  • A great drum lesson by Bernard "Pretty" Purdie. Mainly about playing ghost notes and grooving with 16th notes. Great clips of BPP playing with hands on the drums and talking at the same time in rhythm. Classic! Learn The Purdie Shuffle here: • FIRST DRUM LESSON - HO...

    This video teaches us all what is in my opinion the most important thing a musician should ever learn: to feel PHYSICAL PLEASURE while hearing the sound of the instrument you're playing.
    If you don't feel it, you're not really making Music. You're just playing an instrument. And it must NOT be that stupid ego-driven pleasure ('omg i am playing so great!"), but an actual physical, inexplicable wave of sheer pleasure, the same one you get with really good food or with really good sex. Or with really good music! :)!!!
    This physical pleasure Bernard Purdie is feeling while playing is patently obvious in this video, where he's actually acting as a Pleasure Transmitter: we cannot help by sharing his pleasure with him!! It's actually impossible to watch this video and not feel pure joy!! :)!!!!

    • @kenaestheticfm
      @kenaestheticfm Před 5 lety +2

      Amen. Reminds me of an idea in Victor Wooten's book, "The Music Lesson". The "Music" comes from the musician not the instrument. A musician can play Music with ANYTHING. Joy comes from playing WITH the instrument- playing WITH Music, and that joy is contagious. What's that Funkadelic line? "Loan me your funky mind and I shall play with it; for nothing is good unless you play with it."
      Fly on.

    Gotta love this man. His timekeeping and groove are perfect, very musical and extremely useful - and he was (and continues to be) a huge influence on drummers like the late great Jeff Porcaro. This is the real deal, not some pompous showoff who sonstantly sells himself until we want to barf.

    • @bryanstarkweather
      @bryanstarkweather Před 9 lety +1

      This is so true. It never really struck me till you said it. Porcaro was very similar in that way, as are Coaliuta and Gadd. No huge kits with silly effects, and stupid gimmicks, just great playing.

    • @ChristianSchonbergerMusic
      @ChristianSchonbergerMusic Před 9 lety +1

      Bryan Starkweather
      I must say that I also love Gavin Harrisson. He has some more gimmicks on his kit but not many (some more cymbals, the rest and his playing technique (matched grip, cross handed, no fuzz) are standard and he is definitely one of the worlds best. He has mind bending chops, but Purdie definitely was an influence on him. Purdie was one of the great pioneers and I like him so much ore than, say, Buddy Rich with his overkill playing. Purdie manages to let it breathe and is exactly at the point between impeccable timekeeping and groove.

    • @bryanstarkweather
      @bryanstarkweather Před 9 lety +3

      Christian Schonberger I don't know him, but I have to say, Buddy Rich does have his place. Yeah, he was a jerk, I know a couple guys who play with though, nobody seems to have liked him. There are a couple other guys like convention under the same umbrella as Purdie: John Robinson, for example is an absolutely phenomenal groove player. A little more flashy, Simon Phillips is definitely underrated as well. Everybody has their place, if there were only one type of player, the world wouldn't be very interesting. That being said, when it comes to my personal preferences, I like a guy like Purdie.

      Bryan Starkweather simon phillips definitely is a groove player, but he comes from the billy cobham school.
      you can easily tell not just by listening to everything he did throughout his carreer but also when you take a look at his drumkit.
      simon phillips, vinnie colaiuta, terry bozzio, dennis chambers, narada michael walden, dave weckl, etc. are all hugely influenced by billy cobham and already admitted it many times actually.
      someone like the incredible master session drummer larrie londin would be more of a bernard purdie type of groover, especially his motown work.
      john robinson, steve gadd & carlos vega too of course, all awesome drummers!
