Carl Palmer - Incredible Drum Solo

[@kirkdalton3195]

Indeed, Carl Palmer is among the best drummers of all time.

[@disgruntledtoons]

What really makes this great is the sheer amount of fun that Carl is having here.

[@saccola8780]

I just saw Carl and his "new" band ELP Legacy (Paul & Simon) play in March 2018 and OMGosh! He STILL drums with incredible energy & passion and he had just turned 68 the week before! He plays with the energy of a man half his age!!! And he smiles often while playing!! Totally phenomenal!! I was literally 5 feet away from him & have never enjoyed a concert as much as I did his!

[@garycover1313]

Yes, fun for music and an outlet for today's society, from an old jammer, 65 years old!😅😊

[@rtanidean4931]

Met him personally in 1988. He asked my about my recording project for Riley childrens hospital in Indy and then asked if he could sign my poster. Of course he did and it still hangs on my studio wall. I’m humbled. I was just looking into Paiste pies at the time. At The Drum Center in Indy we met and He hand picked my Paiste 3000 ride and 14” Paiste color sound hats. Still my 3 fav pies ever- certainly best ride I’ve ever owned. He is kind and surgical precision in his drumming. TY carl. Drum on.

If he sat in front of more drums than the 6 he had ( ie the kit next to him is a full kit ).I judge some one on a full kit not a few drums.

[@flyboy10102]

everything has to be a competition. Carl Palmer, Neil Peart, Mike Portnoy, Ginger Baker, Gene Krupa, definitely Buddy Rich. They each have their fans who think no one could possibly be as good as their personal favorite. Personally, I don't care about that. They are ALL INCREDIBLE, I just enjoy watching and listening to all of them. In this solo, Carl Palmer is incredible!! As has been said, he is not a young man here, but he still amazes!! Just enjoy the brilliance of ALL of them!!

[@flyboy10102]

flyboy10102 there are drummers from another era, long past, that young fans have never heard of, that are amazing, and i have seen videos of kids as young as 5 that boggle the mind. In some ways, who cares who is better, Ed Shaunnessy or Ian Paice. Just enjoy the brilliance of all of them....

[@bedlam6666]

flyboy10102 I wish to God I had KZbin when I was a kid in the 1970s....my life may have been very different. And BTW, in my neighborhood there used to be fistfights over what drummer was better--and these were fights between non-drummers.

[@JaimeKane-j3q]

This is the one and only Drummer that I would like to see join Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson for a “Rush” tour! Carl Palmer is from the old school of Prog Rockers,that I respect very very much! He,in his own right,is the perfect Drummer to step up into Neil Pearts place,not as a replacement,but,a continuation of Rushes Legacy. I know that I’m not the only Rush devote thinking this way! Maybe it had been mentioned,or suggested to Geddy and Alex,God only knows,I sure do hope so. That would be a dream come true for me,and the multitudes of “Rush” devoted fans. I qualify as a devoted Rush fan,saw them on 8 tours,and I saw ELP in 1977. I also got to see Carl Palmer at the Brick by Brick club in San Diego in 2010,I was honored to meet Carl and got his autograph on my ticket stub along with his young new band mates. Carl Palmer kicks ass! He has the energy,the drive,and the skills to step into a band like “Rush!” Please keep in context,not a replacement for Neil Peart,but a continuation of a great legacy that is “Rush!” I hope that all who read my comments,understand this hopeful dream,of my vision,and what possibilities could lay ahead. I keep up the hope,that these “3” legendary musicians will somehow make this this connection. J.Kane San Diego,a “Rush devote,” and “Carl Palmer” fan for Life!

[@chiphammond1623]

As an "old guy" who remembers when ELP was the current and popular music, and I can tell you that Carl has only gotten better with age. He plays cleaner and more precisely than he ever has. He's the exemplar of "keep learning." Back then, no one did stick-tricks like that: They came via marching snare drum. And a lot of guys CP's age would say, "I don't do that" - but Carl learned to! Fantastic!

[@brianpiehl7636]

You're right. I noticed that too.

[@bassplayermarty6032]

[@seekingwisdom8]

Exactly! I’ve been playing 54 years and never wasted a second on stick tricks, preferring to remind people I’m a serious musician and use my time to focus on my rudiments. I saw Asia in the early 80s and don’t recall him doing that with his sticks. A drum solo is supposed to impress and entertain, and he certainly accomplished that. Great drummer.

[@jscheidt3]

For those of you wondering why you are seeing Steve Howe (not to mention John Wetton and Geoff Downes) in this video, it's because this is ASIA. On their US tours in 2008 and 2009, they played one gem each from their old bands' catalogs. For this year's (2014) fall tour they have enough material from their original and recent albums that I expect an all ASIA playlist. Carl will still stun with his solo, of course!

[@johnhymanful]

Carl doesn't age, and his accuracy and speed are incredibly articulate.

[@magikoflove]

Based on that performance I would say Carl is no more than a shadow of the drummer he was back in 1970. Say what you want but what I just stated is FACT ! Perhaps he plays better when he plays with real musicians instead of a pack of WANNABE's. Those cat's SUCK !
