Gil Sharone Reggae Rhythms

[@jonasgustaf]

17 years later. Still one the best drumming videos on KZbin. I first saw this when I was 14 or something. Now 31 y.o. Still kicks ass.

[@shawnwalrus]

16 years later and still coming back to this for my reggae drum fix.

[@Apreo]

8 years later - still the best reggae drumming video on the Internet! :)

[@Apreo]

jimmyshitbags Yeah, I just came back for my monthly fix myself. 🤙✌️

[@Apreo]

1:58-2:09 is so off the hook good... jazzin out and landing right back in Kingston 🇯🇲🔥🙌

[@cannabiskush9236]

How crazy. 8 years later I think to my self I want to watch some badd ass reggae drumming and this came to my mind. So i look up the unforgettable name. And I find your legit ass comment. !!

Come on!

[@pinoypop02]

Still listening in 2022 One of the gems I encountered during the early days of KZbin 🙂

[@samuraiguitarist]

Best drum video on youtube

[@ruckerdrums7934]

That quick fill at 1:18 is the tastiest sounding fill I've ever heard in my life. I can't get enough of it!

[@haxanjonsson6195]

you had me check it. slick! peace

[@riazwalji3417]

Keeps me coming back several times a year... Agree!

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT

[@LuisGonzalez-ip8jp]

Dude I was 15 when this came out I’m 32 now and I’m so thankful I can come to this once in a while.

[@elijahsubero5409]

15 yes later and I’m still getting goosebumps

[@rj_onbass]

I remember watching this video when it came out

[@LukeSnyderMusic]

I have a gig tonight in which I'm playing some reggae, watching this guy for inspiration. Thumbs up if he inspires you too!

[@panteraman32]

I'm not even a Reggae fan, but I am amazed at Gil's playing every time I watch this.

[@thiagosariga]

Many years have passed away... And still remains 1 of the best reggae (if not the best) grooves ever!

[@marcelovillarreal7114]

somehow I just keep coming back to this video every 6 months or so

[@TTM1755]

I first saw this video 10 years ago & it still dope af

[@Nattfodd88]

Same here b

[@braedonavants]

Holy shit I used to watch this all the time in 2006/7 but I could not remember your name for the life of me. Just finished watching your drumeo video and when they said your name it clicked. So glad I could come back to this. Still amazing

[@226lakewood]

i will never get tire of watching these video

[@StickyRix]

I can't stop watching Gil Sharone and Stewart Copeland videos. Tell the people the news. Reggae music is on the loose.

[@jaymeramirez7435]

I remember I was 23 yrs old watching this video. I wanted to play reggae so bad after this.

[@sivanassumatra]

17 years ago, this was love at first sight reggae rhythm. Thank you Gil Sharone.

[@williamgazca963]

I haven't watched this video in years that intro with those horns is miraculous.

[@stopcupcakingit]

i found the first song!!!! man, i looked all over youtube for this song, however i must warn all of you that have been looking for it just like me, its not the same rythm as the one on this video but it is the same song...looks like Gil using a remixed version...its by AUGUSTUS PABLO - 555 DUB STREET

[@surfyou76]

How can anyone dislike this. Oh maybe Gil Sharone hates it the 46 times he veiws it.

[@BobbySacamano]

Couple few times seein you with DEP and Stolen Babies and I keep coming back to this as a straight up lesson in groove and reggae perfection

[@davethehostage]

This guy embodies the concept of musical versatility. He jams with all his heart to classic reggae grooves and ska, but he's played with the Dillinger Escape Plan - nuff said.

[@84Shewy]

1st Listen....now an influenced drummer as well...THANK YOU ! Amparo your right in so many ways...

[@daniellllll45419]

This was one of the very first videos I watched on youtube many years ago , Dec 19 and still rocking....

[@williamgazca6641]

8 years later still need the name of that horn part in the beginning 😭

[@Blakezilla61603]

U find out ?

[@williamgazca6641]

Nah man still no luck 🙄

[@DrewEspejoDrums]

swing easy

[@dca8821]

Everytime i watch this i think to myself very rare to hear a drummer play this energetic, flashy, tasty and compelling at the same time!

[@blacksystem12]

who dislikes this!?! gil sharone best drummer alive!

[@CheckeredPast]

His feel on Swing Easy is just jaw dropping! Love the Wicked Beats DVD

[@SteliosManolakakis]

insane , just insane.. great rimshots and the side snare is amazing. very inspiring.

[@takenxtx]

I don't know how many time i have watched this video over the years. Love it!

[@RasL1on]

Too many haters on here. This guy really knows what he is doing. Amazing playing. Sensimilla and Rockfort Rock are a couple of the songs he is playing. 5 stars and favorited. Im in the OC. Send me a pm if you need a reggae bass or guitar player :)

[@underscoreisnotvalid]

this man has truly mastered the art of drums. every single note is is rhythmically, dynamically and tastefully PERFECT

[@elijahsubero5409]

This video is legendary

[@Schmidthorst69]

The song is called "swind easy" and it was composed by the kings of ska, the skatalites!

[@evanseventy7593]

No but they covered it in 1997 on their album Ball Of Fire. Original is by Soul Vendors

[@Schmidthorst69]

"Swing Easy" of course. ;-)

[@Schmidthorst69]

@@evanseventy7593 Yes, that's right. But Soul Vendors and Skatalites are nearly the same musicians.

[@evanseventy7593]

@Schmidthorst69 that's quite impressive. You swiftly replying to a comment you made 17 years ago!

[@Schmidthorst69]

@@evanseventy7593 I have to thank you for that. It was only through your comment that I was made aware of my typo. :) But it's really frightening how quickly time flies.

[@jasona9372]

Been coming back to this for years

[@geterpleyer]

I have viewed this like a thousand times my grandson makes me repeat it over and over I'm still not sick of it so it must be good he's 2 i guess he wants to be a drummer not a guitarist dang!

[@jamescastillo2405]

I can watch this guy all day never get enough of his funk. Makes you want to hit the wood shed every time. 🥁

[@marvinl.7372]

This video was literally the anthem for my summers during high school 🥲

[@MsSmudge14]

My goodness, you put your heart and soul into this performance, lovely.

[@ystein3000]

I'm not a big reggae fan, but this drumming makes it all so frickin awesome ! reggae can be the lamest music style, but it can also be one of the greatest!

[@MrUriel777]

Just outta sight mon -)) Yeahh ... got me skankin" on that one, nuff respect, dis is heartbeat music showin' forth the marvellous works of creation livin" in I and I ... post more videos please cos' you rock the roots man -)

[@juxtapozy]

If anyone who knew Gil could tell him to please make a DVD about his approach on reggea rythms we could all die in peace...!

[@mikvee]

Now that's what reggae is all about...playin with da spirit and heart! Mo' fire...bless

[@lismore21]

Hell yes man!! If you cant feel the rythym in this song and/or dont feel like dancing to it, you are definitely watching the wrong stuff on KZbin.

[@VileVeil]

probably some of the best reggae drumming I have ever seen. brilliant video. I can't wait til I can play like Gil!

[@rogerpeachey2212]

Your up there with the best..karigan.domink.marky drums.ect...get get enough of you guys .brilliant.

[@mihaidrums5]

This is the best reggae drumming that I've ever seen

[@Apreo]

Mihai Drums I’ve been searching for something better for the last 8 years and still haven’t found one.... 😂🤙

[@jazmar0822]

Haven't seen sly Dunbar when he was with Black Uhuru?

[@areaboy777]

You need to go out more.

[@cannabiskush9236]

By far. But theres is something horribly wrong with this video and it tears me apart. Its too just too short! It is completly unfair.

[@RomanIndonesia]

This sooo rocks! Some parts are so neat laid back and tight! Shows that not all rock/metal drummers are just blasting nerds.

[@funkymunkydrummer]

he is doing a dvd on ska and reggae drumming. look on his myspace or facebook. its called Wicked Beats. i can't wait to get it!

[@domthecolossus]

okay, from what i know, the songs he plays is "Swing Easy" and another song called "Sinsemilla". but the thing is that he has more up-to-date recordings, so he most have had people re-play these songs to sound more modern and better. what he plays here is different from what's on record, but it's still the same songs. i hope that helps ALOT of people.

[@sidtapia09]

uhhh man, that was..... sweet, sublime, i dunno. loved it. Reggae is medicine for the soul. yeh

[@loverliars]

I could listen to him play for days.

[@Cocoflava]

MONSTROSITY!!!!!! Im trying to get that good.. Lots of playing time. Nice Video, Added to my Favs! -Wil

[@deepfocus_01]

damn!!! Gil sharone is by far one of the best drummers around... self taught, he can play any beat you ask him... is he givin seminars in Latin America?

[@rogersat]

dude i had clicked on this video then got distracted then 0:20 happened and i was like "o!!!" awesome groove and feel man.

[@TimGRiley]

Love this vid. Your crash with the upturned splash just rings on and on!

[@wrarmatei]

I'm stoked on ire works. I bet Sharone is gonna sound great on it. Dillinger I have never been disappointed in DEP's choices in new members.

[@Scalarmind]

Ooooooh YEAAAAAHH! That's what I'm talking about dude.

[@ChrisPavlides]

16 years later and still this jam sounds PERFECT! (2023)

[@Cocoflava]

i Can not stop watching this Video! -Wil

[@aristix6]

Can't stop watching this...unbelievable!

[@musicalala]

wicked! I agree w/dude below.finally a drummer that's not a hack. This is legit reggae chops not watered down crap.

[@stothepizzle]

How in the world did 24 people not like this!?! Travesty. Good riddim'.

[@AlexCryn]

duuude youre awesome!!! YOU REALY NEED TO POST MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS ONE ON KZbin!!! I love it!!! You are feeling it

[@ashs1988]

That fill at around 30 secs in is mad. Im going to be learning that. good drumming

[@madzephyr]

Dude, just from watching this short video, you can tell he really feels the music from head to toe- this is soo great! I play offbeat-music (reggae,ska)myself- what kind of drum is the one on his left side- looks a bit like a snare, but sounds sooo tight in his fills!

[@obradier]

you can feel the riddim, you know how to do it, congratulations

[@SebastianGrant]

I'll choose both. Different bands, different styles, but both fantastic in their own rights...

[@greasemunky326]

deffinately his versatility is just nutz, not to mention he knows an innumerable amount of styles and has some mad chops at lots of them

[@Beniceuntilitstime2]

Gil is an amazing drummer period. Incredible drummer in many many different styles.

[@Apreo]

Whoa! Instant repeat... 5* deluxe! The man has rare passion and fire for reggae drumming! Anyone know where to find more reggae clips with Gil? All I've found apart from this clip is so not reggae. Repeat again........ :)

[@ralucard]

wow that was great. i like your timing on the rolls

[@nofearnodistractions]

Sooo bad ass! I wish i could play like that! good job!

[@cruzfernie]

Like everyone else.. had to come back. That cymbal/bass/tom fill at 1:18. Damn good.

[@toddelrod1]

@olsouzid it looks like he is playing a broken 16th note pattern there on the hi hats accenting the "up" beat with the left foot. Broken 16th note pattern is playing the standard "1 e & a" beat and leaving some notes out to add taste. Hope this helps!

[@evansjake30]

its so badass.tryin to learn reggae beats is savage.i give u props bro

[@EYEROCCO]

@UKNOWIT88 YOU ARE SO RIGHT! IT SOUNDED BEAUTIFUL!

[@burteus]

Hello!!!!!!!!!!Dude you are wicked on those drums...............Very nice accenting I might add this video has introduced me to a new style of playing thanx............I also checked out some of your other vids nice!!!!!

[@funkymunkydrummer]

his DVD is going to be rad!

[@MustafaShabazzShukri]

you fools about the fills! theres playin for the music and then theres playin to a CD and showin what you can do! clearly with all those fills he's in the pocket and demonstrating various ideas, I for one am grateful that he tore it up if it was live, maybe not as much

[@mike.hidalgo]

So silky smooth. Sharone is as awesome as he is versatile.

[@mattiamusic]

@AmparoJan Well said sir. I wish more drummers would read this and maybe realize that ever drummer is different and has different influences, thus, different styles. I'm with you 100%. Rock on. \m/

[@sowhatt68]

Amazing m8t, great licks. espacially 1:18, 2:01 and transition at 1:37. Excellent

[@sk8rj514]

i wish this song was longer!!!!!

[@StickyRix]

His chops and fills are awesome!

[@giganv8]

this guy is crazy good. hopefully i can get that good someday but in the meantime, back to practicing!

[@funkymunkydrummer]

@wayrod51 its a real inspiration to become that versital! to go from DEP to this! he plays so many styles with such feel, one of my favorite drummers ever!

[@sjmrisingforce]

yeah, you guys might wanna check out the dillinger escape plan's ire works... and catch them live... the greatest show you'll ever see.

[@sleepy5zzz]

saw this guy at the modern drummer fest....played some stuff from his dub project, played some fusion and played some stuff from dillinger...is there anything this guy cant do? oh yea and hes so chill talked to him after the show and hes a really funny guy

[@MateuszModrzejewski]

Jesus Christ this video is mindblowing

[@drummerboy231434]
