Gary Novak - Drum Compilation (2019-2020)

[@dray4393]

One of the most UNDERRATED drummers in the industry!!!!! Gary has been a beast for decades!!!!!! Pocket, dynamics, chops, placement and solo ability!!!!!!!✌🏾

[@MaartenVHelden]

Underrated by whom? Not by me! I've seen a clinic of this guy at the Rotterdam Conservatory when he toured with Chick Corea in the nineties. Everybody in the room was flabbergasted. Have you noticed the guys he played with? David Sanborn, Michael McDonald, Robben Ford. I'm looking at Frank Gambale here and Steve Weinberg maybe? Bob berg on Sax? He is not underrated at all.

[@HadEnough745]

Not underrated - maybe not a household name like Weckl or Colaiuta..But people who know of him, know he's a great drummer.

[@pocotarock2199]

@@MaartenVHelden SURE!

[@MaartenVHelden]

Oh and don't forget Alanis Morissette

[@arleco12]

Reading comments on youtube, it seems that everybody is underrated nowadays.

[@noelghallager4672]

he's one of the greats and he has been since the early 90's... he can play circles around most cats

[@afromannen]

Thank you for sharing this! The world always needs more Gary!

[@nicklangmusic]

Between the soloing, the comping/interaction, and just playing the perfect groove, Gary Novak is quickly becoming one of my favorites.

[@drummantvhg9490]

I remember this guys on the record called 'Chick Corea Electrik Band ll the title was Paint the world' It was amazing drumming!

[@dray4393]

When I heard that Dave Weckl wasn't on that project, I thought that I would be disappointed..NOT!!!!!! I've been a fan since!!!!!!✌🏾

[@josephgiarraffa6379]

His playing on Paint the World was just amazing Dave weckl coached him on playing that album but of course had his own sound which I loved on that album

[@westerlu77]

Gary has such more groove to Electric Band then Dave Weckl ever have. I like it a lot. Listen to CTA for example, it’s a big difference to me.

GARY NOVAK IS SUPER AMAZING!!!!!! ALWAYS HAS BEEN!!!!! 🥁🎶

[@miles-178]

million thanks for doing it !!!!!! .... My No.1 drummer ever!!!! still in the connection with him, greatest human and friend (if i can call it) ... always came up with unique chops, displacement and feeling .... that is sooo precious !!!!

[@TheEuropa567]

That clip at 1:30, there is so much Tony coming out of Gary, i love it

[@jazzban]

I echo all of the elogies here. Just one more thing. I am thinking two of the best matched grips in the jazz/bop idiom Gary Novak and Bill Stewart.

[@kimbeomcheol]

Best drummer in the world~~

[@DrumApe]

Such a monster on the drums!

[@doomprogger6345]

Gary´s drumming is so tasty! Thanks so much for this amazing video!

[@theavenger3363]

Fabulous musician ....

[@chicanochops]

MONSTER

[@chicanochops]

If I knew where these club/bar gigs were, I’d be at every single one 😂

[@mrmeoff]

Gary so sic! #DRUMs!

[@raymondkarlsson9794]

Great to hear these clips but almost nothing of Gary’s other great qualitys. A giant pulse and beat regardless of the genre. I got that he breaked through with Maynard Ferguson way back. From my point he is one of the greatest players in the upper elite of technical/dense players. Including Colaiuta, Chambers and Weckl.

[@andym28]

Anyone know of Gary does lessons? I want to ask him.

[@Cvitandrums]

He is now, that covid is happening. He mentioned it somewhere recently. I can't remember if it was youtube, instagram or facebook. just private message him. I'm sure he would organise a time with you.
