Alan White Drum Solo

[s2stuges]

He's been around forever,great studio drummer and no disputing his ability, but Bruford could take his work off into some obscure dimensions and take us along with him..

[MrFritzinger]

I'm sorry but I always thought that Bruford was the better drummer, technically..

[theancient74]

John Lennon's favorite for a reason.

[billpeart]

@JoeJacari I know what you mean, but i dont know how i even understand what you mean. But...I like it!

[4001XBASS]

Alan's drumming is like the ocean. It can be as calm as can be, but then it can come crashing down on you and everything in between and beyond. Damn good drummer.

[thor19b]

Alan is beast!

[BLueDuckSwag]

the boss



[tjdrummer13]

Yes were so so so ahead of their time...most guys in the 70's were come to think of it.

[stevedrums]

To me Alan White has always been either brilliant and inspiring or boring and lazy. I actually thought some of his best work was during the Trevor Rabin years with Yes. That being said, When he's on and creative, I think he's incredibly unique.

[saarnoldbhm]

Alan is a great drummer, and the only one who seems to have practiced before going on tour with Styx this summer. Styx is blowing Yes away everywhere they go. That never would have happened with Rick Wakeman or even Oliver in the mix. But it isn't all Geoff. Steve is just noodling half the time. My God what has happened to these legends?

[dalihendrix]

lmao

phil collins got rid of him

crash bang fuck not really feeling the skins with music

[notnowjon]

like "Ritual"??? the interlude part?? ^^

[heikkala2797]

Still good!



[pryt86]

good solo i loved alan in the 70s and 80s but now adays he is fuckin horrible

[pelusaesfeo]

if there  is someone who doudth about alan`s knoledge of drumming, just try to play some yes drumming! and you `ll see

[scottmagnerod]

Fast single stroke rolls are really the essence of rock an roll drumming.....

Alan White on Relayer still amazes me. He made extremely difficult material actually swing.

Not to mention "Sound Chaser" . The first time I heard it on WNEW in New York, I was sure it was Billy Cobham because of the ferocious rolls around the Tom Toms.

That recording of those Ludwig Drums is still my favorite drum sound...

[millonety123]

lo mejor de Alan es sin duda su trabajo impresionante, dificil y no suficientemente valorado de "Tales from...". Dificil papeleta sustituir a Bruford, pero en su primer trabajo lo hizo de manera impresionante.

[mirandalangridge]

Alan gave Yes a more rocky less jazzy edge than Bill Bruford a brilliant drummer then and now!

[SeattleLA]

Fantastic, as always. Alan is one of my favorite drummers, and he lives in my city.

[babymash1]

OH MY LORD I LOVE THIS INSTRUMENT!!! FOUNDER -Babymash NZ Prog. DRUM SOLO GLENN FLETCHER

[JackBlair2]

He's way better than Bruford.

[jumpinjojo]

@JackBlair2 No way, bro.

[Satiaraha]

@JackBlair2 you should be killed for that blasphemy

[step2fiedler]

Traumhaft! 

[step2fiedler]

Scheiße, was für ein Viech!

[sebadrum16]

Alan is versatile, the fact that he sounds like a natural drummer with both Yes and his work with George Harrison and John Lennon proves that

[MICHITO62]

Todo un maestro. Uno de mis idolos.

[sinfoneura]

exelente

[superssjdan1]

Pretty darned good.He was an absolute beast in his prime..Yessongs comes to mind.The ferocity he would attack the drums with was almost unmatched by any rock drummer..before or since.

[manzanodelia]

@superssjdan1 That's a fact!!! Alan has a strong and unique style of drumming, his sound is great!!!

[thedepressentlover12]

@manzanodelia i live right down the street from Alan and i actually had the pleasure of playing with him at a summer concert at one of my good friends party's

[DarkExcision]

@thedepressentlover12 you live down the street from alan white?!

[SterlingRe]

@superssjdan1 Well put. I always thought of Alan as the much more physical drummer, and Bill as more of a technician. Both very good. Alan sounds great here.

[MysteryClown000]

What a great drummer, I love his work with Yes.

[ultimatefighter187]

i love old classic prog....alan,bruford,peart,col­lins.

[elipper]

1:46 Chris is still kneeling with his arms outstretched! I remember that from Beacon Thtre - so funny!

[davelewitt]

Clearly, Alan White is one of the great ( and the most under-rated) prog- rock drummers-

he is the heart and heart beat of one of the greatest art rock bands of all time:::::::::

Relayer still stands as one of the most musical drumming albums of the genre and one of my personal favs---

This is a great post, it's about time!!!!

check out this solo by a huge Alan White fan and the author of

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

[Ramshackled17]

[eennymo]

[MICHITO62]

Grande, genio. Sos una luz. IDOLO !!!! Me volvistes loco.

[maestromachado]

Actually there are no good Alan White`s solos videos in youtube. This video is a rare pearl, an amazing solo!!!
