Sorry but no groove means no Gig.

i was in the right place at the right time as a young PFC Marine rolling into DC in '77 for my first station after Boot and ITR and heard tickets for Zeppelin went on sale in two days. I checked in and found my 1st Sgt. and begged him to give me two days off to go campout to by Zeppelin tickets. He threw me a bone and I got two tickets. Ended up asking a cute Navy Federal Credit Union teller to go with me. What a powerhouse band...you knew you were in the presence of greatness. Thanks for the drum related details. I knew Bonzo was great but didn't know why.

I think he likes Paice 😊

Why do you support hypocritical liars like Travis and Mitch and Jack from Real Estate Mindset?

Thats what i needed to hear. The opinion on 24" bass drums Been thinking of getting a kit with a 24 Thanks

100% agree, Ian Paice has always been my favorite drummer and a huge influence on my playing since I became aware of Deep Purple when Machine Head was released in the early 70's. Incredible, underrated drummer.

The first 2 albums should be studied by every serious drummer. Listen to his feel and intensity. The old bebop drummers are my favorite, and I can hear the swing in Bill's ride cymbal. I'm late 50s now,have been listening to Sabbath since high school, and always will ! 🥁

Bill will always be my number 1. Thank you for the video.

I saw Terry and Warren C. in1981-82 here in Seattle at our Paramount Theater with Missing Persons. He set his kit up stage left and to watch him was akin to standing twenty feet in front of Randy Rhoades in the same venue a little earlier in 81. I saw Jeff in the Paramount in 1998. I also saw Jeff & Jan Hammer opening for Rick Derringer and Aerosmith on their Rocks tour in 1977.

Back when Terry had a miniscule kit🤣!

Joe English was my friend. We hung out in Tokyo in '79. I was playing music there and Joe did a concert with Alphonso Johnson and a guitarist named Bobby Cochran. I had just met John Lennon and we would talk about the former Beatles. Joe didn't know he was auditioning with Paul. Paul's trombone player Tony Dorsey asked him to come to New Orleans and jam. They played "Lucille" and Paul said "Do you want the gig? Joe said he almost fell off his drum throne. Paul paid him a ton of money and treated him like a Brother. Joe's Wife suffered a terrible car crash and he devoted his life to the Lord and quit the band. I haven't seen him since the early 80's.

Hurts my ❤. Still coming to grips with the loss of Jeff. Lukather loved Jeff. Luke's first interview after Jeff's passing he was speaking of Jeff's greatness and said Jeff was God's guitarist and unfortunately he truly is now. I Thought that meant so much.

A late thank you man. You were a big influence my playing, I could tell what you've said on this channel came from long study and meditation on drumming as an art. Was practicing today thinking about things you taught me years ago, so came to check in. Hope you're well.

Nice points. Yeah, they are phenomenal. A life-changing band for me. Also, nobody talks about how Geezer and Bill formed such a hard-grooving and relentlessly swinging rhythm section. I don't care much for metal played straight. That's how much of an impact Sabbath had on me. Thanks for sharing.

My favoritte drummer ever. Not only has Sir Ian Paice been in Deep Purple since day 1 & played on all their albums & concerts thru the years Sir Ian Paice was also a major part of Whitesnake & Gary Moore. Ian Paice on the drums Yeah 💜💜 Also listen to: Pictures Of Home from Machine Head 👍

Audio sucks ass badly

Got to see them in Wa, with Paladino on bass. Santana, Stewart also on the bill. Beck's guitar was luscious...

Paice, I thought was traditionally taught. He taught himself, incredible!

F++king Awe-Sum!!! Thanks!!!

Kieth moon sounded sloppy as hell Zakk is better

Denny Carmassi played drums for Ted Nugent on the album "Spirit Of The Wild." I am a drummer too.

Kudos for your contributions to the art and science of drumming Richard. These lessons will withstand the test of time (pun not withstanding) regardless of how many "hits" they get on KZbin. Spirit recognizes content, not form. Sorry for the abstract language. In plain language, these lessons are hidden gems for those of us who were lucky to stumble upon them..

Total agreement. This is a far more primordial version of the shuffle. A camera showing what the feet are doing would been highly appreciated, or at least a transcript. Still, I'm amazed at the relatively low number of views. this video has gathered over the past 10 years. I won't be surprised the day a big name drummer comes along and makes videos with their brand all over your ideas and score huge numbers of views with them..

Can you tell me what song at the Isle of Wight concert when uses the floor Tom and uses the box of sticks ?

Tommy Lee, predominantly a single bass player does a lot of snare and bass together, and with the huge 26'+ gives his songs a lot of power.

for some reason always enjoyed the larger Scottish pipe band sticks. A nice tapper and some weight to blast out metal.

Bill is the best drummer ever. He wrote songs with the drums. Not just playing along with the guitar bass whatever. Example. Iron Man was regarded by zappa as a masterpiece along with the great classical composition. Listen to what Bill does with the main riff. It's a slow disco beat. 1970. The man knows how to groove. You try to play a normal beat, it fails. I don't even want to hear about Neil peart and rush. Boring. Technical nonsense. Like shred guitar

Excellent, thanks..

Bill Ward drumbs with Vengeance Thats some bad ass music especially Volume 4. Alice cooper band has a pretty good drummer too But Bill Ward leaves me speechless. and deaf.

Total agreement on all points. The Beatles were OK until Ringo showed up. He was the spark they needed to raise their game to the next level and became great. According to his own commentary, those creative, quirky, distinctive drum fills were largely the result of a left-handed drummer trying to lead with the right hand. Mixing things up with open handed hi-hat drills recently discovered on your channel are having Ringo-like effect on my own creativity, so Thank you!

Very cool. John Barbata's drumming is an awesome example of how this technique can drive a tune on Big Surf by The Sentinals. He also played for Jefferson Airplane and The Turtles..

Just subscribed. What you're doing is brilliant. In the years to come others will follow and there will be more channels like yours sprouting up..

Nice. This exercise is a killer..

Keith Moon: lead drummer

seen nufink of you drumming. I could have put that shit together

Keith Moon wasn't a beat keeper he was an essential part of the band. He was a phenomenal drummer, just listened to his drumming and quadrophenia he had his own unique style and he was my hero All hail the Moon

The. Who. Ain't. The. Who. Without. .moon

Well. Said

He would of been that much better if he learned some rudiments, it would of inspired everyone even more more if listened to some soul music, thats the between Mooney and Bonham

Paradiddles...were awesomely in Amazing journey sparks come on 👨

Man, everytime I see a list of drummers without Bill Ward, I dismiss it! Bill Ward was a great drummer, great improv player, screw those who don't think he is, they're not drummers!

Joe’s pretty cool, I have to say. I only had a few minutes to talk to him but next time I’m up there I’ll have more time.

"Iron Man" the first sabbath song XD

Keith Moon, just played on instinct! That’s why he’s such a god dude! 🙏🏽

Unfortunately, Ginger Baker's improvisational skills are often overlooked. The live version of Spoonful is an excellent example of his improvisational abilities. In the middle of the song, the free form part flows more like a purposeful jazz improve as compared to a mindless rock jam.

Take any drummer you like and ask them to play at Keith’s level for two hours

I just found your video I 'm now Devoted fan. I'm 70years old started as others pots pans at 4 years old then my snare drum at 5, my first set at 7 studied with several teachers .My first band was My friend who played clarinet and sax flute but we played pokes at many polish homes which he fit right in being polish I'm italian/American I played Ata steak club that had burlesque Ann Corin and a comedian slappy whiteI was 11 and had to have an adult sign a form they took responsibility. Later Ì got the gig at 15 to play for Richie GroovinHolmes a JazzB3 Organist a t an all black clubback then times were different but they liked me and got inv it'd back 3 more times. Anyway back to Sandy McKeewho I also had the pleasure to meet also in Boston 2 years earlier and Lydia PENSE and band were Smokin hot they tore the roof off the place Luther's I believe back then and you are spot on about Sandy's playing style hi hallowed than his snare drum that blew me away how ingots name did he accomplish this feat? Just amazing. So my new f r low mentoring really excited to look at all your videos . GOD BLESS BE WELL

JE is underrated as a drummer.

Who are the 2 guitarists and the singer who joined Jeff, Terry & Tony at about the 18 minute mark ????

Definitely not. Overrated.
