[ssmithflawlessbitch]

That china he is using is really ugly, but he just makes it sound good!

[CarlosMacMartin]

YEEAAAHHH!!! I LIKE THAT!!!

[MrJnazty]

[jannnne123]

I have never seen a drummer this exciting and passional while playing drums :D

[DannyXox01]

LOL spencer i love you ♥

[NikkiKitty86]

Spencer brought me here! Love him so much!

[PanicAtTheDisco0326]

Like if Spencer brought you here!!

[DickLodge68]

A legend! This guy has played with EVERYBODY! You gotta love the Purdie half-time...just brilliant. I'd love for just a sit-down or to play with this master of timing.

[RainbowSprinkles98]

Spencer brought me here XD

[sdrr10]

Spencer Smith brought you here!

[anodandawave]

Spencer loves the drums...

[schmuck924]

Witnessing the second coming. 0.0

[GrizDrummer25]

wow, Bonham really did take alot from this to make his shuffle. not saying thats necessarily a bad thing, cause if you know what to look for then you can tell the 2 apart and that each rhythm is sexy in its own way.

[4GabeArellano]

makin sound, and FEEEEEEELLLLSS...good...

[scottrap]

No white boy has this kind of groove......yes even John Henry Bonham

[benruegg]

If I die and went to heaven and I met this guy and he said he was God, I would believe him. He seems so kind and seems to be having tonnes of fun! You good sir are a legend!

[1Navle]

love is laugh! xD

[groovei]

this has made my day/week/year!

[QuietAssassins]

i think i just found my favorite drummer.

[biohazardsoldierPMK]

Press 6 for the best thing since his drumming.

[ShingleCreek]

1:51 YEAH...I like that too.

[BuffaloStylez]

Don't worry those ghosts notes! They just rebounds!... Haha.. What a master

[GeoFraX]

YEAH!! I like that

[urbanrover368]

Im surprised the world has not imploded because of the sheer amount of awesome in this guy.....

[lordofengmar]

for a heavy set black man in color clashing clothes... this is incredibly sexy. Yeah.

[AndrewX66]

This is the first time I've seen a man make love with his drums.....brings tears of joy to my eyes.

[damdas1232]

am i the only one who dont really like sound of these drums?

[FrYBaLLz]

1 person disliked this because they don't know how to play the drums.

[kleb2106]

this guy scared me with those screams at 1:29 lol and

YEAH . I LIKED THAT TOO!! lololol

[shdoug]

His toms are reversed...strange.

[fightfairfightfair]

@shdoug it can give a strange sound if you reverse the toms. I'm left handed so I reverse the kit but I leave the toms the right way round. Adds a nice twist when you let your hands 'go for a walk'.

[DannibalTheCannibal]

if this guy doesn't make you feel good inside, something is wrong with you...

[ATL8U]

OHHH! ! ! !

[thedrumman7]

To All:

I have noticed some drummers actually DOUBLE tap their snare (on the 2nd and 3rd note of each triplet rather than only on the 2nd note) during the shuffle. For a good example see MVKbzLW6HQ0 video and go to :53 into the solo and watch his left hand closely-it sounds awesome. BTW you have to set the viewing down to 240p (from the default 360p) to hear this for some strange reason. (Curious what you think!)

-Drumman

[Rawbeh]

[PacisVictus]

[madeofstone95]

Press 1:50 repeatedly if you want to giggle your tits off.

[11acornlane]

Nottin' but rebound! What an unbelievably groovy rebound. Hardest thing in the world.

[livesforcycling45454]

[speakswell]

Chuck Norris Wants His Drum Teacher Back...

[bucketambience]

I was getting pretty worried about those ghost notes for a second there, but it turns out they're just rebound. I can sleep easy now... Brilliant drummer...

[lukedawson2]

Hands down one of the finest drummers to ever grace the face of this earth.

[Davesgrooves]

This guy reminds me of the chef from south park.... he's awesome!

[mrobar113]

when you're watching him... it looks easy to play..... but when you try doing what he's doing.... man.... its much more difficult than it looks. Just a testament to how good a talent he is.... takes the tough stuff on the drums and makes it look like childs play.!!!

Awsome stuff!!!

Listen to Purdie's work on the four Orpheus albums as well as Bruce Arnold's "Orpheus Again" (available on eBay). Unbelieveable fills.

[MrLittleNel]

[droon101]

@MrLittleNel the sanre is epic man! got warmth and serious girth!

[psychoguitarist619]

He's orgasming to the beat. Wow. That's freaking awesome.

[RexVonDemon]

This guy makes love to the drums, real music is like this, with passion.

[casanodrums]

[thegreatNEb]

[ColdToiletSeats]

[rootvalue]

The only thing. Oh awesome. Hi everyone.

[Antiks72]

That's awesome. guys like this don't get enough credit.

[Wolverine51324]

i nearly came watching this

[houseofburn]

gross. but unavoidable.

[FrameSticker]

QFT.

[ginna8]

i actualy did

[jwufwuf]

You da Man Bernard !!!

[54ringo]

I like that too!

[54ringo]

The groove master. Sweet

[CKninja69]

this sounds like the beat Bonham plays on "Fool In The Rain"

[jackdouglas123]

because Bonham admittedly used basics of the "purdie shuffle"

[ctdjazz]

The beat Bonham plays on "Fool in the Rain" sounds like this.

[xdoseonex]

@ctdjazz because they're both halftime shuffle

[ctdjazz]

My post was in reply to a post that said that this sounds like the "Fool" groove. I was just asserting that the Purdie shuffle was the original, and not the other way around.

Youtube likes to not order comments logically, sometimes...

[davidjf27]

this is where bonham got it from, same as porcarro with rosanna

[ctdjazz]

Exactly.

[valentynesuite]

in fact bonham was inspired by bernie

[ctdjazz]

I know. For the last time, that's exactly the point I was trying to make.

[Brossel]

Majick003, research before say something: Jeff Porcaro didnt die of overdose... He had a heart problem that was triggered by pesticides while he was at his garden.

Purdie is the man.

[RuberHammer]

God this guy is unintentionally funny

[dantean]

You're think "this guy" doesn't know he's entertaining w his infectious humor? That he's funny only inadvertently or by accident? Interesting. You may as well know now that "this guy," as you refer to him, is the most recorded drummer in history (him or Hal Blaine). I say this since your thinking Bernard "Pretty" Purdie just "this guy" (who's funny without knowing it) suggests you've come to drums and drumming, like, last week or something. Good luck w your continued musical education.

[RuberHammer]

I know who "this guy" is, he's just unintentionally funny. It's not a bad thing and that doesn't mean he is not good or anything like that.

I was not being rude!

sorry for my english by the way!

[mcfunkyfreshhh]

hey guys, "make a sound and feel GOOOD" ; )

Yeah! I like that!

[drummerbecca]

I think you've been unnecessarily harsh, here. I didn't know who Bernard Purdie was until today. I found this video while checking out Dave Weckl and Steve Gadd, but I'm glad I discovered him and his talents. I should also point out that I've been drumming on and off for 14 years, so excuse those of us who clearly aren't as educated as you apparently are.

[KimdraculaM]

god damn i am going to do everything i can to try and play that shuffle

[blewsyboy]

also used by john bonham on led zeppelin's "fool in the rain"... sweet stuff

[Majick003]

The "Purdie Shuffle" was used by Jeff Porcaro in the great pop hit, "Rosanna". Jeff, arguably one of the greatest studio drummers in history, spoke of Purdie as one of his primary influences. Sadly, Jeff died of a drug overdose. These were/are two great influences of mine.

[ironman5454]

What an inspirational teacher !A pleasure to watch/hear. I find myself grinnin' ear to ear each and every time I listen to him.Thanks for the lessons and thanks for brightening up my day. Infectious' - in a good way ! "You've gotta a gift my friend". :-)

If only all teachers had this 'gift' !!

[runtor1988]

Wow, I can definitely tell the Russian Circles' drummer is influenced by this guy!

[thegreatNEb]

Pretty Purdie is the man....forget all those metal head double-pedlars, this is real groovin daymn

[ransaplast]

Ah man, you shouldn't talk bad about metal head double pedlars, just check out Textures before you talk like that!

[m2885the4th]

man u can really tell that this guy has a passion for the drums

[01loosenut]

I love this guy.

[ZAUTASHVILI]

After the video you get feeling like you can also play like him. He just makes you feel and love the drum. This unique video is one of my favorites on youtube.

[Nomonuies]

G'damn, this guy can GROOVE.

[StinkyTheWookiee]

I LOVE this beat!! I do the basic shuffle, but all that improv is insane! Also, I love how at no point he shows how to do it haha

[jonutarr]

[synthtron2000]
