Peter Erskine demonstrates a samba groove

[bruthaflo]

good sound quality.

[CFBmag]

its good to see a true drum genius actually playing a samba and not throwing random semi-cuban patterns saying its samba! Brazil thanks for the respect!

[azaviezo]

he was great in "American Beauty".

[pimpsonparade]

shiiiiit. this dude has, i don't know what i'd call them... SEX HANDS.

[DISCOFORMONEY]

He looked a little like K. Spacey when he was younger, what do you think?

[DCussen]

Oh...I get it....now I'll sound JUST LIKE that!

[TheHandsomeCrab]

i like dragonforce

[epicworld]

kevin spacey plays drums? :S

[beyongthepale]

Jesus this guy's good ... can't get over the fact he looks like he should be teaching math somewhere though.

[DOOD4108]

but literally bring the music........... to life

[rusamene]

he has a cool voice as well, reminds me of kevin spacey somehow

[bcaselato]

Isso não é samba. Erivelton Silva é samba! Um dos melholres que já vi e ouvi!

[walterdwilliams]

Everything is Timekeeping...except the video

[kayylowpez]

it's an adaptation of a brazilian rhythm called the surdo, i believe. very authentic interpretation i think.

[Audricd]

i had no idea you could play drums with a mustache.

[claurio]

his jazz drumming is really good, but this is not samba actually...

I'ts some kind of jazzy bossa nova...

Really good indeed... but it's not samba..

[PositivelyBored]

@claurio

If Erskine says it's a Samba, it is a Samba.  Give these guys their due...

[paisteguy799]

looks and sounds like kevin spacey, but thats the most authentic brazilian samba ive heard not from a brazilian

[got3215]

ah the Peter Erskine when he was still young and had hair. his hairs may turn white and fall, but the music never dies in Peter Erskine does it.

[Zombbg4]

Erskine was great in The Usual Suspects...(looks like Kevin Spacey)

[depoica]

this is the best drummer ever! he´s the beat!

[jpsilvaster]

kkk..samba de gringo é um sarro...quadradíssimo

[GGdrums]

One of my favourite drummers! Reminds me of Kevin Spacey here :-)

[andersondelan]

JOÃO BOSCO - incompatibilidade de gênios (ao vivo)

is a great band playing a great samba samba

[DangerD205]

@andersondelan Porra João Bosco...fala sério....

[andersondelan]

@DangerD205 Falei seríssimo.

[DangerD205]

@andersondelan

. Não diga o portugues falso comigo..Eu não de Portugal caralho...

..Que "seríssimo" ??

[andersondelan]

@DangerD205 português falso?? não tem nada de falso no meu português nem no que eu quis dizer.

[andersondelan]

im brazilian musician, drummer and this is not samba. if you want to hear samba, listen to a drummer named Paulo Braga, or Kiko Freitas, or Rafael Barata. sorry for my english.

[mikeleza]

nice samba feel!

[RockHistoryTube]

Look at my PETER ERSKINE video (1980).

VERY RARE and simply AMAZING!!!

With John Serry and Michael Sembello!!!

[lawtonarvin]

poor recording...but great playing.

[comaradella]

lack of black, Peter you´re great jazz drummer,

stick to it

[Helslinky]

just randomly clicked this from the side bar and this is a really good samba, not really obvious like others...Igoe.. oops did I type that my bad :)

[gouldenshow]

out of sync

[ripbridge]

heyyy Peter! Is that you? ....haha, he looks so young in this video, must be recorded at 15 years ago.

[spacitydrummer4JC]

..what is the title of this dvd?

[SuperChuck3]

Check the description, it's Everything Is Timekeeping.

[stroketheboat]

Dont know about anyone else, but I cant hear the bass drum on this at all - poor recording??

[anonymus002]

well the bassdrum is hearable^^

maybe your speakers are just cheap or u didnt listen carefully enough.

[darkoanton5]

I can hear them really well.

[doublethumpbass89]

awsome playing!!!

[sesseguro]

erskine workshop on next 21 july - see at DOREMILLA ORG!!!

[mightykong101]

caralho, esse ai swinga.... umas 1000 vezes melhor que o dave weckl

[jamtoim]

I am a brazilian musician and I got to say that his way of playing samba is actually very good...especially the break on the end of the video

[jw22345]

@jamtoim I am a white musician (lol throwin a curveball) and I have to say I agree... Even though he's not really delving too far into the realms of latin jazz drumming he really laid down a good groove that at least for me, epitomized the groove I think of when I think about the samba.

[Da7xT]

damn he sits low on is throne... his legs almost go at an upward angle lol

[osborneddotcom]

he doesn't sit low, his height is perfect. your thighs should be flat.

[ludwig222]

The video is 2 beats AHEAD of the sound !

You should repost.

[itsgone2]

wow i like the sound of that... i might write a song around that samba feel now.

[34lcfn]

Peter Erskine é o cara, só que este samba ai é de japonês, kkkk

[jotatronxo]

q porra é essa?!?!?!?!!?? aahahahaahaah

[sweetfly66]

thats great ... and to stoop down to your level maybe people should tell you spicks not to play rock music .. or to put it another way ... fuck you

[sweetfly66]

its ok for you to call white people gringos and mock them for the way they play samba but when someone throws a racial slur back at you and mocks the way you play rock then you have a problem with it .... please , your double standard is outrageous

[PhukkOfff]

Both terms are derogative, you should refrain from using them.

-Stay classy.

[shlempnar]

I LOVE YOU!!!

[Drumming2thelord]

being a spick myself I must say that I completely agree with you sweetfly66.

typical of spanish people being racists.

[trabilsio]

que bosta de samba em gringo !

[fezesbatera]

ai..ai..!!!

...desculpa..ms que samba tosco!! acho que até eu faço melhor...

[AllUsernamesUsedUp]

Good video! A bit short and the audio and image didn't match most of the time, but cool all the same.

[israeldig]

Samba BRAZILLLLL!!!!!!!!

BRAZILLL futbol!!!

BRAZILLL Samba!!!

[lusantanadruns]

È bom saber Q todos qrem tocar samba + o negocio e jazz e fision valeu atentativa ok????????????????

[madchops82]

nice samba...good use of the floor to imitate surdo

[kiko1401]

E perter Erskine o legal seu é só o JAZZ... aliás num é legal é exelente, mais o samba deixa com nois os BRAZUCAS ( brasileiros) o seu samba tá muitoo durooo.. o famoso sama de gringoo| LOL..

[polahrussian]

gringo maldito... nem sabe oq é samba

[filitalian]

video is too quiet and too short. You have a longer version?

[Patrick323]

din-ga-dak-a,din-ga-dak-a. din-ga is swung, dak-a is straight.

[kirk7524875248]

I don't get why you have two negative marks. But, then again, I don't get a lot of things, ha ha! So why the negative marks for your "din-ga-dak-a" phrase. Actually, that means nothing to me anyway. "Din-ga-dak-a?" What the fuck is that? Apparently, there are a lot of frustrated drummers out there! Hey, guys, get a life! Din-ga!!!!

[ecamstatus]

and you, brunoventurim, go play heavy metal

[thebandAsWeAre]

heavy metal rules!!!!!!!!!

[plopenstien]

@ecamstatus

hety amn nothing wrong with metal. each style of drumming has its own merits and disadvantages

[isaacvelasquez31]

It sounds like that because of the quality of the video not because of the way he tunes it.

[jazzalami]

I like the dry sounding kickdrum!

[jazzpoliceman]

and I like the floor tom: too, boom boo boom - pa doo gumm boo boom... :)

this is the real samba groove, a basic one, old school example how to play before you start to think of different ways of playing something based on samba.

Peter the great!
