Who are some of your favourite drummers? Let me know below!
Matt Garstka! It blows my mind watching him perform.
Pat Mastelotto, Stuart Elliott, Stewart Copeland, and Tony Thompson.
Thanks so much for sharing! Great talent
Steve Gadd, Jim Keltner, Bill Stewart, Keith Carlock
@@leefchapman thanks for sharing
I'm one of the thousands of people who can call Pat a friend. The man remembers everything! Everyone he's ever played with, every place he's ever played, restaurants, friends, acquaintances--it's astounding. And his genuineness and generosity are also highly noteworthy! Thanks for doing this wonderful interview, Warren.
Wow! Thanks ever so much for sharing!
Absolutely true, Bill. Pat's memory is pretty astounding.
Pat isn't only an amazing drummer, he's also a super lovely guy. I first saw him play with Stick Men and he was incredibly nice! I was a big Mr Mister fan in the 80's. If someone had told me back then that I would meet Pat ever, I wouldn't believe it!
Agreed, wonderful guy indeed!
You're coming out with the real hitters this week! Trey and now Pat!
Thanks, Lee
His drumming on XTC's "Oranges and Lemons" was spot-on.
Agreed 100%, wonderful drumming
Stick Men was my first show working at the Iridium in NYC, I was live streaming and recording the show, told them I was old friends with Trey. I had no idea Pat played on Oranges and Lemons mind blown! Saw him with KC twice. Another fine interview!
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
For a long time, I didn't know Pat, then one day while I was picking out tunes on UA-cam to simply listen and enjoy, I came across the video for Mayor of Simpleton. The video had credits, where Pat was listed as the Beatman (or something like that) and I was intrigued, because it was classic XTC but with this powerful groove relentless throughout, totally pro, you can hear it. Once the name was in my head, I would listen out in case I heard, 'Mastelotto' again. I did, again and again. Then, years later, I went to see Crimson in Cardiff St Davids Hall, in their latter incarnation, with Reiflin, Mastelotto and Harrison, but I wasn't even aware that there were 3 drummers, until I turned up at the gig, and saw the three kits at the front of the stage. It was mindblowing. Hey, I'm sure pro's get more picky about such things, but what I heard was all the classic older tunes, reinvigorated for the 21st century, nothing lacking and nothing over-played. Tight as a gnats chuff, perfect drumming from all three players, in fact all players delivered, and the PA and hall acoustics were superb. Must have been great for Pat to play those tunes he grew up with, it was one of the best gigs ever
Thank you for sharing!
I still hope that XTC will release Pat's audition someday; the band videotaped all the auditions, and Pat had Andy and Colin going, calling out one old XTC song after another. I've heard it was an almost 3-hour jam.
Huge XTC fan! Thanks for the great comment.
@@cletusbeauregard1972 wow! That's amazing! Yes, would be incredible
hate to be the critic.....(and I didn't see the 3-drummer KC so I may be talking out my behind)........but THREE drummers sounds like the LEAST intelligent idea ever. (Add to this how unique their kits were so their airline freight bill must be offensive! Yikes!)
Instead of ONE KILLER KC drummer.......you'd have THREE drummers all holding back and being "polite" and "tentative"......and you'd triple your weekly bills! (No wonder Fripp struggled to make a profit for 60 years!)
IF I WERE FRIPP's MANAGER.......(that should be a Op-Ed column, ha ha)......I'd have said "You can have your 3 drummers.....but ONLY in the studio -- not for touring". I'd then book a comfy rehearsal space for a month.....and you set up 3 drummers and whatever else you want ..........and you FILM / RECORD (with some candles or nice lighting) THOUSANDS of improvs with this expanded "chamber group". Voila! You now have 30 new KC albums / DVDs to sell over the next decade.........(and improvs should exploit "Art-Science": drummer 1 starts the first improv....D2 the second.....D3 the 3rd.....Levin the 4th.....Mel Collins the 5th....and so on. If anything stinks, you can edit it out! WIN / WIN / WIN / WIN / WIN / WIN / WIN. (Plus none of them are getting younger so why not record THOUSANDS of improv albums in a flash?)
"FOR EACH TOUR.....YOU ONLY GET AN AVANT-POWER TRIO, frippy! This saves 99% of touring costs!"
I'd also book the decorated Rehearsal Space (or Belew's house?) ("no singing in this version, Adrian!") and have it be FRIPP + a revolving door of INCREDIBLE musicians from around the world........so....it's like the NEXT 15 versions of KING CRIMSON.....but all recorded in one month! EASY! (Fuck prog rock! I want more 'PROV Rock!! Improv is fun and dangerous in a way composed stuff isn't!) (Took Tangerine Dream 45 MINUTES to make a great 45 minute LP!!! How's that for efficiency?)
EX:
I book 8 hours of improv recording / filming where it's FRIPP / Thomas Lang / and, say, Adam Wakeman (Rick's kid!) --- BOOM! You cranked out at least 4 instrumental LPs of greatness! (DVDs too) NEXT DAY, 8 hours of FRIPP / Benny Greb / Trey Gunn. Next day is FRIPP / Billy Sheehan / Buckethead / Billy Cobham! Next day is FRIPP and 2 or 3 or 4 other brilliant musicians who Fripp never played with.
I'm getting the impression that EFFICIENCY beat up Fripp as a boy!
(Why ELSE would he despise Efficiency?)
(He's got like $200,000 in rack gear etc just for his GUITAR.....and any SMART PHONE could replace it all, and maybe be cheaper to fly it around the globe!) (And he uses like 1% of his excessive gear's potential.) I was very sad to hear his 3-drummer KC was mostly a Vegas LEGACY-act, playing almost entirely OLD STUFF. That's not what Crimson means to most of us. We want DARING INNOVATION and surprises!
PS:
this week I've been listening to 1970s UK art-rockers CAMEL (terrible name alert!)........cuz their drummer does some pretty cool stuff!
So much talent here. Cheers for all of your work guys.
Our pleasure!
@@Producelikeapro Cheers!
@@RC32Smiths01 you're very welcome!
Pat is such a great guy to hang out with! Full of wisdom!
Indeed! Thanks so much for sharing!
Warren, I'm forever grateful for the reverence you show XTC (my all-time fave band). Hearing behind-the-scenes stories from people like Pat is an endless source of joy for me. Thank you!
That DW kit is really nice! Phill Collins, Mel Gaynor, Mark Brzezicki, Cherise Osei, Jeff Porcaro, Steve Gadd, Simon Phillips, Vinnie Colliuta, Jim Keltner, Larry Mullen, the list goes on mate, so many
All amazing drummers!
Pat Mastelotto is my other favourite drummer. Bill Bruford would be my all time favourite. Ginger Baker though was the start for me. Listening to Cream as a kid opened my ears to what a drummer could do (and a guitarist and bassist as well!). Steve Jansen is very underrated. Bill Rieflin of course.
I love Pat’s drumming. Agreed, Bill is an incredible talent
I did not intend on spending more than ten minutes on this interview. Just a quicks to see what Mr. Mastelotto was like as a presence/interview.
Watched the whole thing, without hesitation. Great interview on all sides! Good delivery. Kept my interest non-stop. New respect for Pat because, man, I did not know about all the other stuff from the beginning that lead up to KC. That was and still is a wild journey, your career.
Best to both of you. And the guys behind the video. Cheers.
Thanks Scott! Glad you enjoyed it!
An astonishing and beautiful story about John McLaughlin!
Agreed 100%!
Pat is one inspiring individual. What a solid character. Thanks for doing this.
Thanks ever so much
Amazing interview! Thanks Pat and Warren
Thanks ever so much!
Loved this interview. Never met him, but he's been a neighbor of mine for a while. One time about 15 years ago, I was receiving a delivery of Yamaha drums to my home and noticed one of the boxes had Pat's name. I told the driver, hey man, this one goes to another drummer. Do you who this guy is? There I was in my driveway singing "Broken Wings" to a delivery driver. He had no clue and I felt very old all of a sudden. LOL
Thanks ever so much for sharing
Very fine interview / discussion. Thanks for taking the time !!
Thanks ever so much! I really appreciate it
Pat Mastelotto toured with one of my favorite bands ever - The Flower Kings!
One of the most versatile drummers for this very reason.
I never forget when I went to see Jay Gradon all stars in Stockholm Sweden 1994 and Pat just blew me away!
Agreed, such a wonderful drummer! Thanks ever so much!
For me Pat, Steve Jansen and Yukihiro Takahashi (R.I.P) are the drummers that really capture the electronic/acoustic vibe best. Just wonderful drummers that embrace the hybrid concept of drum machines/electric and acoustic kits.
Thanks William for sharing!
Thank you for featuring Pat on this awesome interview. Stick Men are one of the most interesting bands out there, so if you have a chance to see them, please do so! I saw one of the shows at the Baked Potato, and it was amazing! Pat, Markus, and Tony are a great band.
Thanks Pat and Warren, wonderful interview
Thanks ever so much!
Great interview. Thank you. Pat’s style is unique. Watching him play reminds me of a ballet dancer moving smoothly and lasciviously between every precise and loud hit of of the instruments. Smooth and powerful all at once.
Thanks ever so much Christine! I really appreciate it
This is a fantastic interview. Pat’s become one of my favourite drummers. Saw Stick Men at the Rickshaw in Vancouver last month. It was an amazing show.
Thanks Mark for sharing, yes, wonderful drummer and the Stick Men put on an amazing show!
PM what a cool guy.
Anyone who lands CRIMSON GIG.
Well your there.
Seen the 2020 King Crimson Tour.
Unreal.
Pat is underrated big time.
Look at his studio work.
Played with many people.
Pat is very Creative .
A Team player for sure.
Great interview.
Very well said!
Thanks for the wonderful interview Pat and Warren
Thanks ever so much!
I remember that Crimson Projekt and Dream Theater tour, it was awesome.
Yes, what a wonderful tour!
Great interview. I find the stories about how musicians get to where they are fascinating.
Thanks ever so much!
So is Adrian next? Killing it with the Crimson content
Ha! Thank you so much! Glad you enjoy the Crimson content
Wonderful interview, all the great stuff I love discussed and an actual mention of Boom Boom Satellites!
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed.
Excellent Interview! Thank you!
Thanks ever so much
Fascinating insider view of KC and the music business
Thanks ever so much!
Pat is a really lovely guy, I had the privilege of playing with him on some sessions, no ego, incredible creativity and flexibility! And great stories✨
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
My fav. Producer interviewed my favourite drummer? Gotta have more coffee... enjoying it plenty.
Enjoy the coffee! And the interview. Thanks for watching.
@@Producelikeapro he's one of the coolest dudes I've met and a huge influence in my playing. the sound in the power to believe has been my goal of mixing acoustics and electronics ever since. had the privilege of met him when they played in Panama with stick men.
my favourite drummer in my favourite band, he is unique and a force of life. all those toys and all that groove... thanks for interviewing him!
@@fideldely5988 That's very cool! Thanks ever so much for sharing!
Great interview. Favorite drummers...Hunt Sales, Bonham, Cozy Powell, Jack Dejhonette, Purdie, Ed Greene, Steely Dan guys. Chad Wackerman, Dave Holland.
Fab interview. Thanks for this. Loved it.
Thanks ever so much!
Candid talk. Love it!
Thanks ever so much!
Great interview.
In opening for the Stickman In PA , I had a wonderful drummer to drummer talk with Pat. He was impressed I owned the Roland Handsonic 15 he uses to this day. Pat is also a electronic wiz as he shared how he customized his Linn Drum to tweak the sounds. He also burned sounds into the Eprom. As I recall he used that machine on The Mister Mister tracks. That takes some super Mr Science skills. Pat being a humble fellow said it was no big deal.
On stage we discussed our Handsonics as lads talking about our custom cars.
We had discovered the hidden bits these Handsonic beasts sonically can do. It was great seeing the Handsonic promentley placed in his kit. I asked him to sign my Remo djembe head, being he highly respects instruments he offered to sign a CD instead. I explained my Remo head is on its last legs and I'd be honored to have his energy grace the drum. Without hesitation he took a sharpie and signed the head with a nice message to me. He then gave me 2 signed CD's as well !
As much mind blowing music history Pat has experienced, he is a most enjoyable down home fellow. Before we parted he asked "hey if you ever want to sell your Roland let me know." I said thanks for the offer however Im quite fond of the 15 even more than my kidney."
We both laughed knowing the MMPB ( Musician Madness Priority Belief)
Example.. Dr. "Sir if you don't have the operation you may die."
Insane musician " I know I know Doc, but I gotta get that new Les Paul on sale and.. you said may die not,
will die"
Doc..Arrrgh
Goodnite folks
Thanks ever so much Brian for sharing!
Pat, really is a very humble and extremely talented guy!
My hero!
You're the man Trey!
Hey, he's my hero too!
His playing on Jude Coles " I Don't Know Why I Act This Way " is sublime....
Thanks for the amazing interview Warren
Thanks ever so much!
Great interview!
Thanks ever so much
Awesome, all this King Crimson content. They are a major influence and ii am about to mix my first album in 23 years so this helps me psych up. Caught Pat live once with Mr. Mister but the only KC musician I've ever actually met was the late Bill Rieflin just before the pandemic .. one of his last concerts I suspect.
Thanks ever so much Fedge! I really appreciate it
Thanks for such an in depth interview. Pat's really a thoughtful drummer who knows how to fit into so many different musical situations.
Absolutely. A very versatile musician
These are great interviews Warren. Thoroughly enjoyed them all so far.
I hope at some stage you get to interview Dr. Bill Bruford.
Yes, that would be truly wonderful indeed
@@Producelikeapro Bill's a GREAT interview!! Surely you can make it happen!
What an interview. sitting with my guitar on my lap noodling - an hour felt like 10 minutes. I could listen to Pat talk for hours in a sitting. And, yet again - Warren - effortless interview skills and at the highest levels - honestly a joy to watch. I had a very mentally fatiguing day and this was just what the doctor ordered on a Saturday evening with a guitar in hand and a Smithwicks Ale in the Pint in front of me. Slainte
Wow! Thanks ever so much Dwayne, I really appreciate it.
I know, right? This needed to be 3+ hours.
MOST interviews I see on YT....i and everyone say "We'd like 3 or MORE hours of this!" --- and even the celebs being interviewed often say "oh, is that it??" (one hour interviews are too short for most interesting interviewees)
Even if you watch those "Roundtables" with movie stars on YT all hanging out and shooting the shit......these A-LISTERS don't want it to end, cuz they too LOVE hanging with celebs and hearing funny stories from movie shoots etc!
(Never do A-list celebs just get to hang out and goof around with OTHER A-lister celebs. Being a celebrity is especially LONELY.)
Ditto Bill Maher's "Club Random" --- he's getting baked with other celebs! And you give us only 1 HOUR of interview??? Argh.
PLEASE, Warren.....try to make these longer!
You're all gonna be dead within a few years (GRIM!!!).......so NOW is the time for Operation Milk This Shit!
XOXOXO
Some great stories there. Pat is definitely a character. Great video thanks very much.
Thank you, Joey
Great interview with a fascinating subject.
Thanks ever so much!
wow much respect.... Pat has no genre boundaries... the older i get the more i regret being so inflexible
Yes, unbelievably versatile drummer!
Met pat at a show once. He was a bit moody. Just wanted to hear him talk. I must say that this is the coolest interview ive ever heard. I was always skeptical of him honestly. I never understood why bruford had to have another drummer. Thrak was at one time my favorite album. I was getting deep into music at the time. I appreciate the double trio yes but it seemed to fall short of itself. When i expected more i got nothing. When expecting nothing a profound statement. Anywho big fan. Mastelotto seems to give great interviews. I look forward to listening to him more. Power to believe stuff is so under rated. Great musician here.
Amazing interview
Thanks ever so much!
Pat seems like a really cool dude.
There's this one Time i saw him playing with Stick Men in this venue that was designer More for having small orchestras or classical ensambles, anyway so It had a place on the back for the choir and they sold tickets for those Places, so i had Tony Levin Markus and Pat almost at hand reach, i almost lose my mind! the concert was fantastic and at the end of the gig he reached Out and handed me one of His Gavin Harrison signature drum sticks. That Is a fantastic memory that i'll cherish untill the day i die.
Yes, Pat is a wonderful guy! Thanks for sharing Raul!
Love this interview. I’ve read some interviews with Pat in the past but this one allowed him to delve deeper into his history, sessions, stories etc. That story about the 57s on the 1st Mr. Mister record was pretty funny!
Thanks ever so much! So glad you enjoyed the interview!
wow super sit down, congrats on the 700+k
Thanks ever so much Cameron
loved his work with jude cole.
Huge talent
Hi Warren, this is such an amazing interview! I finally got a moment to check out your time with Pat- he is a very interesting guy with an incredibly diverse career. The details about his life and experiences in music is such a treasure! You both are so comfortable and natural in conversation, really good questions and discussion points on both sides. Thank you so much for doing what you do- this is a real treat! Congrats
Such a great interview
Thanks ever so much!
I'd like to hear an hour interview with Pat.......JUST ABOUT all the details / problems of the TWO drummers in Thrak Crimson.
Even non-drummers can learn a lot in a discussion about ALL the issues with not only TWO drummers......but one is an icon who may be set in his ways!
Then, another hour about ALL the issues with a 3-drummer crimson, and how they problem-solved!
Greetings to Markus Reuter. Amazing musician. Hope to see the Stick Men live one day
I saw them the other night and it was really wonderful indeed
@@Producelikeapro I saw Markus Reuter playing his touch guitar performing with Devin Townsend on the European leg of the "Empath" tour 2019. Fantastic band and the works of Markus with Gary Husband and his solo work is high on my playlist since.
@@erikmaronde2244 very nice! We love Markus, had a great time chatting with him
Great as always! 🎉❤
Thanks ever so much!
Im Patt . .for my adoracion this your groove
Pat's such an amazing musician
Thanks ever so much!
P@ gets my vote as being a drummer who embraces triggers, samples, loops and electronics in a purely seamless fashion. I know I've mentioned this before here, but would have loved to hear his details on the making of The ConstruKction of Light and the re-recording of his acoustic drums to allow for the remix/reissue of The Re-ConstruKction of Light. I enjoyed his recounting of ProjeKct X and tracking it at Adrian's home studio and garage. Fascinating career still in progress. Thank you for sharing this.
Terrific interview. Pat is a fearless artist.
Very well said!
Great interview guys,loved these stories,very illuminating
Thanks ever so much!
Finally got time to listen. Another great interview. Thank you both!
Love the XTC stories, well, love all the stories. Got to see a Pat & Trey show many many moons ago. Of course it was fabulous. Me & Trey's girlfriend at the time were the only 2 people dancing to all the lovely odd time signatures. Once you can feel those grooves, it's impossible not to dance to that kind of musical excellence. We were probably the only females too, maybe a couple of others hiding in the corners. Yup, no line for the women's loo. 🤣
Gavin Harrison...Ian Paice......Bill Bruford...Stewart Copeland...Tony Williams...Buddy Rich..
I would love to have heard the circumstances around Pat's re-recording of the drums on "The Construction of Light".
Indeed, more to come
Pages are awesome ...
Marvellous!
😀😀Thank you!
Thanks Audrey!
Really good you covered Mr Mister, hugely underrated band
If you want to hear a story go check out what Mr Mister guitarist Steve Farris and what he did when he realized the music industry was dying in the late 90's
I'd be dying to ask Danny Carey if there's any influence from Power to Believe on Fear Inoculum. I swear hear some influence how the drums are written especially with some of the pitched percussion
Yes, very interesting indeed!
instant like
Thanks ever so much
AND he toured with HOLDSWORTH?!?! With a personal friend of mine. Mr. Terry Bozzio. He lives in Oxnard now. He left Austin maybe about 10 or 12 years ago.
The XTC section is gold. He was the Mayor of Simpleton! Not deserving to be included in the video title?
Indeed! Huge XTC fan! Have you seen our XTC video? Many thanks, Warren
Here it is:- ua-cam.com/video/MTvNCFknwek/v-deo.html
@@Producelikeapro Thanks, just trying to signal-boost one of my favorite bands. XTC is the missing link between punk and prog, endlessly fascinating.
@@Armakk yew, agreed, I"m a huge fan!
Wow, what a career. Pages are huge for me. They had that schmultzy, Steely Dan, Yacht Rock thing going on. I can’t believe I’m not familiar with this guy. I absolutely love XTC and King Crimson. I kind of felt like Mr. mister was a more radio friendly, less fusiony and cornier version of Pages, but musicians gotta eat, right?
Wow, Mister Mister and touring with Tina Turner. Those are two acts to be touring together.
I wonder if bands play little clubs like The Baked Potato because the small venue is grounding. It's not about spectacle there, just the music. There's no room for anything else.
Indeed, it's also phenomenal to fell the energy and feed off the reactions of the audience!
@49:40 you'll be elevated to a new dimension of lovely wrongness! Enjoy!
Haha yes, indeed
MACHINE PRODUCED A CRIMSON RECORD?!?!?! Never expected to hear him say he was listening to SQUAREPUSHER!!!! This is too crazy! Machine is great, but I can’t say I like Hed P.E.’s music. If Machine did one of their records, it probably had a good production though.
Ten Seconds
Didn't talk enough about The Rembrandts. Those first two albums he did with them are fantastic.
Indeed. There's always more we can do!
Man, he looks like Rolf Harris 😀
Didn't care for his drumming on the Sylvian/Fripp tour. He butchered the songs from the Rain Tree Crow album that Steve Jansen played on.
Jim Gordon
Marvellous!
Pssst : Typo in the name right in the title. ;-)
Oops! and fixed! Thanks so much!
3 drummers..I didn't care for it
Rolling his eyes at a certain audience. Not that smooth.
WOW this was absolutely great!! Pat is such and incredible cat!!!!
Thanks ever so much!
