"Thumbs up with a smile"

[@paulysci925]

José Sachs lol

[@bonhzeppelin9882]

+Jose' Sachs Far better than like, like, like...

[@antalex_II]

Chris Coleman on antibiotics is still better than most of us drummers at 100%.

[@carloshall7587]

Everytime I watch a vid of him...Makes me humble and more ambitious to practice harder...Glory be to God

[@HVYBOY]

I truly do not think these students understand how fortunate they were to not only be in the presence of a legend but to INTERACT WITH HIM?!?! Get out of here this is nuts!! God I would've paid great money to be there I had tons of questions popping up in my head and who better than one of my long time idols Chris Coleman.

[@aaroozz]

I think they understand and are appreciative.

[@SunnyHF-nf4bc]

@LongBoiii Why does everyone comment this on clinic videos? I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t have attended if they didn’t realize the value in attending.

[@Alex-Grt]

I was at his clinic in Kiel a couple of days ago and it was one of the best things i‘ve ever done 😍😎

[@Mason_J]

@hvyboy you must be an idol worshiper, chris is just anothrr human bring who is able to play an instrument better then others

[@kingj6753]

CHRIS: I apologize I have a slight sinus infection...*proceeds to assassinate the sonar drumkit w/ Evans heads & Meinl cymbals*

[@andreimatheus9306]

Kind late reply, but yeah! It's Sonor*

[@jonathanziegler5695]

I disliked this video because it made me cry for 2 hours

[@anyikadurante6640]

[@metrans.indonesia]

[@Rhythmwatch]

😂😂😂😂

[@cj_ssfsm]

Those 108 people 🙄

[@DaveMajor]

I went on a masterclass last year and the counting thing was drilled into me. I cannot stress how much of a difference it has made. I've counted everything for a year and like chris says its made the world of difference.

[@jamesarmfield3600]

What time in the video is this?

[@DaveMajor]

The counting part? Like ALL the video Most answers to the questions are count! Count! Count!

[@eelistuominen6701]

The answer to every question is slurpeeeh!

[@steamsteam6607]

How do you count triplets over quarter notes?

[@DaveMajor]

@steam steam 1 Trip Let 2 Trip Let The 1,2,3 and 4 is the quarter note

[@BasicInfo7715]

I can do that with my eyes closed.... In my dreams

[@Shauncat1]

I love this bro, humble and inspiring , first saw him play on Israel houghton dvd a good few years ago. Would be great if he came to South Africa and encouraged us drummers here. Much respect Chris

[@MikeBerbano]

Chris always gives such amazing performances. This clinic should called called "Life..." Mr Coleman gives some pretty deep Life teachings beyond drumming/music via sharing his personal ups/downs. Thank you Chris for putting so much "Life" into your music and sharing this gift to the world!

[@jonasdamion1627]

music is like life is some way, by getting better at music you are understanding proper living more

[@SinaNajaflou]

Love you man! You are an amazing drummer/teacher/human being :D

[@caseyadamsdrums]

43:00 This clip has kept me alive. More than once. Thank you @chriscoleman

[@DidYouReadEULA]

42:55 and the next few minutes are worth a listen for anyone down and out.

[@adityatyagi4009]

One of the best drummers alive!

[@Meinstantics]

The best.

[@NYCGERSON777]

+Brian Lammas (BrIT) Eric Moore is right up there with him.

[@NYCGERSON777]

+marcus gunter I like Vinnie Caliuta more than i like Dave Weckl....Horacio "El negro" Hernandez would out-solo Dave Weckl....

[@drummer5799]

Weckl's solos blow away Vinnies. Vinnies solos are sloppy and boring....great studio musician though '

[@RogerBiwandu]

Really ? :o Dam...

[@Meinstantics]

Wish the mix was better.

[@songueroproductionsllc5963]

I know, it's the only thing that's making me want to find something else.

[@CHABIEPORTNOY]

This sound makes me feel closer to reality, so it’s ok for me

[@2468DDT]

Chris your story is so encouraging to me sir. Thank you for this clinic

[@marcdedouvan]

Stop kidding, I recognized you C-Ron Maiden! Or is it you C-Mac 10? Shit, I've dropped my stick now! Good master class anyway!

[@audiophile55]

I truly believe that Chris Coleman is the man who has filled the shoes of Buddy Rich (God rest Mr. Rich's soul". No disrespect intended for Buddy, for he is one of my drum mentors, along with Mr. Carl Palmer. I have been watching Chris for a number of years here on KZbin, and out of all drummers out there that I have seen here on YT, Chris tops them all. He proves that drummers don't need double bass. He does with his right foot what some drummers can only do with double bass. And as you can see, Chris uses the high hats in a way that I have never seen anyone else play them with the pedal. Chris Coleman : Non pareil !

[@nathanredmon96]

Counting out loud changed everything for me. The ability to play through muscle memory and not consciously think about what you're doing is huge.

[@rodneymercer7155]

Thank you for this Chris. Your wisdom surpasses your drumming, and that is amazing, and will take you and your drumming to another level, a level I look forward to viewing!

[@SteveStockmalMusic]

For the question at 1:23:44 ... I had a gig once that was 7 nights a week for 7 months. One night I randomly tried to do some pull-ups and found that I could comfortably do 5. So I decided to do 5 a day, and add 1 each week. I got up to 17 !!! BUT what I found was, some days I could literally bang out all of them with very little effort, and other days it was a struggle even after the second, although I could still do all of them. So to his question, if discovered that the body isn’t a machine, it ebbs and flows. IF he could have a different “measure” and see at what speed his relaxation changed ...from my particular experience that would be a better/ more realistic indicator Hope that made sense 🎶

[@iTip28]

Chris makes concepts very easy to understand

[@ephraimmckenzie]

8 people came to get medical advice for a rash....... #clinic

He reminds me of my old band director. A big teddy bear with so much passion for music you can see it in his smile. This was so awesome to watch. MI please continue to post these.

[@BRoweofKY]

Such a humble dude... Makes me like him that much more!

[@rodney3076]

Thank you for this Drum Program and Chris Coleman. Your wisdom is astounding, the way you speak about your passion is so congruent and authentic, you seem to have mastered yourself and have placed that knowledge into your passion, one of which is drumming! I'm inspired.

[@LainIwakuraa]

Chris is a true great. Incredibly gifted and one of the realest teachers ever!

[@jabulaniharvey]

Chris Coleman the excuse-enator

[@as_v8]

I really wish the drums were mixed in the beginning. I couldn't enjoy it as much as I know I would've

[@ebeparco9268]

thank you sir CHRIS COLEMAN...you are AMAZING!!! #inspiration #worldclass #humble #kindheart #GodfearingHUMAN thank you...

[@Drumaier]

The preacher of drumming. Thanks Chris.

[@BrianHarrisDrummer]

A total scary powerhouse freak. Love this guy. Smiles and all. First time I witnessed his insanity was at DRUM DAZE in Columbus OH many years ago (don't remember the exact year he was there). He wasn't the headliner, but he should have been. I believe he was the 2nd of 5 players. From that point, I have been a CC follower. What a fun guy, who gets the audience involved.

[@donnyjohnson3766]

Chris is a machine!!!! 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@normanwilmoth7404]

I've lived in memphis all my life, and I had know idea that you lived here with your grandmother. If I ever knew that I would have looked you up. Thanks for your inspection bud your awesome😎

[@Reeftanknology]

How fun would this guy be to just hang out with??? We all know what a monster drummer he is..........but who knew how cool he is??

[@daved4716]

What the hell is he doing?!?!?!?!? To be clear I say this because his ability is off the chart !!!👏👏👏Also only German engineering can handle his sheer power !!!!

[@ssandman1100]

17:33 Chris with the SONGO groove! Killed it!!

[@lukasbudisantoso9872]

thx a lot for your sharing MR.coleman...that's always inspiring me...

[@dustywilson5461]

Everything else is great but the sound quality fails to convey the true, awesome sound of his performance. :( bummer

[@Baldingchimp]

I've been watching so many drum videos lately and so many drummers have such frighteningly discipline-saturated message. It's a big relief hearing you and being reminded that it's okay to be human. Even just the idea that while drumming you're not always thinking about what you're playing... again it just gives me permission to not be perfect. Thanks.

[@leanderthal-z]

The 5 1 2 3 4 thing was pretty fucking annoying, not the drumming, the voice. The drumming here is out of this world, awesome!

[@schticknic]

Quick polyrhythm reference for folks: Whatever ratio you're talking about (4:3, 3:4, 5:3, 3:5, etc)... think about.... 1) The first number is the "rate". 4:3, the rate would be 4, so 16th notes. 2) Second number is the "grouping".. in 4:3, the grouping is 3. You accent every 3rd note. 3) You play the grouping the number of times indicated by the first number. 4) The number of beats it takes to complete the rhythm is the second number. In 4:3, that's playing the grouping 4 times. In 3 beats. This works for ALL polyrhythms. In 5:3, the RATE is 5. You play 3 beats at the rate of 5. You accent every third note. You play that grouping 5 times and it takes 3 beats to complete. Write it out. That's the math behind the drums.

[@riverfilms4548]

Accent every third note? Don't know what You mean. When I play 4:3, just the first note is on top of each other. Its not like playing 4 x 16th over 3 x 16th. It's playing Triplets over staight 16th. And I can put the accent on each notes on the 16ths and on each of the triplets so can u Explain that point?

[@EDOGG62]

How do 129 people give this a thumb's down? Oh, internet...

[@FernandoCuadro]

The fact that he tells his personal history is amazing, puts him in a very human and down to earth. love this guy!

[@coajrmusic]

A+ Homeboy... Saginaw Mi. in the house...

[@watevz221]

Dude so humble and great drummer 🤙🤙

[@TimWatsonDrums]

His phrasing is genius! What an amazing and inspiring player.

[@drakausdromgatti58]

Okay so tell me if im following this at all. What he is doing int he beginning at about 23min... He is setting up a count with the digital metronome, then with in the count he is using the audience as a 2nd/3rd/4th metronome (creating beats with their clapping within the count). The he goes off switching between them all including doing crazy beats on the E's and A's. Did that make sense? Forgive me, I am self taught.

[@brendonmasters]

I'm self fought and I didn't even get that far!!!

[@JE_Drumming]

Does anyone know what the name of the Track is that he plays at the end?

[@BANPAL-iq7yu]

1:23:50 The reason is the less dopamine problem if you have enough dopamine you get your speed

[@jabulaniharvey]

this was a church moment

Great drummer yes, but what a nice down to earth guy

[@thefarmingnurse]

Fantastic drummer but the audio is not great

Chris is a great instructor- does virtual lessons on MeetHook -encourage you to check him out.. Well WORTH it!

[@powslayer5632]

Incredible drummer. Better than Dennis Chambers I think. Wish the sound quality was better but that happens. Watch him on drumeo incredible sound production. And true to the sonor drums which are the best sounding drums on the planet, his set sounds incredible.

[@torondowatson571]

Got his DVD and it is great

Has anyone noticed that Chris always wears a black T-Shirt in all his videos? Ps: Chris is a drumming zen monk (and that’s not in reference to the lack of hair on his head). Phenomenal drummer 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Chris Coleman loves trolling people with computerized girl counting voice. So hilarious but also so helpful at the same time.

[@shemardavis8735]

[@randomguestobserving6071]

I wonder that he, on top of all of his magic, doesn't play open handed....like Phillips does...

[@petergrimmer6222]

Hilarious at 5:52 ...Coleman!! Love this guy!

[@RodrigoRaez]

Truly inspiring. Thank you Chris Coleman.
