Who the hell would give this a thumbs down? I saw him in 83 with Weather Report and he was incredible then and here he is 30 years later reinventing himself. This is the best I've ever seen him.
The first time I ever saw Omar Hakim was in Mike Mainieri's band rockin a rather nice set of Grestch drums, then later with Weather Report as Peter Erskine's replacement and lastly with Sting on the "Dream of the blue turtles" tour.Each and every time; he had something fresh to say - he's 100% musician.
I remember Omar with sting in the early to mid eighties and he was a monster player back then and is a monster player now. He's one of my all time favorites.
booyaa!!!! i agree with Omar....still my favorite after all these years....he is definitely hooked in....such snap , energy, and musicality...if everybody played like this.....we'd be better off...
Muy buena la banda, pero como siempre y una vez más tu calidad para hacer sonar tu batería no deja de asombrarme, Omar Hakim. Eres un grande entre los grandes, un verdadero maestro para mí. Salud, Omar!
Yeah man. I got an Omar Hakim poster from Pearl at my parents house that is over 25 years old. One of my favorites back in the 1980s and one of my favorites in the 2010s.
Great clip of the trio. Beautiful playing by Omar. However, the audio for the upright bass could have been a little louder. He gets lost in the mix of drums and piano.
OH MAN. yea. My first, albeit unknown at the time, exposure to Omar was Dire Straits. BEST. DRUMMER. EVER! Years later, i realised all the songs i loved the drums of, were done by him. IDK who'd give this 20 dislikes...
Ellen Sublime agreed! both great talent. was just checking trio of oz. I just learned she's a professor in so I guess that's where more of her focus is going these days.
Una forza della natura ,impressiona la potenza e la tecnica con il tocco ,che sa essere delicato. È a buon diritto nell ' Olimpo dei batteristi.
Lord of drums!
I would say that Sting made Dream of the Blue Turtles a great album because he wrote it, but i'd prefer to say that Omar's playing MADE that album..
Very hip. Very musical. Plenty of chops, but never over-done. Beautiful!
I'll always remember Omar playing on tour witht Weather Report. He was very impressive.
extremadrummer I remember.. I couldn’t take my eyes off him. He was mesmerizing.
My idol...for decades.
Omar has the skip in his beat that's so funky. Pure love and music from this guy. No wonder he's so in demand. Beautiful!

Love Omar! Glad to see him back on real drums after promoting Roland for so long.
Absolutely brilliant
Excellent playing!!!!! Very lifeful, joyful, congratulations, Hakim!!!!!
The first song is a jazz version of Angry Chair from Alice in chains! jajaja that's amazing.
Nothing but love for this drummer extraordinaire -- still amazing, still funky!
Primera vez que oigo esto... alucinante !!!!
He meshes together so well with the other musicians. They connect on an otherworldly level.

He was a monster player waaaaaay before his association with Sting, Omar Hakim has been around for a very long time.
Love Omar - animated. Love his signature sticks and snare...
Wow!.. Omar your killing it!
One of my ALL time favorite drummers
You will never expect such a cover... RESPECT!!! Alice in chains!
Don't often see drummers enjoying themselves this much-he lets rip and the music goes with him.Pure joy.
All the phrases he plays are so smooth and musical!! Passionate, but still beautiful touch!!
This absolutely amazing and crazy. Angry Chair from AIC as I've never expected. Wow!!!
I got to meet him after the "We Want Miles" concert in 2012. We had a great chat! Thanks Omar !!! :D
booyaa!!!! i agree with Omar....still my favorite after all these years....he is definitely hooked in....such snap , energy, and musicality...if everybody played like this.....we'd be better off...
Thx ET's for sending this to my planet!!
Magical.

Omar is incredible !
I love this guy - Omar gets better with age. And he has those Pearl Masters singin'!
Cool drumming. I like the bass, too.

Gully Foyle hakimsuld
Awesome!
Nice i like when is more drums than other instrument plus is first time i see omar hakim playing. Wow
Perfecto❤
superb!
Very musical
fantastico
This is an excellent video...Omar is one of the best...The pianist is killing, I wish she were more present in the mix. Very nice though!!
Saw his work on daft punk's grammy performance. Amazing!
Wow, he's so passionate
Great clip of the trio. Beautiful playing by Omar. However, the audio for the upright bass could have been a little louder. He gets lost in the mix of drums and piano.
Can barely hear his bass drum even with decent earphones. Is it just the mix?
Still got it.
Hell of a drummer. Technical. I wonder who the drummer was when I heard modern love.
I want Omar touring with Daft Punk next year...
what's the song
Finest playing of cardboard box's I've ever heard!
Love that he uses two rides
That was some angry sticks!
un gran baterista, una leyenda
Wow. How cool is that now?! Ha!
Masterr...
Everybody Practice well. MerryChristmas, Ciao
i really like his small diameter hats
The playing is wicked good BUT the way he plays that hihat with his foot thru several parts is next level.
is this a forum or a place to vent?
Yeah,!
Wow.
Who on earth thumbs down this???!! They must have expected mumble rap
Muito bom!
Man this is SO tasty...
HAKIM!!!
OH MAN. yea. My first, albeit unknown at the time, exposure to Omar was Dire Straits. BEST. DRUMMER. EVER! Years later, i realised all the songs i loved the drums of, were done by him. IDK who'd give this 20 dislikes...
OMAR!!!still my dude...
One cool cat, his playing puts the S in smooth
This guy has machine like precission
Rachel Z on the piano.
I agree, the drums are up front in the mix.....that being said,who cares?
This is one talented cat
Nice ! more rock should get jazzed
And more jazz should get rocked.
Journey must have some taste coming up with the sub like Omar but they got to be paying him LARGE a week to show up and play at that level.
4:24 whah....
I love Omar Hakim, I love Alice in Chains...but this combination wasn't for me.
Swinging
ok....who's the female on the piano ?
+Ellen Sublime and they are husband and wife right?
Ellen Sublime agreed! both great talent. was just checking trio of oz. I just learned she's a professor in so I guess that's where more of her focus is going these days.
poor guy plays pearl.
what do you play ?
Listen to them man, they sound great.
Mapex all the way baby!
Mapex? lol

take the music out of the Technique and you are left with nothing
This here absorbs all the negativity in the world. Understand? No - then you do not belong here. Period. So, get out!
Ok, self-appointed gatekeeper to all things smart and spiritual :D
Oh shut up
Silly pretentious child. GTFO, nub.
Not to "nit pick" but if he would have shown a little more enthusiasm at the ending, it would have been worth setting through... kinda lack luster.
????????
@@Hhhlll7778 It's a joke.
Fantastico akim
Awesome!
