The original drummer of Heatwave is probably the funkiest drummer of all time. No lie. I'm a musician and grew up listening to Heatwave. The First song I learned as a Bassist was Boogie Nights. I'm also a lead singer. People can't tell me and Johnnie Wilder apart as Singers.
When Heatwave first came out I always thought he the best drummer I've ever heard. My brother wrote a songs for Zapp & Roger Troutman. "Computer Love" " I Wanna Be Your Man" "Slow & Easy " etc.
You know- I,ve been wathcing this clip for 3 years, and this is the first time I've ever thought to tell you how much it means to mean. Im an ICU nurse and have dealt with all the things during covid. This was what I have watched over and over to- bring me down- deal with it-try to live my life, try to bring me back to humanity. Its like meditation for me. A happy place. Your drumming is hypnotic and spot on, you deal with it all and make it better than it probably ever was to begin with. I really cant express all this has meant to me, and how many times I have drowned in your perfection, while trying to deal with everything else. So, just a heartfelt, Thank You.
Brilliant! I've returned to this video often over the past seven or eight years whenever I needed a hit of funk adrenaline and it never fails to deliver.
I agree 💯% , unfortunately he wasn't in a lot of the videos . Most drummers get quite a bit of camera time but it didn't seem like they wanted show him because of his size . Just like C& C Music factory
I'm 44 years old and the first song I ever danced to was Boogie Nights by HeatWave. But on another level...I never thought in a million years that somebody would actually do Groove Line this precise. Your drum skills are amazing.
"a song from my high school day's" "he apparently mastered this PERFECTLY" ... "GOOD WORK"... "GOOD VIBE'S"... "THEY SURE DON'T MAKE EM LIKE THIS ANYMORE"... "BRING'S BACK TO ME A HAPPIER TIME IN OUR WORLD"... "THANK YOU FROM DETROIT/HAMTRAMCK MI " ... ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 😊
Lynnm1956 Back in day when music really meant something other than special effects, push button - knob turning computer programmed box music. And real people actually sang with out auto-tunes.
This has to be one of the most bad ass drum lines ever in recorded history of funk Jazz Disco and this white boy has it down pat !!!...so much soul and drum fills I love his high hat work and it gives me gives the chills .
This guy is one hell of a drummer, it's absolutely mind blowing that someone can play with such extreme power, with a set of powerful drums, dynamic!!!
Never seen a white guy with this much soul before. There's hope yet. Lol. Nah but I've watched this video enough times to let me know that you got it mane. I mean the left and right hand coordination on those skins is phenomenal bruh. 👊🏿🔥👊🏿🔥👊🏿🔥
That this drummer is great is without question! That said, HeatWave was one hell of a group in 1978! I enjoyed their music on WAGL many times that year!
I have honestly lost count of how many times I have listened to this over the years. This is the only Groove Line I keep coming back to. Alan is a badass drummer.
I've watched this video for over years, and it is still one of my favorites. Alans' cover of Ginos songs and Graham Lear's drumming is the best in the world. Alan is not only dedicated, but he is accurate. I appreciate his hard work and effort to demonstrate the craft of some of the best drumming in the world, and seeing it up close as personal is priceless. ❤
I've watched this video many times over the years, and I can swear I used to see him at a Starbucks in Westchester, CA by LAX. Same hat, same shades and gloves on the patio using the table as a pad.
Never seen a drummer before playing the drums wearing a back-to-front baseball cap, a pair of wraparound sunglasses, gloves and flip flops ! This is an highly impressive drum cover, superb rhythm and timing. to keep this tempo up for nearly eight minutes requires concentration and discipline !
Dude, with only ten days to go until you hit the five year mark on this, congrats on the views, reviews and talent that went into this. You took a great song, and introduced it to new generations of fans. Hope this has brought you further success in your career and life. You should be proud.
Hey, thanks for that. And yes, I've met a TON of new music lovers and great people because of this video. It transcends time. Young and old dig it. I hope it keeps on going. And the next one, Boogie Nights, will be even better.
I’ve watched this 20 times and drank 5 beers and still cant get enough of this ! Absolutely a badass drummer and to see Rod Pemberton doing his thing , dammit thanks for the memories
My God this is fantastic I recently bought a drum set because my first wife stoled mine and I bought a Yamaha set for $5,000 it's big I'm so happy to have it but my wife of 26 years was murdered by a doctor 2020 she's gone she worked in the world trade center in the 80s she was my everything and I can't wait to leave this earth to be with her God bless in Jesus name amen
@@zerodefectmachine NO. THANK YOU.. FROM BOSTON MASS. ! AND YOU TOLD ME ABOUT YOUR DAUGHTER PLAYING?? AN INSTRUMENT. SO COPL. sorry about the caps If you want go to face book and look up Paul. G Flynn. You will see my irish/Korean children that ROCK! God Bless u. B SAFE. This virus is so scary!
My favourite version! This esteemed man is wearing flip flops and doing this. I'm not a drummer but this whole thing is insane. And a fantastic song honoured, huge.
Music is timeless, and great songs become classics. Rod and HEATWAVE were brilliant. I'm still amazed how many people love this song after so many decades and I appreciate your comments from all over the world. So please Like, Subscribe, and drop a comment about the song and how it makes you feel. Have a great day, everyone!
As a lover of drumming since I was 6 years old an still to this day aged 60 it's a fantastic instrument with so many dynamics how couldn't I love your video.!? You keep on bro 🥁👍😊
Wow! This song really takes me back to my youth! Dancing to this song at the Agora night club in Youngstown Ohio! I was about 18 or 19 in those days! The Disco craze was in full bloom! This song was a huge favorite of mine! I am now nearly 67 years old and I still want to get up and dance to it! Thank you so much for the memories! ❤❤
It's mid March 2019. I was stationed in Germany when this came out; appreciated the groove then and even more now because not only can you hear that most funky drum beat but seeing this very cool drummer with his equally cool sunglasses and driving gloves is extraordinarily smooth:-) 5 out of 5 stars........................
zerodefectmachine: I was 16 years old when this song came out in 1976. I have to say you have the best sound beat when it comes to playing the drums. I enjoyed listing to it Thank You for posting.
You really don't appreciate the drumming until you actually see it being performed. You sir are bad ass, and this is one of my favorite songs by Heatwave. Thanks!
My parents played Heatwave, D Train, The Brothers Johnson, and others when we went on road trips. Being a former drummer, I wanted to know how to learn the beat to this song because its so unique. Forget the beat machines. Drummers have true talent.
Actually Ernest "Bilbo" Berger is the original drummer from England. He added the jazz sound to Heatwave. He passed away September of 2019 . He was a heck of a drummer that did not get enough attention . We Love You Bilbo
Fucking Quality. I can't stop coming back to this. Skills my friend of the highest order. Found this American 12inchversion on vinyl recently for only 20 odd quid. One of the best Tunesof all time.
Okay I saw this video six months ago....I use to play a sax growing up! I’m 50 years old I have been taking drum lessons for 6 months I’m killing it! Thanks for the inspiration!!!!
Dude. You KILLED this! 🔥🔥🔥💯💯❗️❗️❗️ I didn’t see you miss A beat!! It was such a joy to watch you slaughter this classic! 🎉 I do hope that you are exercising your gift somewhere so others can have the pleasure of hearing you play live. 🙂
this guy should do more covers like this :) kc and the sunshine band had this great rhythm as well and many many more groups like them the 70s had the most awesome hi hat cymbal action and huge tom drums was the thing..and the bass drums went Boom Boom ..not wimpy like modern ones that go tap tap instead.today..it was all awesome and you can hear why ..the sound was the king of the dance floors it's like a roller coaster ride and once it takes off hold on your surfing the sound waves .. god i remember this around 78 was always awesome
I was 15 when my Dad who passed a few weeks ago introduced me to the 45” of this song. That’s right...in ‘92 I was bumping this “45 on a record player daily. 🔊🔊 🥁 🥁🎶🎶🔥🔥 Remarkable drum set and cover! 🤜🏾🤛🏾
The man in the sun glasses, and base ball hat covering heat waves groove line on the drums, TOTALLY AWESOME, SICK BRO, OFF THE CHAIN, EXCELLENT COVER🥁🥁🇬🇧
I know nothing about drumming. But this is one of my very favourite songs, and this man is a stone cold killer imho on this track. I keep coming back. So well done.
what can i say.... your a master!! I keep coming back to watch this ... im obsessed with the drumming! its so well done... its the epitome of coolness!!... this is such a feel goodl song, and this performance is better than the original... it demonstrates the work that goes into it. epic!!!

How many of you have watched this video at least over 20 times? I'm guilty. The drums just sound so damn good.
I watched it a million time .. figure of speech
🙋♀️
It gave me the Funky chills !!

Yup his drums are like xylophones !!
This is a phenomenal example of why old school disco music still matters!
Got that right!

It’s amazing!
So pleased to say original Heatwave drummer is my family member🙏Amazing Bilbo from Czechoslovakia❤
Ernest Berger 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 very amazing drummer. As a drummer myself I’ve always admired his work and style.
The original drummer of Heatwave is probably the funkiest drummer of all time. No lie. I'm a musician and grew up listening to Heatwave.
The First song I learned as a Bassist was Boogie Nights.
I'm also a lead singer. People can't tell me and Johnnie Wilder apart as Singers.
O,wow he is amazing... they were a very diverse group.
How did he learn funk in Czech land?
When Heatwave first came out I always thought he the best drummer I've ever heard. My brother wrote a songs for Zapp & Roger Troutman. "Computer Love" " I Wanna Be Your Man" "Slow & Easy " etc.

Yup, he did the damn thing. The dude is just plain out raw. Bravo...
Give it up for the DRUMMER!!!!!! Love it 🥰
Awesome bad to the bone
Absolutely!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
That snare timing is not easy. He is very good
Nice
His choices are very tasteful.
Nobody on this planet touching him when it comes to this drum cover..GOAT!!!!
Brilliant! I've returned to this video often over the past seven or eight years whenever I needed a hit of funk adrenaline and it never fails to deliver.
What a great tribute to one the most underrated drummers, Heatwave's Ernest "Bilbo" Berger.
He was so great!
Poor Ernest criminally underrated even in their videos.
Always loved how he played especially off the To Hot Too Handle and Central Heating albums. RIP.
@@alexrosales1175 when did he pass?
I agree 💯% , unfortunately he wasn't in a lot of the videos . Most drummers get quite a bit of camera time but it didn't seem like they wanted show him because of his size . Just like C& C Music factory

Nothing better than a drummer who sits in the pocket, doesn't overplay, and nails it like the record. Bad ass.
Thanks!
Back in the disco days the drummers carried the beat. They were not drum machines either. The real deal. You can tell the difference.
Abso-frickin'-lutely brotha. Drummers provide the FEEL.
YEP!
Lynnm1956 Right?!?!
Lynnm1956 true but dont forget that funky bass
Lynnm1956 Back in day when music really meant something other than special effects, push button - knob turning computer programmed box music. And real people actually sang with out auto-tunes.
White boy with some serious rhythm, Great job! I enjoyed his drumming!!!!
You acting like white boys can't play drums. 🤔
My man killed it, that's exactly the way it's played on the song from beginning to end.
I’m obsessed with this video lol makes me want to take up drum lessons lol

Heatwave drummer was a white guy 😉
Ran across this video years ago and probably watched it a hundred times over the years. Guy nails it!
Watcha Mate. Heatwave had no colour. Just blinding musicians....+ Johny, The Sound of Sunshine and Sir Rod The Leg End.
The writer was white. He also wrote for Michael Jackson. He was part of Heatwave...
That this drummer is great is without question! That said, HeatWave was one hell of a group in 1978! I enjoyed their music on WAGL many times that year!
Every few years I look at this video again. And it never fails.....AWESOME video.
HES A MONSTER ON THE DRUMS,WOW😛
This was the jam back in the day
U are not lying!!!!!❤️💯
His name is Alan badia and he's been playing the drums for a long time. He kills it on the drums.
He's no joke
If this doesn't get you groovin you have no soul
I agree!
You are better each time I listen and I am doing a lot don't ever stop playing
I concur
I CAN NOT stop watching this video!! He is SPOT ON and drumming is right in the pocket!! Fantastic.....nuff said!!
Thanks, Rick!
Old School 1970's
Same here! I really enjoy watching him play. Great job!
He played the shit out ta those drums. I'm going to buy a drum set on gp!!!!

Trust me, dude IS Pro
absolutely flawless and on point..this cat is a total badass on the drums .. I blown away..two thumbs up
This is awesome. This guy literally does not miss a beat.
I never really appreciated "the drums" until I heard an entire set played. WOW! JUST W O W!!!
Yeah, there's quite a bit going on with the percussive sounds.
I wish I could Like this video a thousand times. Just excellent.
I teach English in Vietnam. We had a lesson about music and I played this vid. My kids were absolutely mesmerized! Thank you!
I can not stop watching this dude he is so good and not missing a beat
