Thank you for the great info!

Can anyone point me out to music where we can see the polyrhythms Mr. Ziad talks about in this video?

Anyone knows the title of the song he plays at the beginning by any chance?

I would love to see the Whole interwiew......anybody know where to find it....."BehindtheNotes" doesn't seem to exist any more...

Etienne is a really great musician and he has a great fashion sense too I saw and heard him in Seoul, Korea when he came with John McLaughlin and the 4th Dimension. I want to know about his music more!!

Love this guy

I am a DRUMMER of 40 years! Liberty DeVitto is a World Class Drummer as is. He did NOT write the MUSIC or indeed the LYRICS. What he did do should not be dismissed - syncopation, drive, light and shade, time changes, lightness, aggression, impact, BALLS. This ONLY COMES from Drummers. Words and Music are Billy Joel's - the the Grammar / Punctuation / Full Stops / Commas / Fills / Bridge / not to MENTION LIVE STAGE presentation - anyone looking at a Concert Footage sees a SHOW.

can i put 2 likes??

Tha man

Lost Tribe is one of the greatest instrumental bands of all time! Check out there album Soulfish. They mix elements prog, metal, jazz, funk all into one album.

Very cool/.

Without Liberty Billy would only be half of what he is today! Its so sad that people don't understand music to see it for what it really is! Liberty is awesome!

Well, Jon, I guess we will have to agree to disagree. Billy Joel is the talent, while the other band members are the supporting cast. I dig LD's style, but he is not the reason I bought the albums/CD's. I guess that we can agree that the music is great! Be well, my friend

Well, that isn't really true. Many Songs were written for or around LD. Only the Good Die Young is a prime example of a song that changed and became a hit because of the suggestions by LD. Same with I go to extremes, Get it right the first time and many others. In fact, only one "hit" was recorded before LD was in the band and Piano Man was a modest hit at best. It wasn't until Turnstiles that Joel began making hits. Before you comment on his character vs Billy Joel look into his dismissal

That's all well and good, however, LD was paid to perform as a member of the band, which he did. If he felt that he was entitled to "producer/arranger" credit and more money, then he should have worked that out a long time before, not wait years later, trying like everyone else to stick his hand in Bill Joel's pockets. If you look at Billy's most popular songs, you will find very little of LD's influence. I like LD 's style as a drummer, but as to his character, I find him lacking.

also conclude that he was an uncredited arranger for those projects and should receive credit as an arranger. He never claims to have written the songs. His claim is one of a producer/arranger who shapes and frames the music. Such people get a cut of the royalties. This same situation happened between the members of The Band.

As the situation is read, it seem that he is not looking for songwriting credit, but rather a producer credit which, considering his influence in the studio while songs were being written, is more than plausible. Many bands have done such credits in the past in various forms. The very fact that he was the longest tenured member with Billy Joel and the Billy Joel hasn't recorded an album or written any new tunes shows that the depature of LD was a considerable impact on the music. He could...

"...taking any credit what so ever." Taking credit is one thing, taking Billiy Joel to court to sue him over rights to songs is quite another. I know how music works. I also know about facts. Google "Liberty devitto sues Billy Joel" if you want the facts.

I think you are underestimating the power of influence. This man was with Billy Joel for all but his first record. And I don't hear him taking any credit what so ever. I don't see him taking any song writing credit. He is talking about making music like any good studio drummer does. Learn how music works before making a statement like that.

beautifull

People give Liberty way too much credit for the success of Billy Joel. I like Liberty's style, but I bought a stack of Billy Joel CD's not to hear him, but to hear Billy Joel's songs and his voice. Taylor Hawkins is great, so is Chester Thompson, so is Mike Portnoy. Drummers, like all band members, often come and go. Liberty probably blew his money and wants far more credit for his part in the BAND that he deserves. Why isn't he in another band earning a living and stop complaining?

Does anybody have full versions? It seems like BehindTheNotes ended their work and it's impossible to buy it.

At the end of the video it said Liberty was using Mapex Drums, but he was actually playing on Sonor Drums. What gives man?

Fantastic sound. The initiative is very good, the record of this and other work is very important not only for musicians but also for the general public. My compliments!

Karim Ziad. The best drummer!!!! My influence.

Super ! votre style rappel un peu celui de Nguyen Lee... Continue Ziad!

My Man!
