possibly do a whole diatonic scale on their drum set, much less two wholly different scales like bozzio. it would be like someone trying to play bach on a piano with five keys.

    now, a drummer with a smaller set may be more interesting to you or me, or even be a much more talented drummer, but this set does allow you to do things that are absolutely impossible on a smaller set. And when there is no band behind you...

  • @byebyecitybyebye It is ridiculous. That is why no one does it. Terry bozzio has gone a little cookoo. You can defend him if you want. The best drummers never play kits like that. EVER! It is not even enjoyable to listen to. Any real musician would realize that. He make such a huge effort to play all this melodic music on his drum kit and it is a big FAIL.

  • @jordanjcm agreed he is batshit. but he does have a point. if you want to play a melody on a drum set you need more than three to five notes. I personally would never choose to play on that kind of set because I want other people in my band. But really, some of the stuff he plays on it is ridiculously awesome. check out the shit he did on that Korn album. Most drummers don't have that many different beats in their entire repertoire, let alone in one song. (I Will Protect You)

  • is there realy a point to a set that big

  • @keytograve thats why they dont mike it

    DERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

  • I think that fourth tom on rack 2 is a little out of tune.

  • suck!

    

  • How many bass drums can you play at once? Why would you want more tha one?

    Big drum kit- little dick methinks

  • @willnotallow i dont think you are listening to the music he is playing

  • @willnotallow Each bass drum has a different sound. From a low boom to a high pop.

  • i just watched a bunch of videos of this guy and i never seen him use the other bass drums... and this wasnt even that great...i know hes tryin to make music with drums but this dosent sound like anything haha!!!! this foo blows

  • Terry is one of a kind- certainly hard to see or tell from this one minute video shot from (probably) an iPhone - most younger drummers don't get it because he is so musically sophisticated it goes over their heads-

    check out a Bozzio inspired solo-

    search "Drum Solo in 3 Movements"

  • @davelewitt Please stop. You did the same comment on another Bozzio video. I am a huge Bozzio fan but this is spam and I marked it as spam.

  • there is only 1 thing wrong with this drum set......it's not mine

  • he spent all his time workin on gettin this kit. took no time to actualy figure out good techniques and skills with it. thumbs down

  • i honestly think this set went to waste. put some one else in that cradle and maybe it would be better, cuz so many drums for a not so great drummer. just sayin

  • Dave Weckl wan-a-be

  • as said, he has the amount of drums and cymbals that he has so he can get as many different tones/tunes as possible.

  • @Manic205 no, he's doing it to get you to think that. Honestly, how impressive was that video? For a guy with that big of a drum set, you'd think he'd get a lot more tones than that. I could play better drums with my flaccid cock than he just showed

  • I'm sorry but that drum kit is stupid.

  • doesn't believe in plain crash cymbals?

  • i would feel really lost trying to play that kit. there's like 100 pedals!

  • actually there 15 lol. but thats still insane O.o

  • Fa cagare.

    Sembra un lampadario.

  • wow

  • He can have the biggest drum set ever because he is the most technically skilled drummer alive. He has a musical education to the umpteenth degree, and still plays with more creativity than anyone else. Obviously he has amazing talent, Frank Zappa only chose the best. That they needed Vinnie Colaiuta to replace him shows it.

  • More power to Mr. Bozzio. The geezer can have as many drums and gadgets he likes, he´s fuckin sponsored. And when u have roadies and tech personnel workin for you y the hell not experiment to the fullest? Not saying i would want to set that bitch up though, or even try to play it.

  • I had to set up a kit for him once at a clinic long ago and it wasn't nearly this size and still a daunting task! Back then he wa using Remo drums and those funky roto clangy baket things lol

  • I say not enough. I say add a wall of octobans, 20 or so roto-toms...what about clave pedals? More gongs! I see neither vibraslap nor crotales! You "black page" playing son of a bitch, where are the timpani?

  • less is MORE.

  • cliches are less

  • creativity is more

  • What I this is this. Many people say that its all kinds of sounds and not the best drums while others are rumored to think he's the best but his best days are behind him.

    The size of the kit is a major issue.

    How many people do you know?

    You think there are millions of drummers?

    Fifty beats per second some ask if that too much or too little.

    I see things flailing around. Others hear sweet sounds.

    Can you predict? Can you judge? I can. Some are like that. Others aren't.

  • can i play it

  • He can have as many or as few drums as he likes, I don't care.

    I am impressed when drummers play small kits and make them sound huge.... Still Terri is unique and has his own style... don't that been there.

    It would be interesting to video tape his performances so you can see all pieces. Than break it down, to see how many cymbals and drums he does not use? Just for fun. I'll guess there many he does not use? However they are there for his "creative" inspiration.

  • how come if this is so unnecessary, then why do the major drum companies keep endorsing him,paying him, pushing him into every country to promote, and most every band on the planet has dreamed of having him play in their band, most all professional musicians have huge respect for him, and hes been on countless albums.............hmmmm ?

  • look at his bass drums...That's why LMAO

  • un abruti en train de jouer!!!

    gros con!!!

  • nobody says he`s not good, it`s just the fact that he just filled the stage with a shitload of drums, really unnecesary because let`s face it, you don`t need them all. This is just bullshit. Ok, come complaining, thanks.

  • The reason he has so many is because he plays a melodic style, so he wants many drums with different pitches so he can create a lot of different sounds. But I agree this does go a bit overboard.

  • Pianos are stupid. You don't need that many notes. It just filsl the damn stage with keys. Let's eb honest: you don't need all those keys.

    And it's true: you don't need any of it. Music is not about necessity. I can make music with my fingers on my keyboard; I can make music with one note or with one thousand. No, he doesn't need them. That shouldn't stop him from using them if he can.

  • This is a small drum set

  • @ryanecirota You're shitting me right? thats 127 pieces.

  • I've seen him live and anyone who thinks he lacks talent is an idiot.

    Anyone who thinks he has more drums than he needs doesn't even understand what they're talking about, because they clearly don't know anything about Zappa... so again... idiots.

    Bozzio is awesome. End of story.

    Now, idiots, start your whining.

  • your an idiot for thinking that.

  • There is no need to be angry..... he used a lot less drums when he played with Zappa. I know I saw them many time live. Just saying.. Terri can have as many drums as he likes.... I just hate to be his roadie or drum tech. I gigged in clubs for year and found my 6 piece kit, hi-hat, 5 cymbles, was a lot to move. If I gig now, it's a trap kit. Smaller is better... if you have to move it. When playing clubs you don't have all day to set up and break down. How many drums can you hit at once? 4

  • I personally think the kit is a work of art, i wish drummers would stop getting so... offended by it. They are coming on and saying THIS IS SO FUCKING UNNECESSARY and then they name drummers they think are better. This guy is unique and can do whatever the hell he likes.

  • Terry Bozio can suck my balls no one beats thomas lang

  • Terry Bozzio is a very good drummer, no doubt, but there will never be another soloist like Buddy Rich. For those who doubt it, look him up.

  • Never? What a crappy attitude, do you HAVE to be such a BR fanboy?

  • fuck buddy rich, he is a very good drummer no doubt, but there's no one better than my mom.

  • i bet that set is a bitch to mic

  • Ha! Can you imagine setting it up?

  • @ClaypoolFan69 i dont it is micd at all i belive they just place a couple of mics in front of the all kit

  • gimmick

  • I love Bozzio, and yet I still lol'd

  • So your trying to say that Peart isn't a percussionist??

  • omfg people do no realize that Bozzio isn't a drummer, he is a percussionist. He makes music by himself, a one man band if you want to call it that. He doesn't play beats like other drums or solo's & he needs all the different sized drums for the different notes & melodies he plays. Anyone that tries to compare him to Neal Peart or any other DRUMMER is an idiot, honestly. They are both great, but it different styles & ways. Why can't people realize this?

  • totally stole that from what he said when he was talking about his big drumset

  • Yea dip shit but no one understands what he means when he says that. Everyone still tries to compare him with great drummers, but they are wrong.

  • hes a "SOLOIST" a drummer accompanies a band, and depending on the skill he shines or just provides a back bone to the music.

  • neal peart writes songs and is an influence for thousands of drummers around the world. his solos arent like portnoys where its going wild, theyre rythmic .

  • I think portnoy is pretty damn rythmic. He's an awesome drummer. One that just bashes away on the drums is Joey Jordison. He just plays as fast as he possibly can.

  • 1 you are not clear, is he a percussionist or a one man band? 2 I'm afraid a percussionist doesn use his legs... and 3 since what he plays is still a drum kit, he is a drummer. 4 there wouldn be nothing wrong about comparing a drummer vs a percussionist if you feel like, can be complex but nobody's an idiot.

  • that is so unnecessary epically the bass drums i don't care who u are and how good u are at drumming 5 bass drums is so unnecessary it doesn't matter what one you want 2 is plenty even 3 is pushing the limit

  • The diffirent size on the base drums makes diffirent sound for diffirent music, idiot

  • no listen you douche if your a good enough drummer you only need 2 bass drums i bet you bozzio barley uses 2 of those bass drums

  • U can use them for not just diffirent kind of sound, u can also use them for harder playing as multi pedal playing, which u dont know a shit about, i use 2 base drums myself and that´s enough for me, but since he´s a more proffesional drummer and in some of his videos he also says that he needs alot of equipment for making alternative sounds for diffirent playing so stfu

  • um how bout no.... listen to this in what video have you heard terry bozzio use more than two bass drums? hm/ show me a vid and and ills hut up and admit i am wrong and true it is hard to [lay multi pedals but why have them if you aren't going to use them?

  • its bass not base so make sure you can spell before you call someone an idiot

  • holy shit look how many cymbals!

  • Except they're all china stacks.

  • As for everyone crying about the amount of drums, um...isn't that his right to build what most others could never afford? Hey it's about having fun, and by the way he's just as good as all of the other drummers who live on the planet who play the same old time signatures that everyone who is considered anyone plays.

  • Really?

    Why do you need that many drums, thats just being an idiot......

  • I find it funny how you are scoffing at him as being an idiot for having that many drums, and have the username 'Neil Peart is God'. You should know that Neil Peart has a huge set exactly like that.

  • hahahaha... ZING.

  • Neil's isnt even close to as big as his, and besides, Neil uses every single drum on his kit too.

    I dont see Pearts kit having 7 kick drums, 28 toms, 8 chinas, 13 crashes, and 3 rides..........

  • First off, that's what she said. Second off, Terry uses every drum on his kit too. Third off, Terry's style is melodic, creating melodies with the drums. Most drummers don't need that many drums because they play percussively; Terry plays melodically.

  • Freakin amazing!Thanks for sharing that information with me nocturnezero.

  • Good point.

    He needs to lay off the Rototom abuse though.

  • He has rototoms? I think they're just 8 by 2 piccolo toms.

  • Peart's set is about 1/10th of this - at most.

  • Its about quality, not quantity. he is not god.

  • i totaly agree dude but out of the ones youlisted i am going to have to go with buddy rich as my most favorite.

  • hmmm he's over 50 and played with Zappa in his hay day, ok, seems to be legend material to me...but hey lets make you happy we will just rate him like a fine car, he's now gonna be labeled as a classic, does that help you cope with your envy?

  • bozzio is a legend

  • sick.

  • awsome! nice work man!

  • ppthhhhh

  • fuck him (thats all i'll say

  • 6 bas drum 2 feet i'm at a dillema here :p

  • he actually has 7 bass drums :P i saw him live XD... i wouldn't say hes anything special just a rich mofo with lots of drums XD

  • wow john bonham makes way better and more interestig music with only three toms....

    what a loser

  • travis barker could kill this wanna bee w/ both hands missing! why is he a drummer???

  • i want to see him play some flight of the bumble bee on the toms plox.

  • Jaki Liebezeit > everyone

  • Comment removed

  • I'll bet any drummer that owns at least one drum is better than this guy. Probably anyone who has TOUCHED a drum set is...

  • dude he is boring i'm better then him he just makes him self look good by having a huge kit

  • fuck that man, try watching the time lapse movie, its not about the big kit its about te different tones in it, try to creat those many tones out of a regular drumkit, it wont work, terry isnt the best drummer ever but he is a genius

  • He is GREAT but not the best. Yes he is awesome, but predictable in his drumming, which makes him slightly boring sometimes.

    Not saying he is bad, he is great, but not complex.

  • man bozzio is so damn boring... where is zombie zappa to make this intresting?

  • the drumset looks like it can fly x) a space-ship or something

  • he plays what , a 10th of the kit

  • 1'000'000'000'000'000' € of drum set!!!!

  • holy shit thats not a big-ass drumset

  • this guy below me is a fukin retard. go fuk urself

  • this shits a bit self indulgent

  • lol.. his solos do suck, unless he is playing to music

  • was that at a drum clinic...must hav been shit if it was...no offense!

  • nice drum...but...it sound´s soooo crapy

  • thats the audio quality i hope xD

  • Just because the kit is big, it doesn't mean he needs it to display his talent. It also doesn't mean the kit is huge to hide his flaws.

    Bozzio is a fantastic drummer.

  • he is with out doubt one of THE best drummers in the world!

  • the best drummers dont need kits the size of nabraska

  • i second that!

  • hahahaha

    are you saying Nebraska's huge?

  • bozzio has this thing where he's (undeniably) developed and his chops are super sharp. There's just something not terribly musical about it... I remember first hearing him with UK. In an ensemble he's awesome. Alone he's kinda stiff sounding.

  • Terry Bozzio is one of the greats! You haters just want some dumbed down kit that you can comprehend. This guys a true artist and a great guy to go along with it! I met him in the aiport in Moscow and he was a cool guy!

  • Fuckin' outrageous kit.

  • too many drums for him.. maybe someone like tony royster, dave wckl, gadd, colaiuta.. would use it better but not bozzio..

    huge set and cheap solo.

    i think if he had 1/4 this set his solo would be more attractive

  • you have no clue. espescially gadd is a drummer who plays a small kit, so how could he use it better than bozzio? bozzio is one of the only drummers who can handle that huge kit, without making all these drums seem ridiculous.

  • as I know bozzio plays on the biggest kit.. but.. do you think that he do it well? people watch him and waitin' for something speciall.. and? cheap solo. that's all.

    sorry dnt know how to say it in english but in poland people say:

    przerost formy nad treścią

    sorry I really dnt know how to translate it :p

  • this is a 1 minute video, probably filmed with a mobile phone, and because of this video u can say bozzio can't handle his set, and his solos are cheap?? wow u are a great guy! watch all his other videos or his dvd, and then say his soloing is cheap. his indepence is amazing, what you can't tell after seeing this video, because you don't hear what he actually does because of the bad sound quality.

  • i saw a few of his videos not only this one.

    and I don't rate others but this!

    huge set, cheap solo. that's my opinion..

  • then you don't know alot about drumming. i bet you think joey jordison and lars ulrich solos are amazing and incredible?

  • incredible? of course. but I dnt like it.

    btw my taste have nothin in common with my knowledge about drumming.

    sorry I dnt see any link between these two cases.

  • You hit the nail on the head!

    google translator says-"excess form over content"

    If you need translation go to-Google translate, they have a large selection of languages.

  • Too many drums.

  • you can never have too many drums, the more the merrier :D

  • I'm an open minded person.

    But this simply isn't entertaining.

    I like drummers who have the chops but keep it simple.

    Having a lot of drums seems like a dull gimmick..

  • he says he needs all of them for when hes on melody...but when the fuck are you do melody when your on the drums???

  • good drummer - boring video

  • is he a drummer?

  • NOPE!

  • my 8 month old niece can play that same rythym on my 4 PIECE kit with 1 stick while puking up the pieces of chicken i shouldnt of given her for lunch

  • yah man i agree this guy is overated just cuz he has a big set fuck him listen to chris adler, dave lombardo or neil peart people with real talent

  • i really dont get why he has to have a massove cage for his drum set i mean neil peart has just as many drums and drum accserories yet he doesnt feel the need to put them in a cage idk i just dont get why he cant just put them in a circle around him just like everyone else that has a massove drum set

  • hahaha what are you talking about neil peart has NO WHERE near as many drums as this, i'm not saying i like this guys kit, cause i really dont, i think its too flashy and so unnecessary, but get your facts straight lol

  • i dont really like this guy, he thinks he has to have enough drums to make every fucking sound known to man all those drums and cymbals are so unecessary, he believes if he has the biggest set in the world people will think hes the best. joey jordison for example kills this guy. terry is a great drummer but his set is whack and he is overrated i think and i seriously feel for his roadie

  • Joey Jordison? That loser doesn't even know what a poly-rythm is...

    If you think Joey is a great drummer, you're pathetic.

  • fuck being the roadie/drum tech for him

  • dude i hate his kit and i hate him and i hate his playing style

  • my only question is: how can he reach to play the bass drums??

  • check out the time lapse

    he bassicly has double bass pedals going to each of them, and they all wrap around smoothly in a circle surrounding him

    its really quite beautiful

    he also has a pedal for each hi-hat set which is a lot

  • DeSanchez if drums aren't a lead instrument then why do they have solos? omg you are a piece of shit

  • this dude have no musicality :P but he´s good at hitting stuff

  • Guy, how can you comment so much bullshit? You should go and do your homework...

    Go listen to some of Terry's solo albums, Steve Vai's Sex & Religion, and so on, not to mention Zappa...
