The king of the splash symbols. I’ve never heard a drummer work them in so beautifully. His drumming is quick and choppy, and he has a way of adding pauses at just the right moments. Love him!
@1Boodyman1 A great drummer can make a phone book sound good! Manu is a master of the percussive art, and does not need to rely on many cymbals to create a sound that is perfect for the music. An excellent piece of work represented here! Kudos for posting this gem! Jan Garbarek is awesome!
Very delicate sound and hands. An interestingly new dynamic for me. Started off thinking the solo was a bit dull but took off half way through and I loved its light-touch sensitivity of by the end. Thanks!
One of the keys to Manu's style is his use of internal dynamics in his grooves. He doesn't bash out every stroke, he lets his stuff breathe. He's one of the greatest drummers alive.
I just love Manu's phrasing and he has a beautiful feel!! Manu proves speed is not everything in a drum solo, it's how you use it tastefully. Your spot on! This would have to be one of the best quality video's I too have seen on youtube!!
I remember first hearing him in the late 80s and just loved his feel. I've seen many concerts over the years that he has played.... usually not to see the main artist, but just to see/hear Manu. Definitely my favourite drummer.
Every part of this huge and elaborate percussion set playing a part in a complex nuanced drum orchestra which itself follows the beat of a living heart.
I don't have a favourite drummer but I do have a few that I love for different reasons. The list includes untouchables like Bruford, Gadd, Peart, Weckl but also other great artists like Gavin Harrison, Mark Zonder, Mike Portnoy, Nick D'Virgilio and of course, Manu Katche. I fell in love with his drumming after I listened to the Twelve Moons album by Jan Garbarek. Not the most technical, nor the most innovative but I find his feel and groove absolutely delicious. A magnificent drummer!
I fell in love with his style after listening to Sting's The Soul Cages. What a beautiful album, and Manu Katche's drumming is so clean and groovy. Definitely my favorite album of all time
@@nighttime-mime All of Sting's drummers have immensely influenced me, and my playing style, beginning with Omar Hakim, Kenwood Dennard, Manu Katche, and then Vinnie Colaiuta. Love them all, but Omar and Manu have had the biggest impact.
Manu is one of my all time favorite drummers.....he can be so subtle and then rock as hard as Bonham or Baker and for me one of his finest works was his pwerhouse perfomance for Gabriels Secret Tour concerts. There exist drummers and then there exists Manu Katche
his work on the soul cages album is impeccable, as well as his work with Gabriel in the 80's, the live 85 version of in your eyes still gives me chills, great drummer
No guys the name of the song is Molde Canticle pt. 4 from the I Took Up the Runes album. It's a great tune and an even better album. It's been out for years. One of my fav's
He is the only drummer who plays off the drums and cymbals and not through them the tone is obviously in the drums heads and tuning but above all else it's his technique the tone is in his hands!
Anyone remember seeing clips here of Manu playing with Ryuichi Sakamoto? The clips were removed, and I don't know who had them posted, or if any other Manu fans had perhaps downloaded them? I'd buy the DVD if I could find it, but I can't. There was one song called Asadoya Yunta that had particularly tasteful drumming by Manu. Simple, but elegantly played, with impeccable feel, and an innate knowledge of when to pull the groove back and when to push to its front. HIM, in a nutshell. Beautiful!
@TheSonofSniglet Yup. There's also the American grip which is in-between French and German. You also can use all three while playing - just rotating your position. Anyway: Manu Katche really is one of the great drummers!
Technique wankers will hate this solo but Manu's got more feel to his playing here than most professional drummers would achieve over an entire career.
Let them bitch about technique and tell them try that eighth note open high hat with the left foot. Not closing eighth notes open so it has to be precise and then ask them, " So who have you played with and how many endorsements do you have and why have I not heard of you?"
MANU IS SOOOO F*KN COMPORTABLE...makes me sick....God I love this dude. Triplets for days...the shit he does with that single kick should be required learning @ ALL workshops, lessons, etc, etc...THX for the post, man...
The phrase starting at 2:40... signature Manu. Sums up his style, in a small way. No one else would have played that. And that groove that starts at 3:10... highlight of the solo, in my opinion. Wow! The only part I don't like (as a drummer) are those intensifying power triplets. They're a little cliche'... but then again, they do get the audience going. I guess at the end of the day we must remember that it's them we're playing for, not ourselves, and not other drummers. Go Manu!!!!!
@r4q23 yamaha recording custom, manu katche signature snare (i think its a brass snare)..... tried his snar its truely amazing ! And Zildjia cymbals, avedis/a custom 6" splashes etc. ;-)
If he uses French (or Timpani) Grip, then his playing at the back of the stick is to gain more power. French grip utilises more fine finger control than Germaninc Grip and is really cool for single stroke rolls, light dynamics and other 'quick' rudiments etc.. Germanic Grip predominantly uses the wrist to gain more power whilst sacrificing some of the dynamics found in Timpani Grip....
The most musical drummer of the world. Tone, swing, style, subtlety, spiritual, musicality, creativity, innovation, personality and taste.
Brilliantly put
Hey Justin beibers drummer can top this guy anyday
its the first time I watched a drum solo without feeling bored..long live manu katche!!
The king of the splash symbols. I’ve never heard a drummer work them in so beautifully. His drumming is quick and choppy, and he has a way of adding pauses at just the right moments. Love him!
One of the best drum sounds I've heard, beautiful solo, manu is an artist
You think?Lack of creativity.Just a bunch of notes and accents.All of his solos sound the same.Boring.
Scott Pellegrom.Listen to this artist.
best drummer in the world. seriously.
Manu.... is DA MAN.....you can't mess wit this guy....a beast...
Manu ❤❤❤❤❤you are really angel 👍👏👏👏👏👏👍💋❤️💋❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That's one of the best drum solos I have heard so far!
I never get tired of watching this solo 👌
Just came into my head after not seeing it for like 6 years, even remembered the name of the video :D
@1Boodyman1 A great drummer can make a phone book sound good! Manu is a master of the percussive art, and does not need to rely on many cymbals to create a sound that is perfect for the music. An excellent piece of work represented here! Kudos for posting this gem! Jan Garbarek is awesome!
Man, that has to be the best drum solo I've ever seen and heard.
wow this is probably one of the better quality videos I have ever seen on UA-cam. Nice. Manu is the man.
Very delicate sound and hands. An interestingly new dynamic for me. Started off thinking the solo was a bit dull but took off half way through and I loved its light-touch sensitivity of by the end. Thanks!
Wow, great solo, so musical! Can't believe how far back he's holding his sticks...!
I love it when people do unconventional stuff nad he is the master of this genre - with accuracy in perfection.
FANTASTIC!!!! i love the sound of his toms and splash symbals!!
My 5 cents worth , This guy is one of the most tasteful and technically proficient drummers EVER !
One of the keys to Manu's style is his use of internal dynamics in his grooves. He doesn't bash out every stroke, he lets his stuff breathe. He's one of the greatest drummers alive.
Now theres a guy that LOVES what he does, great solo, nothing added or wasted.
I just love Manu's phrasing and he has a beautiful feel!! Manu proves speed is not everything in a drum solo, it's how you use it tastefully. Your spot on! This would have to be one of the best quality video's I too have seen on youtube!!
He has incredible feel also
He's as much fun to watch as he is to listen to! A tremendous musician.
I remember first hearing him in the late 80s and just loved his feel. I've seen many concerts over the years that he has played.... usually not to see the main artist, but just to see/hear Manu. Definitely my favourite drummer.
Im normally not a Jazz fan, more Metal. But this Solo blowed my mind.
what a treat to listen to this guy play. GREAT ART!
rien et simple vraiment du grand hart BRAVO!!!!!!!! MONSIEUR Manu
Whouuuu , quelle emotion a chaque fois, et sur scene, Magique!!!!
Great band.
J'adore autant Manu Katche que les autres musiciens ! E. Weber ! j'adore ses albums !
world's best drummer in my opinion :)
Every part of this huge and elaborate percussion set playing a part in a complex nuanced drum orchestra which itself follows the beat of a living heart.
Manu is the most musical drummer today.. I love the way he phrases everything he plays..Does'nt get better than this..DT43
Manu is always in synch with his kit, it is his voice. A drummer's drummer.
I don't have a favourite drummer but I do have a few that I love for different reasons. The list includes untouchables like Bruford, Gadd, Peart, Weckl but also other great artists like Gavin Harrison, Mark Zonder, Mike Portnoy, Nick D'Virgilio and of course, Manu Katche.

And Vinne,.... :-)
Gavin is always a inspiration no matter the ocasiona or If you até from earth or not
I fell in love with his style after listening to Sting's The Soul Cages. What a beautiful album, and Manu Katche's drumming is so clean and groovy. Definitely my favorite album of all time

One of fav now of all time. Watch it over and over
manu - GREAT feel amazing soul and air and touch. perfect
Fantastic solo and fantastic drummer!
Fantastic Group and Song!
Incredible.
Manu sounds like no other. What a legend.
Not the longest I've ever heard, but definately the best
Manu is one of my all time favorite drummers.....he can be so subtle and then rock as hard as Bonham or Baker and for me one of his finest works was his pwerhouse perfomance for Gabriels Secret Tour concerts. There exist drummers and then there exists Manu Katche

That's a sweet sounding kit, love his dynamics, he's very unique.
Absolutely! His Secret World live-interpretation of this song is just..... - incredible!
one of my favorite drummers...
Not since Jon Bonhan have we heard a drummer this good.
He's so damned good.
one of the best drummers...
Beautiful drumming.
Super Manu, the best!
Dynamic drumming at its finest
he was in the jury of French Pop Idol ^^
very good drummer
Thank you so much- I really love it!
the control this drummer has :O just wow
The little Splash cymbals have style. The sound very good!
Discounting that " The Worlds Best Drummer " shite , I like this guys subtle touch and the way he uses his cymbals as an integral part of the kit !
No guys the name of the song is Molde Canticle pt. 4 from the I Took Up the Runes album. It's a great tune and an even better album. It's been out for years. One of my fav's
He has the Drum in the Blood! X AMAZING X
Has to be my favourite drummer
the ending was awsome!
"Showdown at Big Sky" drum track (Robbie Robertson) kills. Great song and amazing drums. That's when I first pooped my pants over Manu's playing.
If you compare this to some metal drummers you have no other choice than to say It´s genious!!
Qué maravilla Manu !!! Musicalidad única !
So good!!! 🙌🫶🙏❤️😎
awesome. just awesome.
Of course! Gadd is the GROOVE MASTER!
Super solo !
Whoa Jan Garbarek sounds different...damn. Havent heard a recording of them from later than mid 80s until now. Killin drums though.
relly this guy is amazing!!!!!!
niesamowite!
I have to thank Peter Gabriel for introducing me to Manu. My life is richer.
yes I totally agree he is nice on the set
He is the only drummer who plays off the drums and cymbals and not through them the tone is obviously in the drums heads and tuning but above all else it's his technique the tone is in his hands!
true melodic drumming
That took me to a different realm of reality that I didn't know existed.
Inspirational
Manu's name is not brought up in "best drummers of all time conversations" enough!! But it seriously should be, he is like no other.
grande manu !!!
brilliant!
What a great drummer, fuck yeah!

Smooooooth!
Monsieur Manu catche!!!!!! Inimitable dans son jeu, l unique!!!!jouer comme ça !!! C est un don!!!!! Longue vie à Manu
Technique wankers will hate this solo but Manu's got more feel to his playing here than most professional drummers would achieve over an entire career.

So who have you played with and how many endorsements do you have and why have I not heard of you?"
Yes well said, drumming is about entertaining after all
Wow, he really grips the butt of his sticks. Never realized before that he's pretty much a pure wrist player
Excellent
Nicely done
(Just saying, Manu Katche was also playing with Peter Gabriel for years. Great drummer.) Thanks for posting!
MANU IS SOOOO F*KN COMPORTABLE...makes me sick....God I love this dude. Triplets for days...the shit he does with that single kick should be required learning @ ALL workshops, lessons, etc, etc...THX for the post, man...
Wow! 🔥
I loved his playing on Joe Sartiani's self titled album.
French grip kills me. The sensitivity you can get with it is fantastic.
The phrase starting at 2:40... signature Manu. Sums up his style, in a small way. No one else would have played that.
And that groove that starts at 3:10... highlight of the solo, in my opinion. Wow!

Go Manu!!!!!
@r4q23 yamaha recording custom, manu katche signature snare (i think its a brass snare)..... tried his snar its truely amazing ! And Zildjia cymbals, avedis/a custom 6" splashes etc. ;-)
He was soooo super tasty. Check out his album "Third Round". Jazzy and tasty old Manu for sure.
the only one... Mr. Manu Katche!!!!

French grip utilises more fine finger control than Germaninc Grip and is really cool for single stroke rolls, light dynamics and other 'quick' rudiments etc..

If you're like me & think Manu is the best drummer around, check out the track "Gautes-Margjit" from Jan Garbarek's CD "Twelve Moons".
