[paapakobe]

Yummy! I like to see drummers go to the out-of-body state, and not get lost from the music. this is great drumming

[JazzSage23]

what a monster

[jabafreak]

4:28 merol!! \m/

[ErmingSangala]

eight times seen today and counting!!!... Looooove the fill to enter again in 1:07 - 1:13 spicy dude!!!!!

min 3:45 to the end - Avatar State!!!

[Beauxdeauxfinglok]

Man... great stuff. That's all I can really type. Great stuff. Gave me the chills like 9 times... Geez what a command of the instrument...

[Percussination]

Mark Kelso doesn't do "mistakes."

That was brilliant! You are god!

[davss5]

Excellent - and it expanded my concept of playing 7/8

[ritmomk]

At 0:29 during the last 4 beats of the 7/8 bar - what I do there is superimpose the last 2 beats of 4 beats against 3 in the 7 beat phrase. So count the first four beats of the 7 and then for the last 3 beats of the 7 count 3 against 4 (dotted 16th notes). It sounds more complex than it really is. It's not really triplets I'm afraid. Hope that helps to clarify your comments guys. All the best. MK

:O is that a mistake at 0:29? I didn't know he could make mistakes :P. now i don't feel so bad about my playing.

Then again who knows, maybe that one hesitated cross stick was intentional... but it sounded out of time to me.

Either way its a freaking animal... I just started laughing my ass of for the last 2 minutes of it.

[MilesDrum]

@powerfulpaul ... triplet phrasing, friend. Stretching the time, but not out of it.

[Borden00]

Sweeeet! I love this, interesting stuff. Awesome drummer.

[andydrums22]

Woooooo!!!!!!!

[pirri98]

I saw this guy yesterday playing with Arturo Sandoval in Montreal and he made a wonderfull team with Arturo. Arturo could not play with his musician because they mised the fligh due the snow storne in the city. Arturo played with Hilario Duran, MArk in the drums and two of Sandoval musicians, the Sax and the Base.

[colins27]

this is incredible. im trying to learn the 7/8 and this just makes me think anythings possible. thanks mark!

[leprekan987]

My mind is blown.

[JDB213]

[mattdrumscrazy]

[rhythmac]

I dont think I need to hear anything in 7/8 for a while now. lol

[polishcomedy]

this is absolutely amazing!!!!

[tylerg15]

hooo baby, I saw him perform this at Musicfest in Markham for a workshop. He brought many things to my attention that we as drummers need to remember (listening, time, feel, etc.), but yeah this was sick. Thank you, Mark!

[jakehaskll]

i can confirm it was wicked

[Bonsai006]

Man when I went into my audition at humber I was so nervous, I didn't make it this year, but I'm going to keep practising and lets hope next year I'll do better.

[Solis1112]

Yeah same, I auditioned on sax. I was pretty nervous, although i'm still waiting on news if i got in or not. (fingers crossed)

[colourfulwithaU]

Insaine .... proudly from Toronto!!! way to go guys

[drummereye]

MK is one of the reasons I took drums seriously. I used to go and see him with Montuno Police at PWD's in Yorkville back in the 80's. He always used to let me in free. Thanks for all the inspiration Mark.

Iain.

[rmp251]

Hi guys, sorry for the anger I have caused. I thought it would be obvious that I was joking but sometimes it's hard to communicate that in cyberspace. At least MK got it :)

[bogfrog321]

omfg... and u have to trade 4's with him in the audition? Is he a nice guy?

[rusamene]

beautiful work!

[joaquin101053]

What stupidity please. Who said that you keep droping a bit in Emiliano? This guy obviously doesn't know other time signatures. HELLO!!!! How you have the courage to come here and write some shit without even know what are you talking about ???!!!!

[bisquickDrummer]

good lord, what a beast! kudos!

[Northdrum]

God damn thats good bbq

[rmp251]

Mark Kelso is a really good drummer, but it seems like he kept dropping a beat in this one. Fortunately for him he's playing with top notch musicians who can show him where "1" is.

[Erotified]

Ummm... It's in 7.

[LinzDrum]

to elaborate on the other comment, 7/8 means, its ONE BEAT, away from 4/4, DUH, I mean honestly, do you think that the whole band is going to stay ONE BEAT out the whole time??? jeesh!

[goodguyjames]

yeah Im pretty sure this is a joke. NEIL! haha, you cant fool me with your cheeky username.

[markprosser]

Yup this is Mark Kelso doing his thing. Saw him do this same piece live at Montreal drum fest 2006. Drum solos don't get better than this!

[ricodanky86]

[ratamakyoo]

I studied with Mark and can tell you that he teaches as well as he plays. Dig this clip.

[dbassmon]

That's it, that's it...I'm done. Perfect way to end the day.

cudo, cudo, cudo.

[ataraxia7nostalgia]

For God's sake Mark...why must you show up EVERY SINGLE DRUMMER OUT THERE!!!! I mean come on!!!! We know we suck. hahaha

Mark Kelso...you are the best.
