BEHIND THE BEATS * DRUMMING OF THE MUSIC OF ALLAN HOLDSWORTH - GARY HUSBAND ONLINE DRUM TUITION

[@NeilRaouf]

i once heard allan say that all his music is in 1/1 or something. Hahahaha! What a brilliant mind!

[@birage9885]

Saw Allen and you with IOU in Philadelphia back in the 80s, sat at a table right in the front row in front of Allen. As a guitar player, I came to basically see him, but I remember being so captivated with your drumming, I couldn't take my eyes off of you, and was getting dizzy looking back and forth between you and Allen. When I came home, I told my drummer that you had to be the most lyrical and creative drummer I had seen to date. Since then, you are the drummer I enjoy listening to the most, and your keyboard work is unreal too.

Abstraction, Extrapolation, Angles, Asymetry, Emotion. What I feel from the profound music of Allan Holdsworth and Company. Love your music Gary, recently you appeared in a dream I had and I started to see these posts, synchronicity?

[@jrmeu1971]

You are of the other planet, Gary. Always inspiration...

[@niwa957]

One of the most gifted musicians I have ever seen. Way back in the 80's a Modern Drummer cover story, '86 Frankfurt live with Allan Holdsworth, almost levitating with Level 42, ripping it up with John McLaughlin against and together with Ranjit Barot (a major force himself). It's all the same guy, incredible. Thanks man, please keep going.

Sounding better than ever Gary.

vidsforsquids Thank you so much! I appreciate it 😀🙏

I saw the great Allan Holdsworth in the late 1970’s touring with Jeff Clyne and Pepi Lemer here in the UK. Once seen - never forgotten. Thank you for keeping his music alive for the next generation, Mr Husband. Warmest thanks.🌞🙏🌞

[@GaryHusbandKeyboardsandDrums]

FunkyFlunky Yeah I remember that tour well! With Neil Ardley also. I was playing drums 😉👍

[@eyelidman09]

My apologies Mr Husband - I don’t have the tour info to hand - but you were indeed playing drums on that tour. Halcyon days.🌞🙏🌞

I was in central park late afternoon yesterday sitting on a bench, I looked at the sky and trees and felt the temperature go down as the sun was setting. I zipped up my jacket and I immediately felt compelled to type in Unmerry Go Round on my phone and listened to all 14 minutes of it at full volume. I've heard it many times but now that he's gone I appreciate the reverence in your solo as a profound movement in that concerto even more. It has more meaning than ever. It was a full journey as I sat there. It was solemn when it was over ,I took off my headphones and looked around the park and I realized you where just part of the scenery. I told Allan that as well. You guys are the soundtrack of Manhattan for years. Paul NYC

[@GaryHusbandKeyboardsandDrums]

Pjr J Paul, thank you for your very moving post here! It brought tears to my eyes and means a terrific amount. So appreciated. 🙏

[@planetxlr]

I remember how at the end of Mr Berwell you would take off into the ethos as I traveled on the streets of NY. I wore out all my Allan cassettes and replaced them several times.

[@marcomiceli2068]

Pjr J When first heard that part my heart skipped a beat

[@henrywalinda9099]

Great and greetings from Germany

[@Ntimitree]

Excellent superb drum sound - tuning

[@benchrista5551]

Great thoughts and realities about Allan!

[@FusionHowie]

Thank you Gary for your astonishing way of looking at musical ideas, you are an endless inspiration on so many levels !

[@GaryHusbandKeyboardsandDrums]

FusionHowie My gratitude to you, thank you so much 🙏

[@insurrectusresistus]

This is priceless!!! Thank you for sharing

[@DavidMorley]

I'm 55. Allan Holdsworth's music travelled with me since I first heard Tokyo Dream and saw him live in the mid 80's and it continued until his heart breaking death (although of course, I listen to him everyday). Thanks so much for this video Gary and your brothership with Allan comes across in your words and music with him and solo.

[@GaryHusbandKeyboardsandDrums]

David Morley Thanks David! 🤗🙏

[@AidanMmusic96]

Ah, always wondered how Atavachron and Sand were done! Brilliant stuff Gary.

[@GaryHusbandKeyboardsandDrums]

Aidan6496 Thank you! 🙏

[@chrismccraven4059]

I finally got to see the concept on Checking Out!THANK YOU Sir Gary! COLOSSAL and BRILLIANT!!!

[@zarwarrior]

I still remember that day clearly in my mind when I dropped the needle of my record player on that record and as I began listening along with my musical brother we looked at each other in disbelief and our jaws dropped to the floor. Up to this day I have not recovered from that and the musical piece (Non-Brewed Condiment) was what you just played at 3:10 min of this video. Thanks for the inspiration Gary!

[@tobbebergman7583]

Thanks Gary ! Instant buy ! Love it ! Been waiting for this and hope there is a lot more to come regarding your collaborations with Holdsworth ! Cheers !

[@GaryHusbandKeyboardsandDrums]

Tobbe Bergman Wonderful to read your response and thank you Tobbe! I so appreciate it! 😀🙏

[@theavenger3363]

Glorious ... It’s easy to see why Alan’s spirit aligned with yours. Brilliant stuff Gary.

[@DanielDenisDrayroccoco]

👍🏼🙏

[@GaryHusbandKeyboardsandDrums]

Daniel-Denis Dray Thanks Daniel! Appreciate it 😀🙏

[@MrThomas1958]

Thank you for this, Gary. By the way, your drumming on Allan' s "Mr. Berwell" from that legendary 'Atavachron' album is overwhelming, Sir !

[@keremeye]

Did you record these huge drum sound with 3 sm57 and bass drum mics?::)

[@pkinthehouze]

I love ATAVACHRON! And, yes it's true. I've known even girls to like it! But seriously, talk about an underrated and little-known gem of an album. And "Mr. Berwell." I really dig the menagerie of crashing cymbals. I could go on, but everyone here is a true fan and does it all so much better than I. Have a wonderful week everybody.

peterdarinklein Thank you Peter! Means a great deal 🙏
