Learn To Drum In ANY Style with Gregg Bissonette

[@Utcheeow]

This man is just unbelievable. Not only is he among the most versatile drummers ever, but he is also a human rhythmic encyclopedia, and in every single note, pattern, groove or fill played we can appreciate all his love for the instrument, immense technical background and curiosity and enthusiasm for everything he plays. A true legend and an example for every musician in the world.

[@juanpichardo46]

This is one of the best drum lesson I’ve ever seen. He’s spot on.

[@JoshWood1000]

Absolutely the best lesson! Thank you !

speaking of voices, he's doing Winnie the Pooh V.O. work; also - he's like the other Dom Famularo - an excellent ambassador for the drumming community.

[@AaronLevyDrums]

One of the top guest appearances on Drumeo!!

[@countzero1972]

Gregg Bissonette... He is 'everyman's" drummer.. Amazing understated chops.. completely unpretentious and positive. I think he is my fave musician in general

[@billbigler1366]

I said this in another post to another Gregg lesson with Dave Atkinson. This echoes the other Comments here. You don't see so much such an outstanding player and teacher who also seems like such a great person. Funny, smart, talented and enough energy for four people.

[@drumpoet3]

Outstanding! Bissonette is so fluid, versatile and just plain fun to listen to. I bet Ringo learns as much from him as he does from Ringo. Bravo!

[@deadshot4245]

for sure. Jeff porcaro is one of my favorites wish he was still around

[@timfairfield407]

I play guitar and I love this. Such a musical lesson to understand where these styles and rhythms come from. Every player should watch this.

[@polydactylstrangle]

Epic lesson. Himself and Roth chatting after 24 'espressos' back in the day must have been amazing.

[@dav.trinch8643]

One of the most versatile Drummers, I adore this man, and his super feeling.

[@jerryolivermason6760]

Ever since Roths solo album when I learned his double-bass shuffle, I have been a Greg Bissonette devoted listener! He's the real deal!

[@rich3858]

One of my absolute favorit drummers. Honest, humble, pro, earthy, and a great teacher! Btw: that kit looks amazing

[@theelephant2887]

I`ve been following Mr. Gregg since the early 90's. Love this guy.

[@victorkhonglah]

It's amazing what this man can do with his minimal kit! Definitely drives home the fact that we don't need trinkets and decorated kits to be able to play well. Huge respect for this man!🙏

[@rtanidean4931]

Dang. The epitome of what a top professional drummer can do- wow. Mad skills. TY.

[@MW-pv7rm]

He’s so knowledgeable about sooo many genres of music......and he’s an expert in each one. One of my favorite drummers and he’s such a nice guy.

[@ediot6969]

Love the lesson. Amazing to here how in love he is with drums/music after so many years, while uplifting those before him and his peers alike. Truly one of the greats that has influenced players and will continue to. True example of humbleness.

[@brianphillips9152]

Gregg looks great and sounds sharp as ever. He's one of those who can play with energy and excitement and match that with talent and innovation.

[@Jath2112]

This is more of a life lesson than a drum lesson. He has one of the best attitudes I have ever seen.

[@af7119]

I went to a Gregg Bissonette drum clinic as a 12 year old boy in the 90s in Arlington Heights Illinois. Inspiring, humble, and contagious energy. Kicked off the next 30 years of drumming for me.

[@czardrum]

I had the opportunity to see him live. Its impressive how even the most simple stuff sounds so good.

[@mathcoreable]

He was the second drum clinic I attended as a kid, great memories

[@eriksmithdrummer]

Great seeing Gregg as enthusiastic and amazing as ever! First heard him on Maynard Ferguson "Live in San Fransisco" in 1983, then live with David Lee Roth in 88. One of the true greats of our time.

[@josteinv.jordet257]

One of the true greats together with you!

[@paulyates8762]

Love Gregg' s playing. Switched onto him after hearing him on one of the original Buddy Rich video tapes. One of the most musical yet underrated drummers of all time! Great job Drumeo, captured Gregg's abilities of a player very well!!!

[@jonathanwalther]

Hard to say, if underrated. I know him since 20 years. His versatility and musicality hooked from the first moment on, too. And his fluency is on a level with Dave Weckl.

[@drmoze]

I met Gregg at Beatles on the Beach (Delray FL) this past weekend. Amazing drummer and totally friendly and genuine in person. Great stories and drumming insights too. Motivated me to get behind the kit after a hiatus (random life stuff). He makes drumming look smooth, easy, and fun, amazing repertoire of styles. Thanks Gregg!

[@michifsi18]

This is real musicality, superb musicianship; he has a pure love for music. Big thanks from Germany to Drumeo for creating this kind of content!

[@bogartsandoval]

I still think he is underrated compared to any other great online.

[@vinnieveneziano2751]

Gregg & Kenny Aronoff are 2 of the best teaching drummers in MHO!!!! They both have a great mindset that I love.....I'll never be as great as a want to be, but I'm willing to spend the rest of my life trying to be as great as I can be!!!!! Great words to live and drum by!!!!!

[@mickeysticks]

Gregg is the best. Sincerely. Got it all, inside and out. My biggest inspiration for twenty years. Who doesn’t want to get better when they listen to him?

[@Raphaeldrums]

I really hope GRegg will come in Italy again and maybe bring his drumcamp. Love him!!! GREAT DRUMMER!!

[@RoccoSoundTube]

It's always a pleasure to watch Gregg's lessons. I love his passion for drumming.

[@yambu007]

Gregg seems like a cool guy to talk to about music because of how excited he gets about it. A truly drum geek if you ask me

[@fidorclatrowsky1983]

definitely one of the best drummers who have come to this land, super educated and with an affable personality........

[@dmntuba]

Unbelievable musician! He gives music a flow and helps it tell it's story...A True Artist 👍

[@creativefunmoment8]

I saw him at a drum clinic in montreal ,back in the day he was with mapex drum . What a great evening!

[@alfiend331]

I've been a GB fan since I first heard Eat Em & Smile. Back then there was no KZbin, so all I could do was try to listen to albums he played on and read articles about him. Fast-forward these many years and we're all able to dial up any and all things Gregg Bissonette anytime anywhere. He's so fun to watch and can play any style. No one ever mentions that he can sing, but he can do that, too--as evidenced by the intro track on this video!

[@SimonHintonNZ]

Gregg's Drumming personifies the type of Drummer I'd like to be!! Dynamics, Musicallity, Style, Passion! 🙌🙌

[@21Danieltbs]

I love love love this guy!! That passion and energy could power up a whole continent. What a great human being. This was a much needed push since I've been slacking off lately and now I can happily start practicing again. Thank you Drumeo!!

[@DenEz_TV]

I remember watching Gregg Bissonette on VHS for the first time in a Russian jazz school back in 1998. He has always been a true pro and still is my favorite videoschool guy amongst others of that time like Dave Weckl, Dennis Chambers, Omar Hakim etc. It was so cool to see a guy with such versatile way of playing, like some cool punk hippie guy with crazy drum abilities in almost every genre. Thank you, Gregg, you are a great teacher and person!

[@victorydesigngroup1066]

Don't know what I love more about Gregg B. His drumming or his humor ! Big fan !

[@DiegoCattaneo]

I love this man and his shoes. I had an old instructional tape of him playing with the same all stars. I watched it 100 times

[@babsie_72]

The best! He can play any kind of music; make it his own. Always a perfectionist! Love this guy1!

[@sleepwhenimdead9667]

He's a runaway train, but my god the GROOVE is so amazing. What an awesome and truly versatile player. Totally blown away, Great energy.

[@cristiangarcia2118]

I love this guy. You can recognize him inmediatly because he has an unique touch. Congrats to Drumeo by this great stuff.

[@KurtI2525]

When Greg says you have to like the drumming of every style, he is spot-on. I like everything from prog to metal to punk to funk to disco to latin to jazz.

[@fransiboy]

NEVER EVER forget your quad expresso!!! best reason for watching this lesson - Does humor belong in teaching = 100% , it motivates to learn anything, anywhere, from anyone !

[@fatherof3husbandto1]

...........and this is why this man has been on the top musicians of all times call list. The list of who he hasnt played with would be easier to state than who he has. Absolute legend. Some of my favorite albums of all time have his name in the album liner notes. Hope he keeps going for a long time.

[@damian6863]

From buenos aires Argentina. I'm a guitar player but start to learn and love drum years ago when discovered Gregg playing the extremist for joe satriani.

[@johnrogers9481]

I hear you...hey, consider an electronic kit! They are amazing sounding and easy to set up or move around and great feel for great practicing. Plus, direct plugin to your DAW for recording

[@brandonhoffman9202]

@@johnrogers9481 Yeah, I've thought about that from time to time but playing "real" drums for so many years in gigging bands makes it just not the same. I will agree that they can fun though regardless.

Waaaay back in HS marching band, we performed Coconut Champagne as a drum solo, I played marimba. This song was my first intro to Gregg. Fan ever since.

GREGS DRUMMING IS SO UNDERATED....ONE OF THE BEST OUT THERE...

[@neilmoneymaker4875]

Been a fan of Gregg Bissonette since I first heard his drumming on David Lee Roth's solo album with Yankee Rose and Shy Boy. Amazing talent, and an amazing human being. I've never met him but I have a feeling.

[@marekgitarzysta5193]

What a drummer and a human being!!!! I DO NOT play drums, I play the guitar - but who cares. Listening and watching him gives me inspiration for years to come. And guys, fellow guitarists - remember - there is no good band without a solid rhythm section, some may even say your band is as good as your drummer is.

[@ThibautKurt23]

Yes right. For example listen to Randy Rhoads with Quiet Riot then with Ozzy Osbourne with Daisley and Kerslake on the rhythm section. The difference is blasting. Randy is a guitar god period. But with a solid rythm section he really could express himself

[@derekbaker2665]

OK. Ready for part 2! I saw Greg at a clinic about 20 years ago. An example he gave with playing to different styles was simply playing along to songs on the radio and start switching stations and play to whatever comes up. But you have to love all music.

[@jankymcjangles3817]

Greg is one of my favorite drummers. What a wonderful character and beautiful player.

[@pietdebeer7972]

I'm a professor of education and this is what REAL teaching is about

[@MarkThaSage]

Nice to hear him shout out Tomas Haake. That man is a machine and what he does in Meshuggah is legendary. Not many drummers revolutionize a genre like that.

[@LiquidAudio]

As all the others have said, easily one of, if not the best lesson on Drumeo. Gregg is such a great teacher, incredible drummer and lovely guy!

[@glengamble526]

I give the odd ‘clinic’ (more focus on the gear, than me) but one thing I tell younger drummers is to learn at least one type of groove from all the major music groups: rock, jazz, country, funk, reggae and blues. If you have at least one of each, then you can make your way through most situations. I compare grooves to tools-and as a ‘worker’ if you’re being called to a job, make sure you have at the least the right basic tools to do it right. Same basic premise as what Gregg is saying about variety. Very cool!

[@2007christian]

Gregg is just such a nice guy! A real pleasure to watch this interview.
