Shaping Your Journey with Rob The Drummer Gottfried
One of the great drummers you don't hear about much...check out him with santana..and Alphonso Johnson on bass...live..he is working his ass off..that band was non stop jamming *
They hold you to a higher standard in the Big Apple
Yes, Graham is truly one of drumming greats on the planet..aside for his brilliant work with Gino Vannelli, he was with Santana for 22 years.
One of the true greats - so underestimated. All the others get the praise from his era, but he was the OG!!
"Shaping"?! You must got LUCKY!
graham lives here and niagara and plays in a jazz band in thorold i saw him 2 weeks ago playing to about 40 of us in pub..awesome
Thanks for the note and comment .Graham is one of the world’s top drummers .The longest running drummer with Santana ( 22 years) aside from his brilliant work with Gino Vannelli ..
Yes ! Thank you for watching ..more coming
So much love!
Good stuff!! Aldo, is this the same Chris Parker that recorded on Michael Franks’ “Rainy Night In Tokyo” and “Like Water Like Wind”?? I did drum covers of both of those tunes!
Thank you for your comment.Yes, it becoming common knowledge now that all the great artists were hard workers,serious focused on their craft daily …not what the stereotype became ..
15:52 mk very cool insight into how serious the everyday practice sessions of Santana were. and the 17:02 mk ""this is a like a Street Gang ...and the message/ weapon was music ""
Frankie!! Great interview Aldo.
Thank you for your comment..and for watching :) yes they were different times …but change is forward motion as the world spins :)
Mike is taking about how we all related in the 70s. You HAD to have a tough skin where ever you were. It just was the culture back then. I first saw it diminishing in the 90 when they started the “ political correctness” bs. Guess I survived okay just like him ☺️
With Kenny Aronoff( John Mellon amp & more ) & Kenny plays on my theme in this episode .
Thank you for the comment…and for watching …more comi g
Love the interview and Michael's story...very interesting. He will always be connected to Woodstock...couldn't think of a better way to go "solo"...wonderful start of an unfolding artistic talent. By the way the dummer for Alice Cooper was Glen Sobel....hope the link opens...m.ua-cam.com/video/Y0OaNs1qDyw/v-deo.html...keep on drummin! Lookin forward to Drums of Passion 🥁☮️
Thank you Michael > Automatic Man > Keith Harwood > Olyimpic Studios
Thank you for your comments and for watching the podcast ..please share as we continue to spread the word about this fun and worthwhile podcast :)
So much more to Michael than the public persona, A heartfelt humble musician (Yes, we Drummers are musicians..) His clear honest perspective of himself and the world he fits into is a lesson everyone should apply to their lives. 'Live where you belong'. So glad to have found this and the real Michael Shrieve ... God bless he is an inspiration to so many.
Carmine is undoubtedly one of the seminal American rock drummers
At first glance I thought it was Mike Mill’s from REM.. Mike’s sporting grey hair same length as he wear’s similar glasses. What a guest I was 8 or 9 years old when Woodstock had this festival. My neighbors had the album and I enjoyed listening to it all. This was Three house’s down from my childhood home. I really enjoyed seeing this man on his kit. I think it was said he was tripping during the whole concert. He delivered an excellent performance and he was so young.
Fantastic interview Aldo! Terry your’re a legend! Had many conversations with Jim about you. I salute you 👏👏🥁🥁
Great interview. Interesting to hear Carl talking about AI, given the final moments of Karn Evil 9...
Super interview
Thank you both for your humanity and expertise. Maybe I'll nip west to Portobello Road Market to meet Joel Rothman, as I've been enjoying his books for over 10 years.
I love Lears drumming in Santana to me he is Santanas 2nd best drummer, Dennis Chambers being first! Santana had a lot of good drummers with his wife not really working out good for santana.
Namaste Michael and Aldo
Sometimes, you get lucky and stumble on a gem like this. Jamey is such an inspiration!
Aldo Mazza is legend. I’m honored to have met you sir
Thank you for watching and supporting my conversations ..there is so much to learn and share
Jeff is amazing. Could listen forever 🥁🔥
These guys get along so well it makes it so enjoyable to listen to. Both of their stories are so interesting and grounded. I’ve drummed for 40 years but Michael’s Woodstock solo just caught me now. I feel rewarded to have “met”him though this interview at 72 with his wisdom and diplomacy. Thank you for this.
What a great conversation! Keep them coming
Thank you for watching Lisa …more coming :)
What a fascinating interview with such a talented musician and and inspirational human being! Thank you Michael. for sharing your awesome talents with the world!
Bobby Riggs
vs Billy Jean King
And my big pleasure ..to be continued !
Thank you, Aldo. It was an honor and pleasure to be on your show. 🙏♥
Thank you Aldo nice to meet a legend and hear his story! Thank you Joel Rothman for your amazing contribution to the drumming world!!!
Great Interview!!! That is the most animated relaxed...open and funny I have ever seen Carl Palmer in an interview. Learned so much. When he said when he played along to SmokeStack LIghtin' and that lit a fire under him I gained so much more respect for him. A man with his talent and sophistication on percussion and the drums ..it would be very easy for him to dismiss 12 bar blues songs as simple and uninteresting. To me he gets it. It's the power of the song and how it moves you not necessarily how complicated you play. His drumming parts fits all the variety of music he has played in his career. From Arthur Brown to Asia. I got to see him in ELP and Asia and also his ELP Legacy band. He is a link to all the great drummers he mentioned in this interview from the jazz world but adding in that British Rock edge. Funny and prophetic comment about arguing about 4 bars of music til the day they die .....and they did. He is honoring his band mates and legacy of ELP in a manner that shines a bright light on what they were able to accomplish and is a beacon for musicians that choose to follow in their foot steps in exploring the richness of their instruments and to push new boundaries. His enthusiasm is contagious!! Thanks for posting!!!
This guy was a total badass on the drums. Loved everything I've heard him do from Maskmakhan onward. Rock on, Jerry!
His and John Sheridan's book on Gretsch drums is fantastic.
