Andy’s beating those drums like they owe him money. 💯
😆
I'm a drummer and I found this very interesting. You're gradually becoming one of my favorite music and now even historical and also philosophical channels. Thanks Andy and keep on recording and your idea about what well known drummers came up with during the years, would make a great series with your drumming expertise. I also liked your take on AI, again, interesting stuff/thoughts.
This one has it all! great history and music lessons, and the spontaneous solo blows you away!
As a non-drummer, I have to say this is long overdue. Really looking forward to it.
More of this please Andy. Love the history of it all. I’m not a musician but I do appreciate music and especially drummers. 🥁
Really enjoyed that solo. Thankyou great video
The demonstration of the swing feel within the basic rock beat at 22:10 is eye opening.
Really interesting Andy. Just a small point that another commenter mentioned, in future if you do this kind of demo content, if you could change the audio recording method that would help avoid the dip in your voice level when we come back to you.
Andy "Awesome" Edwards - Walkin' the Walk. Yes Sir. Andy, great vid and playing, very creative. Hey great idea to breakdown the playing styles of popular drummers. All the drummers you mentioned would be great subjects for your analysis. You da Man Andy!! I envy your students. It would be great having you as a professor. I imagine sending the drummers out onto the battlefield and dueling out some solos? drop the rifles and Kick out the jams. Everybody goes home groovin' instead of dead.
So glad you've moved back from the camera for your videos Andy. Not that you don't look good, but your face filled my rather large TV to such an extent that I had to 'watch' them in audio only. Haven't watched this video yet, but as a guitar player I know little about drums and their history. Just got in and looking forward to watching it with a nice cup of tea..
33 years of drumming and I learned a lot from this video! The journey of discovery never ends when it comes to drumming… Thank you!
Lovely solo Andy !
I have a question.
Have you ever heard of a Chanel called “Taustanauhat -- Frogbot beats” ?
He makes drum backing tracks. I think he uses a computer software program but he gets pretty good results for machine drumming . I used one for a tune of mine.
I sent a Thank You in his comments and saw he had over 3 million views. .???
He also replied with gratitude I could use his track.
Not sure if it could be a financially viable side hustle for you but for someone like me. To have a real crispy Andy Edwards track to lay a tune on would be amazing..
maybe also amazing to 3 million other musicians? Just a thought.
Love all you do !
Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷🥁🔥💯💜
Also, this isn't just the history of drumming. This is the history of "feel".
That was absolutely awesome
Thank you for this @Andy Edwards, Educational, Inspirational, Stimulating, and Entertaining!! Super Fantastica!!
Hearing some TW and BC in your solo. Good stuff.
This is such a great video, it's like reading a great music history book and all the music is coming to life as you're reading
It don't mean a thing if it aint got that swing. I loved the solo at the end, Andy. I look at my own kit in shame. Rock on.
Terrific video. Like you said, lots of info here! It brought me back to my old high school music classes, though I daresay this was more informative than any of them. Magnificent drum solo, too.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love your drumming Andy. Also, those cymbals sound great. I’m a guitarist but I find myself always trying to listen to the hi-hat. Yours have a sound I find very appealing. On VotEB Narada had a great hi-hat setup.
Superb stuff Andrew, spot on solo!
You're too modest -- this is very educational and enlightening for drummers as well!
And a really great drummer too!
Very educational. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
You must get up early. 5:00?
Very informative.
Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant. Stewart Copeland dedicated a whole video about the bass pedal. We're always learning. Wonderful "conversational" vid. Though you mentioned Steve Gadd, and that makes me angry. Because you dissed Aja, which includes the best recorded drum solo ever. LOL
Good job, sir. Bravo.
This was awesome - thanks, Andy!
Fantastic video! I have a new appreciation for the drums! More like this one, please!
What a great time watching this
Well done man 🙌
your solo reminds me a bit of a Bruford solo, like the one he performed on the first ABWH tour which he performed as a duet with Tony Levin. Very very nice
As a non musician I really enjoyed that and I learnt a thing or two.
Great solo !!
Superb!
Very interesting. Always wanted to play trap kit, but I became a percussionist in Latin/Cuban/jazz (conga, timbal, bongo, etc.). Loved the history lesson. 🙏👍
you'd need a lavalier microphone for this kind of thing. Without adjusting the level, you might keep it on automatic, but just have to wait a sec between drumming and talking.
I could listen to you for hours. No matter the subject. ❤
Cool I know how to play the drums now. Thanks Andy!
I sometimes slap my thighs in time with music, and I come up with complex, irregular rhythms that I think sound pretty cool, I think I coulda been a good drummer in another life.
Great Show Andy. ONYA!
now its a lot like Neil's Der Trommler where he's doing a lot of limb independence stuff
I AM A DRUMMER & I CANT WAIT
I don't think my last comment came out I ran out of time but I want to say that you gave me hope that it isn't the size of your kit that counts it's the way you use it thanks again for a great lesson and I'm going to start working on my rhythm
It's ultimately about the girth or so I've heard
@@roystonsbailey It's about "four-limb-independence."
I can see a lot of Benny Greb in your playing in your drum solo at the end of the video - very nice!
Good stuff
This is a very good video.
Very interesting.
Good solo, Andy. I don't often say that, even to great drummers I admire, but I liked the creativity.
I appreciate that!
Really nice video. I really love playing around with rhythm and I love drums but I'm not a drummer. Really interesting history
Also wonderful drum solo during the outro
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful little video!
magnifique video , merci ♥
Excellent! "Trap Set" mystery solved! (It is a badge of honor to be "of a certain age" where you remember people speaking of playing the Traps). Another bit of trivia I recently stumbled upon is the question of the etymology of Paradiddle. Is it from the Greek παραδίδωμι (to give into the hands of another)? And what about the palms up grip? Non-drummers want to know!
Excellent! More drumming please, maybe some short lessons.
drummers goalkeepers and wicket keepers, unique individuals.. solo magnifiquè
Interesting! Cool solo
Andy please talk about the drums in apocalypse 9/8. I've been trying to figure it out and it's driving me crazy.
Papa Jo Jones :The Drums. A seminal recording i'm sure you are familiar with. A cornerstone record of my collection .
32:17 chit got sic.
32:17 playing a gravity blast in that context is fucking crazy lol, do you have any recommendation of drummers who play like the solo you did? I absolutely loved it but I come more from the newer stuff so dont rly know all the old prog legends
Great technique
Pretty good video.
Very lovely tutorial for us guitar geeks. I have a notion that the guitar--especially acoustic guitar is really a kind of percussion instrument (and piano, too, maybe more so with the hammers inside striking the strings). Is that crazy?
Very interesting Andy. It's a shame the sound was clipping at times.
As I had taken up some drumming with snare drum and quite good couldn't afford a kit got into singing writing and guitar and some keyboards to own creations. Will have to watch a replay if not live. Busy days been having. History of has to include the cave men and Maori tribes of the southwest of the world. Before incorporating a way into music.
Andy i never heard you referring to Carter Beauford, do u like him as a drummer?.
Would be interested to hear your opinion of El Estepario Siberiano !
From a non-drummer (nor a musician): Cool! Thanks for a very interesting and educational video!
BABY DOTS. WAS A EARLY JAZZ
DRUMMER.
It’s very interesting to think about those early jazz rhythms. You gave a meaningful demonstration of these things, I appreciate that.
I can't see how this is primarily for non-drummers. This is absolutely brilliant and I've never heard another drummer talk about this. I bet this would be a major revelation to seasoned drummers as well. Absolutely brilliant.
Messing with my drums….
I see a great line of Andy E merch coming!
“Drummers, messing with rhythm since time began”
Drumming must be hypnotic when you really get in to it!
As a non-drummer I found this absolutely fascinating. I now have a new appreciation for drums.
More please, more please! That was great and incredibly informative. I believe I just heard a jazz drum solo make sense to me for the very first time. 😮 WOW!! 🤯
Well done Andy. Please teach us more. ❤
That was just killer!
Guitar player here and I had never heard most of this history of drums.
Great episode Andy!
Same here, thanks Andy.
Me neither..like WOW! I learned so much in such a short time!
The better the drummer ,the better the band.
As long as he doesn’t explode. It’s a very common occurrence you know. For reference see Spinal Tap
@@johannOpleaseword, self combustion is a serious issue for drummers
Careful fellas
@@Kurdt1 don’t forget that one time when one of the many poor drummers succumbed to a weird gardening accident
@@johannOplease I say best leave it unsolved
Choked on vomit. You really can’t dust for vomit.
Very informative - more of this please.
It’s nice to see you back on the kit.
Nice info - but the camera "auto-level" function has such a slow release time we can't hear the dialogue after you play any demonstration. This is embarrassing and difficult to follow. Did you not listen to your video?
Always loved drums and drummers even though I'm a non player.
Okay when prompt I can pla 3/4 on a kit.
Brilliant. But curse you automatic volume control!
you can do this,all this without a script? fantastic.
I'm a drummer (well, used to be) and this video is great.
It’s always thrilling to see a master at work. But, I’d also like to hear all of your commentary. Please have a vocals mike as well. Cheers Andy!
Well done. As a lifetime drummer and longtime teacher of drums, this is much appreciated. I did learn some things! Thanks. Excellent work.
Fantastic! I’m a newer drummer and this is some great information. And your playing is top notch! ❤
As a bassist, I thank you for this. A bit more understanding of the lunatic I'm trying to tie my playing to. 😅
I feel you. I am a life-long drummer who learned to bass just so I could get into the bass players head set. It really does open things up and make communicating musically and verbally a lot easier.
Nice solo and really interesting intro to drumming, thanks.
As a life-long drummer, I found this a great watch and learned a few pieces of history I didn’t know! Also, great playing!!
As an aside- I recommend checking out the Billy Martin book “Claves of African Origin” where he details many of African rhythms and how they evolved through slavery in the Americas (and influence pretty much all modern music!)
I'll recommend "Rhythmic Principles and Practice of South Indian Drumming," by Trichy Sankaran. It made it much easier for me to feel comfortable improvising in odd time signatures.
Why oh why did you not use a separate microphone for your voice so we could hear you better?
Fascinating, Andy - ta very muchly.
Great solo, too... ☝️😎
Excellent......Nice feel Andy, especially the bebop!! Wish I had had a drummer like you, back in the day!!! Non muso's might also be interested in how the bass fit's into the picture to create grooves etc.....
Nice one!!
Thank you, Andy! Very educational. Very entertaining.
Thanks, Andy. Another interesting video. I wonder if you’d be interested in doing a video on drummer songwriters, and drums in songwriting. Great songs written by drummers.
Non-drummer here: great video, amazing solo (made me put a comment down). I enjoy your videos, but this was something else!
Thanks, black man! We'd all be spending five hours digging witchetty grubs out of some shitty hole, with a stick, if it wasn't for your genius and innovation! Truly humbled! Blacks Rock!
Andy, this is brilliant. But as a non-drummer - you need clip-on remote mic, or get yer Levon Helm on with an overhead mic. Your voice level was way up and down. 😉
@scottbookman, you’re only as good as your drummer 😎
Fact.
Fascinating video. And you got some chops on you mate!
Thank you kindly!
Thanks Andy. More of this!!
Best video I’ve watched this week!
ive been drumming for 45 years. i found this very entertaining and informative. great job. look foward to more videos.
Thanks Andy, really enjoyed that.
