actually this is his mini kit and is constantly assembed. it's on a rolling platform and can be moved in 3 parts. he can just put this in his van, roll it out and play it.
I saw him back in 1980 when he started a band called Missing Persons. His wife was on another level of singing, as well (Dale). They were both young and loads of energy. Terry, set up his kit (not like this one) near the front of the stage (on my side). I was in the front row and didn't expect to see him so close. There were no stage barriers at the time, so I could nearly touch his leg. Anyways, I didn't know much about him, but knew all the songs with their first album tour. I'll tell you people right now. I've never, ever, seen a man play the drums with so much energy and all out rage, as Terry, that night. He was a man possessed. It was a privileged to be in the small venue at that time and to be so close to him, I may as well be sitting on part of his chair. I can't even describe his playing but to say, it was Godly insane. Much respect to this man. He is in my top 3 best drummers of all time. Noted: That I was privileged to see Neil Peart warm up for 30 minutes in rehearsals (standing near his drumkit), as I was on the stage crew with Rush for a few venue's. Neil was different in warm ups, as he was unrestricted. So he went at it hard and it was phenomenal and put on a much better show for the crew than on a live set. But, I rate Terry Bozzio's play slightly better, because of his relentless energy to kill those drums, that night (43 years ago). Folks, both are incredible drummers ,if you ever have a chance to see Terry play, then go.
Props to Jimmy on bass for keeping this all together. Well done I’ve also noticed that Terry, Danny Carrey and other prominent drummers leave their snare off most of the time.
Well, sympathetic snare wire vibration is annoying and creates noise for everything getting played. Often a pain to control no matter & still Maintain a great snare sound. Maybe I should attempt it more often. Depends on type / genre of music too.
@@Dzendoss if you overmic a drum kit then the sound will spill over. So if you have a microphone on your snare AND your crash cymbal, both microphones will pick up sounds from the snare and the crash. When you're mixing, it causes problems because of this.
Nice to see Bozzio keeping pace after so many years. After Zappa passed away it must have changed his world dramatically. Once you hit 60 years old dexterity slows.But Terry shows at 66 today he can keep up.

I bet they mic a lot of stuff in groups. There are problems that come with adding so many microphones in close proximity. Primary drum are probably mic'd separately.
I saw him live two years ago. His kit is massive, and it seemed to me he used maybe 70% of what was there… for sure not everything, but a lot. He introduced his drum tuner who I guess is crazy good (or maybe just crazy!?) from Finland or Poland and travels with him full time, tuning each drum for every show. 😳 That seems like a bigger job than micing everything.
Ryan Gabriel Mahinay honestly that doesn’t sound to far off. When you think about the hundreds of thousands of dollars that could have went into this, a million sounds about right
Not nearly!!! A million. Gear is expensive but get real. For a million you could get the ENTIRE stage set up. Guitar, bass, amps, mixing board and all. Im a drummer and well aware of how expensive gear is. A MILLION is a TON of money. For a million these guys will play at YOUR HOUSE. 😆 But it SOUNDS like a million bucks.
The dude is definitely amazing. However for me at this exact moment being extremely sleepy, the trippy smooth funky earlier sound was the balls. I could honestly get lost in it and relax til it takes me to dreamland. Soooo good!
Terry's amazing, when I saw him at GC he had a massive kit "Of Course" but amazingly had like 3 seperate beats going on all while keeping it going.... He's absolutely AMAZING!!!
Me walking into the drum store. "Hi, I'd like to buy some drums please." "Sorry, we don't have any drums." "What? How could you not have any drums? What happened?" "Terry Bozzio happened."
I was about to leave a negative comment but woah! Reading the other peoples opinion the hate has gone too far! Just because he has a massive kit does not mean he has to go all out with speed and loudness just to "prove" that he is worthy of this kit/setup. There were some nice subtleties in there and I enjoyed the performance.
speak your mind, don't be a sheep, you weren't that impressed right, I would have preferred another drummer and a normal drum kit also, I think Terry was ordinary here, and a little annoying with some of those standard rock fills.
@@markuschelios6891 I've grown to appreciate this much more in the 7 years since I left this comment. Also I think it's spelled Darren. Idk man I was in middle school
You kinda have to be familiar with Terry's drumming history to understand why he plays such a large kit and where his drumming style comes from. Back in the day, when playing with Zappa, this guy was an absolute MANIAC on the drumkit, playing weird offbeat accents and having an overall fast, energetic and experimental playing style. Up untill this very day, drummers are still influenced by it and he can be easily noted as one of music history's most influental drummers, allthough his legacy is a bit undermined by the fact that he has always played experimental stuff, not having a big mainstream succes story such as Bonham's, Peart or Bruford. At present time he is known for 'Melodic drumming', in which he not only uses misleadingly tough ostinato's but also uses drums that are tuned along a melodic scale. He tours the world giving performances on just his drum kit, joining a beat and melody seemlessly. This performance is cool, but does not really do him justice. This is as brief as I can get on Bozzio. If you wanna get into this, I suggest you start by watching Zappa's 'Baby Snakes' concert. Cheers to you all, and happy drumming
Monsterslag / where is holdsworth, he should be here. . agree baby snakes is still his best solo. . much younger then. . no ride cymbals at all. . had that same shitty sound with uk too.
Music Store: Hello sir! How can I help you? Terry Bozio: I want the drum section Music Store: Oh, you want to see the drum section? Terry: Pay attention to what I said Music Store: Shiii...
GC's sucks these days, I feel like I'm going into a Ghetto shop where they hire idots that are clueless, they don't have anything.. I spent THOUSANDS at GC's but these days... I buy on line... No Idiots and no one will tell me "We have to order it"..... No, I have to orde4r it...
Totally agree... I have had so many bad experiences with GC. Back in the 90’s it was THE place to go, but now they are just a bunch of know-nothin doofuses who just needed a job
@@jackwilczynski6957 - Well, that could be due to the fact that you watched one song of the performance from that night. I'm sure they didn't set up his massive drum kit and call in other outstanding musicians to play one song (hence "part 1" in the title). No one seems to have any common sense these days...
I notice a lot of comments about the Monster kit, some like it, some don't, some say it's too much there to use, what ever. But still any way you look at it, This is one Mega impressive performance. Just one heck of a lot going on. And when you listen to all the different sounds/tones he comes up with it is very musical stuff, and to get them he moves all over the kit in a way that is very unique. When you watch the "moves" he seems to create the illusion of elevating off of the throne or something, climbing all over the kit. I don't think he does, but he sure moves around. Same thing with the Zappa "Baby Snakes" solo years earlier. Impressive, different. He's got his own sound/style. (understatement)
Why don't you post some of your "quality" for all of us to critique? I'll wager $100 to anyone that you are likely a very average drummer who couldn't touch Bozzio's level of playing.
I never cared for Terry’s random chaotic playing but dudes got the chops and he’s very compositional. That’s what makes him a beast. His kit is the very reason DW drums cost a small fortune. They’ve got to make up the money somehow because DW has literally given them all to Terry lol !!!!
Bozzios playing is not what I would describe as random or chaotic. This video doesn’t do him great justice. He’s one of the most calculated & precise drummers that ever lived.
Not saying Neil isn't a good drummer because he is...but the fact is...he is only a rock drummer...at best...Bozzio on the other hand has been all over the place and played many differant styles of music over the years...he has far more devoloped skill sets...I will say this too you cannot be a one dimensional rock drummer and be with the like of Zappa...still not to take anything from Peart...
+Joel White Agreed. Zappa demanded a fairly wide range of capabilities from his musicians, and while a huge chunk of Zappas work is much the same, anyone who is a huge fan of his will also know that his entire range was vast, and you simply dont get to play with Zappa for as long as Bozzio did without being, not just good, but really fucking good at your work.
His drumset actually creates purified water derived from hydrogen fuel cells which consequently provides electricity to poor children in South America.
Seriously, this is just one video. If you want to judge Terry Bozzio, listen to the Zappa albums, or to Bozzio Levin Stevens, Polytown or Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop. Hell, even his drumming on that Korn album is pretty bad-ass. It's like judging Jimmy Page from that crappy "It Might Get Loud" documentary. Both of these musicians made history. A few less-than-stellar moments now and then doesn't change that.
I'm really saddened by the comments for this video. I've followed Terry Bozzio for awhile and all these asshats who don't know a fucking thing about him say "oh well he didn't play ...." Go fuck yourself. He's been replacing your favorite drummers longer than you've been alive.
It seems like this kit is more about convenience for him anyway Nobody criticizes other musicians for not using every note available on their instruments, why do people criticize him for not using every piece in the kit for a particular song?
ThomasT I won't get into the argument of whether the guy is good or not, but as for your analogy: It's not the same as, let's say, a piano, or a guitar. Those instruments have their design set, for the most part. Whether you can or choose to play different notes or not is one thing. A drum kit is built, piece by piece. Pieces meant to be used.This guy kept adding stuff, and if he added stuff, it's because he meant to use them, but ultimately didn't. If he wasn't going to use all the pieces, then why build the entire kit? It seems it's mostly for show, of course, but it's just silly, in my opinion.
I think he means extreme and technical music isn't everything. Creativity and deviance must be mixed in with it for an effective and sense tingling sound. And that music be combined as a whole with artistic spirit.
to be brief, you can have technical compositions, but that does not mean the music is any good. you can have great music does not imply technical displays of ability. Marco Minneman, and PlanetX, I actually can not and have not sat through an entire record. Cobham's specturm is very well composed and very very enjoyable. Frank Zappa's music (live with Bozzio) is mind blowing. Zappa's orchestral compositions are incredible. Band's like Rush have maintained a great balance of composition and sound engineering. Bozzio here is playing great music. *Their* sound is just very pleasant.
He has stated that he needs them to fill the chromatic and diatonic scales, that he cannot do proper fills with two toms. So to answer the question, he uses the toms like a guitarist uses frets and strings; just because the drums take up more space than a fret board, doesn't mean they are any less necessary for proper musicality.
yes I know many of you criticize the size of bozzio's set However, if say for example the drums were tuned such that they could be arranged like a keyboard, then it would allow him to not only play fills, but play them in the key of song or decide on a key for a drum solo. If this were true, what appears as an excessive amount of drums now becomes drumming on a different level, moving into the percussionist realm where drumming on a kit moves into the mallet percussion neighborhood in your ability to play in an explicit tonality.
Most people commenting don't have a f***ing clue about what he's doing.1st the guy is a harmonic and melodic drummer, hence the amount of drums and cymbals. 2nd he is among the top drummer in the world, rhythmically speaking. Now just because he is not using all of his gear in a single song some ignorants here say that it's useless, or show off or whatever. To me it only says one thing: the guy is able to improvise on the spot while still listening to the other musicians around him and THAT is real musicianship!
This guy plays a 20+ piece set and everyone loses their mind but when John moffet played a five bass drum set up no one ever said anything about the absurdity of that
Was just going to say the same. When he was due to join korn wanted a cut of entire back catalogue and not just new stuff going forward. Bet he wished he joined now!!
@Berna There's no music here. He, like Steve Vai, are on a different level. They struggle to make music anyone really wants to hear. That's why no one really knows who he is. And for some reason, Drum Workshops kisses his ass.
Its amazing what he can do on such a simple kit...
hopefully one day he can afford more drums
It's beyond simple. It's minimalistic. Not even the standard kit, I started with one twice it

“Hey, can you mic 40 toms, 40 gongs and 40 cymbals?” **5 hours later** “oh thanks!” **plays 6 of each**
To be fair there looks like there was meant to be a part 2 that either was never done or never published
I bet they mic a lot of stuff in groups. There are problems that come with adding so many microphones in close proximity. Primary drum are probably mic'd separately.
I saw him live two years ago. His kit is massive, and it seemed to me he used maybe 70% of what was there… for sure not everything, but a lot.
He introduced his drum tuner who I guess is crazy good (or maybe just crazy!?) from Finland or Poland and travels with him full time, tuning each drum for every show. 😳 That seems like a bigger job than micing everything.
400th like
@@drummerboy0620 - Yes. 400 likes by mostly non-drummers who think Travis Barker is a great jazz drummer.
One of the most technically gifted and unique drummers I have ever seen.
As long as this guy is playing drums. Sabian and DW won't have to worry about getting bankrupt
@Diocletian About a million i guess lol
He's endorsed. He aint paying for that stuff.
That's why gear like DW cost so much, because famous guys get theirs for free.
Ryan Gabriel Mahinay honestly that doesn’t sound to far off. When you think about the hundreds of thousands of dollars that could have went into this, a million sounds about right
Not nearly!!! A million. Gear is expensive but get real.
For a million you could get the ENTIRE stage set up. Guitar, bass, amps, mixing board and all.
Im a drummer and well aware of how expensive gear is.
A MILLION is a TON of money.
For a million these guys will play at YOUR HOUSE. 😆
But it SOUNDS like a million bucks.
@@jasperjenkins7729 DW is so expensive because they throw away so many shells. That is why they started PDP so they can dump their lesser quality.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIGHHHT
I'd love that kit,,just swing somewhere and you'll hit something...
One of my favorite Terry Bozzio performances ever!
I watched him do a really long, rambling drum solo on a huge drumkit 37 years ago. So much has changed.
...in the world around him.
Yes it's starting to catch up
i would love to hop on that kit just to do a big ass roll on the toms
same
5 days later he finished his roll!
setting up the contraption probably took a week and hired a subcontractor
Hawaii Five-0, ever heard of that show? well there's a drum fill in it that goes...
Tommy Berion N no. our
Terry !!!
There's no fake in this, craftsmenship only. Thanks for publishing this!
Have admired him for decades
The dude is definitely amazing. However for me at this exact moment being extremely sleepy, the trippy smooth funky earlier sound was the balls. I could honestly get lost in it and relax til it takes me to dreamland. Soooo good!
Terry's amazing, when I saw him at GC he had a massive kit "Of Course" but amazingly had like 3 seperate beats going on all while keeping it going.... He's absolutely AMAZING!!!
Excellent performance by a master percussionist! Man would I love to have that kit!
Same. Straight on eBay!
It is said that if you die and go to hell, the punishment is becoming Bozzio's drum tech
dude hes gotta have at least 7 of em holy shit.
🤣🤣🤣😂😂
Now that is good haha
That, or becoming Geddy Lee's bass man.
Or one of his toms
Me walking into the drum store.
"Hi, I'd like to buy some drums please."
"Sorry, we don't have any drums."
"What? How could you not have any drums? What happened?"
"Terry Bozzio happened."
However, we do have plenty of regular cymbals. He didn't buy a single one of those. smh
😂😆😂😆😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
"Hey man we have a kit in the practice space already"
"Mind if I bring my own?"
I was about to leave a negative comment but woah! Reading the other peoples opinion the hate has gone too far! Just because he has a massive kit does not mean he has to go all out with speed and loudness just to "prove" that he is worthy of this kit/setup. There were some nice subtleties in there and I enjoyed the performance.
speak your mind, don't be a sheep, you weren't that impressed right, I would have preferred another drummer and a normal drum kit also, I think Terry was ordinary here, and a little annoying with some of those standard rock fills.
Dean Wuksta I agree completely, I thought other drummers at the drum off, like Derren King, for example, sounded much better.
@@xmgaming2444 Derren who?
@@DeanWuksta It's always sad to hear yet another mediocre drummer trying to slag a legend.
@@markuschelios6891 I've grown to appreciate this much more in the 7 years since I left this comment. Also I think it's spelled Darren. Idk man I was in middle school
This is a very organized and proper piece of epic chaos! Awesome!
“Maybe he’s compensating for something” - Shrek
Python Kick, that is the same thing I was thinking. Great minds think alike...
small drumsticks
uh, and you watch kiddie cartoon movies, lol.
You kinda have to be familiar with Terry's drumming history to understand why he plays such a large kit and where his drumming style comes from. Back in the day, when playing with Zappa, this guy was an absolute MANIAC on the drumkit, playing weird offbeat accents and having an overall fast, energetic and experimental playing style. Up untill this very day, drummers are still influenced by it and he can be easily noted as one of music history's most influental drummers, allthough his legacy is a bit undermined by the fact that he has always played experimental stuff, not having a big mainstream succes story such as Bonham's, Peart or Bruford. At present time he is known for 'Melodic drumming', in which he not only uses misleadingly tough ostinato's but also uses drums that are tuned along a melodic scale. He tours the world giving performances on just his drum kit, joining a beat and melody seemlessly. This performance is cool, but does not really do him justice.
This is as brief as I can get on Bozzio. If you wanna get into this, I suggest you start by watching Zappa's 'Baby Snakes' concert. Cheers to you all, and happy drumming
Monsterslag / where is holdsworth, he should be here. . agree baby snakes is still his best solo. . much younger then. . no ride cymbals at all. . had that same shitty sound with uk too.
Monsterslag I'd rather watch the documentary. There's no reason your comment should be that long. That's a whole dictionary. No disrespect tho.
Thanks!!! baby snakes blew my mind
Monsterslag Good précis but I am still not a fan of the kit though I am of the drummer
Music Store: Hello sir! How can I help you?
Terry Bozio: I want the drum section
Music Store: Oh, you want to see the drum section?
Terry: Pay attention to what I said

PERFECT BLUES DRUM SET

All the negative comments are unesessary,if you play drums and percussion surely you can appreciate the quality here,if not just jog on.
Very good guitar playing..
Anyone mapping this drum set on Google Earth?
All these drums and still not a cowbell in sight
Jack Lawson Ikr! Seriously nobody has the fucking fever? I didn't see any blocks either.
We need more cowbell
It's Job security..."one for Will Ferrell" of S&L
We need more cymbals that sound like tin pie pans
There's a cow with a cowbell in there somewhere.
Cant blast for sure
I like his style, it is weird, unique and cool
legend says his car and house is also made by drums and cymbal
*His couch rips"
" Dammit now I need new heads"
Argy Rizky most homeowners have a car garage, Terry Bozzio has a drumkit garage
You'd think he would have atleast 1 regular cymbal. Or something that sounds like one..
Does he even have a hi hat it's hard to tell?
A couple hundred most likely😂
But in the video he only really uses 1 actual hi hat that is made of cymbals
@@andrewmurphy5310 yes it's one of those cable hi hats, yo ucan see it moving at the top right of the kit around 1:38
Every night, his drums breed . And in the morning.!
It's OK to walk into a drum shop and buy nothing once in a while.
GC's sucks these days, I feel like I'm going into a Ghetto shop where they hire idots that are clueless, they don't have anything.. I spent THOUSANDS at GC's but these days... I buy on line... No Idiots and no one will tell me "We have to order it"..... No, I have to orde4r it...
Totally agree... I have had so many bad experiences with GC. Back in the 90’s it was THE place to go, but now they are just a bunch of know-nothin doofuses who just needed a job
I wanted a professional opinion on this, so i went to drum center and asked the guys over there. They said it's NOT okay.
SuperSlartibartfast tapok cocotmu
WRONG
Not a goddam cowbell in sight.
I thought I was the only one who noticed
It might still be in there...somewhere
He has one. Just hard to see in that mess of trash
The real question is how often does he just start playing that xylophone...
Now I have to take down my comment. lol
Drum shop assistant:
-What are you looking for?
Terry Bozzio:
- Yes
Monster drummer, & the jam session is just as incredible.
a monumental performance.
He does so little with so much when others do so much more with so little
Dumbest comment of the year.
That's what I'm thinking!
Now this is drummer not all these other Guys in the drum off who can’t make music with the drums if their lives depended on it.
@@pbaker7160 he does have a point, I meant the left side toms I'm not sure he hit at all. Nor that 3rd kick drum.
@@jackwilczynski6957 - Well, that could be due to the fact that you watched one song of the performance from that night. I'm sure they didn't set up his massive drum kit and call in other outstanding musicians to play one song (hence "part 1" in the title). No one seems to have any common sense these days...
I'm here wondering how he brings his drumset with him while travelling
@Party Van! I guess dis mans shits money
@@Meepymerfy - He's played with Frank Zappa, Jeff Beck, Missing Persons, UK, and many others. So to your comment . . . yes.
That’s why the bassist says “ hey terry. Sucks to suck.”
Aircraft carrier
I'm wondering how long the setup takes???
I notice a lot of comments about the Monster kit, some like it, some don't, some say it's too much there to use, what ever.
But still any way you look at it, This is one Mega impressive performance. Just one heck of a lot going on. And when you listen to all the different sounds/tones he comes up with it is very musical stuff, and to get them he moves all over the kit in a way that is very unique. When you watch the "moves" he seems to create the illusion of elevating off of the throne or something, climbing all over the kit. I don't think he does, but he sure moves around. Same thing with the Zappa "Baby Snakes" solo years earlier. Impressive, different. He's got his own sound/style. (understatement)
It's awesome how melodically he can use all those toms. Props
That's his whole appeal
@@bradlyscotunes9156 What, that he's a musician? Duh
GO SEE TERRY LIVE AND YOU CAN TRULY LOVE WHAT HE CAN DO WITH A DRUM SET . PEACE TO ALL DRUMMERS
I saw Bozzio play in 2014 drums they started setting up in 2012.
Quality not quantity.
So, you'd prefer that jazz fusion drumming sound like AC/DC or Nirvana? You seem kind of simple and stupid.
Terry has both in spades.
Hard to say that there isn't quality here too, though.
Why don't you post some of your "quality" for all of us to critique? I'll wager $100 to anyone that you are likely a very average drummer who couldn't touch Bozzio's level of playing.
Yes
I never cared for Terry’s random chaotic playing but dudes got the chops and he’s very compositional. That’s what makes him a beast. His kit is the very reason DW drums cost a small fortune. They’ve got to make up the money somehow because DW has literally given them all to Terry lol !!!!
Bozzios playing is not what I would describe as random or chaotic. This video doesn’t do him great justice. He’s one of the most calculated & precise drummers that ever lived.
@@reinodjanghardt8604 That’s what’s great about having opinions. Everybody has one.
Notice the high hat is on a cable drive, and the rhythm is driven on the drums
This guy accidentally pushed an extra zero when he ordered his toms
These guys should try all playing the same song together.
You just don't get the jazz fusion
It’s more avant-garde than anything
There was music in there?
The drummer's four limbs should play the same song to begin with. :P
Just kidding, this is awesome.
@backtothefuture1066 the amount of people who dont understand sarcasm is like, totally zero.
I cant imagine this guy going on tour
Absolutely incredible performance WOW is all can say .
Which season of hoarders is this?
OMFG
lmao!!! drum hoarding??? never thought of that!!
There's 3 dead kittens in his 3rd bass drum
What Neil Pert calls a "beginner set"
Lol! XD
yea but neil can play
Not saying Neil isn't a good drummer because he is...but the fact is...he is only a rock drummer...at best...Bozzio on the other hand has been all over the place and played many differant styles of music over the years...he has far more devoloped skill sets...I will say this too you cannot be a one dimensional rock drummer and be with the like of Zappa...still not to take anything from Peart...
+Joel White
Agreed. Zappa demanded a fairly wide range of capabilities from his musicians, and while a huge chunk of Zappas work is much the same, anyone who is a huge fan of his will also know that his entire range was vast, and you simply dont get to play with Zappa for as long as Bozzio did without being, not just good, but really fucking good at your work.
And Bozzio was left out by Colaiuta presence at Zappa's band
But, dose he have a cowbell?
Please help me subscribe to my new channel, I will help you subscribe to your channel100%
Beatie G yeah, he melted a bunch down to make those cymbals
That’s called living your best life. Bless ‘em.
Great performance but I think he could have went with a bigger drum set.
His drumset actually creates purified water derived from hydrogen fuel cells which consequently provides electricity to poor children in South America.
Mike Patton your not really mike patton.. wtf...
B. C. you're not really B.C.. Wtf...
Lol
LOL true????
That is hilarious!
Seriously, this is just one video. If you want to judge Terry Bozzio, listen to the Zappa albums, or to Bozzio Levin Stevens, Polytown or Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop. Hell, even his drumming on that Korn album is pretty bad-ass.
It's like judging Jimmy Page from that crappy "It Might Get Loud" documentary. Both of these musicians made history. A few less-than-stellar moments now and then doesn't change that.
exactly
I'm really saddened by the comments for this video. I've followed Terry Bozzio for awhile and all these asshats who don't know a fucking thing about him say "oh well he didn't play ...."
Go fuck yourself. He's been replacing your favorite drummers longer than you've been alive.
It seems like this kit is more about convenience for him anyway
Nobody criticizes other musicians for not using every note available on their instruments, why do people criticize him for not using every piece in the kit for a particular song?
ThomasT I won't get into the argument of whether the guy is good or not, but as for your analogy:
It's not the same as, let's say, a piano, or a guitar. Those instruments have their design set, for the most part. Whether you can or choose to play different notes or not is one thing.
A drum kit is built, piece by piece. Pieces meant to be used.This guy kept adding stuff, and if he added stuff, it's because he meant to use them, but ultimately didn't.
If he wasn't going to use all the pieces, then why build the entire kit? It seems it's mostly for show, of course, but it's just silly, in my opinion.
We had the great experience of seeing Terry play Live when He was with U.K. 🤩🤩🤩
this is actually good music. Terry is playing along, the music doesn't center around extreme playing. but an atmosphere. very pleasant.
Extreme music isn't good?
I think he means extreme and technical music isn't everything. Creativity and deviance must be mixed in with it for an effective and sense tingling sound. And that music be combined as a whole with artistic spirit.
he means the purpose is to play music rather than work out at the limits of his ability. laying down a groove, not a world record attempt
to be brief, you can have technical compositions, but that does not mean the music is any good. you can have great music does not imply technical displays of ability. Marco Minneman, and PlanetX, I actually can not and have not sat through an entire record. Cobham's specturm is very well composed and very very enjoyable. Frank Zappa's music (live with Bozzio) is mind blowing. Zappa's orchestral compositions are incredible. Band's like Rush have maintained a great balance of composition and sound engineering. Bozzio here is playing great music. *Their* sound is just very pleasant.
have you listened to the mars volta?
Whats the point of having all that on there if you do not use most of it
Yeah but realistically you would never need that many of fucking everything for anything man xD
It makes you look manly, rich and powerful (if you're easily impressed)
Im sure he has a perfect answer for that question.
He has stated that he needs them to fill the chromatic and diatonic scales, that he cannot do proper fills with two toms. So to answer the question, he uses the toms like a guitarist uses frets and strings; just because the drums take up more space than a fret board, doesn't mean they are any less necessary for proper musicality.
Lets make a diatonic guitar that only plays C major, who would ever need notes like F# C# G# etc. All those notes are just for show, totaly useless!
dang i would love to see a seven nation army cover on this kit!
Seven nation army is a simple song on drums but it would be way more interesting watching a seven nation cover on this kit
Shaggy Rodgers I know, I was just saying it would be better than this.
@@shaggyrodgers4213 your fine
7 would be more complicated than whatever he just played
When you can't decide what drums to bring so just grab ALL of them! Very cool!
Just the beginners kit then, I'd like to see how he gets along with a full size kit.
You'd better say *Standard* Kit.. But, honestly *Terry Bozzio* is such a great drummer.
I didn't believe the thumbnail but when I saw the video I realized........... why does he have 4 bass drums
He's secretly a centaur.
Jared Guerrero : amazing
great snake's
in world
Jared Guerrero so he could set up more drums
Because he likes to party.
1 of the best drummer ever
What am I listening to? And why do I love it? Is this... fussion?
yes I know many of you criticize the size of bozzio's set However, if say for example the drums were tuned such that they could be arranged like a keyboard, then it would allow him to not only play fills, but play them in the key of song or decide on a key for a drum solo.
If this were true, what appears as an excessive amount of drums now becomes drumming on a different level, moving into the percussionist realm where drumming on a kit moves into the mallet percussion neighborhood in your ability to play in an explicit tonality.
Robert Aldi nicely said!!!!!! Like to buy you a beer sometime!!!
...but he utilized very little of that over compensating mess of a kit
You can wish but he is simply not that good of a drummer, much less that good of a musician. Drums do not need to be in key
You pretty much quoted terry bozzio's explanation for using this ridiculous kit.
Most people commenting don't have a f***ing clue about what he's doing.1st the guy is a harmonic and melodic drummer, hence the amount of drums and cymbals. 2nd he is among the top drummer in the world, rhythmically speaking. Now just because he is not using all of his gear in a single song some ignorants here say that it's useless, or show off or whatever. To me it only says one thing: the guy is able to improvise on the spot while still listening to the other musicians around him and THAT is real musicianship!
99% of what he played was on a 6 piece
2 piece
Al Cervix
Guitarist don't use every fret every time they play a song but I don't see you whining about that
it all on how is uses them you don't need to hit every drum piece to sound good you just need a good sense of pulse, and rudiments.
This guy plays a 20+ piece set and everyone loses their mind but when John moffet played a five bass drum set up no one ever said anything about the absurdity of that
I disagree. Keyboardist and guitarist have 1000 of sounds in their instruments, so what is the deal?
We unpacked and set up this entire drumset for that??
Pssst, your snare lever is open
This guy cracks me up . He acts like everything he does is so profound
thats exactly what i was thinking!! the way he plays seems so pretentious its offputting... prog musicians i guess
Was just going to say the same. When he was due to join korn wanted a cut of entire back catalogue and not just new stuff going forward. Bet he wished he joined now!!
Agreed 100%
It’s embarrassing to watch honestly
@Berna There's no music here. He, like Steve Vai, are on a different level. They struggle to make music anyone really wants to hear. That's why no one really knows who he is. And for some reason, Drum Workshops kisses his ass.
I could do more with a 5 piece kit!!!

I liked the part where he completely neglected half the kit.
Do you actually think that kit was set up for a 7 minute performance? Smh.
@@bellofortis2020 that’s exactly what he did tho
@@MinuteMayne A drummer doesn't figure out which drums he's going to use and rearrange the kit for each gig. SMH
