Stephen Perkins | Drum Solo

[@brianyoung2268]

Stephen is one of the hardest working drummers in the business!!!

[@SPARKY4944]

Badass drummer that lets the music come to him.Too bad theres not more drummers like this.

[@joshuacarson886]

Always found Stephen Perkins to be so sonically creative, a true madman of the aleatoric and rhythmic science.

[@michaelgeinopolos6911]

My dream is to just chill with Stephen Perkins and play drums all day

[@djalien1057]

My favorite drummer of all time... not just for his technical chops, but the creativity and passion is palpable. It's a unique sound that is unmistakably Stephen Perkins.

[@galadherethylfia9831]

What I like, is that he let the drums actually "sound", you can hear the different "notes", this solo breathes a lot !

[@kevinreyer8007]

Absolutely insane! Gotta be about the best drum solo I remember ever hearing

[@bfranco1519]

Check out Danny Carey's live Pnuema on here

[@bobhowells9603]

his playing speaks for itself. that drumset sounds amazing, dw should be proud, just lovely at all dynamic ranges

[@OrbitronFactory]

2:35 damn amazing tone on those toms. They sound perfect.

[@SwamiLama]

Simply one of the best.

[@mygoodnessdarlin]

This is not playing the drums… this is BEING the drums…..I am completely awestruck . BRAVO! Jaw dropping composition and execution.

[@sandyshippiezone2018]

Just saw some of his playing in Count Me In (Netflix). I became an instant fan!! I’ve also enjoyed watching other solos, but Stephen’s, I could watch all day!! His passion flows & you can tell he loves what he does🥰🥰

[@eyelovekicks]

Great drummer, and his kit sounds really good.

[@Sithman1776]

Perkins is amazing.

[@joedapier590]

I've always loved his playing and his creativity. Plus, he's a super nice guy (met him once).

[@rhythmista7707]

This was extremely enjoyable to watch. Mr. Perkins has a masterful musicality on the drums that is lacking with some of today's contemporaries. A true musician of the percussive world, just like his obvious major influence shows in this performance, a.k.a.the professor himself, Mr. Neil Peart..

[@lancefraijo8585]

Stephen's a Master of his craft. Rock On Brother.

[@MrDeppness]

Stephen Perkins kept this one rocking from start to finish. Not many drummers have a lot of good ideas on their own or know how to compose a solo with structure, melody, and cohesiveness. Even some of the world's best drummers can be boring without the proper music to bring their talents out. Stephen nailed this solo. All bobble-headedness aside, this was a solid performance.

[@SuburbanConan]

Really,really well tuned kit.... Sonically perfect..... Dude takes his vitamins.....

[@mohanicus]

Ultra respect for any drummer male or female....its fantastic to watch....steve is one of the best I've ever seen

[@shawnhapney8784]

Ya know? It's almost impossible to fathom that a guy in his 50's, who lived w/ coke and heroin junkies for years is in that good of shape and can still rock out that unholy. Bat. Shit crazy on the drums like a bull in a China shop. But it is his profession right? Doesn't take Too many breaks from the regimen I suppose even during down times. Greetings from Cleveland Stephen! You're a beast!

[@adityatyagi4009]

He really gives this solo his all. Awesome!

[@Thrashman-ye4cf]

My favorite underrated drummer in rock

Loving it !

[@jeffbarnes19fg76]

@brain. Jane's Addiction, porno for pyros, banyan, hellride, panic channel, infectious grooves, are some of the bands he is/was in. Stephen is my favorite drummer. He is always having a blast pounding his kit and that's what it's all about

[@davecronce3127]

Tim Alexander has always been one of my favorites. Some of this guy's grooves remind me of him. This is most excellent.

[@foxafox]

That`s AWESOME !

[@georgenel9556]

Amazing.Big Neil Peart influence there.Perkins is a Zen master!!!

[@aliza9608]

Awesome

[@anthonypetercoleman3575]

Three days was the morning. My focus three days old

[@jamesc1966]

Is that some Exit...Stage Left Era Neil Peart I hear bleeding through? I like it......

[@musicsimply9197]

Big UPS

[@Palestina.non.grata86]

[@KarynaMillerDoggie96]

Everytime I see that episode of Regular Show about the drum solo, all I can think about is Stephen Perkins being like "Pssh.. Pleeeease."

[@johnnylarue1]

Gnar gnar! Worlds rippin🤙

[@cliffordbarchus962]

F@#$ing Phenomenal!!! 🤟🤟🤟

[@ianhubbard1927]

[@cobyconrad5663]

Stephen Perkins is doing a live interactive masterclass with Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp on 9/14!! You get to actually talk to him live person to person, it sounds really cool. www.rockcamp.com/masterclass.php

[@danaguggino144]

😳😀❤️

[@antoniopisanu4721]

Unico al mondo

[@JTThomas82]

He looks great for his age

[@Wirramandalla]

HEbatt bgt ... drumer wong bulle

[@2112titus]

@BRAIN3AT3R I know his big claim to fame is/was Jane's Addiction but I don't know what other projects he's involved with.

[@wc6564]

smokin drummer still may be!!!!!

[@Snatchystashy]

Primus needs a new drummer. This guy could definitely fill Tim's shoes! Amazing.

[@audiobunny1767]

Gun ❤ Best drummer on the planet 🌎

[@cliffcraig5043]

You think he's feelin it?

[@charlxs]

His head moving so fast than the camera cant even get him

[@hamishmcmonkeypants5672]

This is the man that played the drums on One Big Mob by the Red Hot Chili Peppers instead of Chad Smith.

[@chunkyterds]

keep ur head still

[@benpowellfilms]

Bruce Willis plays drums??

[@mikel.laughridge9480]

this solo makes me want to be a better drummer.

[@joshcluff2]

Get the Fuck outta Here. So good

[@ecurb962]

Obviously, very Neil Peart-inspired, in terms of a "melodic solo."

[@davestrain9529]

RIP Professor

[@jamsjr44]

Definitely hear a lot of Neil peart influence in this solo.

[@alexeonsarjoo9414]

A bottomless bag of chops!

[@edgarcarranza3091]

Thats what i thought a drum solo should be, if the rest of the guys where doing their part it could be just another song

[@TCS_Aquatics]

I love Flea and Chad's musical chemistry, but I feel like somehow Stephen would have been Flea's musical soulmate....

[@jordanjames6851]

This is why I play drums! 👌

[@Ftanftangfnarrr]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4HdoH6vq56ZrM0feature=shared

[@briannugent7836]

That's basically the drumming from 3 Days

[@fulton12344]

@TheMonkeyboy84 Jane's Addiction.

[@apieceofdirt4681]

His head movements are driving me crazy

[@markmalonson7531]

He is so California.

[@StargazedReality]

if he didn't move his head, then he would probably got hit by his own drum sticks xD

[@AlexGEdits]

Ouch my neck :)

[@Tarsus-y4d]

Professor PhD Perkins 😮

[@dwing9430]

He's my favorite drummer EVER. That being said, I don't think this is a great solo. It's basically 16th notes through 90% of it. It sounds more like a song vs. a solo.

[@jimgmejaime]

he reminds me of Mike Terrana for some reason.
