[@honeychilerider]

I am lucky enough to have seen Johnny play probably at least 100 times. And he still amazes me every single time.

[@57dogsbody]

I just can't keep still watching this. Johnny is one of those guys whose groove is so deep you fel kinda glad there are no other musicians with him here.

[@Gnarlygeez]

I has the good fortune to watch a clinic at the Chicago Jazz Festival. That was the day I truly understood what drumming is all about.

[@twangbarfly]

FANTASTIC! What a musician - touches my soul!!!! And I'm a guitarist, so I don't really have a soul :-) Great stuff, keep it coming John! Thanks.

[@DrumTrainerbyJunghoKang79]

He is the legend and I'm so glad I had a piece of him in person back in N.O.

[@FawleyJude]

I love the way he counts it off at 4:09: "Chop, chop, a dak-dak-dak..." We lived in New Orleans when I was a kid and I heard the street beats during Carnival season. Johnny's got the feel and it's great to hear him play this stuff.

[@EnhancedLavaLamp]

What a treasure!

[@RORYDRUMMER]

Most under rated drummer ever! Johnny's a Nawlin's Original.

[@57dogsbody]

[@27thsnare]

[@Killick2]

[@deankeller8455]

[@kingsweetfly5745]

dude is an absolute master ... a fucking jedi

[@biglalu]

One of the master of second line drummer!

[@JamesHunterRoss]

I don't play drums, and I have no clue how anybody could even keep all that stuff going on. But I so glad somebody got this all on video, because it is epic, religion. John V. is the bomb, and I learn so much and have so much fun listening to him play!

[@57dogsbody]

I wish everybody was as open minded as you. Johnny is a true original and a smokin' musician

[@benjaminstone4829]

I am in awe, absolutely brilliant drumming. Real interesting, thanks for uploading

[@fatinthemiddle]

It is because he is out of his head, he can play from his heart

[@addrock123]

Love the passion!! Going to practice right now!!!

[@paradidd]

Amazing that this video has over 65K views and only 554 likes. People are missing a lot from this man and what he has to offer in this clip and everything he's done. The flashy guys and videos are what most people flock to.

[@DavidBullis]

Thanks for checking out my video! I have more coming soon… subscribe to my new Channel GoLive NOLA , there’s a few recent live stream performances from Johnny

[@paradidd]

Yeah man, you're correct but I'll take this greasy J.V. groove stuff over the flask any day. This is the real deal, a lot of folks just don't know it.

[@paradidd]

WOW! I didn't realize I was replying on my own comment! I've come full circle! Lol!

[@matthewbritt8498]

Some of the baddest playing

[@BillyPommerJr]

Thanks so much johnny! look forward to seeing you in april!.

[@tdrum21]

Love that groove around 8:00. It's all slamming grooves though!

[@DavidBullis]

[@apsdh340]

it evolved, evolved, evolved, evolved.....lol i love johnny v

[@padadiddle]

great drumming. John feels New Orleans and southern drummers are funkier, but some pretty funky cats came out of Philadelphia and New York.

[@ninoldar]

Johnny V is da shit!

[@caniplaydrumsforyou]

fucking masterful

[@IndependentGeorge76]

cool as fuck

[@GrandmereRouge]

[@57dogsbody]

junco ppppppartner

[@webstercat]

Must be something in the water. I understand he is talented but totally out there.

[@VassilisArt]

4.30"- 5.05"... Very epic and religion,,,

[@JUANREVI]

Thanks for the video....whe should stop thinking about syncopation as if it were some kind of weird exception....is just using all the time notes. What is not natural is to stick to 2 and 4...boring! SYNCOPATION don't exist really, we should call rock beats...LIMITATION.

[@danielkrawiec9859]

Juan Revi Agreed.

[@29dave]

He's nutty but awesome

[@MrGreglarry]

Crazy genius ... on another level.
