[migsdrummer]

[TintedRedFilms]

@XichigoX414 LOL. Hey, Angus.

[ilovelamp457]

steve jordan is the best drummer hes brilliant!

[XichigoX414]

[MrPocketGroover]

@XichigoX414 its a yamaha DaxDad 12" its a discontinued drum. they sound amazing but you had to have deep pockets to buy one!

[auladebateria]

UUUUAAAAAAAAAUUUUUU!!!!!!!!

[willstudio]

Demais!!!!!

[stylerprofyler]

love how the tempo slows down round the middle.

[live4mu6]

Sounds a lot like their cover of D'angelos "Brown Sugar"

[MrMARVIN1952]

Steve let's the music breathe.............ow that bass drum!

[LukeGaulMusic]

apparently this was played the day after it was uploaded ... just saying

[xxwantedxx]

i wanna play with steve one day.

[hatakewolf01]

"FEEL THE POWER"... look at that groove

[rippmyass]

Sweet.

Check out my channel to hear my guitarplaying, got a jam with myself, and my own song recorded in studio. :) Thanks!

[daterminator70]

Check dat kick...mean

[shadetyped]

what kind of kit is that?

[spaghettiandmeatball]

Watch my videos for John Mayer covers!! :)

[scottyboy1928]

I just bought drums.

[drum333cory]

the snare has some spank

[TheJordandrums]

does anyone know what snare drum is he using here?

[TheSingolarmente]

@TheJordandrums The snare is a vintage Ludwig Downbeat 4x14, gold sparkle finish.

[toninodrumlecce]

yeahhhh...

[ludwigsupra]

yeah, hot sauce.

[element1120]

110% grooooooovey

[DreadsMgee1960]

I'm pretty sure Steve Jordan just made sex into the purest form of sound ever recorded on any known percussion instrument.

[rinuextreme]

@DreadsMgee1960 I'm pretty sure he's the result of that intercourse :)

[mhatton1000]

@tinyvirus Steve Jordan has a signature cocktail kit and he uses the kick from it horizontally with a subkick

[joeapsilva]

@mhatton1000 That's not true.

The kick is a Yamaha Daxdad. It has nothing to do with Steve Jordan Cocktail kick except from the manufacturer (yamaha).

[MalusCarmen]

Where do I find a Drum Genius like this for my Trio John... sheesh! You are an amazing musician surrounded by amazing musicians!

[tinyvirus]

what kind of kick is that oO?

[BLdrummer740]

@tinyvirus

Looks like a cocktail kick with a yamaha subkick.

That's the only explanation I have for that beast.

[MegaPhonebooth]

very good timing

[TheblackbirdsSC]

Steve Jordan is god. He has so much groove and listen to that playing behind the beat! ahhh! soo tight! him and my boy John Mayer together make me straight jizz everytime i hear a note played

[bonhampala]

notice how around 0:14 he works the cissy strut groove in? dead cool

[lawearth]

"WWWOOOWW" your tttiiiimmmmiiinnnnnnggggg.....­................... what can i say

[BradleyJonSanders]

I want to be like Steve Jordan!!!

[ThreeChordGuitar]

One of the best drummers in the business right there.Masterful.

[dragonslayerbebo]

what is the name of the drummer?

[MrPocketGroover]

@dragonslayerbebo steve jordan

[eastside3673]

solid as diamonds

[tinyvirus]

whats the bass drum called?

[kittie5252]

Great drummer and I love him. Awesome that he supports JM. They make the best team.

[Fender2382]

I personally don't see the point some of you people even watch a john Mayer affiliated video..if you're just going in with the intent to trash him.

[coreytynan]

This drummer is the frickin man! lol

[pds0911]

oh my steve jordan is there... he is a killer drummer!

[AlikSmirnov]

Is that his Cocktail Drum System kick but on the horizontal as opposed to vertical. Weird, sounds good though

[AlikSmirnov]

What kick is that??? Wow

[sixstrings2]

I don't think a musician can be called overrated because they are chosen by peoples tastes, I think only athletes can be overrated....

[shsdancer657]

My favorite drummer of all time! =)

[trevolena]

love it. if anybody has time please check out my cover. weve never played together before but some feedback would b greatly appriciated. The vid is on my channel, i only have two vids on ther so it should bv easy to find lol

[MMMuller]

Keith Carlock is the current touring drummer for John Mayer.

[BaDeeRich]

What size hats does Steve use ? They seem like there at least 16"

[mdgab321]

@BaDeeRich he uses 17" (!!)

[mdgab321]

this was just brilliant!

[RiverKanoff]

Check out that kick drum!

[niyomax100]

nice black and white video  realy amazing and steve jordan is a good drummer and verry carm

[lincolnboyd2915]

"cool"

[ampardey]

I wish Waiting on the world to change would actually sound like this

[Vr0l1jk]

How can anybody possibly better than him?

He's a freaking genious!

[Ruinous]

Mayer's tour drummer is so much better. I'm not really sure why Jordan is so overrated

[PattleProductions]

wrong

[thompska]

@Ruinous Steve Jordan IS Mayer's tour drummer at the moment. And if you're thinking about his drummer from some previous tours, JJ Johnson, he's good, but doesn't even begin to hold a candle to some of the things Steve Jordan puts down.

[Fabouss]

@Ruinous uh, dude, are you retarded ? Mayer's tour dummer IS Steve Jordan, so how could he be better than himself ? oh and by the way, he's far from being overrated, he's actually one of the great blues drummer out here.

[Ruinous]

@Fabouss I was referring to his previous tour Drummer..during the Heavier Thing, Continuum tour. What makes him great? Because he's black? He doesn't bring anything that should classify him better than another blues drummer let alone of all time. Plus the majority of Mayer's base isn't a fan of him because of his "blues" sound so he should also quit over emphasizing the blues style of playing

[Fabouss]

@Ruinous Dude, John Mayer is emphasizing on the blues style because he's the only young musician that still play that wonderful music style, and because blues fans love it, and also because music needs it, so that blues doesn't die. And the reason why he keeps Steve Jordan as a drumer, it's not only because he's a better drumer than your JJ Johnson, but also because he's a better virtuoso, so a better composer, and if you have noticed, Battle Studies as been produced by Mayer AND Jordan.

[normnwnmn]

steve jordan got so much groove. I love him!

[lemansz]

The funny thing is...

John Mayer knows SATIRE....

somethign most dont..

Who wants to party after tomorrow nigghts show in ATL? St Pattys Day.

Late night at Fados!

bing bang boom!

[3gypt1an]

Read the Rolling Stone interview...he totally predicted this EXACT thing happening to him.

I think he feels guilty of being so rich, white and soulful -- and he's now the robber who can't resist going back to the scene of the crime only to get busted.

Throw it all away John...but not the moment..

[XxSamanthaRocksxX]

You don't have a big penis.

[skyleracoustic]

you're gonna comment camera work lol? what amazes me about mr. jordan is that i just can't channel in to what he's thinking... i'm a guitar player, but gosh he is pure genious.

[joleennaughton]

Who did the camera work???? Amazing use of clarity and B+W...DamNNNN

[andrewguitar67]

@joleennaughton Probably John. That's probably Robbie you hear playing the slide guitar in the background, so I would assume that John is behind the camera.

[bjhMus1C]

@joleennaughton could have been JM.. he's into that kind of stuff :p

[MiniDaab]

@joleennaughton i know it's late, but i'm guessing this 13th witness guy.

watch his tumblr..

[BurnsidesMusic]

Such a tight groove. Steve stays in the pocket like no other. Love this video

[theclarkhome]

lol John Mayer is such a racist metro faggot.

[misundrstdify]

OH!!!  Who says we can't hook up and fake love for an hour or so? He is just mmm

[Oxtrack26]

PEACE!!!!!!!! Thats an awesome groove by the waY!

[tashamia]

now see I've heard black men say that. but that's accepted?it's OK for black men to say they don't like being with black women but for any other race, how dare they not find black women as not their type.really? now personally i think mayer's missing out. but that's his choice. as far as the n word goes, i'm not happy that he used the word but i'm not happy when anyone uses the word. here's a hint black people, you want white people to stop using it, then you stop using it.

[tashamia]

it'd be one thing if he went in that interview and said " i don't fuck black women cause their all loud, and they wear weaves and their all on welfare". now see that's offensive. but what did i see , because unlike it seems most people that have the most to say about it, i actually read the entire interview and he said nothing like that. as i recall he said he finds some black women beautiful, he's just never fucked any. OK. I've never had sex with a Arab guy. does that mean i should be hated?

[tashamia]

god people seriously chill the heck out. he said the n word. wow. who the fuck doesn't say it. most rap music if you sit an listen will say it about 20 times in the duration of one song. and before anyone says anything i actually am a black woman, the group that should be the most offended but guess what? I'm not. personally i don't care. you know why i don't care? cause I'm not listening to his music in the hopes that i can fuck him one day. i listen to it because i like it.

[HappyInHeels]

I JUST SAW HIM LAST NIGHT at the verizon center in DC. this guy was AMAZING!

[Johnyoungf]

this video isn't about John Mayer he's making history about steve jordan right here. This is something that people are gonna watch about Steve Jordan for years to come. Focus on Steve not John.

[AsianWalker]

what did he say? :O

[nativehero]

that's so sad and disappointing...i do really hope he did'n mean it this way everybody thinking...shame on him...what would Steve Jordan think???

[THUGGINBUNDLES]

Fuckin white bread douche bag

[andrwrhds21]

John, despite anything you've said, I think your an amazing musician. You're a huge inspiration to me as a guitarist, I've been playing for two years and I can't wait till I am as good as you are....and I will be. (I practice HARD :) )

I found several hendrix covers you've done. Ever thought about covering "Izabella"? specifically the Live at Fillmore East Version. It's my favorite Hendrix Song.

Also, I'll get to see you and other legends at the crossroads festival this June and I can't wait

[RedSkullthagreat]

FUCK JOHN the racist MAYER, right up his LILY WHITE ASS, I bet Dave Chappelle wants to take back his invite,as well as Herbie Hancock & everybody else. It just goes to show where white ppl's minds are at all times. When the weather is good,then we are equals,but as soon as things don't go good for white folks,then we(blacks) are some niggers & this & that. Even if we just had you over for dinner. Look how the country is doing President Obama,total disrespect.

[mikeabecerra]

Making drum beats into art.

[jandahebb]

You are a pig John Mayer.....I will never watch one of your shows again.

[AsianWalker]

wait i dont get it, why is everyone hating on john?

[RedSkullthagreat]

@AsianWalker -Are U serious? Google it,then after u read about it thoroughly,and U STILL don't get it,then U NEVER will.

[spokentruth1980]

WOW i have just thrown out all albums from John Mayer. Being stupid is no excuse to say such hurfull words. He is not an idiot, it is clear that he has issues with himself. How does someone articulate so much hate in one sitting. John Mayer you need to be held accountable for the things you have said. You are dead to me, that may not mean much coming from one person but im sure their are many people that feel the same way. Your disgusting and need help.

[aaea25]

fuck you John mayer u better shut the fuck up....Im unsubing

[higgyfoo]

i found out earlier on that steve jordan is 53 years old!!!!!!!!!! at first i wasn't sure but i saw gary novak talking about him and i was like as if!

[supergro]

no way! ! ! He's playin really well considering his age. I thought that he was in his early 40s

[higgyfoo]

he plays mint lol i bought john mayers dvd, where the light is and i thought steve jordan was amazing and i thought he was only in his 30's! how wrong was i!! lol

[caramelkidd]

Put a mic in front of John if he's performing but the second he's stopped then take it away. This douche will tear his own career apart.

[alyssamwbc]

@caramelkidd Funny... He's had one of the most successful tours this year. If that's the result of tearing his career apart then he must've had quite a following originally. And you know, it's really nice of you to call the guy a douche on his own channel. I guess being protected by the anonymity of the internet really appeals to you. I'd bet a thousand bucks you wouldn't say that to his face if he were standing next to you.

[caramelkidd]

@alyssamwbc...actually I would say it to his face. Get off his penis because he can sing.

[alyssamwbc]

@caramelkidd You're an idiot. To be that rude to a person you've never met says a lot about you. It says you have no respect or tact. Lord knows your last eloquent statement just SCREAMED mature adult. GROW UP.

[caramelkidd]

@alyssamwbc..you're proving the same about yourself dumb ass. Use some common sense next time before commenting on my ideas about an idiot like Meyer. I say what I say because of the arrogant things he does. I have read and heard enough to conclude what I think of him.

[alyssamwbc]

@caramelkidd My rudeness began as a result of yours... And we all know that what the media prints is always the true story, right? I forgot that they're infallible and always honest. My bad. Enough of this bs. You're a waste of my time.

[caramelkidd]

@alyssamwbc..the media didn't print anything that had me in uproar..it was the racist comments he made in playboy. all they did was quote him

[PlayWhatsNotThere]

@caramelkidd meh yeah he says stupid things but doesn't everyone? he created this music that alot of people fell in love with. He's obviously not racist he has said in countless interviews that he respects steve jordan so much and come on he's going to tear his own career apart? he made his career.

[ohelloeveryone]

@caramelkidd fuck you.

[caramelkidd]

@ohelloeveryone I recognize his music talent but you've gotta be just as ignorant to defend him. It shows how educated you are at your response.

[terminaljim]

john ..... stand in a corner by yourself and ask if it smells weird??? do it bro! i really getb ur playing but u got to sort it man......hide n learn

[terminaljim]

john is a fantastic player but as with all good things, he is too imature to handle himself.....nothing is perfect and he pays the price of himself but doesnt get it......let him play with the gift and get older n wiser....yeah john u stink with your views n drunk on ur shit brother.... can you dig it?

[ireneobeng]

john mayor is such a dick head for making those remarks about jen aniston, and j.simpson.  who does he think he is ?

[Akang389]

steve jordan is the mothafuckin' man!

[GlamRockinRon]

Cool...I just saw John on the late show last night and will be seeing him Feb 6th...Jacksonville Fla. My wife's Birthday present

[supergro]

Lucky guy! I wish he would come to Orlando!

[supergro]

Man I wish that I could jam or get lessons from Steve Jordan one of these days man! He's so groovy, and I'm definitely feeling this pocket right now!

[kdssaa1]

Steve Jordan is one of my heroes:))He's absolutely gorgeous drummer,handsome men beside John too.Just wanted to say great job guys:)) :**

[MrBangmaker]

Bass drum to die for!!!!!!!!!

[oliverandm]

Steve is craaazy!

[johnmayerhendrix]

John Mayer ROCKS

[donnazoll]

How-do? Just thought I would mosey on over and say Thank You for coming to San Diego and playing the Annual Holiday Review at the Copley. Emily Post may be turning over in her grave at the tardiness of my appreciation, but the pony express still lives. The JM3 has a big sound for three dudes. It was amazing to see the virtuosity with which you each played your instruments. What a sweet little private concert feel it had. Hope yall have a great year and come back soon.

[aronkarmusic]

Love the way pino says cool at the end

[daDruMM3r]

steve is a great great drummer!!

i love the way he grooves....

[OwensMusic1]

make more!

[Flowerpointa]

amazing:D!!!!!

[MrJacAnk]

Steve Jordan is my all time favorite drummer, all of his subtle things inspire me to play like him. I hope some day I can reach his level.

[musicmenberlin]

absolutely share your opinion!

[dancTDC]

What bass is that? small dog, big Bark!!!

[ripbridge]

That's a 12"*22" "cigar box" Bass drum by Yamaha....unique sound!

[drummerking118]

I LOVE this, does anybody know if I can download it anywhere? Or if it will be played live?

[gimicoffee83]

damn. keep Steve Jordan and get rid of that other dude lol...Steve is the shit.

[ThinkingApe3000]

No wonder John Mayer sounds so good, he's got STEVE JORDAN on the drums!!!!

[Gokon9224]

That was awesome, Steve Jordon is an awesome drummer.

And to all you guys saying John Mayer is dead, when he comes out with another album, I'll send you a thousand messages all containing hateful words.

[stefanod2402]

both of JM's drummers are alive, JJ Johnson and Steve Jordan. idk what you guys are talking about

[Ethonadon10]

john didnt die his drummer did.

[zombywoof112]

huh.?

[DreadfulSolemnity]

I heard he had a big cock.

Not that I would know or anything.

[dani3lnp]

All you people dissing Mayer or anyone else will die as untalented fools. Have you no hobbies or passions besides ridiculing those who work so hard to become who they want to be? I wish I had this world we're different sometimes.

[Gokon9224]

@dani3lnp I see were both waiting on the world to change.

[thadopeman]

God I hate John Mayer, he really is a cunt.

[AnonymousWhitePerson]

If only I could have just sniffed John's butt, one last time.

[AnonymousWhitePerson]

RIP.

He had a big Cock, I heard. Uh, not that I would know or anything.

[DreadfulSolemnity]

RIP John Mayer.

[IsraelGypsyDrummer]

What´s that snare?

[lem0ne]

@IsraelGypsyDrummer Looks to me as a Ludwig Downbeat snare

[IsraelGypsyDrummer]

Gracias

[mogaamogaa]

how can it be on 11.16.09 if the video was uploaded on 11.15.09?

[supercrazyblondeguy]

Different Time Zones i guess. I dunno

[espshred1988]

steve jordan is awesome!

[Lennart1337]

No one drums like Jordan!

Good stuff!

[johnmayerhendrix]

Monster drummer !

[boweandarrow]

killer groove

[wickedwatwat1]

this is the jam ya'll did that :)

[NewMusicSpacequake]

This isn't the way the guitar is played on the studio version, is it? I never noticed this before, it's awesome.

[OneWorldVideoSong]

Blues, Rock You name it! James Beck

[ARocketToTheStars]

0:55 he fuckin looks just like denzel washington

[YoungDueceCOM]

Amazing.

[CHoskins7]

Steve Jordan, you rock. Don;t ever let anyone bring you down. John Mayer and his band rock and are the best. Keep it up!

[davidcarr90]

Sounds like Rivieras Paradise by SRV

[tissuechang]

This new breakdown thing he does with waiting on the world to change is awesome though, I don't like it when he comes in with the big L-5 I think it is and starts coming through it, it's too soft, I feel he needs something with a bit more power to play over this, than again, he's probably got a lot more insight on this so I feel kind of stupid giving my opinion :P

[christiandx3]

this reminds me of breathe from pink floyd...

steve jordan is the man..

[can0dan]

god i want a ludwig downbeat snare... but i really want a blaemire w/ that hardware in the same config!!!!
