You are kidding, I hope.😮

This is a damn waste of time, good musician, bad video, horrible sound.

I had this vid in 1988 when I was playing drums!. Always admired Tico! A monster live!!

Drum duet was on fire!

exlente!!!

Who's the interviewer? Is he a drummer too?

I give the dude major props. I always liked his drumming, he knows what he he is doing. Although I think we are all a tad bit jealous of the entire thing he has been apart of, his smooth snare exercises and chops may be the top of the list.

Tico is overrated and fortunate to have been brought in by Bon Jovi. Otherwise, you would never have heard of him. He's a charity subject.

Always lived his playing.

42:36 I thought the drums were going to burst.

Worst snare sound ever 👎

I hihgly doubt that this is from 1995, since Spivack passed away in 1994.

❤️🥁❤️

Carlos Maltz do Engenheiros do hawaii!!!

Tico always played with great feel and for the songs..

44:33 44:38 I was injured and have to re teach myself rudiments and groove. I am so happy to hear that Blas was a drum corp player. I have relearned so much in 1 hour as compared to 1 month myself. Stick control book has stood the test of time.

Seus tambores estão desafinados. 😮

Mike fusano came in to tune my drums for my 1st record,I had no idea on how to tune..we recorded the drums and they were buried in the mix so much,whatever he did (and not on his end) didn’t mean shit

Ah, the old Ludwig Super Classics!

Just as I thought. He SUCKS.

He's a solid 6 , always has been

Lame

I had the honor of meeting Louie Belson and watching him play at Mayfest 1989 in Tulsa, OK. Super nice gentleman, and an amazing drummer!

He also was in the movie Rockstar with Mark Wahlberg

Just learned of Blas today. Great player. Fundamentally sound, and creative.

The hitman

Grande Tico. Un muy buen y sólido baterista de rock. 🤘🏼

I was never a fan of BonJovi but I always like Tico’s drumming.

Enigo montoya on drums

Ya know - l always thought this kid was weak - upon watching this video - he REALLY HAS SOMETHING GOING ON - Kudos to him (Scarborough HS - Houston, TX) …. Good job

This an interesting video, you know this is a pretty nice drummer. The only thing on this video its about those drums sound not according to his level. A curious fact: do you know the people from Costa Rica are called "Tico" as regionalism. hehehe.

"We'll Always Have Paris"

For a "professional drummer" his drums sound like crap.

Energy is on..not the smoothest but wow

Pure GOLD!

I bought this video (VHS) from Guitar Center, I still have it. Bob was a great teacher.

Tico is a fine drummer who was devoted to one band and thats way he is not well known but listen carefully to his clever drumming in the song " Always" and you will know his quality.

😎

That kit sounds awful, nothing like him on the records. Wasn't really impressed by his solo, but the awful drum sound didn't help.

Ugh

Mr. Torres has such a wealth of knowledge things needed as a live/studio drummer. Additionally, he very versatile as a drummer from jazz, rock and if correct Latin. I have great respect for Mr Torres and a accomplished DRUMMER!!!

Wow excellent

He looks like the carpenter, Clay Guida,fighter from the UFC, and he sounds like columbo,I like vic firth 5B, they say they have no bananas,and it's true,I rolled a lot of their sticks and never found one with a warp in it, regal tip sticks had lots of warps

He just taught rock and country drumers how to play in a hour.

Pure 90s cheese! Parmesan cheese even!

Video finally starts at 4:53 . The introduction of every guitar player is ridiculous. Get to the drumming and what we came here for.!

Very underrated, or overlooked. Never even heard his name. Very good drumming machine and a nice dude. Awfully young in this video. I'm a late coming fan. Hope he's still out there doing his thing! Rock on brother

28:12 isnt what hes demostrating a six stroll roll? Because thats how I do my 6 stroke rolls on the toms and snare and thats how I was taught to perceive what hes doing there.. can even call it a par-a-diddle-diddle.. thats how I would say it in my head when I play that groove on the toms and snare. R-L RR LL (par-a diddle diddle). Blas Elias is full of knowledge and I always learn something new from watching these old drum vhs tapes. Had no idea he comes from an education background. I personally am self taught. Pat Torpey is another drummer whos vhs tapes I still watch and learn something from till this day.

He Rocks buuuut he's a busy drummer too much flash imo i appreciate his dedication to expression but it's hampering that pocket groove. You'd never catch Adler or Tommy lee that busy. He is good tho obviously, chops for days I'm just more of a pocket drummer with brief moments of flash strategically placed in a song

quite correct description of levels re accented and unaccented technique. but my dude here hasn't worked super seriously on that kind of accuracy. his grooves are close enough for rock and roll--not perfect of course. but he's more entertainer than musician. slaughter? yeah, no copy-cat or stereotypical 80s glamor rock there at all... except for the occasional dotted-8th-16th note kick👍
