Two brushes in each hand?!?!

Bob definately kept me on my toes.

Legend.

Thank you for the video, Russ. Phil also taught me how to read, and he did it by post 🤗 (I live in Croatia). I had the pleasure of meeting Phil in person - there was some time to visit Brighton during my business trip to London sometime 2010. We spoke about all sorts, I'll never forget his comment on Steve Smith "Don't care for him, he plays too many notes" 😁 I was always an avid reader of Phil's Drum Study leaflets and have all of his books at home (went through all of them). Every now and then I think of Phil, his character, energy and a weird sense of humour. RIP Mr. Solomon, people live as long as they are remembered by others. Obviously, Phil influenced lives of ppl across the globe 🙌 Cheers from Croatia

Simply the most important drummer of them all

Loved it! I could feel the Spirit of Bob echoe throughout your tone! Nicely played 🎷 🥁🎷

Bob had this certain look when I played something that didn't match his expectations. Being from Germany and being a big Fan of Fawlty Towers I said to him DON'T MENTION THE WAR then he said I MENTIONED IT ONCE BUT I THINK I GOT AWAY WITH IT. I think of him often.

Garden Shed Stanley Road Hornchurch .

I had the incredible opportunity to study with the late great Bob Armstrong. He saved my blo... ar.. on more than one occasion.

No comments? Well, I'll make one: Dave Mattacks is a stunning, tasteful, inventive, super-talented drummer.

smooth smooth smooth....Gadd

Hello Russ, I don't suppose you still have this for sale by chance? :)

Retired professional drummer here, (retired due to 20+ surgeries on lower back and both feet), I first heard Vinnie on Kenny Pore's 'Inner City Dreams' circe 1984, check out the track 'Endurance'....so amazing.

STEVE...... CLASSIC AND RICH, thanks brother for the groovy groove 🎉

There shall not be a single misplaced sound by Steve Gadd. Ever.

I’ll never understand. I mean. It’s just good brushwork. I know he kills it. I’m tryin to get into him. We all love our brushes….

I had a couple of lessons in Bob’s back garden studio in Hornchurch back in ‘90, then fatherhood beckoned and I never had any more, though I did plan to.

thats a lot of dusting

Do you hear a train approaching?

Always the perfect touch!

Steve is the master so smooth and heavy if you needs to be

😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

Can this be viewed anywhere?

Man using 4 brushes

I loved hearing this tribute. I was a student of Bobs for 7ish years. What a legend.

Yea but looks stupid when Toms are upside down #rims

Lucky group!

I had lessons with Bob back in the 80s and I learnt more in 6 months than I did in 5 years with a previous teacher. Daunting sometimes he didnt have time for messing thats for sure

As if you don’t have this download it’s Blicher,Hemmer,Gadd , dig the live version of the CD

Awesome memoir on Jim. I will try to check out his books. I noticed that the most serious drummers somehow always have a jazz background! And really looking forward to David's Drumhang! Sadly, I haven't had a chance to see him yet so looking forward to this session :)

I almost got meet Gadd at a clinic near Heathrow Airport, trouble was he ill but Peter Erskine managed to save the Day.

Really enjoyed this video Russ, thanks so much! Great musicians never stop learning do they 😊

Pretty sure Gadd is 77

Drummers, Colaiuta & Weckl will never hang their sticks up, it's not an option. Their passion is too great, their need for progress never diminishes, from the very start both Drummers as students had what it took to achieve such greatness and mastery. Whether these favourite players of mine chose Drums & Music or whether the Drums & Music chose them, like a fish to water they were made for the job, both players on their instruments together with the music compliment one another perfectly. Both players constantly listened, practiced & learnt quickly with no clock watching regarding their practice sessions, in other words to get good they forgot about time, that's when it's best, nothing else to think about other than practicing 8 to 10 every day. Both players exposed to different genres of Music & other Drummers from an early age, not being glued to just one style or one particular sound. It's been said many many times that it was Steve Gadd who changed the face of Modern Drumming, there's no doubt Colaiuta & Weckl would agree as Gadd was everywhere & on everything at the time and still is "God Bless Him" Gadd is the man responsible for the new breed of Drummer, Buddy to. I'm pretty sure that if Buddy was alive today he'd have his eye on Weckl & Colaiuta where as years ago it was these two players that had their eyes on Buddy. I believe that for years to come Vinnie & Dave will be insurpassable as Masters of this quality don't come around that often. I love them both.

Excellent video Russ! So good to hear Mr Nutty’s name, always a fun day when he came to take an order!

What a beautiful video Russ. He was one of a kind, that's for sure and would frighten the sh!t out of many a drummer who showed up without having done the work!! Sorely missed.

If I am not mistaken the song the should be “Omara” played by Blicher, Hemmer & Gadd

the last time I saw bob we were at a vic firth private teacher seminar and I told him about the time was doing a clinic and after the break the organizers had a bodhan drum waiting me. I may be Irish but I cannot play bodhran . he pissed himself as I told him how I avoided it by chatting and leading away from the topic he laughed so hard. it was great !!!!

lovely tribute. Thank you. Bob was teacher friend and Vic Firth fellow. well done. Bob is smiling

Lovely tribute to Bob. I studied with him back in 83 in the basement for a couple of years and went back again to him in 91 this time lessons were down the bottom of the garden in the studio. Sadly the studio no longer remains in the garden but the basement remains in tact and regularly is put into good use.

I studied at Stanley Road too. Took me right back there with you describing lessons there! Great memories. Great teacher and great man too. Cheers 👍🏻 RIP Bob

I had the privilege of studying with him in 2012/13. I loved it. I surely did frustrate him with my lack of practice, but our time together impacted me greatly. Happy birthday Bob.

Happy birthday Russ. I just wanted to say big thanks for creating this space. By the time you started Drum Hangs, I had just left the UK to Australia and was really missing everything about drums and seeing drummers on stages! Your idea really helped keep me in touch with the incredible musicians and drummers you had. I also love how natural and personal the group is, yet I also learned a lot. I really hope some of hangs continue, especially online since a lot of us cannot make it in person ☺️ ( wish I can haha) thanks so much :)

Happy Birthday Young Man, and looking forward to hanging soon! Happy to see a podcast about DrumHangs

Brilliant Russ Still a spring chicken! happy birthday🎂🎂🎂🎂🥁🥁🥁🥁🎶🎶🎶🎶

Happy 40th Birthday, Russ! 🥳🙏🏻🤩

The master showing how it’s done.

It would be awesome to know the song

So chill. 😎👌
