Bill Stewart Drum Solo Pizza Express 15:7:19

[@papapoodo6685]

Bill is simply one of the best ever....Completely unique...Truly inspirational

[@MrAlasoft]

There are drummers .. many drummers .. different levels and skills .. then there is Bill Stewart

[@blondeguyy4944]

And then buddy joe moreel I Tony Williams gene Krupa

[@blondeguyy4944]

Yes them too I could go on forever

[@raymondkarlsson9794]

Wow! Another testament to the fact that Bill still lifts jazz drumming to new levels. I mean, this is an unbelievable balance act between mind and body (ideas and tools)!!!

[@Ihitthings3]

I got to study with Bill when he was fresh out of Paterson back in ‘89-90(?) and he’d come up to UCONN to teach jazz drums. He’d bring that snare, or a cymbal or his bass drum (but not all 3 at once) and we’d trade 4’s and 8’s as part of the lesson, and he’d stress musicality over chops. I was basically a jazz beginner but he challenged me in that year to expand my ears and phrasing.

[@JoshGarsideMeyers]

Woah, can we just take a moment to appreciate how fucking good that bass drum sounds? That is a true bebop bass drum sound.

[@richiegarcia4]

Agreed. Those Canopus kits are all over town. I saw Kenny Washington playing the same one (Yaiba) at the Village Vanguard. Great drums!

[@richiegarcia4]

@Jaiden Hector That's creepy. It sounds like it would be healthier just to get out of that relationship.

[@drumrnva]

To each their own, right? Throughout the clip I was kind of distracted by how awful I thought the bass drum sounds. Great drummer though, obviously.

[@sticktrik]

Great player! instantly identifiable when he plays!!! very original style!!!!

[@robsherfey4582]

Doesn't matter what kit he's playing; it always sounds perfect. Nice and open and melodic across all drums.

[@dogmart]

Great playing!! And that Canopus Yaiba kit sounds just as good as Bill's Gretsch drums.

[@mobass48]

I love this Trio..!

[@nygaardstudios]

Thanks for uploading, I simply cannot get enough of his playing...!

[@ryancox5097]

Such a trip to hear that tasty comping on the snare coming from matched grip.

[@postatility9703]

Without excessive bombast,Bill's playing is always heroic.

[@HarryJoiner]

WHY DOESN’T BILL STEWART HAVE A PATREON? I’M SURE A BUNCH OF HIS FANS WOULD PAY SERIOUS MONEY FOR THAT. BILL: IF YOU’RE READING THIS, PLEASE HELP US OUT!

[@egw3542]

Wow, that was really a pleasure to watch. Absolutely nasty! That made my day. Thanks for uploading this!

[@theavenger3363]

Incredible

[@carloscappellini1687]

The most musical and underrated drummer ever.

[@jumpinjojo]

He's rated exactly where he belongs.

[@intuneorange]

These 3 still sound the best together .

what a snare tone!!!!

[@jeffreybusch9619]

Awesome Bill!

[@felixrousseau2801]

Thanks for uploading this. Cheers.

[@Gk2003m]

All are awesome. Man can Larry Goldings play! I see him as outside the Jimmy Smith thing - more akin to Dr.Lonnie Smith, to Jeff Palmer in that all three of them bring/brought a unique vision to the Hammond.

[@longfade]

Cool, still has that killer bronze Ludwig snare that he's had forever!

[@mikefields4136]

Part of his sound...love it

[@felixrousseau2801]

I just noticed he takes his left foot away from the HiHat pedal often when soloing. Interesting. Sounds amazing.

[@sticktrik]

Félix Rousseau Yes! I noticed that too!!...I think he does it so he can use it as a instantaneous voice! Also, to get away from the 2 & 4 timekeeping!!!

[@Ihitthings3]

That’s part of his musicality and phrasing ability. It’s another texture. Gives it some space and breaks it up a bit.

[@PaoloZucchetti]

Ludwig Hammered Brass Supraphonic Snare 5x14 + Bill Stewart = THE DRUM SOUND

[@sunflowerguy5314]

14x6.5 i think

[@joelbarforddrums]

This is my Ludwig brass 14X6.5 - Bill likes to use it on his gigs over here in the U.K.

[@tonymcroger7447]

@@joelbarforddrums Is that your Yaiba kit as well?

[@joelbarforddrums]

@@tonymcroger7447 No, this is the house Canopus Yaiba kit at Pizza Express Soho London. Just my snare 🙂

[@whocantexplain]

I rarely see jazz drummers use match grip, seeing this helps me not feel like such an idiot when I do it!

[@aidanschram9652]

Many of them do nowadays. Bill Stewart, Joe Dyson, Justin Brown, Ofri Nehemya, Ron Bruner Jr, Marcus Gilmore

[@carloslopez9625]

To think that he plays not wanting to impress allways is admirable.

I like these guys for the same reason I like the Dave Brubeck Quartet: the players are tasteful and musical over showing off.
