Kieth Carlock is the MAN!!!

[ocdrumboy1]

yes indeed 'unprecidented' these guys are on a completely other level... and its a privelege to have some of their trio stuff on dvd... this rippin carnage has been goin on for over 10 years however this is some of the first video footage. unless you get to catch em on a random night in nyc your outta luck when it comes to seeing them live!  the 55 bar shows are amazing and they very close to perfection in such a random groovin drippy funk sophisticated genuine way. so yes unprecidented :)

Speed vs style...for speed I would pick guys like Travis Barker (vomit), Joey Jordison, and Mike Portnoy...(I LIKE portnoy...don't care for Jordison, and hate travis)...but when it comes to style...guys like Keith, Steve Jordan, and Steve Gadd rule. let's not forget Bernard Purdie.

Good musicians. A rare thing in today's music environment..............MTV has ruined everything

@sweetfly66 I guess thats just my opinion.. this guy obviously has some chops. and alot of people like him. Both our opinions are 100% valid. I just have a different preference. Plus i think the visual style does hand in hand with having a great sound. Some of myy favorite drummers are Danny Carey, Tomas Haake, Navene Koperweis, Vinnie Colaiuta, Royster Jr... Just checkout ther technique. and you'll know what im talking about.

@sweetfly66 you are right about the ears. i dont think its tasty. I think it sounds mechanical and square. Like DEVO, except thats what they were going for. your' right, people do use different techniques and thats ok. sometimes you have to go with what feels natural. other times you have to discipline yourself to learn something proper because it will give you a wider range of control in the future. But now that i've watched it again, he doesn't have the tonal control that Gadd and Mayer have

[sweetfly66]

@gorgoroth777 ..... Yours is a very unfortunate stance . Technique , at least on drumset , is different for everyone . You have Keith and his sort of finger control / moeller method ... tommy igoe who keeps everything real low , Gadd who keeps it low as well , Jo Jo Mayer who does it all french , german , moeller , wrist , finger control .... but the most importantly , you are using your eyes to evaluate Keith ... use your ears and you`ll see his technique works just fine .

[gorgoroth777]

I hate the way this guy holds his sticks...

I guess it works for him. But no one learning how to play drums should Ever hold sticks like that. Strokes come the arm and wrist i.e. moeller technique... and not from the fingers. You especially can't control accents by clasping the stick with index and thumb... unless you want joint problems. This is as unattractive as watching a white guy dance.

Up and down and most importantly, we've got this diagonally shaped connection which when traced backward helps to see the vertical and horizontal lines on a cubicle plane. So once you connect the dots in a circle you can then move in any direction you want so long as the perpendicular lines aren't drawn too far off the page!

@avedisdrummer989 basically, hes talking a lot of shit and making conversation about nothing. haha.

0:50 Holy sh*t! Now that's how you mix dynamics and speed together... this guy is incredibly smooth.
