2016 Will Kennedy - TamTam DrumFest Sevilla - Pearl Drums & Zildjian Cymbals

[@IgnacioUrrutiaZottele]

very humble man, and so musical. I saw the Yellowjackets in Chile and was an amazing experience

[@EIStudent]

One of the greatest groove masters of our generation. He has completely mastered the art of syncopation, simplicity and bathing his rhythms in the pocket. Absolutely stunning drummer!

[@alexmook6786]

He is so beyond any drummer I have ever heard....just unbelievable....such an eloquent person as well.

[@janetremsing6988]

👍🙂 Check out Jack Dejohnette!

[@StefBelgium]

And Gavin Harrison!

[@charlesfranklin3533]

I Got the chance to see Mr. Will Kennedy play with the. Great Singer Chaka Khan and this Great Drummer held that Band together with his Phenomenal Drumming. This Guy is Out Of This World. Very Approachable Man. Will You A True Master of Our Instrument.

[@borgullet3376]

Will Kennedy... One of the most Brilliant Virtuosos of the instrument..... EVER.

[@pepperwilliams4428]

WK was in one of my first jazz quartets back in the early 80's. Prior to that, in 1971, he use to come and hang out in the music class as a kid and watch our teacher, Professor Bill Bell conduct the big band. Great musician!

[@TomDrum5]

not only a great player, but spectacular speaker! Such a relief that he understands the dynamic between speaker and translator as well! some of these are a disaster, but he knows when to stop talking to let the translator catch up.

[@germanserrano8527]

Una de las mejores clinicas q vi en mi vida !!!!.... excelencia en todo sentido..gracias Tam Tam!!!..

[@agustingramajo1]

Un gran maestro, muy oasionao por la musica, solo asi se puede ser un grande...felicitaciones!

[@drumstudio2000]

nooooo...... TRE MENNNNN DOOOOO! miles de gracias tam tam por traer a este gran artista!

[@MrMartell2012]

Been rocking with Kennedy since the Yellowjackets released Blue Hats in the 90's. This cat always had and has phenomenal feel and always play what the music requires at that moment. !!!!!

[@WBFBREN_]

It is true beauty to watch a master musician 😱 👌😫🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@IndepenDRUM1]

when I was 15-18yrs old I had the great joy to study with Mr Kennedy. A true professional and ultimate musician

[@ondrauscissell6952]

His playing is just beautiful to listen to !! He is such a nice person also !!

[@TheNyhm1]

Open handed playing and matched grip and amazing. Not sure why the so called great drummers of the world say your not a real drummer if you don't play traditional grip. Well this guy is in a class all his own. This proves it doesn't matter what grip you play you can still kick ass. This man rocks

[@a.nobodys.nobody]

A very small, silly group of old men share that sentiment. Any serious drummer would never ascribe to that nonsense. Anyone who doesn't take this guy seriously as a drummer...I don't take them seriously as a musician or human being 🤷‍♂️

[@a.nobodys.nobody]

Perhaps he's lefthanded; You practically have to learn open - if you share kits, there's no time for all that switching around.

[@a.nobodys.nobody]

Yes I'm lefty & Play open (dabble w traditional). Also learned guitar upside down at first, ( later switched to proper lefthand). Whatever works for you.

[@ajmonstern2009drmboy]

his left hand playing phenomenal as always W.K.

[@MrGiandrum]

Great groover,great feeling,great technique and very Great Person!!

[@keesave6686]

Thank you for the great lessons Will !

[@rle440]

So smooth, Will is a legend.

[@kentbyron7608]

What a pocket! Never mind the amazing coordination! He's unique. His feel is deep like a canyon and it never moves. He can interpret a melody like Charlie Parker. His sparkling cymbal work lifts the groove up into the heavens. Will Kennedy is a world treasure on the drums because he's a musician first. The drums come second.

[@markdavid3076]

One of my favorite drummers since the late 80s. Will just gets better and better. I do miss the sound of his drums during the time he was using Sonor drums though. He made those small drums sound so awesome. Will's sound from around 1993 is something I really miss. But as for his playing, he's top top class.

[@StompL7]

Will .... One of the best

[@janetremsing6988]

👍🙂 Niceness! GREAT STYLE & GREAT SOUNDING KIT!!! 🙂

[@gunnar838]

what comes from the heart goes to the heart, will, a beautiful musical soul, a nice warm, deeply rooted free spirit that approaches itself very musically from a primary pulse intelligent and yet also very modest music from an african, afro american, and certainly also universal virtuoso music lover,

[@artofunk]

Well said! 👍🏽 Love this dude!!

[@ja773r]

This use of snare drums has got me going for sure.... will is my favourite drummer.

[@ArkaEasyRiders]

What a master, what an underrated master. I basically learnt all I did on African 6s on the kit from his work with the Jackets. Phenomenal pocket, too.

[@athomp2006]

love Will Kennedy...that feel though...does it get any better!

[@borgullet3376]

Yeah man, he plays the kit like Brando played the camera.

[@artofunk]

Yup!!

[@pimtelman]

In my top 5 favorite drummers!

[@ivan-lk3hi]

24:30 viene lo más inteligente que un baterista debe hacer y está confirmado por este gigante de la batería. Increíble

[@KouameMatthieuNguessan]

[@artofunk]

Perfect Will!! Perfect Execution, Perfect Explanation,Feel,Clarity etc!!! U R The Dude!! and I have just a little suspicion (forgive me in advance if I’m wrong for this) but I’m guessing that at least ur aware of Big Daddy Dave...(???) maybe??? It’s the snares &&&&& welllll that kick drum roll reminded me of Chris... Not really comparing the two of you (love Both Of your styles & playin a lot!!!) but I just had to voice it... You’re Definitely 1of My Favs 4 Allll of The So Obvious Reasons!!! Thank U So Much for sharing ur knowledge, wisdom, heart & Soul!!! 🙏🏽✌🏽👍🏽

[@sergiozdrums]

that track at 17:00 was Wicked!! it shows how less is more in some cases

[@WillsMusicRoom]

The song is an arrangement of "Magnussen" from BBC's Sherlock Holmes Series - kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3S4q2hugquWaKMm29s

[@geevee7823]

Definitely in my top 10 favourite drummers, but I can't help being bugged by that hihat rod in front of that crash.

[@gaberomero127]

What main snare head is he using?? Sounds nice! Love the body of it. Hmm, I think I've heard him saying he uses the ST Dry... So maybe it's the ST Dry?? Hmm

[@deetgeluid]

22:50 Dat Kennedy Groove. 48:05 Land of Oak.

[@emanuele1981]

is the track that he play at 22:50 one of his productions or is it a track by Yellow Jackets? Many Thanks!

[@boitorythmes34]

[@WillsMusicRoom]

The song is an arrangement of "Magnussen" from BBC's Sherlock Holmes Series - kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3S4q2hugquWaKMm29s

[@WillsMusicRoom]

[@TonyGellaDrums]

[@halimdrummer777]

[@gzablodski]

Simpy phenomenal drummer. How about the beat starting from 22:50!

[@brianmcguire5175]

His point on most appropriate though is apt! Still though subject to sanctioning by commissioning body

[@MrSummerwolf]

[@rodrigoi.bobadillas.9388]

[@artofunk]

[@brianmcguire5175]

Will has always been an exceptional musician and entity. But I have to critique, he is inconsiderate of the regular drummers experience. Drummers can most certainly control and contribute to a musical enterprise. Of they are allowed to! Most time they are reduced to mere time keeping roles by many a respected arranger of music. Drums and drummers really come into their own when the group sanctions it and wants it or by even rarer chance the arranger arranges it. Will found his group of peers. He isn't talking to drummers who have to play what is told in order to keep the gig. Drums in music has function when the writer permits it

[@chan_gyu7205]

holy shit

[@manmol7573]

Mortal

[@jareddarnell1312]

"Get some, timbale"

[@greeksalad4783]

6 people have no idea what real drumming sounds like, and that's a shame.

[@deetgeluid]

Too bad of the mix for land of oak. Mul;titrack files maybe? I'll mix them

[@WillsMusicRoom]

ok, next one !!

[@ianhendrytube]

😂😂😂 wtf was that intro?

[@WillsMusicRoom]

A Mash Up of Miles Davis' "Neffertiti" and Weather Report's "River People" !! Don't know where the idea came from but it is Awesome to see how the cord changes line up !!!

[@ianhendrytube]

Wills Music Room i know what the songs are ! What i mean is, why the fuck did he start a track and then it just cut off? Hahahaa

[@cbro777]

I got the impression that was just something to listen to while he got ready to start his real set.

[@WillsMusicRoom]

That was a Mashup of Nefertiti by Miles Davis and River People by Weather Report !!! Amazing how the work together !! I Love it !!

[@sanityinaseaofmadness7353]

Nice blending of Nefertiti into that opening arrangement... No, I'm not going to compliment Kennedy on his playing, because he's obviously a monster. Oops, dammit...
