Clean grooves, nobody overplaying, clearly a well rehearsed band. This is how one plays behind an act like Shakira. Thanks for the unique perspective of your awesome career Brendan! Not a pop music fan, but I've always had an appreciation for the Latin influence Shakira's music brings to mainstream music. Drums are about the most important factor in that. Brendan nails the transitions between common pop beats and those syncopated clave grooves like a boss. Fabulous to watch, you can learn a lot by closely paying attention to how a pro drummer performs.
This is a professional drummer. Not the overplaying amateurs you see at club shows. This dude has insane skill and timing and he knows how to make the artist shine.
@@Jump-2-the-moon ....? The "basic" playing is exactly burt's point. Brendan Buckley is insanely good and he knows that he plays drums to do what's best for the music at that moment. Shakira is who they came to see at this concert. It would be unprofessional to take away from letting her shine.
burt turdison totally agree, he said in an interview for gear goggles that his job is to make everyone else as comfortable as humanly possible and he kicks ass at it.
This is a true professional right here, playing perfectly to the song, never overplaying or showing off whilst still utilising the whole drum kit and maintaining a great groove. Props to you sir!
Brendan, watching this puts a smile on my face. You're such a mature, professional musician. No wonder you are traveling around the world with that studio-like quality musicianship.
Damn! Ok, this dude has had the Shakira gig for 20 years! Yes, 20. Wow. Brendan, your striking consistency is top notch man. Love it. AND that splash/crash on the ride is just genius! Keep inspiring us!
Wow, I'm blown away. after watching his gear walk thru then watching it in action, this is pure eye candy! Brendan has vastly just become one of my favorite drummers. so professional!
Amazed how simple the drumming was, not flashy. Yet the drumming is so in charge of the song and tempo and feel of the music. Every movement matters and needs to be so in tune with the performer and the music. Very impressive. These views of individual band members give so much more appreciation for the talents of all the band members.
Despite not being a fan of pop music, I find THIS is how you do it right. With a band. Not programmed. Sure, this stuff may be simple in terms of beats, but damn, the timing and skill is ALL there! Much respect.
Brendan, HUGE props to you for all the thought, preparation and time that's gone into being the backbone of this kind of tour. Just watched the DRUM mag overview of your setup, and all the backups and redundancies you've put in place are really impressive. THIS is what a drummer SHOULD be...someone who is there to drive and help lead the band through any situation. Very impressed.
I love drums, I never took a course and I don't even know how to play but if there is one thing I learned by seeing it is that the person does not need to be showing his gifts of agility, do like this guy, the simplest thing was the biggest thing Congratulations
I see a load of people commenting about haters but no actual hate comments lol? Maybe all the nasty stuff got deleted, but mostly I just see a lot of love for a great perspective of a class drummer backing a huge concert artist. Great watch and listen.
As a Drummer for 20 Years....I love this Video...Because, Simplicity Is Key, The Average Joe Never Cared about you being able to do Fancy Guitar Sweeps or Speedy Blast Beats Anyway. And the Crowd Loves it! So yeah! The Proof Is In The Pudding!
I love the cleanliness,control and Professionalism here When im the one who played there i might double pedaled this and turn waka waka into a metal song.
On stage even the simple beats are hardest to play...this guy is the one who can rule the whole stage if he plays solo drum bt here he is playing how much it's required 🙏🙏🙏
Great performance of a trully professional and gifted drummer. Perfect compasso and tempo, good balance and sound splash, correct posture. The performance is the right one for this song. No wonder u play with Shakira for so long.
Dude, thanks so much for pointing that out. At first I couldn't figure out what it was and thought it might be a percussion player or something. I need to try that! Thank you :)
The spiritual bromance between a drummer and singer is so pure. I will float on the beat so you can fly on the melody. same can be said about about guitarists and drummers for heavier music
Great job Brendan. This is exactly how you approach playing for an international star. Stay in your lane, serve the songs and collect flawless shows night after night. Anyone saying you need to play more notes clearly doesn’t get it.
This is my dream, man! It's perfect! The big hall with really good equipment... oh ..I'm in astonishment... Keep it man! Shakira is really good singer! And you are really good drummer!
Now there are a lot of drumming lessons on UA-cam. Many people make drum covers. But this video allows you to look at the show from a different angle. This is exactly what I want to see. How often it happened that when you watching performance, you can not choose which musician to watch. I want to see the drummer, I want to see HOW he played it. But at this point they show me the guitarist)) Thank you, Brendan! Keep making such videos. Greetings from Russia ;)
I don't see why some here are negative? This is Shakira, the main focus is HER. In rock there will obviously be more attention to/room for the drummer to show of but here it's mostly a background instrument that makes the audience dance. Brendan is awesome! Good grooves, nice well placed fills, good timing and overall very musical playing of him.
This was the first song I’ve heard from Shakira, and this was how I came across your channel, I can definitely see why Shakira hired you as her drummer, impressive fills and on tempo drumming, Thanks for sharing this video Brendan 🥁🔥🤘
If you think this is simple, you'd be correct. Welcome to not everything is a drum solo. Live drumming, studio drumming, small gig drumming. All VERY different animals. Learn to be a drummer and you can appreciate what Brendan is doing
I've been drumming for over 7 years ruthlessly. I can rightfully say that he is a true professional. To play as tightly and consistently as he does takes ages, to be able to play these beats with this ease also means that you are able to play much more difficult pieces as well. Cause Brendan can play incredibly complex rhythms from African tradition and such. He never really plays them but that added skill makes the songs he plays that much easier and fluid more wiggle room for error's and have them be totally unnoticeable.
The development stages of your typical drummer: 1. Speed is all (look at that guy) 2. Rudiments and fills is all (look at all my chops) 3. Timing is all (turned out speed and chops sound terrible out of time) 4. Music is all (I’ll play what fits the music) I’m still at 3. Brendan is at 5.
@@toadetteremotewithwiimotio3330 Travis Barker? Even when he plays complex patterns, not only he keeps the beat amazingly but also uses his drum set in a very musical way. In fact there's a lot of videos explaining how he relies more on the instrument he uses than on the dynamics to create different musical landscapes
Niklas Karvonen I started a couple months ago I practice daily for an hour or two during this break and I’m definitely on 2 but I’m starting to chart songs and work on theory and my timing is still terrible I hope to become a legend like Brendan one day
The worst thing about guys like this +Jamis is they're about hate and putting people down. While the successful ones continue to soar. Stop dragging us down with your negativity and bad attitude. Get a life!
okay, I respect your opinion. That is yours. Mine is mine. Moving on, I had the same initial impression when watching Jonathan Sagarfoot Moffett on Drumeo. I found his fills boring. But then I realized he is just playing his parts for MJ's songs. Quite a veteran drummer though.
Good for you for thinking you are better than him. Not everyone is Dave Weckl, Buddy Rich or Dennis Chambers. He got this gig playing for one of the biggest acts in the world and you did not. He is nice enough to post videos showing us what it is like sitting from behind the kit with Shakira. I think he does a great job. That is my opinion, and obviously (more importantly) Shakira's. Good luck to you in getting the gigs by telling everyone that you are better than they are. I hope that works for you. Thank-you Brendan for posting. Not the type of music I would listen to but always interested in how people cover all the sounds in pop music like this. Keep up the great work!
Very professional... All those complaining are the ones who can´t keep a solid tempo and dynamics for more than 30 seconds. Congratulations and great job!
Solid. I like the way he switches his grip and he seems totally relaxed, which is the way to go. The little splash on top of his ride is cool, but he has at least three stacks. I would leave the bell open, but hey … it's whatever the client wants! I notice also that he has two laptops - one must be a back-up. Very professional.
Reminds me of watching Bill Gibson with Huey Lewis and The News. Stay in the pocket, don't overdo it, kick off whatever part needs a launch (Bill always said his fave part was kicking off the Tower of Power horn section), and know that I'll get my time to do my thing. And once I've done it, I'm right back in that pocket. Smooth.

Shuggadugga thanks!!!
Shuggadugga your comment is perfect 👌🏼 i’m a drummer too and i really appreciate Mr. Brendan B. 🥁🎶...and the words you said
Shuggadugga “pro drummer” lol nice
Thanks for not overplaying that drum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Clean and simple, served the song!
This is a professional drummer. Not the overplaying amateurs you see at club shows. This dude has insane skill and timing and he knows how to make the artist shine.
Like that one guitarist in Maroon 5 said in an interview is to serve the song.
To be fair they have clicks in concerts
@@Jump-2-the-moon ....?
The "basic" playing is exactly burt's point. Brendan Buckley is insanely good and he knows that he plays drums to do what's best for the music at that moment. Shakira is who they came to see at this concert. It would be unprofessional to take away from letting her shine.

Sign of professionalism, peace minded drummer & what brilliant grover ❤
He is doing exactly what he is being PAID to do. He has been Shakira's touring drummer for years. Obviously, she thinks he is doing something right!
Decades isn't it? Keep the customer satisfied. "Time of your life eh kid?"
This is a true professional right here, playing perfectly to the song, never overplaying or showing off whilst still utilising the whole drum kit and maintaining a great groove. Props to you sir!
Definitely man straight up professional not overdoing anything perfect timing just amazing man
This is how a session drummer makes their living, playing the groove...nothing fancy just solid
A great Professional drummer. So relaxed in front of THOUSANDS of people, and serving THE SONG and allowing the performer to shine!
Brendan, watching this puts a smile on my face. You're such a mature, professional musician. No wonder you are traveling around the world with that studio-like quality musicianship.

Timing is spot on , not a count out of place , a drummer that knows how to make the artist shine ,simple, easy, tight with, a splash..... top job
Wow, I'm blown away. after watching his gear walk thru then watching it in action, this is pure eye candy! Brendan has vastly just become one of my favorite drummers. so professional!
Zachary Christopherr thanks! 🙏
This guy (Brendan) is really a legendary drummer 💙...
Lots of love from INDIA 🇮🇳🤍...
Best drummer ever seen in the world
Was juuuust watching waka waka live version and thought to myself what an amazing drumming and then I came on to this.... props!!!!
Love his relaxed and controlled playing. Nice work indeed. After playing each song so much, it seems like you can relax anyway and enjoy the show!
Absolute Pro! I love all the subtle beat variations in each section, just enough to give each part its own character without being overly busy.
each snare sounds exactly the same. this is how you can recognize pro in simple drumming.
satisfying to watch, cheers
Wiktor Pogoda thanks Wiktor!
facts!

Professional drummer! This is what is needed and nothing more. Bravoooo
The artist behind the artist. Respect!
An outstanding job! Still one of my favorite drummers that has ever existed in Pop culture!
Album quality performance.
The haters will never be this clean.
Never in my life saw a great dynamic drummer like you....
Brandon is the Motor behind that well oiled machine, continued success, a great show every time, Thank You

Major nostalgia from summer camp listen to shakira with all the Spanish campers... thanks for reminding me of my younger years!!!
I love the perspective. I have played for a few decent audiences, but never a stadium. Thanks for putting us in the driver's seat!

but if there is one thing I learned by seeing it is that the person does not need to be showing his gifts of agility, do like this guy, the simplest thing was the biggest thing

Bwoah!! That outro was so clean it literally rocked my socks off
This is the ultimate live drum performance i ve ever seen. God bless u buddy. 😍
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Playing anything in front of a crowd like that has to be amazing
I cant imagine the feeling playing for a crowd that big! Must be so surreal.

I saw people saying it was fake which is not true I’m related to him he’s my dads cousin so I know he plays for real
PERFECT DRUMMING in the context of what the song needs. Love it
As a Drummer for 20 Years....I love this Video...Because, Simplicity Is Key, The Average Joe Never Cared about you being able to do Fancy Guitar Sweeps or Speedy Blast Beats Anyway. And the Crowd Loves it! So yeah! The Proof Is In The Pudding!
I present to you...Brendan Buckley...the human metronome!
I love the cleanliness,control and Professionalism here When im the one who played there i might double pedaled this and turn waka waka into a metal song.
I've been watching this countless... The snare sound is so sweet....
Dude is a master at his craft. Salute from Brazil. Pocket master!
Drummer is a rock. Shakira is the the show. A pro gets it.
He’s playing for the music, not to the music. Sign of a pro
On stage even the simple beats are hardest to play...this guy is the one who can rule the whole stage if he plays solo drum bt here he is playing how much it's required 🙏🙏🙏
Clean perfect grove osm
Your are a ultra LEGEND bro
every one will just melt in ur beat
Everyday i watch this one
Bro the change at 2:18 is just amazing.. I literally watch this instead of listening to the song.. love it .
Wow I would kill to have a gig like that...great job Brendan proud of you...keep up the good work and professionalism.
Wow, this first time l watch a concert from the band's perspective! Love it!
Still in Love with that View. Best Drummer.
We need more drum cams and humble drummers in this world
Came into this video cause youtube suggested it and im so glad, never heard of you before brendan, but you are one hell of a pro drummer.
To think that Shakira (and every arena!!) is grooving to the beats you're laying own every night.
Great performance of a trully professional and gifted drummer. Perfect compasso and tempo, good balance and sound splash, correct posture. The performance is the right one for this song. No wonder u play with Shakira for so long.
Thank you for this video. Mind blowing performance from all of you.
Love the relaxed playing. Pitch perfect :D
Awesome bro. This guy is respectfully amazing.
As a lover of metal music and drums, I love this just as much! those drums (and everything really) sounds so good!
Absolutely nailed to the beat. Tight!
This guy blows my mind
The splash on the ride around 3:00 sounds soooo gooood
Ikr
Dude, thanks so much for pointing that out. At first I couldn't figure out what it was and thought it might be a percussion player or something. I need to try that! Thank you :)
I love you man and you are absolutely out of this world. I'm your fan. Greatest thing I have ever watched on a live concert
Every hit sounds the same. So satisfying to watch.
That's an impressive drum kit & cymbal set up. I like the splash stacked on top of the ride. Great idea! I need to try that on.my kit. Cheers!
Awesome view! Thnx for video. Never imagined how it is being on the stage large like that, breathtaking experience. You're awesome!
My salute to the drummer!!! So nice to hear!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
HII I LOVE HOW YOU PLAY THE DRUMS!!! YOU ARE VERY LUCKY TO WORK FOR SHAKIRA!!! HUGS FROM MEXICO.

He is 46 and working with shakira for mote than 20years....
Respect
Watched Again. Love to See you Play. So Easy. So on Point.
Changing snare is my Fave Part
Very professional... All those complaining are the ones who can´t keep a solid tempo and dynamics for more than 30 seconds. Congratulations and great job!

Whos is watching 2019......??? 😍
A good drummer doesn't play amazing drums, a good drummer plays for the music. And that's just one reason, why Brendan is amazing.
Beautiful Sound! You Play so clear😍 Greetings from Germany!
Absolutely fabolous. This is how to Play those kinda Songs live!
