Danny Gottlieb is such a marvellously astute and worthy "keeper of the flame." He's also quite a well-spoken and accomplished educator. The Stone/Morello approach is in good hands.
I went to a percussion camp in Chicago when I was in high school and Joe, Roy Haynes and Gary Burton were teaching. Joe had a great sense of humor and the interaction between Joe and Roy was like a comedy routine when Joe had his larger size drums and Roy pulled out his small size drums. The two of them together on stage was fantastic, also as a comedy team.
If you guys haven't checked out Danny's 'Elements' albums with Mark Egan (Metheny Group bassist) check out that stuff. The music is a little 'Fuzak' but the playing is beautiful and they carried on the Pat Metheny Group concept in their own way.
Nice Piece Danny. I was also fortunate to have studied with Joe for a few years. Bill Tesar. I have great memories of hanging with Joe after my lessons at a local bar where he would recount dozens of amazing stories about his life on the road and all the great musicians he had the opportunity to meet. I also have a a nice 20" ride cymbal he gave me. Its still one of my favorites.
I went with Joe to that same bar after my lessons - Chinese restaurant/bar? Man, I wish I'd taped some of those conversations...the stories were epic and he loved telling them. That's a great memory and I still miss the great old man.
Richard Wilson, via Murray Spivak, taught that same technique. He used to say; "Half the effort, twice the speed." I learned more about how to play, with Richard, in 2 yrs. than I'd learned in the previous 24 yrs. of playing. It's a great method. If you're a drummer, find a teacher who teaches it.
I started with the Moeller Technique and learned my rudiments that way. Mostly on the rubber pad. Transferred well to drums. Later I did the thumbs up using fingers like Cobham or Bonham. On gigs. Or on the pad. Then I got some trigger finger in 2005. Gradually it went away because I went back to more Moeller. Now I'm 54. And as I'm playing I can feel less tension playing palms down. Not thumbs up. Palms all the way down to make the tension disappear. If your going to play into your 80's Moeller is a necessity. At least with me.
Thank you for this video..switching to the Gladstone technique changed everything for me..like overnight ..in fact I would have quit had I not found it
Danny , did you happen to live in Bowie , MD at some point? I was.a drummer over at the Bowie high and I could watch you practice in a room in your house. Just curious. because there was a Danny Gottltibe that played in Bowie MD.
Danny thanks for the great tribute to the Legend Joe Morello. Didn't you play with john McLaughlin? I was wondering who played in the band also? Is there recording of this?

Danny it’s too humble to mention it, but Joe always considered Danny his star pupil
He referrered to him as his "adopted son"

Joe Morello is a legend! Thanks for the interesting interview!
Danny carries the torch for the Morello/Stone legacy but man-oh-man he's a GREAT player too.
I will always love "American Garage" from Pat Metheny. Danny did stellar work on that!
Rick off ramp is one of my fav records
@@mosilflutil10
Off Ramp is great too....
Early Pat Metheny with the late Lyle's Oberheim made me a lifelong Metheny fan.

Joe Morello: Master.

Thanks to Danny, I met Joe and studied with him. Danny is one of sweetest people I met in my life.
ok, ok...
Thanks Danny. Always have been a fan.
Danny! Great to see you! We met at a clinic many years ago at Creative Music in Wethersfield, CT.
excellent explanation of Joe Morello's system of holding the sticks

Was at U Miami early 70's. Danny's reputation: each limb followed different big band section naturally, by ear, w/o charts.

Nice, only time my thumb comes up is on the ride cymbal. Otherwise I’m German timpani all the way around. American grip on ride.
Thanks for sharing!
