This is almost as appealing visually , as it is aurally !

[Asymmatrix]

I do remember one thing....

[newfuckingwave]

no other 'fast drummer' uses space as well as bruford. someone like neil peart would have been trying to fill every second of this piece with notes, seemingly in an attempt to impress the audience. bruford? he may play a part simply if the song calls for it, regardless of whether or not the audience is "wowwed". of course he will then slash through the simplicity with a monsterous flourish. and that's why he' so interesting

[mybassguitarpwnsyou]

Could you imagine the list of serious musicians in his cell phone contacts!

[DoctorEeam]

One thing is certain. Bill Bruford is Bill Bruford. His style is his own and no one else. Lucky us we live in a time where we can have the experience to see and hear what real talent looks and sounds like.

[DoctorEeam]

BILL BRUFORD ROCKS LIKE FEW OTHER PEOPLE DO. He does a thing that is both original and is executed with great deal of technical and creative ability.

[MrGregles]

that is a nice kit!!!!!

[aliensunderground]

bills timing is impeccable,hes a monster thats for sure

[Jimbengoz]

Why is that weirdo slamming his head? Great, extremely technical drumming though

[corkskrewclubhouse93]

I love those crazy time signatures 

[jimmygt4]

hes so abstract and technical at the same time. cool

[galocan1]

All these people with Best Drummers and Top 10 Best drummers....just watch this and listen...

[dwilmer7]

that was so F-ING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SuperMegaUberGenius]

Seeking song Spinning Dizzy on the Dial, any help would be appreciated

[yfe24]

My definate favourite part is 1:35 - 2:38, where he mostly uses bass, snare and hi-hat. In that part it is possible to really feel the groove, and the colaboration between the drums and the riff in the background. When the drums get too flashy and fast witted, it easily separates from the rest of the rythm, but I suppose Bruford has to do a little more than bass, snare and hi-hat when he first takes seat behind the kit. Amazing anyways :D

Check out Tony Oxley's Tauton 1991 YouTube video.

Then delete this video from you memory bank.

[Tomaxzo]

@Easleytee I prefer this one.

[InsomniumX]

"Left Yes to join King Crimson" is probably all the resume a drummer could ever need : ).

[BedroomBassist]

My.. m-.. my BRAIN!! x_x (Ps. This was awesome!)

[Lyktwz]

Happy Birthday, Bill!

[GoatBeach]

Happy Birthday, Bill! Wonderful performance.

[colourfulwithaU]

Bruford is living proof that rudiments are IMPORTANT.

[mohomoho1]

There is no such thing as the greatest drummer. Yes there have been drummers such as Max,Tony and Elvin who were in my opinion very influential. Rightfully so. Lets say Max, Tony or even Elvin had a chance to play with King Crimson,would it sound the same and would it work? The same could be said for Bill Bruford sitting in with Miles. They all bring a signature sound and style to that particular music. I really love all 4 of these drummers The one who covered more genres than any other was Tony

[dkofva]

Vive la Max(well) Roach!

[SEKINEPOCHIETA]

Amazing in Japan

[ToneCapone570]

in the united states,most people always remember he was the best drummer in the band yes-fragile-,now thats a great release,but i like him better in the band called-king crimson-thats just my opinion--

[iade38]

Paco Sery= french drummer of SIXUN !

[ASeasonedWitch]

Monster drummer.

[thecrimsonking666]

Brilliant!... Bruford = Genius

[jevaderlukus]

god i love this noise

[Sidar654231]

Bill Bruford taught me more about drumming than any of my other heroes combined, but what he has done even more is influence my way of thinking about music. All the credit goes to this guy for the most valuable lessons I ever got:

1. It's about the music, not you

2. You don't HAVE to do anything, ditch your cymbals if you can't create any good music with them

3. it's not about parts on themselves, it's about the tension/difference between them, and how you jump from A to B.

[batteurfoule]

this guy is a great great great influence on all us drummers

[JeffClancy1966]

BLOODY AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Milestonzz]

I've been listening to Bruford for 30+ yrs and agree that he is indeed among the greatest of all drummers. But to proclaim that he is unsurpassed... well, have you ever so much as listened to Elvin Jones, Tony Williams or Max Roach? I met Bill many years ago and he told me that those 3 in particular were the greatest, most innovative and influential of all drummers. He regularly covers Roach's "The Drum Also Waltzes". Its okay to have favorites but blind idol worship is a terrible thing!

[sanketjariwala]

@Milestonzz well hello captain obvious! usually any great will name others as the true greats.

The point is when i asked Danny Carey who his favourite drummer was, he said Bill Bruford.

Alex skolnick said Paco Sery. you know who paco sery is?

Forget what Bill said, I think you're old enough be able to pick drummers you like. stand up for yourself and trust your ears rather than making capt obvious statements like "ok to have favourites but dont blind idol worship"

[cooliovasquez]

@Milestonzz he is truly unsurpassed though, not that he doesnt have equals

[eeobeeob]

@Milestonzz thank you for that, sums it up quite nicely.

[Malzarin]

@Milestonzz I agree but blind idol worship of the past is just as bad. Bruford looks up to the classics as you do, but there is a new generation that NEEDS idols, this is how we grow. Bill is already part of the past but he is, with Peart, one of the most important progressive drummers that rock has ever known. Like all things in music and art, seek out what calls to you then find out what called to them, then create the new.

A toast to all my fellow music devotes!

The guy in the audience who said "oh ho!" definitely knew what was coming!

[prog4evr]

Never ceases to disappoint. The man makes the drumset a 'musical' instrument!

[MrSouptits]

@prog4evr When were the drums not a musical instrument?

[hihats]

I've been listening to BB for 35 years.He never ceases to amaze and inspire me.

[crizzoesq]

Best drummer to ever live, no one comes close.

[elgordo117]

He's the damn god of the drummers... All hail bill

[LodoGrdzak]

Thats the man there.

[bonzo4380]
