  • I'm playing along to the 'Tripping The Live Fantastic ' version of 'Live and Let Die', as performed by Paul McCartney with me on drums.
    Lovely Istanbul Agop cymbals - Traditionals and Mantra.
    My 1991 Noble & Cooley Horizon drums, plus my 5 x 14" Classic N&C snare drum I played on the McCartney tour (1989/90).

    I just stumbled upon your channel from a post on "Drum Forum" about you. As a drummer, I remember watching you at one of the concerts. Your energy and style was such an integral part of the McCartney show. I completely agree that you and Joe English were the best drummers Macca had in his solo career. Thanks for sharing these wondering videos! It is great "seeing" you again Chris!!! You truly were blessed to have the ride of a lifetime playing with Paul !!!!

    Precise, clean, groovy, aggressive, solid, brutally artistic. Top three drummers with Nick Menza and Scott Travis.

    Thank you for posting this video. That CD is one of my favorites in terms of your drumming and overall drum sound. I smile every time I hear the "Young Master Christopher" reference. When I was a young drummer I struggled with some of the time signature changes when trying to play along to the original recording, but finally was able to figure it out. There's a UA-cam interview with Denny Seiwell where he talks about recording the original track. The entire recording took just a few hours, which to me is amazing.
    I'd love to see a similar video on how you played the intro to "Coming Up" on the same CD.
