Drum Teacher Reaction: ANTONIO SANCHEZ | Pat Metheny Group 'The Gathering Sky Part 2' | JAZZ

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

if I remember correctly this was taken from the "Pat Metheny Group - Speaking Of Now" DVD. Amazing concert!

[@infinite7501]

I got to see this same drum solo in Houston during the same tour. It was mesmerizing seeing this live! The sound quality of a Pat Metheny concert made it even better. This guy is on another level IMO. Short list of my favorite drum influences.

[@phildupuis1084]

One of the greatest solos I've ever heard. I would loved to have been at that concert.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yes Phil! Really beautiful music here man

[@warren_r]

Andrew, if you don't know Pat Metheny too well..... next time you go for a walk, grab a good set of headphones and fire up the album The Way Up from 2005. Antonio is on this album. The ride work is absolutely stunning, but the real joy is Pat's guitar work along with the piano player Lyle Mays. That album is probably not too suitable for the channel due to it being more or less a single album-long piece, but it's not an overstatement to say that Methany is life-changing for any musician that gets into his stuff. This album is as good a place as any to start. (It won a Grammy for best Jazz album, too, so it's not like I'm just fanboying over something obscure : ) )

[@patrickbrennan2864]

The Way Up.......wow - no words. I REALLY LIKE “A Night Away” from his collaboration with Brad Mehldau - the ENERGY in that piece

[@BradBailey-dz1nu]

This version of PMG - with Bona and Vu - was one of the most interesting and exciting.

[@jakeloranger1419]

Amazing stuff. To keep the left foot clave going while playing all these different subdivisions with the other limbs at different dynamics. It just blows my mind. I seem to recall that Antonio wrote the whole soundtrack for "Birdman." He talked about it in an interview in either Modern Drummer of Jonathan Mover's magazine (sorry the name of the magazine escapes me right now).

[@patrickbrennan2864]

Thanks Andrew ! Had the great good fortune to see this live. Pat Metheny plays a cover of “Ferry Cross the Mersey” that brings tears. “Last Train Home” and “A Night Away” are masterpieces I’ve heard he was admitted to Berklee at 18, and on the faculty at 19.....I don’t doubt it. He played solo at the Shaolin Liu theater on Cape Ann, 2019, just down the street from us. I went flying down the stairs to the men’s room after the show and almost knocked him over. He just laughed. Drummer ain’t bad either !!! Listen with your eyes closed

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thanks so much for the pick. Really beautiful music

[@patrickbrennan2864]

How often he switches from matched to traditional- why ? At the start, the smoothness with which his left hand goes from snare clicks to hi-Tom is beautiful to watch. That hand is so relaxed. Then the push-pull of very open block sounds, to a wall of thunder, and back….it’s beautifully written

[@gabebabe1]

He’s a freak - amazing hands, so crazy keeping that clave going with his left foot, incredible independence, such clean detail. One of the greatest ever. So musical too and makes great sounds - the subtlety of the hits. Love this dude.

[@sseltrek1a2b]

in my top five favorite drummers of all time...Antonio is ridiculous...this tour was amazing...

[@jazzfusioner9840]

Yes what a tour.. saw it in Brighton UK and Lisbon Portugal...Antonio's joining the Group...a game changer...

[@patrickbrennan2864]

“What they were trying to achieve indeed”….well said - one answer is, emotion in the listener They certainly succeed with me !!!! That tune always lifts spirits

[@user-nc6qh1my5b]

pure music

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

💯Ruslan!

[@robgas7507]

Insanely talented individual, this channel is overflowing with brilliant musicians

[@Iamadrummer]

Incredible musical phrasing in his solo. When the band kicked in the music was captivating and the drumming fit perfectly with it not being over played and was very complimentary. I would love to see the whole concert.

[@stephanevilleneuve9450]

Your channel is a very good way for discovering great drummers from all over the world. Long live to your channel.

[@markclifford8764]

Andrew, I love watching YOU watch these videos! I get joy and enjoyment seeing your mind blown reactions! Stay being awed my friend! It rocks to be able to see such variety of world class musicians!!!!

[@tumelotumelo5636]

Richard Bona soothing with the vocals there

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Unreal!

[@kyrrefredriksen7015]

Wow. You brought in PMG to the channel. Respect! Have not seen it yet but cant wait to hear your reaction on my fav musician and fav drummer.

[@robgas7507]

Also Chris Turner and Thomas Lang have a new video out. It’s freaking insane!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thanks Rob!

[@jaysonst9562]

Man I'm so glad someone is recommending this. Just watched it and... Wow.

[@leonthalion]

Have you seen the video that was recently released of Chris Turner and Thomas Lang playing “triggered”? The video is titled “Chris Turner - Triggered (ft Thomas Lang)”. It’s an absolute masterpiece!

[@grou67]

Damn ! Hell of a pick ! Thank you Andrew. I remember him from a Modern Drummer festival DVD from the early 2000s. I used to watch that on repeat, alongside Pat Metheny albums... such a distinctive sound. All the best

[@wxmaggot5669]

Felt like I was holding my breath the whole time I was watching that. I'm exhausted and haven't done a damn thing other than watch these amazing musicians haha!

[@jfs70ss]

Pat Metheny is an Musician on a WHOLE OTHER LEVEL. Lyle Mays, his pianist is Incredible to say the least. Two of my Favorite Musicians of ALL TIME beside Antonio of Course. You owe it to yourself to watch this Live Concert. Simply Extraordinary and Other Wordly. This and "The Way UP Live" are a MUST for ANY SERIOUS Musician....... Peace

[@jazzfusioner9840]

Hi Jesse, all you say I totally agree. I have followed Pat and Lyle since their beginning. My favorite Band. I'd also suggest Pat's 'Secret Story' to add to your must see video...the entire concert. Saw that tour live in Zurich and was totally brought to another universe. The Way Up I saw 3x and the London gig Pat and Lyle were on fire...band too...mind blowing 3 hours of the highest level of compositions and musicianship and sound quality..

[@cosmozoom3737]

Great Antonio!

[@EsDeib]

Very glad to have seen Antonio play a bunch of times. Even once with Pat! Met him a couple times, too. I most recently saw him play alongside the entire Birdman movie. Lucky, as a Mexican drums guy, I get my fair share of chances to enjoy his playing directly.

[@EsDeib]

Also, RIP Lyle Mays. Absolute legend.

[@patrickbrennan2864]

Wow David you lucky man ......

[@EsDeib]

@@patrickbrennan2864 I don’t take it for granted. He’s the best, and he really loves his hometown and its fans. As awesome a human as he is a musician.

[@garygraham2513]

One of the best guitarists and an awesome drummer. I really liked this one. Metheny picking the lead,but the other guitarist doing the scattin. Epic. I just love Metheny! Distinctive sound and style. One of my favorite Pickers. I first heard him, like 20 years ago... been a fan since. Even though I'm a chopper, I have a thing for great Pickers. My top 5 list is Really crowded. There's probably 30 players in there.

[@gundolarry]

Drew, it was a solo towards the end of the song :) Now you will want to explore more Pat Metheny + Antonio + Lyle Mays (R.I.P.). That was Richard Bona with the Scat-Singing. I believe he has passed as well. Brilliant stuff. More than Jazz

[@ResilientOne2112]

awesome, thank you Andy!

[@krenwregget7667]

I'm surprised that you haven't heard left foot clave before, Horacio Hernandez has been doing that since the mid 90s and even guys like Thomas Lang do it now.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I have heard it before! Still love it though 😍

[@jakeloranger1419]

I've seen Horacio on video doing left foot clave and also playing a samba pattern with his feet, with his left foot going side to side on the hi-hat and the gajate pedal, while soloing on top with his hands. These guys are otherworldly. Just amazing. And, not to take anything away from Antonio Sanchez, Horacio would do all that with a big smile on his face like he was having the time of his life. Players like these guys make me feel like I know nothing at all about music. I can only listen in awe.

[@krenwregget7667]

@@jakeloranger1419 I saw Horacio in clinic way back and not only was he insane on the kit, but just a super sweet guy. He sat and talked with us before the show and was cool as hell.

[@jakeloranger1419]

@@krenwregget7667 I thought he would be. He looks so happy when he's playing, like he's really grateful to be able to do what he loves to do. And the way he looks at the other musicians seems to show an appreciation of their contribution and he's lucky to be playing with them. A pretty darn good attitude, if you ask me.

[@michaellambert8306]

Alien brain Antonio

[@ralphmunn1685]

Richard Bona on guitar and scatting (and a ridiculous bass player as well,) Steve Rodby on double bass, the Amazing Lyle Mays on keys - I saw this band a number of times and they always left me wanting a cigarette... and I don't even smoke!

[@gSWG3R]

New Chris Turner video featuring Thomas Lang needs to be watched. It makes 40 Roll seem like a walk in the park.

[@metal-adjacent]

I dont know if you're aware yet, but, Chris Turner just released a new track called "Triggered" (feat. Thomas Lang) He has found a new level that we were unaware of.

[@nathanmcintyre694]

I could spend multiple lifetimes learning this lol.

[@Scurr7]

Periphery just released a drum playthrough for their song Satellites. You know you have to!

[@Blindashitmetalasfuck]

God damn it Andy! How much for a expedited reaction to my boy Ken Bedene? Im thinking pay pal, because fuck patreon. If you could give me a rundown of the procedure, it would be much appreciated. TAKE MY MONEY! P.s. I'll shine your head for a dollar!

[@jason1888]

Makes me think...."Crazy Tweaks".

[@bobbychouffe6988]

I think Kiwis should now say taking you/going "on an adventure" instead of "on a journey" since the LoTR movies.😁

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

😂👌Bobby!

[@bobbychouffe6988]

@@AndrewRooneyDrums Sorry it was in The Hobbit movies, not LoTR...my bad. Hey, by the way. Did you ever checked Camille Bigeault ? Interesting drummer ! She likes to play with poly rhythms and polymeters. I don't want to bother you but I think she's worth it. Cheers and keep up the good work. Don't you dare stop the youtube channel 👍💝

[@kaynesantor8136]

Dude, you gotta check out Chris Turner's new thing. It just came out and it features another drummer, Thomas Lang, and it's pretty damn cool. Its basically a drum battle, except very orchestrated. Check it out man. Cheers.

GOODMORNING BRUH ...

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

GOOD MORNING Don!

[@hypnosis4207]

Is it me or do Jazz drummers care more about the toms just weeeeee bit more? 🤔🤔 I think my toms are to close together in diameter and also depth to get major difference... my " floor" is only 14x10 lol it's so hard tuning that damn thing to sound like a floor tom.... Any video suggestions anyone? I'm having a hard time tuning after I got my new resos.....(rack toms 10x5.5,12x7. Floor 14x10. ) I would love any help at all 😁😁 #RooneyWarriors thanks for the help in advance

[@aggidrengen]

Awesome! Is it just me or do the first couple of minutes sound a bit like the first couple of minutes of the Moby Dick (John Bonham) drum solo? Sorry if I'm way off beat. Keep up the good work Andrew! :)

[@Silentghos]

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@kyrrefredriksen7015]

Allways the same. The crowd applause energy but the devils in the details. What a drummer. What a left foot..

[@mikeyem1562]

Great drummer, but after all of these videos I've watched, all I can think of now is all the different faces people put on while they drum.

[@drakausdromgatti58]

There must be something wrong with me...I could tell it was good...but my ears didn't care for it.

[@patrickbrennan2864]

Try “Last Train Home” or tracks from “The Sound of Summer Running” - gorgeous and layered, and less busy - you’ll LOVE it

[@DoctorTyrell]

Please stop showing so much of yourself. Video should be large and you should be tiny in the corner. Other than that, decent analysis.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Hey Matt! I tried that and the response was viewers didn't like it. It was overwhelming

[@patrickbrennan2864]

2.9k views for the Pat Metheny Group And who gets 50k views? Teenagers in maid costumes strumming along to recorded music (aka “Bandmaid”) Is ANYONE going to stand up for honesty in the music industry? Good God. Guess not. To your everlasting shame.
