The sound of that snare is incredible.
My thoughts exactly
And there's no tip on his stick.
@@jessecerasus9621 He's holding it upside down to have the larger end hit the drum
@@jakekatzsound I know.
Nice head, tuned up, miked & mixed well, & played with the butt end of the stick.
He sounds even better with those sunglasses on!
In his last Drumeo Live he said “Screw up BPM! It must be FPM, feel per minute. In the place I played the only click you could’ve heard is BANG! from a pistol” Something like that. He is so cool 😎
Love how he talks about all the nuances of the drumming on the original recording.
Love this guy. He has an amazing aura on the drums and as a person. Cool dude, amazing drummer and teacher!
Saw BB King live around 2010. It was incredible. Before BB came on stage, the band just jammed for like 20 minutes. Insane musicians.
My grandfather used to play this song/album when taking me to school. I didn't know how good that I had it until I grew up, following my grandfather's and BB King's passing. Such an iconic song!
People underestimate how hard it is to play a strong consistent groove like this. Just as hard as nailing all the fills on a Rush tune.
When I was in a blues band a few years ago. I studied this track forever to get every accent correct and I will never play this song any different. I love the sound of the pause on the snare. Was always my favorite song to play live.
If you ask Tony Coleman how long he’s played with BB King, he’ll tell you “since I was a size 18 waist”. I heard him say that to someone interviewing him while walking through Casino Rama in Orillia, Ontario several years ago. Funny guy! Phenomenal drummer to boot.
I love his comment "you play in the pocket and you get something in your pocket"
Thanks Tony and Drumeo , I am playing this in four days time and now I finally got the start sorted . A lot better then our guitarist telling me "it's just rat a tat tat tat ".
I’ve been struggling with a solid opening for over a year. Can’t wait to dive into this deeper and feel more confident!
ur guitarrist know rat shit about drums
The kick is crucial
Evolving
When you hear or read about jazz players saying “know when not to play” this is what they are talking about. I know it’s more blues and rock, but he’s leaving out a natural snare hit on the beat to emphasize it when it’s there and let the song breath. Just beautiful
That was so smooth! The great Bruce Lee said .... " be like water" And it applies to everything !
Love B.B. King, Charlie Musselwhite, Gary Moore, John Lee Hooker, etc! Blues man! And i am 90% into metal, but love blues, since i was a kid.
My dad loves this song. I am going to show him this today!
Legendary song. Makes me happy everytime I hear it.
Incrível.
Em 2023 tive o prazer de assistir ao vivo essa lenda da bateria.
Um show inesquecível.
Fun fact: I met TC at a small music festival about 15 years ago. He was happy to talk drums with me and was such a cool and nice guy. I’ve been asked before if I’ve ever met anyone famous and he is the only person that comes to mind.
Just beautiful, favourite song, loved the walkthrough of the drum part. You were nicely tucked into that pocket.
Video 50 of commenting until Drumeo makes a "Best Rudimental Drummer of the Year" award category
Love this guy. He's chilling and vibing and got that groove down. Thanks....❤
I saw bb king about a decade ago in winnipeg. It wasn't the longest concert but he had hilarious stories. This song hit so hard.
What an amazing personality. And what a groovemaster.
Loved every second of this!
Insane snare sound 😮
Yeah, that kit and style of play is like the definition of Boom Bap. Sounds amazing.
His kit and playing is sooo 👌 RIP BB King.
Nice one Tony .Lovely groove.Ace playing .Very very tasty!
Cheers Drumeo.
Tony is one cool dude! Very nice man and always willing to share his knowledge. If your a blues player, you really need to listen to Tony.
*SIMPLES,OBJETIVO,SEM FIRULAS...SERVINDO A MÚSICA!*
*TOP!!!*
This is a boss level song.
That backbeat just slaps.. Like a sample every time.. 💥🔥
My first band covered this tune. I lived in Detroit and my neighbor was a chick who was 14 at the time who could JAM on guitar.
Oh yes,deep feel and pocket is the goal. Way back when I saw B.B. the drummer and bass player were hitting it just right!
A beautiful groove!!✌️🇺🇲
Legendary.He inspired me as a drummer!
That drum groove is nice . Love it.
I wonder was this the day I visited the studio. Tony sounded on 🔥
Wonderful lesson
Best Blues song ever ! ❤
Right on! 🎉
That kit is beautiful
brilliant! ❤
Great song
That groove 👌

Glued it together
❤ it!

100% rather have a tight and groovy drummer than a showoff👍🔥
Thank u drumeo, u guys fill my heart❤
Yes the legend is back, move away everyone!
That song is so cool my man had to wear shades to play🔥🔥
I never knew there was a version of this song without Tracy Chapman! To be fair, only BB album I've listened to is Dueces Wild lol
Man, this is a masterclass.
🖤🖤🖤
Great tight sound .. does anyone know what size cymbals Tony plays, can’t find anything online.
Cool
awesome video as always! can yall at Drumeo PLEASE get Gunnar Olsen on? Literally my favourite drummer atm
I always played this tune slower and didnt club out the bass drum so much. I wanted the vox and guitar to take the limelight more than the drums...and a little more slowly to make the groove heavier. That is what is cool about blues...you can play the songs the way you feel they should be played.
Please bring Chris Coleman
Between this guy and Suger foot oooweeee
Please make freely available the broadcast from Brann Dailor (Mastodon), which was recently on the channel.
That snare
🔝
What Snare is that ? Whoa
Hey TC don't forget about your friends down at UP
Where’s the Brann Dailor video?
⚙️⚖️🙏
It is impossible for me to listen to this and NOT MOVE! Bob my head and sway my body.
The version I like best has a timing that styled from jazz grove. And it ls that’s echoing the places the melody moves That’s the lilt with a stretched out timing from the swing/jazz effects. Openings where 4/4 timing doesn’t have them.
Without them to stretch it out in places it’s too fast feeling. Even when the actual hits are correct.
Am I wrong? Could be. But.
FOR ALL YOU YOUNG CROWD THAT PLAYS AND TUNES THE SAME
👂🏼 LISTEN UP NOW THAT'S HOW YOU TUNE A SNARE 🥁 👂🏼
Can y'all please do a "Genius behind Bill Ward" video soon pleaseeee???
Really feel like people over look him and his approach
I thought I saw one up the other day... I may have dreamt that though
Класс… 😍👍🏼🥰👍🏼🌟🔥🌟🔥🌟🔥🌟🔥🌟🔥🌎🌍🌏💫
All those guys just did their thing. All the over-analysis today of simple "feel" is completely facile.
Thebananastore123 is now watching
The secret to his groove is the sunglasses!
Just like BB playing less is more
Gotta put those sunglasses on to get serious.
That snare is pure filth.😮
Bill Szymczyk..... The Producer. Google this Man.
Y’all sleeping on Carter Beauford. Where is his “genius of” series???
See when you listen to blues they don’t use any electronics maybe electronic keyboards but they don’t use electronic drum kits. They use acoustic realistic drum kits and if you listen to modern blues they still use acoustic drum kits. That’s why the blues became before all the music now old school blues is rock and bluesand babbling whatever
I like to see others interpretation not cover note per note.. make it your own..
Молим о помощи у всех неравнодушных людей. Сыну поставили страшный диагноз, острый миелодный лейкоз костного мозга. На операцию требуется более 4 миллионов. Вся информация на канале 😥😥
Que aburrido
Please do not down play the King BB King.
Have no idea what this guy is talking about. In the pocket? Opening fill?
Ask Fifty Cent - he might know as well.
Interesting
If you’re a drummer: Being in the pocket means being exactly on beat. Your timing is basically perfect. You sound like a click track that can’t mess up. The opening fill is just that, the fill that’s played as the song begins before the natural beat takes over.
If you’re not a drummer: Timing is the most important thing in music. Everyone from your band members to the crowd will have to follow the drummer no matter what. The pocket means perfect timing. Or as close to perfect as the human ear can hear. So you play the basic groove/beat as close to perfect timing as possible. A fill, is literally “fillling” up your pocket with more beats. Throw in something special that departs from the basic beat but still stays on time. If you’ve never tried it before, look up “the basic drum beat” here on youtube. Learn that basic “1, 2, 3, 4” and then after 4, try something special and make sure you return to the basic beat on 1.
feel like I'm taking crazy pills here -- the dropping of those snare hits every now and then just loses the groove for me. Better when they're all the way through.
Couldn't disagree more
This is a terrible groove. He’s in and out of the pocket the whole time. He’s behind the beat sometimes and ahead of it other times. And the timing/placing of the dropped snare hits feels so off. This guy might have been a good drummer at some point but he isn’t anymore. Just facts 🤷🏽♂️
Just your facts.
@@mcfly3510nah. Just because someone was a great drummer at one time doesn’t mean they always will be. If this was anyone else playing this groove, they would not be getting praised for it.
Tony is a phenomenal drummer. I have recently done full gigs with him, both of us playing complete kits in sync, "James Brown Style," and I can personally attest to his excellent and reliable sense of timing and groove.
However, it should be noted that the original studio recording he's playing along to in this video was not cut to a click in the first place, so it is inherently drifting a bit. He is literally doing his best to groove along with a moving target, rather than simply drumming with a live group and setting their pace, or locking into a metronome that the rest of the recorded instruments are locked into as well.
Keep that in mind when noticing any slight timing variations in this performance of his.
Just facts.
👍👍👍👌👌👌❤️
Love to see him drumming for Body Count 🔥💪🏿🤡
