And so we should pay good money for this gold! I used to rent these vids from my local library as a kid because we were poor. But man did I savour these vids and watch over and over again. I feel a bit sorry for kids these days with so much content to scour through, much of which is not great, lots of which is amazing. I’m not sure who had it best really. Hopefully some young players stumble across this gem and watch it over and over 😄
Gregg absolutely smoked on the first 3 David Lee Roth albums! There was no backing band as tight as the Eat 'Em & Smile era with Gregg on drums, Billy Sheehan on bass, Steve Vai on guitar and Brett Tuggle on keyboards. They gave DLR's solo career the kick in the ass it sorely needed!
Such a wonderful guy. I was teaching at Richmond Music Center in the 2000s and he did a clinic there. He was warming up in my studio and I talked with him for 30 minutes or so. After the clinic he gave me his bass drum head off the kit, with his face on it, and signed it. Such an awesome guy and drummer. Will never forget.
@@peterjeffery2547 really? Please do tell....you can't just dump like that without dome detail. it's not believable otherwise, because this dude comes off as VERY genuine.
I've been wrong for years, now I hafta live with the fact that I never thought of Gregg one way or another. I didn't like the Roth videos back then but now I realize he is an absolute beast. He has wrists like Troy Luccetta from Tesla. 👍🤯
Good composers borrow, great composers steal 35 years later and I still remember that like it was yesterday! I miss the 80s. Life seemed so much more real. All my memories are from the 80s. Around 92 was the last year I have any real recollection of. I remember this video so clearly, but have no idea what's happened since 2000. 25 years of confusion and little meaning Sorry for the life story. Greg rocks!
Gregg had gotten a hair transplant around the time he joined playing with david L. Roth, he (gregg) looks at least 30 years younger and better with the hair! Lucky guy!
Even at this relatively young age, Greg was a monster player. Interesting to note, the opening solos pieces, at least to my ear, seemed stronly influenced by Copeland and Bozio. I'm not saying anything against Greg. Those were his pieces and composed and executed brilliently. It was just the drummer zygiest of that moment.
I used to have Gregg's Book of the same name (I think) that had all of these tunes minus drums along with the charts. I did the latin tune with a live band for one of my college recitals along with another tune called Teenage Immigrant from his first solo record.
@@ciadella1971 Thank you for the kind offer. I uploaded Dave Weckl, Steve Gadd , Gavin Harrison, Joe Morello, Tommy Aldridge, Neil Peart drum instructionals two years ago. Unfortunately they were taken down by their respective publishers.
Sadly, the hair is among the reasons I didn't give him a second thought back when he was with DLR. Don't let it rob you of this incredible display from one of the most talented musicians out there. It has me re-evaluating my entire 56yrs. Lol

Thank you for posting l these great drum instructional videos! We had to pay $29.99 or more to watch these back in the day!!
Steve Gadd’s second video was $60. Lotta money in the 80’s

Greg is a consummate musician he is a great performer he's an excellent instructor, great skill sets that complement one another...🎉

"Play with groove and conviction". Gregg Bissonette.
That snare drum in that room Gregg is in sounds amazing. Can't get tired of it
you mean, 'the snare'?
@@kidkiqueI think he’s trying to say: ”The snare sounds amazing.”
An amazing drummer with the king of mullets :)
First at all I like said the drum kit is so beautiful brings memories back in the 80s when Gregg was playing with Davidleeroth band ❤
This must be remastered, it looks and sounds great!
"Play with grove and conviction". Gregg Bissonette.
Met Gregg in Sydney once when he was on a clinic tour, just after he had started playing Mapex. Super nice guy.
What a monster. Even back then. I had the pleasure of attending one of his clinics back in the 90’s. So humble, funny and energetic. Oh and a monster.
He’s as fake as they come. Not a nice guy when nothing to gain.
@@peterjeffery2547 really? Please do tell....you can't just dump like that without dome detail. it's not believable otherwise, because this dude comes off as VERY genuine.
When he wasn't drumming, he was wrestling with Robert Gibson as one half of the Rock and Roll Express
1:12:31 - 1:14:46 priceless words of advise that all musicians need.
Solo puedo admirar su talento. Inimitable
I have always loved that drum kit. Beautiful Pearl and the white hardware as well just Great. Extremely talented and highly trained drummer.
Beat in series??
wow this vintage gem is the best tutorial I have watched
Nice drumkit with White hardware, Nice playing with Nice blue t-shirt and Nice puppy haircuts. 🐶
Absolute maestro, had no idea who he was until now..lotta records I didn't know he played on. David Lee Roth Jason Becker, killer stuff.
I remember watching this at Musicians Institute (video library) when it was brand new. It's been 34 years since I've seen this. Still holds up. 💪🏼🥁
I'm looking for the book and audio material of the video.
So much Tony influence in his beginning solo. Love it!

That snare drum >>
I had this in VHS...long time ago.
Great drummer and a lovely humble guy. Greg's the man!
Good composers borrow, great composers steal

I watched this video lots back in the day
Same here.

Love that Guy 🥢🥁
Gregg ❤❤❤
Back in the day when his epic hair matched his personality.
Cool! Latin part with the brushes sounds nice :)
Oh another classic - loved this VHS

Thanks for sharing!
Sweet!
1:14:14 best advice in the whole video. Right on, Gregg!
Thank you!
Back for the hair and beats🎉
Christ what a legend, never seen this, thanks ❤
Thanks for sharing!
The composer quote was from Stravinsky.
Even at this relatively young age, Greg was a monster player. Interesting to note, the opening solos pieces, at least to my ear, seemed stronly influenced by Copeland and Bozio. I'm not saying anything against Greg. Those were his pieces and composed and executed brilliently. It was just the drummer zygiest of that moment.
I think Gregg is the one who are play "it must have been love" - Roxette in recording album. The way he executed his snare tell me that he was 🤔
I used to have Gregg's Book of the same name (I think) that had all of these tunes minus drums along with the charts.
I did the latin tune with a live band for one of my college recitals along with another tune called Teenage Immigrant from his first solo record.
Thank you for uploading ! Would you have Steve Gadd’s ? Cheers
Weird to see him so laid back
You should upload the Dace Weckl DCI videos. I have them in MP4 format if you need them.

👍👍
killer white powder paint on the Pearl MLX kit.
I liked this guy better when he was teaming with Robert Gibson in the rock n roll express
Gregg was a monster player back then, but 90% of that skill was in the mullet.
They were same style, tonation and dynamic 👇🏻

I think Greg is the drummer who played "it must have been love" - Roxette. You hear the snare he executed then you've got what i mean😅
Is that a sp1200?
That hair 😅
P
Woman ?
Good drummer , bad teacher
He is a legend. But I just can not take him seriously. Not with that hair. Sorry. Can someone blur it?
Sadly, the hair is among the reasons I didn't give him a second thought back when he was with DLR. Don't let it rob you of this incredible display from one of the most talented musicians out there. It has me re-evaluating my entire 56yrs. Lol
I see a Bozio influence here. Super badass!
Thank you!
