I’ve been watching this here and there for years and always knew he was great but watching it now I see his greatness on a whole different level. Rest in peace sir.

This is so special on several levels. Yogi gave big credit to Ringo...I grew up in Chicago...young drummers weren't giving credit to Rock & Pop Drummers

Horton is so educated. I am watching this for the third time. I talked with my drum teacher about it. It was very fruitful. But one thing strikes me as a bit odd: if the hit on the crash is not in accordance with your body motion, put a second one the other side. Problem solved.

Yogi mastered the art of playing ballads. I saw him with Luther Vandross back in 1985 at the now defunct Valley Forge Music Fair in Devon, Pa. He actually made the time feel like you were floating in outer space. His uptempo work was solid from start to finish and his meter was impeccable. He’ll never be forgotten.❤🙏🏽🥁🥁 13:31

I remember Yogi from Teaneck High School. I graduated in 1970 and I think he was a year younger. I also remember hanging out at Platinum Records in Englewood. I'd hangout with couple of guys from the band "Brother To Brother". Anybody remember Billy Jones and Chuck Carrado?

It takes a determined pursuit of knowledge and more importantly a deep contemplation of that knowledge to be able to speak in the way he does about drumming. It's obvious that after learning the "what" & "how" of a subject, he also searched for "why" and "where" and "what for" LOL If your a musician who wonders about such things, this is what Mastery looks and sounds like.

@FenderJazzStudent3 жыл бұрын
Yeah, I made the Yogi Horton Wikipedia page from scratch back in July 2015... (there wasn't a page for him before I started one, which I thought was a shame), and I made sure to include links in the sandbox/editing tool (which still work in the article, fortunately) to all legitimate source information...in this case his fact of suicide was sourced from a book (still available digitally on Google Books) titled "Rock Obituaries: Knocking On Heaven's Door", with Horton's story on page 284. To be more thorough, and I think this should probably be added as a link to my Wikipedia article, there is an Associated Press article still available from 1987 about his death, too.
