Joey Baron solo - Roulette TV, NYC, NY, 2009-12-13

[@tomg529]

Joey is the best drummer I have ever seen live, and I have seen alot of drummers!!

[@SWH2012]

Definitely an underrated god out there... Saw him doing a solo gig just like this and talked to the man twice over the years: humble cat with sooo much depth, dynamic and melody in his playing. Pure musicality without any ego pours out of this man. And with that smile on his face and his eyes close, he's offfff into the zone. Magic!

[@tubemenow2007]

Such wonderful and musical drumming. So refreshing. Beautiful and delicate. What drums can be when played by a thinking sensitive and melodic master drummer. All drummers can learn from and enjoy. Thank you Mr. Baron.

[@robertoandreucci]

A poet of the drums, because there are no words, there is no melody, but there are breaths, silences and a lot of poetry transformed into sound

[@BillRayDrums]

So damn good. I love his cymbal tones!

[@ronroyer9479]

Fantastic !!!!

[@StevenWadey1]

. A chaque fois un grand plaisir de découvertes et de générosité. MErci.

[@crazy8sdrums]

45 minutes of brilliant ideas and feelings expressed through a drumset... Genius-level mastery of the instrument. Magnificent!

[@TheGroovyyyy]

The most honest player. Soulful...gentleman...sweet guy. Tones of music, tones of drumming the last decades. Joey Baron is the ONE! I hope to meet him one day...

[@bluesgiant512]

Joey is one of the best out there and very underrated. I've had the opportunity to see him play up close and also be graced with his time after a gig. He is a true professional, a very fine human being and obviously a master musician. All aspiring drummers should check this player out and take what you can and apply it to your own playing.

[@TheVagolfer]

Ironically, I knew Joey during this young age when he was being bused in Richmond. I met him at The Boys Club of Richmond just as he was starting out as a drummer. He still has the same impish smile he had as a kid.

[@peteryoung4974]

Wow wow just such beautiful colours ... love it!.

[@urbulibaba]

magnificent playing, wonderful audio!

[@CarlosGonzalezSirCharles]

Joey Baron, músico de Primera División, crea música al más alto nivel.Joey, your music touch me! Thank you

[@LuisFlores-xr5bu]

This playing it's so melodic and fresh, Im having a blast

[@SebowTube]

Absolutely magnificent...

[@hermestrismegistus6421]

Absolutely brilliant performance! Joey is an incredible drummer who plays the drums with such profound depth and feeling, every bit as evocative as any other instrument. Hats off to you for uploading this gem! /G\

[@hermestrismegistus6421]

I must add that Baron's jovial mirthfulness is positively contagious, a mark of someone completely completely in touch with their true nature, IMO.

[@equilibrioprehumano]

Joey Baron, una eminencia como baterista y de la percusion!!!...

[@drumsbymark]

Absolutely incredible! The musicality, the dynamics, the creativity, the sheer technique… I noticed that seven people don't like this. I'll never understand KZbin until the day I die. Who would dislike this video? My only guess would be 14-year-old kids who are upset that he is not wearing skinny jeans and playing blast beats?...

[@doca9357]

maybe they're bothered by drums that sound like drums, or not having a marching band 4 on the floor beat

[@francisv_music]

Here are three Joey Baron transcriptions from the album Beauty And The Beast (1986) by Mark Murphy, enjoy. francisdrummer.wordpress.com/2017/11/19/3-joey-baron-drum-transcriptions/

[@_raulvillafuerte]

37:31 Tony Williams lick (seven steps to heaven)

[@thesiant]

Best drummer period. Convince me otherwise

[@peteryoung4974]

Best drum soloist anyway!

[@ymz5]

Peter Erskine can compete. But let's not categorize. Both of them are Great Drummers. And Jack & Harvey too.

[@peteryoung4974]

I agree no categorizing but C Walter Lovell Really a lot better then these guys.. lol

[@westbrad6808]

There no such thing as the best. No need to convince, it’s just the truth

[@jazzman642]

There is no spoon

[@woobiehastelly]

0:20 Joey looks like he's about to shout out: "WHAT DO I DO NEXT GUYS??!" I love his silly demeanor and vibe! Guess he's made to be conducted, and Zorn knew that very well!

[@EduardoJoanes]

Tremendo!!!

[@alessandrococuzza9686]

Magnifico batterista! Come gioca lui con la tonalità dei tamburi e dei piatti!...

[@jtlemay4878]

Best smile in the biz

[@martydurlam]

Legend

[@DailyDaydreaming]

Awesome!

[@mor5843]

And this beautiful story at the end...

[@AlexinoJazz]

What a sound!

[@badscrutinizer7336]

Oh Man👍👍👍

[@toshbrice]

Joey is fabulous and this is wonderful but isn't the audio out of sync with the video?

[@alexsh]

+toshbrice Yeah, sorry about that.

[@MattFittPhoto]

The audio is out of sync by ~0.3 seconds. 1. Download the video 2. Open in VLC media player. 3. Right click for options. 4. Select TOOLS --> Track Synchronization 5. Select Synchronization Tab 6. In the "Audio Track Synchronization" field, click the Down arrow three times in order to input a value of -0.300 s (Hastened) 7. Watch and enjoy.

[@jazzman642]

Joey’s playing secures a successful hunt

[@MZRN1661]

Awesome set and interesting interview. The presenter is a bit...over the top?

[@ClairmontRD]

plays like cooking

[@MrCromonauta]

Bueno, bueno, bueno.

[@Jordy-is-niet-mijn-echte-naam]

mannn, he just let's nature speak

[@PanchoJazz]

Deep sound

[@13THEMAS]

Can anyone tell the sizes of the drums?

[@electribe333]

Joey mentiones a girls (a musician I assume) name at 51:56. Can anybody help me out?

[@alexsh]

Ikue Mori

[@electribe333]

Thanx a lot! :)

[@Mdjagg]

What brand cymbals are those?

[@sinanajaflou2452]

not sure but I assume they are Spizzichino.

[@sinanajaflou2452]

I see Turkish logo on the bottom.

[@yujimband7339]

I think the journalist is coming on to Baron.

[@lucvaillancourt8580]

Amazing. Too bad the video and sound aren't quite in sync.

[@Claire-cj6nn]

[@ErikYkema]

To see Joey in action with other musicians - which is something quite different, music/creation-wise - you could try kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5KxmpWFgJV5asU (a John Zorn piece, 1999), where he has an extensive solo.

[@sinisaspan7322]

Tko god je ovo stavio na Zoutube, hala

[@sinisaspan7322]

NOT hala. HVALA.

[@nicholaswood821]

No motif’s?

[@jacekmalota5571]

I would bet it's Jeff Bezos :)

[@jakejke]

It's boring as hell and tensed. Uncomfortable for the ears.

[@TheVagolfer]

Just your opinion, as a drummer I thought it was innovative and interesting.

[@jakejke]

At some point, the ear must eventually hear (understand,intend) what it anticipates, what it supposes in the game. If the tension is never interrupted, the audience is just stretched, tense and annoyed. In most cases, people get bored. The audience, listeners must be satisfied and feel satisfied.

[@jakejke]

He's a very good percussionist but not a drummer, it's a joke of course but sometimes true...

[@nicholaswood821]

Jake I agree

[@tubemenow2007]

Some people can't understand and appreciate at this level.
