This drummer's unusual doublebass drum groove is most consistent.... coupled with his hand solo proves phenomenal independence of hands and feet. You don't see many drummers with this skill. Any drummer worth his salt would know that. Indeed major respects to him....and sad for all the trollers here. That's one for Terry Bozzia.
He’s a genius - Bozzio belongs in the company of the greatest composers and instrumentalists of this century and the last. Anyone arguing that point doesn’t know what she / he is talking about.
I had the privilege of seeing him perform live and up close and personal at a drum clinic doing his melodic drumming. . He is so good he is on other levels. I'll never forget that drum clinic.
Terry Bozzio's approach to drumming and kit set-up seems to evolve in the direction of making the drum set a melodic instrument. One thing for certain he is one of the most innovative modern drummers I've listened to.
Most original musical drummer ever! I would know he taught me back in 1980 to 82,then went on tour with Terry and getting to watch and learnn so much! He's also the best teacher! Love his style and utter heart when he pounds his drums! !!!
JC,in 1983 i had a best friend and drummer who i told about Terry Bozzio's playing on Missing Person's Spring Session M album. He just scoffed at him and said it sounded more like an electronic drum kit. I disagreed and said that even if it was,he was still playing it and it sounded extraordinary to me. Fast forward to 1988 and him and i are in Hollywood CA picking up some new gear from guitar center and who do you see on giant posters plastered on the walls inside?...Terry Bozzio. I looked at my drummer and friend and said...'musta been one hell of an electric kit but it looks acoustic to me. I knew Terry Bozzio was special. I so envy your experience with him and happy for you being able to see it all.
This guy makes me realize that with all the years of playing and learning I’ve done. I’m still so inside the box with how I think about music. Even with all the jazz playing, metal, fusion, marching band. All that. There is still so much to learn and experience. And I’m 42 now.... damn I feel old
Amazing independence and I just love the way he’s tryna get loose with that left shoulder movement. Such a pure and honest expression of his personality thru music! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 BEAST!!!!
This is no doubt one the most important, beautiful, legendary drummer's exhibition I have ever witnessed! The algorithm was right on the money with this one! Terry Bozzio is fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
brilliant . just brilliant. i could listen to Terrys compositions all day . what a visionary. in these times an absolute relief to hear his music. its pure energy and emotion.
I saw him live a couple of years ago with the huge kit; It was inspiring.... Terry's never been afraid to be unconventional. He intentionally goes where no drummer has gone before. Terry is perfectly capable of doing a conventional monster drum solo...he absolutely has the chops, but he chooses to be unique. Good on him for taking the road less traveled!
You're not gonna get a blazing Eric Moore, Tony Royster, or Vinnie Coliuta solo from this guy. You're not gonna get a jazz inflected chops solo like Todd Sucherman or Steve Smith. I've never seen such a lack of support for an artist that has found their own niche, which is deliberately his own, than Terry Bozzio. This is not a rock drum solo that wedges between two crowd favorites. This is not an instagram 1:00 clip edited down from 100 minutes of blah. The white noise is musical, the snares off tribal solo over ostinato is his thing. Park your car somewhere else if you hate this street. Educate yourself on who Steve Reich and Edgard Varese are and approach his drumming as a composition + improvisation in a chamber music environment. If you think orchestral music is pretentious, well then, I can't help you. Enjoy your Imagine Dragons, dumbo.
Well said thank you. I remember back when I was in high school in the 90s I would always see his drum kits on the cover of drum magazines and although I could never get into his music I always had full respect for him for doing what he does in creating a different style that's all his own. That takes a lot of guts to do what he's doing.
Glad to see Terry getting love here seen other videos and all people are doing in comments are bitching about the size of drum kit and him not using all toms and cymbals in those songs, I’m mean yeah those songs don’t require them.
I saw him doing this composition in 1998 in Gothenburg. I just hade started to listen to Zappa and when I saw that the ex Zappa drummer was going to play in Gothenburg I just had to take the train from Stockholm! The cymbal part here is what I think what really puts him in a league of his own. Too often drum solos is just a chopping matter. But Bozzio is turning the drumming to something completly different
I like how he has a melodic approach to the kit. That's one thing I like about this solo and something that I like a lot about Simon Phillips as well, they have themes or motifs in their solos. This solo had some parts that remind me kind of like Japanese taiko drumming in some parts. Wish I had that hand/foot independence.
De la pure musique ,ça chante ! ça groove , et techniquement avec ses ostinattos c'est juste hors norme ! J'avais vu Terry en demo en live , a aubervilliers ....en 1998 je crois...Super musicien inventif et créatif...(un professeur de batterie )
Thanks for editing the description - I deleted my previous comment - thanks for caring about musical art. This is SUCH a high-quality video on every level, thank you!!
This is definitely the B rig. Still brought the crazy China stack upper deck . How I wish I could take some lessons from him. A true master of the art form
Terry Bozzio Would be a amazing Count Dracula his face reminds me of Bella Lugosi he should try out for a Vampire movie he would kill it like he does on the drums
@Kapālin Yeah, Bozzio knows all the right stuff for sure. I havent heard him really quoting other drummers before, usually he avoids that, but now im very interested to hear who else he quotes sometimes. Tony Williams also makes perfect sense within Bozzios own style, no wonder he quoted him too. Tony Williams is such a master player, an apex player, always will be.
I saw an interview where Neil Peart talked about using dance shoes, (basically ballet slippers) so I bought a pair of cheapies. NIce. I like 'em. I guess the next stop is the army surplus store for boots.

@@musicM0VESme I saw him at West Coast Drums in a Clinic, also with Jeff Beck at the Greek theater, amazing talent.
Instead of playing the hi-hat left foot is on bass drum, that's how he gets that double bass groove. Ain't no thang but a chicken wing.
Master musician. Sounds like an entire group of Tibetan monks having a jam.
Yeah! Extremely melodic.
@@paradiddle16 !
I second that ! "Strabo" is not able to listen to Terry!
This is not a solo , this is art & music in itself !
The pattern he’s playing with his feet is so consistent it sounds like an entire ensemble
I don't even have the words to describe what I just saw and heard. Impressive.
terry Bozzio, genius of the drums
This composition is pure art , It has power and sophistication

Agreed! Hes approach to drums is so diffrent. Did a reaction on this piece: ua-cam.com/video/zp7xvi4CZi0/v-deo.html

My favourite drummer. This is how drums should be played. Not only rythm... but also melody :)

Same we all are in comparison to Terry you aren’t alone!
I was there, operated one of the camera’s and it was magic!
What can I say about Terry that hasn’t already been said. He is in a league of his own ,one of the best of the best .
Yes, clearly one of the best🥁🥁🥁
I hear Music
Thanks Mr. Bozzio
Terry is one of the greats of our time. He is such a beast. Baby Snakes
Jesus.... his base drums have their own base drums. :0
lol
Wetton, Zappa and Jobson gave direction to Terry's need for percussive meandering...:) His work in both bands is extraordinary.
The Black Light Syndrome album absolutely blew my mind.. I knew all his fills by heart. Such a big influence on me.
Their second album, Situation Dangerous, is equally mind blowing.
The one and only, Terry Bozzio
Amazing independence and I just love the way he’s tryna get loose with that left shoulder movement. Such a pure and honest expression of his personality thru music! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 BEAST!!!!
The first Double beast drum solo, white olatungi
A true master of the Avant Garde' Drumming approach.
My favorite drummer for 30 years. And this has got to be one my favorite of his solo pieces. Thanks for posting!

I am watching drumming by Bozzio from 20 years ago to still fine inspiration and be inspired. MIND BLOWN

I don't think I'll ever be this impressed by a drum solo ever again. My hats off to you sir!
I got here via Missing Persons, via Zappa... Wow, this guy is next level, and from deep left field. Awesome!
Seen this man with Zappa, U.K. and Beck.
Such a dynamic drummer!
Whole melodic approach.
One of my favourite drummers of all time. A ridiculous talent.
I watched and listened and then only listened. They are two different experiences - both fantastic.
I'm forever a fan of and inspired by, Terry Bozzio!
From the days of glam hair I've been mesmerized by Terry's chops, and energy.
Bozzio is a complete fuckin' monster! One of the very best...ever!
Living Legend ! Incredible !
Man that's Rocking.......like
everything cymbal hardware
overhead Mic ...... Awsome !
What a ride
That's his backstage warm up kit.
LOL

Geez. Don’t take yourself too seriously
Telling a story on drums ... !
Shhhhhh master at work
Even though his playing does not please me I respect what he does❗️
Lars Ulrich is that way thanks for stopping by
@@neoneherefrom5836 He was being respectful and you had to be a bellend...
Just listened with headphones for the first time. Need to listen to him more with headphones
Deeply emerse within osain drum groves, very well done...
That is just nuts. Terry plays like a freaking octopus back there.
That was an outstanding Afro-Cuban grove...
Amazing drummer, my favorite!
That ostinato tone is killer
So many cymbals, it looks like an alien invasion
They sound like an alien invasion too lol
Terry Bozzio, un genio de genios, un muso inspirador, porque no sólo es técnicamente excelente, si no que re musical. hermoso!

I see he's playing his small kit here. Ha. I always assumed his mammoth kits were a gimmick - but by golly - he's a fabulous musician. Love it!
That was really cool.
Pff con este video me enamoró x primera vez!!
Pure beast on the kit.

looks like an ancestor of the current mangini set. Great drumming of Bozio
Il primo uomo orchestra drummer . Pazzesco ! N 1
Thanks
Amazing
Simply hipnotic!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I helped set this kit up at MI in 1996. Full size trucks worth of shit. Great independence and a nice guy
I have to say I had a lot of trouble understanding this. Musician but this solo made me say yeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaa was awesome . brilliance .
Masterpiece!!!! 👍
Absolutely Fantastic... The late 1980’s Terry Bozzio is Back...... Love It !
And that is how to tune a kit. Masterful.
Amazing!
pure terry bozzio--god of the drums
Ladies and Gentleman , Mr. Terry Bozzio !
Excellent Beautiful Sublime Inmortal 🎼🎵🙏🛸
The kick drum rhythm is amazing, great example of having so many drums... and this is his small kit 😂
This is definitely the B rig. Still brought the crazy China stack upper deck . How I wish I could take some lessons from him. A true master of the art form
Unique Voice...
That was pretty sick.
Those aren't cymbals; they're chandeliers.

Фантастика!
99 pc of people have no idea how crazy this is ... Total independence of the upper and lower body that's fucking unbelievable ...
His kit has grown a lot since then..
0:10 - 0:30 Max Roach impression. After that Terry does his own thing.
@Kapālin Thanks ,buddy. I was actually surprised by Terry's little homage there, but it actually makes perfect sense, it fits 100% with his own style.
@Kapālin Yeah, Bozzio knows all the right stuff for sure. I havent heard him really quoting other drummers before, usually he avoids that, but now im very interested to hear who else he quotes sometimes. Tony Williams also makes perfect sense within Bozzios own style, no wonder he quoted him too.
Tony Williams is such a master player, an apex player, always will be.
Insane
One of top three - with Peart and Bonham
Monster!!! ❤❤❤❤
A master. 😎 Abide

LOL.. Cracked me up on that one blujay.!!
It would take a whole village to play what he’s doing solo. That kit sounds like it’s alive.
