Probably one of the most underrated drummers alive. Rodney is as fast as any other player who maintains feel/clarity, has an extremely diverse set of styles, and is as creative as anybody.
One of the last few drummers of that era that has serious chops but knows only when to interject with them tastefully! Brilliant ! Thanks to Meinl for this HD video showing Rodney in all his glory !!! Yes
I got to watch Rodney play with Steve Kimmock back in ‘06, from about 6’ away the whole evening. My mind was blown into little bits. I was particularly struck by the left foot technique on his hi-hat, rapidly floating it open and closed in 1/8 notes. I’d never seen anyone do that before or since.
Rod "The God"! The blistering, signature chops show up but ONLY when it serves the song, never as a means to show off! His expressive playing style is so tasteful and truly unique! Not only an elite drummer but an incredible musician/ songwriter! This sounds amazing! "Twelve Months of October" was not just another album to me - It was extra special! I'm definitely hyped for Axiom! Bring it on Rodney!
MEINL produces excellent musical instruments, having made great progress in recent years. Special thanks for the sound quality, for any musical style. Thanks.
I miss watching him play. My brother and I use to go Steve Kimock Band in Trenton, NJ at a long lost club known at the time as (The Conduit) and they had a little cafe restaurant next door, So before the show, we went for something to eat and ended up eating right next to the entire band. Steve, Rodney, Alfonz and I forget the other member.
Damn my short ass arms would be so uncomfortable with the rack toms that far away from the snare. Lol. I need everything almost touching and compact. But Rodney has always had a unique set up and such a sick drummer. Always love how his Tama kits sound

Well, I think it goes beyond promoting their cymbals. I think they're doing what they can to support their artists :)
AJ Glick their first and foremost goal is to sell more cymbals. There’s no doubt about it.
@@barad-dur9236 well duh it’s a company👀

FINALLY!!! A video about drumming that is musical and not just some gospel chops, look at me, rhythmic gymnastics.
Hellyeah !
Yeeeuuup. Gospel chops get repetitive after a while. Groove and phrasing for now
Rodney Holmes is a monster! He makes everything look effortless. Best live drummer I’ve seen in person.
He is absolutely awesome! The song is beautiful!

Rodney is such a great player. Thank you for posting
Just an effortless groove & those flourishes... So slick, a joy to watch.
... with Jimi Tunnell on vocals and guitar. He played this for me in his studio, a couple times. Very nice :-)

Rodney owns groove. Period.
Came to this channel because of periphery. I'm so glad I watched this video because I like the word "ghost". What an amazing drummer!
Oh he's very good. Very very cool. Love that ice white kit in that setting. Gets round the kit so easily with that traditional grip.
Spectacular Performance! Great sounding Cymbals too
Very amazing time switching, nice smooth transitions and some smokin fills.
Love to see Rodney playing, since I saw him in Wayne Shorter band. And his spectrum ride is so amazing.
I respect this guy. He's awesome!
Perfect groove and spice... Rodney is a beast!!!
