Peter Erskine is one of those sleeping giants. there's a lot of subtle finesse, dexterity and genius in his work, but he's not a show off. but when he decides to really break it out, he'll fucking floor you
After Freddie Gruber passed away, Neil Peart continued his lessons with Peter Erskine. That's who Peter Erskine is - the man a Professor goes to for lessons.
Just so everyone knows who this guy is... he is a legand.. Peter Erskine is an American jazz drummer who was a member of the jazz fusion groups Weather Report(Jaco's Drummer) and Steps Ahead (wiki). pay attention...
He also did a stint with Steely Dan in the 90s and has played with hundreds of artists as a session musician including Joni Mitchell. I love his playing on the Michael Franks album Blue Pacific.
Don't miss his beautifully subtle, mostly ballad, playing on Kurt Elling's Flirting with Twilight, to say nothing of his rock-solid playing on the Bob Mintzer Big Band's first album, Incredible Journey (if you can find a copy,) and on Jaco's live album, Invitation, to name a few.
Thats a bravery drummer. He dont need any mic to put or any EQ while to teach us. Some drummer are very buzy to put EQ, choose the high quality studio, the sound and set the very perfect tuning to the drum went they're do their video.. All that is to make their self look good in our viewing (not the quality of teaching). Some of them just too show off.. Thanks peter, the drum sound was pure just like in our home. And that very realistic. The explain and the lesson is very absorb just because of that.
Awesome! Love Pete's playing! I did a lot of that hi hat stuff back in the day. It was almost unconsiuos for me. The hi hat splash and chick chick stuff. Very cool!! Had the great privilege of watching him live in a small venue in LA back in 2001 I think it was. Not more than 10 feet away. Just incredible stuff! Amazing drummer!! Thanks, Pete!
I really enjoyed Mr. Erskines grooves on the studio work with Weather Report. Volcano for Hire drumming was like a stew pot bubbling to near overflow but controlled and tasty...that is Peter Erskines percussion feel .
Yes peter Erskine may best friends good Rytme good composition best jazz fusion Steve tavaglion david Witham john patitucci cool jazz music fusion I love
It's a Zildjian 22 K Constantinople Medium Ride. But his ride has special hammering, especially around the bell (can show pictures). Newer models are very similar though but older often had a "week bell" that made them sound "hollow" (I've owned four of them but have now one very similar to his)

Trying to work on this. Heel down kills my shin muscle. Hoping to build up endurance and control
One of the worlds greatest, most underrated drummers. Superman.

Thank you and what a great groove at the end.
I love how he just slightly edits the chord tension. What a maestro

Cherp, chick, chi. An A tude in fineness.
Reminds me of the way officer Jones teaches karate.

Legendary drummer but this clip is hardly worthy of a lesson of any sort.
