Bernard Purdie & Roy Bennett || Live in Russia || V1 Battle 03.07.2016

Legendary drummer Bernard Purdie visited Hip Hop Festival in Russia, Saint-Petersburg

[@lukewalters4716]

Legend has it that his left hand ghost notes still haunt that auditorium. Friggin what a legendary giant of a drummer. Thank you Mr. Purdie.

[@ericcenteno342]

These kids have no freakin' idea how blessed they are to have Pretty Purdie in the same zipcode much less to be basking in his presence!!

[@oSoap_]

I met him when i was 3 and there was also Damien Schmidt im so sad that i didn't realize the luck that i had

[@hemnair75]

There is just something natural and even comforting in a big man playing bass. So awesome to see two masters of their craft just having fun.

[@dudersmart]

daamn Purdie is a sick drummer. A pleasure to watch

[@joe22589]

Although Purdie is not far from his 80s, he still is the nonplusultra when it comes to groove, style and effective drumming. Every opened high-hat is more worthy than these double-bass-drum-weirdos. Purdie has class and taste. Go! Bernard!!

[@charp4662]

joe22589 All Purdie's has class and taste. Its always awesome to see family doing their thing.

[@funklover24]

joe22589 So true, bro. Just thaught the same. Bernard lets it breathe and groove.

[@auto_5]

funklover24 - let’s it breath? I like that(and I know what u mean by it)!

[@sosmooth7]

The best funky pocket drummer there has ever been. There probably not a drummer who has taken from Bernard Purdie. Really what funk and syncopation is all about.

[@Greg-mf4wm]

You 2 saved my night 😅 love 💞 you 2 jammin the coolest funk ✌️💞😆😎🎸

[@skychoyce9854]

The white guy at 6:51 started feeling it...lol

[@EmoDKTsuchiya]

lool

[@skychoyce9854]

Ya think!! halvierd 😒

[@mikefay4323]

Black guys help the white guys. Lol kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWjWf6OOf5uWn5I

[@maxisatube]

Hey nothing wrong with jamming to the music lol. This is good shit

[@ck9584]

I'd not be in a seat. You'd see me on the outskirts getting my groove on. Then I dash in the circle get funky and the exit quickly as I worry I draw attention

[@REDD_BLITZ]

'Pretty' Burdie is an all around music treasure. The man's the real deal!!!

[@alvarocordova3664]

Drum artistry : groove, musicality , feel, time, syncopation , pocket Bernard Purdie has it all ! Real good bass player.

[@joonasvareenmusiikki]

Beats so tasty I'm getting fat listening

[@dragonofelbereth]

His consistency with rim shots is amazing--look at how destroyed his stick is halfway down

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

I have watched him.from 5 feet away and I never liked the way he destroys sticks. He puts his China upside down, ruining sticks for no reason. If you use stuff right, it's rare to ruin anything. I've seen idiots break the hinge on pedals. And these were DW. Why? What does it prove? It doesn't make it sound any better, either. Doesn't make you a better player.

[@auto_5]

Winds of March Journey/Perry tribute band - I hear you on his performance, but sticks definitely do get worn out regularly, and sometimes even quickly. It all depends on what kind of music, what kind of drum/cymbal hit, how often, and the intensity(velocity?) of the hits.

[@stillyes8171]

Absolute class act. So talented. Brilliant.

[@nero1674]

The way all of ‘em vibe to that jam! I love it!

[@jimmermonserate7430]

So tight grooves! Woow!

[@Don-mw8rb]

This video shows why I hate the current culture. Everybody tries to be cool and for what!! It’s ok to express yourself outwardly and nod your head or shake your body. This performance was groovy

[@stone9.098]

Purdy's groove at 8:23 is so sweet!

[@tylerworley2022]

Just awesome thanks for the lesson fellas.

[@TheDoctor1492]

This audience does not understand the gravitas of the event they were at.

[@funklover24]

I would give a lot being there and watchin the masters jamming. Saw Bernard once in a clinic and he was awesome. Demonstrating the Purdie-shuffle on the highest level and bringing the most important in music: Good vibes.

[@loslobos9461]

They probably don’t know what gravitas means!

[@ronbradshaw7404]

And some texting and playing with their phones...

[@teteskone41]

Well, given the two masses involved, the gravitational field should be intense enough.

[@felixdmello1]

Felt the groove 👌😊

[@funklover24]

Damn, these guys are so phonky! :D Steely Dan, James and Aretha knew, why they wanted Bernard. :)

[@Greg-mf4wm]

You 2 are the bomb 💣

[@ua7pyro591]

Look at his left hand, stick is reversed for that "pop" snare. Never see anyone in 2019 playing like this. A true legend of his trade.

[@hugolafhugolaf]

Nicko McBrain does it.

[@zombiefeenix7013]

That’s some nice drummin’.

[@jayspears7245]

You all are so lucky!

[@RodrigoRaez]

Very nice!

[@wilsonocasio8884]

El señor Bernardos!!!! Maybe machines are making most of the music today but watching real talent live is better than a guy with a laptop!!!

[@andys3035]

Legendary drummer

[@urh0]

You dont need gear for a groove as tight as... I don't even know what. Look at all the kids with their finest K constantinoples etc.. Purdie's groovin with B8:s

[@juwweeee]

Proof drumming is about whats under the hood. Purdie is THE drummer when it comes to recording playing on a beginner kit.

[@scowlistic]

Funktacular!

[@lakadayzikal]

This is what making the drum sing looks like 👍

[@orbita1]

So many of those kids are annoyed they had to go to this.

[@allansmith5894]

Say... U watchers.. u aware of his TIMING!!! ??? Like a damn atomic clock!

[@johnsmith-hq8no]

Yeah ! Seriously ! Lol woah , their big love . Greatful for them

[@anthonywright3443]

I don't what you guys are listening on, but this mix is way ok. I hear all of the drums!!!!

[@ajwasp]

This is the sexiest sounds and grooves in the whole world. Music for foreplay and ... all the rest. :-) xxx.

[@user-jr2sh3ng7q]

Супер играете, молодцы

[@tpowell009]

Those two girls at 11:30 are definitely feeling the grove.

[@ahahaahha5376]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@user-sq3nt3ps6q]

Some random youtube drummer making a shitty cover: Zildjian K Constantinople everywhere Pretty Purdie jamming with Roy Bennett: Sabian B8 not even B8 pro HA!

[@420protoman]

those ain't b8 hi hats tho, some lower end cymbals are good for crashes, depends what sound u want.

[@mattgoff2722]

backline, fool.

[@uome20bukz]

There are a lot of awesome drummers on youtube. Why sound like a moron and judge based on the equipment they prefer to use?

[@LeakyJAZZ]

I don't think that's his kit.

[@keefriff99]

This is SO fucking cool.

[@stevenwestergard2654]

Only the best

[@jeffcrocker1078]

How purdie can still sound great even though the school of rock bass player isn't playing with him

[@fredsanke8710]

Them Changes... Buddy Miles....

[@ahahaahha5376]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@subaisrealsh1t_2021]

❤❤🇨🇴

[@alexejpaulus4177]

Красавцы гагагага ваще слов нет 🤣🤘👍👍👍

[@Croby_Roberto]

he makes those b8s sound great. ITS NOT THE GEAR ITS THE PLAYER

[@dagconst1]

Damn

[@oleedee9274]

wish this was in sync omg.

[@biohazardcel]

the bass line at the beginning was from Billy from Jimi Hendrix and the band of gypsy at Filmore east on new years???

[@anta40]

Nope. The bass line was taken from Buddy Miles' Them Change. Jaco also took that part while covering Hendrix's Third Stone from the Sun.

[@11219tt]

Who ever mixed this... you took all the life out of the drums.

[@andyj4598]

over compressed and overequalized

[@GeeNee25]

What a shame. Those kids are getting free what I would've paid for. And the worst is they don't enjoy it...

[@yobigbrotheronline]

Drummers are my eyes playing tricks on me ? It looks like Purdie is using B8's !?!

[@fitletsgame3862]

The bass player is jack blacks groovy brother

[@artemkhaleev9108]

what is the name of the melody in the beginning?

[@Baribrotzer]

"Them Changes," by Buddy Miles.

[@don.cotton2678]

Who is that bass player? Digging his vibe.

[@mikehunt4023]

Roy bennet

[@DarthCiliatus]

He makes that jazz bass look like a toy.

[@ejfredaable]

Did you feel that?

[@handidrummed]

The audio is a shame. The bass is too loud and all you can hear from Purdie is the snare and kick. His cymbals are practically silent.

[@kevinschulze5258]

12:42 how you just gonna do him like that

[@paulbentley2709]

He was having a fit

[@user-dp9fb7fu4p]

Вот это дедуля

[@jbrewerbass]

What is that melody from?

[@spoonman01]

Them Changes Buddy Miles

[@toufu111]

かっけー

[@belzebongnight9521]

What's the first bass riff please??

[@pepijnvandeweg981]

Buddy Miles Them change

[@michaelabernathy1581]

purdie obviously a beast, but not enough love for bass player, guy is rippin

[@HakanARIK]

ppl dont feel the music and complain about ppl who dont feel the music on the video

[@paulotomaz1679]

Why arent these people dancing like crazy? This crowd is so weird...

[@jeremywassell4247]

nice but why is the crowd so out of time this is so nice get down people

[@GillywillyMr]

rack toms reversed ?

[@rick3747]

My fav drummers are groovemasters... Purdie, Bonham and Porcaro. BTW....Gadd is just not my thing regardless how good he is.

[@hermanmelville3871]

Steve Gadd out here catching strays.

[@TheZguitarboy67]

THEYRE NOT EVEN CLAPPING ON RHYTHM OMG WTH PEOPLE

[@digdoug9352]

That's the hit maker for you. Look at how he even got this group of disinterested uncomfortable youths to give off some life.

[@zhenwenwei]

买鞋请走正规渠道。

[@gravitydrums1391]

So bernard told me he was the one who played on most of the beatles stuff... Was he Lying?... lol

[@maxisatube]

14:43 that’s a kick from a snarky puppy song, is it not?

[@shapshooter7769]

Nope, it's the other way around

[@zootsootful]

Is it just me, or is the audience's clapping off beat?

[@adam1910]

Man this crowd...And also who gathered this kit up for Purdie? Putting him on B8s! The gear does not make the musician and he makes anything sounds good but had to throw that out there.

[@biggdogg19]

These kids don’t have a clue…they ain’t feeling the funk!

[@ChromaticHarp]

That’s not the sex machine bass line.

[@Jakeman90210]

Whats going on with this mix and why does it suck

[@thomasnichol4138]

Get the funk outta here.

[@orenico96]

Looks like a summer camp for some rich kids! Not sure most of them get how funky this is! James Brown, Buddy Miles, King Curtis, etc.

[@hugolafhugolaf]

Sound is out of sync, this sucks.

[@THE-zv7vj]

my fellow white people PLEASE get some rythm Im embarrased as you all clap off beat .. Just stop C'mon MAN!!!!!

[@jmartin67]

Even as a bass player, I'd have enjoyed this so much more if it was just Purdie all by himself. The bass mix is obnoxious. And the audience is in a coma.

[@ahahaahha5376]

💕💕💕💕💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
