Exploring Melody, Ostinatos And Improvising - Terry Bozzio (Masterclass Teaser)

[@rhythmfield]

Terry needs to be acknowledged as in master composer, as well as a great and utterly unique, original drummer. All of his ostinatos and improvisations are solid compositionally, they stand on their own as pieces of music.

[@johnveca2979]

Terry is a smart and insightful guy. I actually like hearing his ideology as much as I like hearing his drumming. His ideology and his drumming are well connected and go hand in hand.

[@kenmunozatmmrrailroad6853]

I was lucky enough to see Terry behind Jeff Beck… it was an otherworldly experience- Jeff who? Then the accompanying act hit the stage- SRV. Yes… an unbelievable show. I’ll never forget the drumming.

[@jasonbutler4011]

Saw a show from that tour at MSG. Without a doubt, one of the best shows I've ever seen and Bozio gave me a whole new respect for drummers.

[@stevekimball7931]

I have been following Terry for 40 years and he is a National Treasure..

[@Spzmeador]

TB, thank you for all the years with Frank Zappa, Missing Persons, Lonely Bears, Polytown and all of your solo stuff, you have been a inspiration and you have earned the title of Legend in my book. May God grant you many years to come. And your a very encouraging and humble person on top of all else. Terry Bozzio, I hope you get a chance to see this comment, I am sure there are many of us that feel the same way.

terry bozzio is the MASTER of "HIGH ART" drumming !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@markfinney7387]

One of the most innovative and inspiring drummers to catapult big kit playing to a far more musical and sophisticated level.

[@ChorusArtists]

He's a God on the kit, and I'm so glad he's still out there. Still remember him with Zappa, and in Missing Persons. He's just sooooo good, his chops are otherworldly.

The lesson here is in the words. Well said, Terry. Enjoy the journey, not the destination.

[@boblob2003]

Terry Bozzio's drumming literally changed my life when I first heard him almost 40 years ago. His work with Zappa, UK and Missing Persons was beyond inspiring, more like an addiction! He probably views his early work as "quaint" or "derivative" nowadays, but it meant so much to me... and really sent me on a quest to be the best I could be. Thank you, Terry!!!

[@davelester3357]

Awesome analysis...I was that young drummer, had a ton of fun in the 70’s and 80’s. I stopped for 30 years. Now the last 6 years, I started to really experience the deeper dive in grooves and syncopated drumming. Thanks bro!

[@Ben-Jamminalot]

What Terry said is why he is not only an inspiration for me. Simply that it only enforces why I want to learn and increase my drumming vocabulary & or abilities.

[@patrickfarley8036]

Terry Bo-dhisattva-zzio! The student of life through drums. A true "Master" by deffinition.

[@cfyves]

It's been years since I've seen a live "Bozzio" clinic... but the impact always lives on. Hearing you speak, Terry, inspires. Thank you!

[@lanierhvac123]

Inspirational percussion philosophy and the art of music explained by one of the best! Thank you Terry Bozzio

[@WarhawkBeyond2040]

It's always great to see Terry Bozzio and he's looking very well, loved his work with UK, Frank Zappa & Jeff Beck. Great love and respect for one of the greatest drummers of all time

[@importmusicarg]

This man is a LEGEND.

[@kevinchronister6668]

Terry Bozzio is truly the king of taking the drumset into the higher dimension of melodic playing while accompaning yourself!! A true genius and grand master behind the set whose style and inspiration will be with us for many, many decades to come!!!

[@bradykamai6773]

Well zaid Terry! Love the Muzik Language! Drum Life! Learn It, Feel It, Play It, Live It.

[@shanebillard156]

This man is so fcuken good it is scary. I have tried some of his rudiments and grooves and I consider myself to be a pretty good drummer. I have been drumming all my life and I have just about gone mentally ill trying to copy these grooves. I mean listen to his base drums when he speeds up with his hands and does more complicated beats his feet are solid. Incredible drummer, world class.

[@billr55]

I've been fortunate to see two Terry Bozzio clinics which were incredible. But probably my favorite time seeing Terry was with a little known backup band to Jethro Tull back in the late 70's. It was the band U.K. I was totally and thoroughly blown away.

[@BobSchoepenjr]

Ladies and gentlemen👉🏼 TERRY BOZZZZZIO ‘one of the most inspiring drummers ever’

[@mrbpies4347]

Bozzio is simply amazing! & Two more come to mind Tom lang & Marco Minneman with the ability to take the drum kit anywhere Amazing

[@davejohnson607]

Always loved Terry's drumming so creative. I saw him back in the day on the jeff beck guitar shop tour. Warm up band was stevie ray Vaughn and double trouble. That was a great show.

[@TheProfessorWilliam]

He is saying the truth. Terry and I played together a few years back. We were working on Latin grooves. I had so much fun. I have a picture of terry and I that I will keep for ever. Thanks Terry for all the years you have been pointing the way.

[@aarongroh8018]

Bozzio , one of the greatest!!!! I get where he's coming from. Talk percussion " Any one can go to guitar center and buy a Simple set up and learn a couple beats and perfect the dumb beat and get In a band a maybe that band might get famous, but finding something u love and perfectly exploring it like a beat with ur feet that acts like a bass player " 😆. Whoever gave a thumbs down , really! May I ask when is last time 10s of thousands of people payed for a ticket to see u perform on stage by urself behind a drum set that u would get lost behind 🤔🥁🥁?

[@Cjzdrums]

Love this man! God bless you Terry

[@SafeInstinct]

As always, Terry Bozzio is very inspiring - Thanks

[@DavidLazarus]

Terry is an amazing drummer. Just listen to Bozzio Levin Stevens and Bozzio Preinfalk Machacek for two stunning examples. Incredibly melodic and innovative.

[@thatdrummeroz654]

Terry is still my favorite drummer!

[@tonyshifter]

Great interview. Its great to see the appreciation for the art and continued growth.

[@HermesTrismegistes369]

Diggin the smaller kit. Loved his kit in the 90's. Before it got humungous.

[@dallasstiles118]

When Terry says this takes a little coordination and time, for me learning this that's the understatement of all time.

[@carlop3019]

Priceless advice! Wow.. thank you so much!

[@padistedor]

Terry is right. Most new drummers fixate on gospel chops or blast beats and think thats all they need to know.

[@AlbertMoyerJr]

Terry nailed it on the head with his conversation.

[@samwhitty3036]

[@matteoprog2298]

The only one. Precision, elegance, technique and musicality

[@marcdedouvan]

YOU FORGOT TO TALK ABOUT THE KITS

[@nixneato]

Funny how Terry described the journey I'm going through (the band to no-band thing). I met this guy over 20 years ago in Belgium and to this day I am still moved by how nice he was, and by the way he called me by name to say goodbye when I left. A true class act, and an example I've followed my whole life. Talk about inspiring. Thanks again Terry 🙏

[@jamescassidy3995]

Dude is so eloquent & heartfelt in his music & in his speech.

[@DCussen]

Completely agree!!!! Push it, don’t just sound like everybody else. Find uncharted territory.

Truer words were never spoken, as they say.🎉❤

[@mattryan6886]

Wow, Terry has the toned down kit today, still brought the crazy China top line rack lol 😂 absolute master at work. What I wouldn’t do to take lessons from him, can’t imagine the things I could learn. His work with Zappa is mind bending

[@patdeniston3697]

Im the guy that went to guitar center and bought a cheap kit and im having a blast with it. But here I am wanting more trying to learn more. Nobody warned me of the rabbit hole I jumped into. I am now fully immersed in the drumming world and I want it all.

[@lancehollum857]

I went to see Terry about 25 years ago north of Seattle in Lynnwood Washington. It was a great clinic. Terry was awesome like always

[@miked473]

[@davidcook4623]

Mitch, have you listened to The Knack's "Zoom" album? That's Bozzio. It's quite good. Came out in about 1998, I believe.

[@knotshardly1036]

(1:45 to 3:45) He's talking about the effect of consumerism on our approach to music. In this culture success is seen as creating a popular celebrity brand. That experience can only go so far as we develop as an artist. But there is so much more to the experience if we but in the time to acquire skills that might not necessarily increase the popularity of our celebrity brand. Yet these skills are necessary to become a scholar or master of the art form. And then we can experience the kind of joy or satisfaction that consumerism can't provide.

[@geevee7823]

This man blew me away when I heard him on Heavy Metal Be-Bop.

[@johnsoos6907]

YES! For my money, that is some of his best playing!

[@oxouk]

Nice to see Terry playing a minimalistic scaled down kit.

[@paulbrighton3303]

It’s not so much a “lack of teaching,” it’s a lack of being teachable and having patience. Kids want instant gratification, but it’s not due to video games. It was that way when I was growing up in the early 70s. I wanted to be on stage like Rush, but learning how to play like Neil wasn’t low art either. We all need the right path that works for us as individuals. Some can learn in a classroom environment and some can learn off of videos like this. We are not all reachable or teachable the same way.

[@demonicsweaters]

Where o where can i get a copy of his solo drums video? I had it on VHS in the 90s and watched it religiously! Need to get back to that

[@technicalitems731]

Damn. True that on the “culturally on American we don’t have that much education ……we don’t know what’s high art…” lol. He’s spot on about the sexual motivation as to why people play. When the hormones calm down and you’ve had a few divorces and you are broken from it….you sell some stuff and get a monster DW drum kit and do the Ostinato drumming to satisfy thy self

[@MrRezRising]

I'm commenting before watching, cuz I know it's gonna be awesome. He was awesome in his 80s video talking about the same shit: Ostinatos! LOVE THE STRIPPED DOWN HMS BOZZIO DRUMSET! Good move. 🤘🤘

This is his stripped down kit? Jeeeze!!!

@@BennieTarrMusic Have you not seen the HMS Bozzio in its full form? It's majestic. Terry's pretty cool, too. 😉
