[abraxacdefg]

great

[rafik2sof]

Youtube is a Sample's Library !

[shantibabou]

too bad the video sucks that much ! I wish I coiuld have properly seen him playing !

Filming with such little consideration a "living god of music" is a shame !

[euvdenis]

@shantibabou you need ears, not eyes

[pkdrums]

this is some of the most refreshing music I have heard in a while. Would love to experience this group live!

[Steeltowner]

gran maestro!

[Pixelotron]

Nobody disliked this video... Even neo-nazis love that groovy juicy joint.

[MrsKeylum]

i'll see him tonight :)

[pokerrear]

his style is the shiit

[TheNunuza]

Just have to see him live again'' Love Master Allen

[Jamhet22]

I watch this before bed to get me loosened up. It's like a glass of whiskey for me.

[lordoid]

Is a release on Vinyl in planning?

[aero105]

i dont think anyone plays as natural sounding as allen.

[ruben1956]

@aero105 Yes, i love his sound too.

[MANDRILLBLUES]

waste of energy = 0 % , optimal creative output , that's the way

[mikeygeneral]

How the fuck does he roll like that with one hand?

[CrispyXR]

@mikeygeneral GRAVITY BLAST!!! :D

[TheComposer1979]

@mikeygeneral he use finger let finger behind hand than blance the stik let it hit bit hard to explain ;)

[SuperBuntz]

he give the music so much feel and mood

[shoegazerjoy]

crazy shit. yes. anyone konows what song tim played?

[DropMasta]

hypnotizingly good

[hamdigidy]

this is fantastic

[greenfruitface]

He looks like he's half asleep, or completely bored. But of course what he plays is amazing. The guy is one of my favorites.

[lordoid]

Never heard a drummer sounding so good....wow. Pure feeling.

[discofeel]

Where can I find this track? I have searched on line but I couldn't find it.

[mobiusline1]

two things:

1. I always knew that sebastian tellier's "la ritournelle" drums were sampled from real drums. It's a really satisfying to finally find out that it's so and also find the original drummer

2. I'm really studying tony's stuff after this!

[kofianonym]

this man......it's so.....musical. I met him in person, cool guy

[bmjamz]

Amazing.. The ease and precision with which he plays is awesome.

[Streamline09]

It would be graet to have a drum summit with groove masters Tony Allen and Clyde Stubblefield -- among others.

[clancywiggam]

As a bass player this guy is like dream come true. Why can't all musicians bring down the volume. The Who has a lot to answer for! Hahaha.

[Shitfuckerino]

@clancywiggam The Who have nothing to answer for. Moon & Allen, two totally different approaches to music.

[mdgab321]

real old-schoolish drumming and sound, great!!

[Satiaraha]

his style is so elegant

[Streamline09]

Great! Has Mr. Allen ever encountered James Brown, Miles Davis or Common. I would love to know what those conversations were like. Is Carlos on this track? Thanks.

[frank0072]

wow, he plays so 'soft and tender', that's a real challenge for me, to play that relaxed and soft :-)

[Mononcsteph]

@frank0072 And it's so satisfying when you reach that level of relax and ease ; inspiration for improv seems to appear by itself. Those guys (Tony, Jack de Johnette, etc.) changed my whole perspective. I had never enjoyed the brutal style in the first place but was self-taught so I pretty much played by instinct and just BEAT those skins like they had done something wrong. lol

[drumminggod91]

what a baller. i kinda love this a lot.

i just wish he looked a little less lifeless when he played xD

[Madrrrrrrrrrrr]

100% pure concentration. This man is still as round as can be in my book.

[kathleen8131]

omg this is amazing.........few seconds in and I'm already lovin it!

[JimmyKadesch]

so cool. I'm so glad md just featured Tony. He plays himself, it's awesome.

[contents7]

unreal, i have a new drumming idol

[AlmostEthical]

mee too :)

[eysteinsson]

Fantastic !!
