- Warning: this video is not flashy. So just because it may get boring please don't hit the thumbs down button 😂 Everyone gets to see and hear me chop all the time but some of you may not know but I love to lock and play music. All styles of music. I want to be known for more than just Chops or the guy who played for Suicidal Tendencies. I have toured and played with many amazing artist. From Suicidal Tendencies to El Debarge , Sly Stone , New Edition, Bobby Brown, Lillake, O'bryan and so many other big names in music. I am a musician I can play it all and when it comes time to chop you know exactly there's no end to that.
Young musicians take note. This is how you make your money.. Pocket Play. EM. knows every chop known to man, but yet he is discliplined enough to play in the pocket when it calls for it...
Chops for show
Pocket for dough...
All you need to know...
Err....yo'
A tight pocket keeps your pockets tight.
I'd much rather watch a pocket groove like that.
All day.
Boss. 🙏🏻
Eric Moore, this is my favorite video! Thank you for showing this young generation that playing the music is just as effective if not more. Being a chop champion is great but pocket will keep you paid💰💰💰💰💵💴💶💷💸💳✌
Doran Ray so true my brother. ..I love the way he just grooves A GROOVESMITH
"Being a chop champion is great but pocket will keep you paid"
Awesome.
TRUTH
brolyaxp If you go to audition for a concert or tour and all you do is chop, 8/10 you won't get a call back. The other two times were auditions for gospel chops.
brolyaxp play a gig like you play at a shed or drum-off...you will be fired🔥🔥🔥! If you are not the feature or doing a clinic, play the music.
Why would anyone that is a musician dislike this video, there's nothing more beautiful then having the control to continually play a groove without letting your brain get the best of it and going berserk with chops, this right here is what you should strive for, being able to groove like this is literally the pinnacle of what drumming is about, this is how you make a living, this is what producers want, the fact that at any given moment he could sink into a gospel lick and it be cleaner than anything you've ever heard while maintaining the groove but has the control to maintain his composure and just groove is amazing, for me this is hard to do without doing something I physically can't do, 15 seconds in to just playing, this is what it's about people
Boring? Yeah, no. That was all kinds of fire, homie.

I love this!😍😍
Keeping the pocket that's what makes a great drummer. Fantastic man
I absolutely love this video ...because you just showed me that we don't need flashy chops all the time, that sometimes we got to sit down and hold the groove!!!....and you just demonstrate one of your many amazing talents!!! that's why your one of my drummers.
NICE!!!! Sometimes, all ya gotta do IS lay the groove in order to blow minds. As a drummer with lots of groove and pocket but a very limited bag of chops, I've been ragged on for not "doing anything" (usually from guys who like to do nothing but freekin' OVERPLAY ALL THE TIME when it's not necessary). However, as I've seen many of your vids, I totally appreciate the fact that you have a huge enough vocabulary of chops in that you know when to bust 'em out, but also know when to observe restraint and stick it in the pocket! And THAT is what I'd call FAR from "boring"!
Alan Elam good to hear most drummers these days have lost the art of staying in the pocket or keeping the groove.
Good chops come from good groove. When you leave the groove to chop, that's where the suspense comes from. Of you don't have a good feeling, the rest isn't gonna happen.
You don't have to justify your playing man. Anyone who knows music , knows just how amazing you are, weather you are blazing around the kit or just laying down a sweet groove. Your the man
So wonderful to hear the snare actually on 2 and 4 no 2 measure fills. Nice hi hat work! This is how you get hired young people!!!!!!!!
99
LOL ok
63 yr old drummer here still playing. an old sound buddy recently said my playing yrs back with a busy rhythm section was the epitome of pocket,i let them be busy while i held it down. I get great pocket comments a lot. I dont have the hands i used to have but always a pocket player. when i fill in the band/ singers often say how easy it was to sing or solo w/ my groove....pocket is what gets people to tap their feet, get up and dance even when they aren't dancers, its what makes a band have that special something that feels so good....this is great stuff thanks Eric, been watching your videos a lot you have some amazing chops and feel...
For the record I never saw you as a guy who can only play fast licks or a one trick pony. It's fun watching you do your thing regardless of what you play because you are a phenomenal musician. My favorite thing about you is how much you genuinely love playing the drums and encouraging the drum community regardless of our skill level! I myself struggle with chops and admire what you can do and have learned a lot from you. One of my favorite lessons one the drum channel was the one you gave, keep up the great work you're an inspiration!
He's an underrated drummer
Best Eric Moore video so far.
One thing about a drummer....he knows how TO PLAY JUST THE MUSIC this separates him from those who WANT TO BE HEARD. God bless you Mr Moore and keep doing what you are doing. You understand a GOD GIVEN TALENT which is a blessing to and for all. Many are learning from you and they are not all YOUNG either...
As a guitarist, I love watching tight drummers groove. It helps me keep my own rhythm on track. Could watch you sit in the pocket for hours! Love it!
Some of the most solid playing you will ever hear. 💯 Your groove and deliverance is top notch.
My friend, this is the exact video I use to warm up my hands every day. Plus I have the bad habit of wanting to shred all the time and not stay in the groove. I play this from beginning to end whether I like it or not. Gotta learn how to lay the groove! So thank you. This video is perfect.
poofypuffer same here bro, nice
i think drummers with too many chops should have the warnings :) this is pretty damn sweet, no warnings needed
Mannnn, the fact that that the drums/cymbals still sound this good with only camera audio speaks volumes lol.
that snare is cracking.
Dope video big homie... no chops were needed ! smashing !! lol
Fred Lester probably just a phone
Fred Lester he answered another comment on this vid sayin it was just a iphone 7 with no post edingting done
Qui Tv I think you are the best
Qui Tv and the other
Qui Tv .?
Even as a marching percussionist, I dig this so much. Extremely fun to chop out to!
To everyone wondering the track is a remake of the song " Tell me if you still care" by The S.O.S. Band
John Simmons thanks I was wondering
Nice
Hello, did you find the track? Thanks!
I'll take this over chops all day long. So good.
I remember coming to this in January wanting to play just as smooth! Today I 100% felt locked in and it was the most rewarding feeling. Can't get enough bro!!!
Poppa Eric your just showin the youngsters how to lay in the pocket. Nice groove brother.
Esse Vídeo do Cleverton Silva , ta monstro !
This Cleverton Silva Video, you monster!

I don't get tired watching this. Great lesson!
Could listen to this all day -- literally! Those ghost notes and other subtle articulations show hella chops.
I promise this just hit me, sort of an epiphany: as a drummer playing in pocket is primary. It makes a world of difference when adding fills(simple or complex) when you always play in pocket. This video is a PERFECT example of when a drummer plays in pocket and adds simple fills,sounds so crisp always coming back on the one. RESPECT!
this is playing music. these young boys don't understand that having a solid pocket is what get you looks,not the solos in the middle of a song. great video eric.
June Ward exactly been playing for 17 years and the guys that have 0 pocket or groove get made fun of
solid bruh I enjoyed it. keep teaching cats that its not about chops its about locking in with the rest of the band making the groove fat and when its time to come out do you and lock it back down ✊✊✊✊ enjoyed bruh
Back when I was an inexperienced drummer, Oh, I was TIGHT in the pocket, had BLING chops, and it was a gift. I'm in the studio with R. Kelly, but nobody gave me the memo that it was his song and HE was the star! I'm trying to impress the Boss, and he wasn't feeling me! I didn't get to finish the first song! Word got out about me, and after a few years of treading water, I learned a valuable lesson. I've been eating ever since that valuable lesson.
I love chops, but this idea that musicality(pocket, groove, tone, tastefulness, finesse, etc.) is "boring" is all too prevalent. THIS stuff is what makes you a great drummer, Eric. I'd hire you in a heartbeat - if I could afford you ;-D
thirtytwobars Anybody that would think musicality is boring simply isn't a musician lol
This is what you call drumming.....God really blessed those hands!
I hope you post more videos like this. Really in the pocket man.
This is why I love being a gospel drummer because it keeps you disciplined and teaches you to be a pocket drummer rather than a flashy chops kind of drummer. pocket gets u gigs and makes you money. great job Eric for showing drummers everywhere how to sit back in the groove and juz play and not always shedding over every song.
Cold Blooded!! Funky Smooth but in that concert pocket baby.... Love it!! Smooth Technique
Dude, from one musician to another, you have EXCELLENT meter! Your timing is perfection! I need to find a drummer like you in the Pittsburgh area! Nobody comes even close!
you havent check the churches
He is one of the best in the world. Even if guys can play chops there is only one Eric Moore... Love his feel for a song.. Very unique...
Matt M lol let him know that alot of good drummers come out of the church
Those crispy hats have a real strong powerful attack!
This right is one of the favs bass playa
As a 59-year-old guy who has been playing the drums for all of 1 year, I can truthfully say that this is some amazing shit. You are one of my inspirations, Eric. Thank you.
You Sir, are one of the most inspiring drummers I have ever come across. The sheer fact you see drumming less as philosophy and numbers and more as sheer enjoyment and musicianship makes me just sit behind the kit and lay into something groovy, the way I feel it. Love your work in Lillake, hope the tour is going well.
Thanks Eric for sharing this lesson on pocket playing. I rarely chop, and have never had a shortage of gigs. Take notes young drummers on how to be a pro✌🏾
Beautiful, swinging, and right in the pocket. Wonderful!
🚥🥁🚥🎸🚥🎹🚥🎤🚥🔥 watched a few of his vids and think this guy is just of the hook he makes those drums and symbles sing with a groove . Top musician ..best drummer I've herd on the tube ..☝️
Now this is what I like the most. Just sit back and groove. Beautiful
Nice Work Eric Moore, your so Amazing, with the Taste of Classic Groove's.
Best video Eric Moore has done! I've watched it over 100 times already. That groove is so hypnotic! Well done man. Keep these groove videos coming!
I enjoy playing (and hearing) a solid groove over chops any day. Awesome stuff!
Dude, far from boring. Groove is EVERYTHING.
Why would anyone give this a thumbs down?! EM is LAYING it down like no other! And he's looking sharp at the same time. C'mon somebody!
if your ass doesn't start bouncin' or foot start tappin' when you hear this ice cold steady groove... you have no soul. Great upload.
this make you wanna light some candles cook a nice dinner for your girl or wife and keep this on repeat lol but this dude style can't be touch and he's humble. I had to learn that it's not about your chops, tricks or rolls it's your pocket
Love it! So in the pocket. After a great run, walk, and swim, seeing turtle hatchlings enter the water, bopping to this music. You're a great multidimensional musician. Hats off.
Beautiful. This kind of playing is loved by the other musicians as it creates space for them. This kind of respect is huge. Chops? Not so much. Only other drummers care about that noise.
I was told by an old school rock drummer to practice the groove and no fills try it and see how hard it is just to keep it going .When you get into the pocket the drum sticks seem to sink and you feel the groove all the way thru your body all four limbs independent so sweet .
Is great that you made this video "just" grooving. Anyhow is not even the chops or any drumming skill what makes you stand out...imo is the passion and happy attitude you have when playing or talking about drums. That is more inspiring to me that anything realated with techique or skills ( not that you are lacking any of those of course!! ;) )
You are just Amazing! Thanks
I love pockets. Love em!! I often just behind the kit, just sittin in the pocket. It's meditative.
Congrats man very very musical playing, this is much more important for young drummers to understand, FIRST the playing and then the showing off. Good Work!
Groove is deep, couldn't stop bobbing my head if I tried. Need more videos from you like this!
Hands down one of the best drummers ive ever heard, loved the video on Drumeo! all about them hi-hat chops!
this is what 'real' drummers love. The groove. The snare, the kick, fills when appropriate. None of that flashy business designed to show your better and faster than the other drummer.
Total groove......love it
A pleasure to listen to a master go about his craft.
I wish I had as much fun playing drums as you do, probably the happiest drummer I see on youtube. Your an inspiration my friend:)
so good. nice house too. living the dream
bro I can listen to this all day man, just how u stayin in the groove/pocket. love it. good to see u put up vids like this
And that is all most gigs call for, but still lovely to hear. DW for life!!
Im still trying to find this exact track to play too like the Legendary ERIC MORE someone help a brother out if you know it! So addictive to watch a great drummer playing to this awesome track!
The ability to play everything and then constantly hold back and push pocket deeper instead of overplaying shows a true professional. Just subbed. Love the cymbals.. Those splashes are excellent!
Love this! There is a HUGE place for pocket drummers staying in the groove and letting the melody and music do the work. Good stuff man.
This is beautiful! Just listening to a groove is 😍😍
Just as impressive as any of your other crazy chops. In fact, your real talent shows in how you can serve a song. You are a master of playing for the song. The is amazing, man. Much love!!
One of my top favorites
My 1 year old son is obsessed with your videos he does your movements, counts in and even "beat boxes" your beats yes I said my son is one years old it's so amazing to watch.....
I think I watch this video every day. It's inspired me so much in my drumming.
Bruhh those hats are CRISP!!! Dang those are nice sounding. Diggin it dude!! Would love to see more of these! Just groovin!
Thank you for recording and posting this video. As a drummer myself and a fan of yours. It is great to hear that a legend such as yourself still believes in pocket. Most drummers in 'this day and time don't believe in that. It's either chops or nothing. Again Thank you.
Hands down my favorite I've heard so far. Listened to a dozen or so now. New subscriber.
always a great inspiration ! i like your play. 😃
Love ❤️ it that pocket with simple feels
Thanks for posting this, my man. You're a hell of a player, but you're right the internet is filled with videos of you going off. For me, this is truly refreshing to hear you play much more stripped back, and as you said just 'laying the groove'.
Your description made me smile because as a beginner drummer I'd be so proud of myself just to play what you consider "not flashy". We all gotta start somewhere right? Fantastic groove....compliments the music well.
One of my biggest inspirations to keep me going. Good to see you again at NAMM last weekend!
LOVE THIS! great style man, just Nodding my head away. Groovy 😎
Love your style! So much luv in it! You born to do this!
Smooth, crispy, tasty!! Nicely done Sir!!
Thats wat i call''time''love the video.the song .the sound was refreshing and nice.😎🇵🇷
Eric,
I can't get enough of this. Monster chops are great, but you've got such solid groove. A true inspiration to me. Thank you!
Hats are awesome.
Both sounding.
And the timing of being played.
Solid as…
Oh yeah!!!!! Such a chops drummer showing how professional he is, great job! Love your chops, but when you keep it in the pocket... damn! !!!!! God bless you!!!! Big shout out from Brazil!
I ❤❤❤ this so much!
Love it. Never heard of you or your chops but I'll remember you and your groove!
Going to find out what chops are....
Solid . That's all I can say. Realy like the transition fills and hi-hat. Laying it down down brother. God bless and Aloha.
MAD RESPECT for ya Eric!!! Awesome playing period dude. Appreciate you!!!!
That ride is crazy!
Thank you for posting this.
When i'm at church I like to hear a lil chop here and there. Sometimes I just want to groove though. Love this video.
The more i watch this the more I'm learning how to kick back on the chops haha love this vid man thanks :D
Just great!
