That was amazing. Thank KZbin algorithm. The poly rhythms. The triplets. The dynamics. The ghost notes. The touch. The musicality. And lastly the bassist holding down the “rolling stone” groove perfectly. I could watch this on a loop.

[@jonathankramer200]

People need to know that Billy Kilson is playing at an in unfathomable level. No joke he is a musical genius.

[@scotty6124]

Damn straight.

[@JavierMartinez-rz4vc]

Yep,. I prefer him over Nate in Dave Holland Quintet (and Nate is a beast)

[@cherylsmith4394]

i've seen him in concert twice with Chris Botti and still cannot get enough of this fantastic artistry!

[@allfunkedupexperience]

Billy kilson grew up in southern maryland. Its always good to see a fellow area drummer do well.

[@Ben_Jammin_]

Tasteful and still showing off!. That combination is rare...

[@careymatthews4353]

I saw Billy touring years ago with Chris Botti and witnessed the most amazingly melodic, and masterful drumming performance I’ve ever experienced (and I’ve seen many of the greats). Kilson was as fun, funny and entertaining to simply watch as he was to hear play. What an incredible gift! If he comes to your town, move heaven and earth to be there!

[@tuknchuk]

Agreed, Jonathan... this solo alone is some of the finest drumming on so many levels. Billy Kilson is one of the greatest drummers and musicians... EVER !!! His feel, his choices, musical maturity, attitude... he serves the song and only shows off a bit when it’s exactly what’s called for... but not from his ego... like almost all other drummers out there. He’s just a master on a deep, deep level. All Hail, Billy Kilson !!!

[@foodbackstories]

I think all the legendary drummers have a different feel and virtuosity. Billy Kilson is awesome, moves in rhythm with his instrument and therefore plays on a different level. Art Blakey still remains my no. 1 drummer - when it came to speed and timing Blakey was another level. Steve Gadd is all class and precision. Dave Weckl all metronomic timing. Billy Cobham all swagger with little effort. Drumming has to come from the natural rhythm within - what set aparts the top drummers from the rest.

[@musopaul5407]

Beautiful playing in every way. One of the greats!

[@JerryNordstrom]

WOW! Don't you just love to watch mastery of the kit!?

[@SidLaw500]

One of the rare drummers who can derive music essence from his showmanship.

Bass line of Papa was a rolling stone, from Lee Ritenour version very nice!

[@willieb6993]

Now that’s playing with feel!

[@marceibel1131]

[@martinel2450]

[@edisonluisbonini7472]

Isto nao é tocar......isto é sentir a musica com a alma,parece que ele esta em transe,em outra dimensao

[@championincharge]

[@michael931]

Match grip. Nice.

[@claytonsantos5962]

Meu professor , aprendo muito contigo

[@mauriciovercesi5476]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@Nevernow721]

Where is 1?

[@relearn1]

Drummer or musician?

[@ifgwelf]

Now that's how you do a drum solo fr

[@dandad1226]

The gum is the secret to his godly nature. He's always chewing the gum.

[@eejim7750]

It must be so hard to vamp with him lmao

[@hugoiriarte9915]

War ... derfull 😚

[@Baribrotzer]

Damn, but you've got to have your own rhythmic sh!t together to play with a guy like that. He never loses the beat - but he'll syncopate off to Pluto, and if you don't know where "1" is, you'll never find it by listening to him.

[@jiyujizai]

🌱🙄💙🌾

[@crashnreset6987]

I can click my fingers ;p

[@sticktrik]

I like the dynamics and musical ideas,but!! When he does the metric modulation excerpt the meter is tentative!!!sorry!!!!

[@anthonyalfieri8271]

He definitely chooses the road less travelled. He rides up front with the rest of the trail blazers.

[@TheMICMusicInspirationChannel]

This doesn't sound like the *Foreigner* song.

[@reh331]

Man, I love his playing. So much better with my eyes closed. I know it's just me, but his 'showmanship' is annoying as hell. Very kitschy and stereotypical. But most definitely a monster player.

[@nunnayuhbitness6708]

He messed up a couple of times, but he was still good.

[@policeluber6720]

Kenny smith ? Lmao 🤣

[@HarryJoiner]

2 min of head-scratching, go-figure insanity 🤔

[@MrFchank]

He's ok

[@italianalaskan351]

so nasty!

[@MELONenSURPRISE]

Its because of his chewing on a bubble gum these gummy fills ...try it

[@stoyanfurdzhev]

The big nothing than driss.

[@carpediem4179]

Its all a out musical expresion
