[@DNelson071]

[@ontheedje5199]

Lee, this must be the one of the most creative, immersive, passionate, entertaining drum solos I have ever seen!!!! You are blessed with a gift beyond compare. Keep sharing your talent with the world.

[@hermanmelville3871]

Finally a solo both the lay person and a drummer can appreciate. Great showmanship as well.

[@rmirabelle]

This was such a joy to behold. Such showmanship. Such groove. Such technique. Such creativity! A++

[@TheUltimateRantMedia]

Easily one of the most underrated musicians of all time

[@sanityinaseaofmadness7353]

Such an AWESOME showstopper of a solo. I'm not a Botti fan, but I'd pay good money to see Lee Pearson play...

[@WhirlwindDrums]

Some of the most ecstatic drumming I’ve ever seen! So creative, entertaining, and just…..wow!!! Been one of my favorite solos for years

[@rap401442]

That's a man living his dream! What a performance!

[@Ribsletics]

Love the sound of his drums.

[@BambamJim]

I was a big Spyro fan, and I remember watching Mr. Pearson ply his craft masterfully "back in the day." But I never saw this level of magic. This is phenomenal. Absolutely unforgettable. Lee Pearson has become a force of nature.

[@frankbarresi3480]

I saw Lee at Uptown Theatre in Napa...incredible. Great way to round out an awesome display of Botti's band!

[@adambloodfist3368]

Absolutely awesome! fantastic showmanship with the chops to match!

[@oldboy9267]

This man just played the air, and I swear I heard it.

[@Cherr1]

One of the most (maybe THE most) brilliant, inspired, and wonderful drum solos I've heard, and I've been playing for 50 years. I love the dynamics--volume dynamics, intensity dynamics, lyrical dynamics--the humor, and most of all the sheer joy of playing that is so evident here. Of course there's the phenomenal technique and the astounding technical ability, too. For most drummers these days, that seems to be all there is, but here those things are all in service to the musical expression. And in my book, being musical is the highest calling a drummer can aspire to. This sets a new benchmark and provides enough creative inspiration to keep me going for the next two years.

[@jeroldparker7766]

Lee Pearson = fresh beast!

[@haraldlenz2664]

The best Drummer over the World.famous..famous..

[@lukewoods5124]

I cannot believe my eyes and ears! extraordinary

[@songwomyn1]

Saw Chris Botti in concert last night in Vancouver, BC. Lee Pearson's drum solo was an incredible finale.

[@christopherreid2386]

That Drum Solo is the best, I am 69 years old and have listened to the best drummers from the late, 1930s to this day, Jazz is my style, and you, my gifted friend can stand with any musician in the world,

[@JoeVideo13]

Saw the show last night and was gobsmacked! Seen Peart, Palmer, Copeland and shot video of Gadd, but I never saw anything like your solo last night. Thanks for coming out and sharing your talents with us!

[@richardmilano4015]

Best drumming seen in my life so far. God Almighty Bless you.

[@ryw1118]

7 years and still watching and amazed!

[@rorygibson3124]

Such a light touch, and the groove is absolutely out of control! This man simply has it.

[@johnp162]

Amazing!!! Now thats alot of fun! Great skills! God Bless I am in line for the prayers now. Peace

[@marek3321]

Lee, I saw your show in Wroclaw yesterday. Absolutely stunning! You made my day!

[@cameronlundell9821]

He's got the showmanship of Pappa Joe Jones and the chops of Buddy Rich and then some! I just saw him with Chris Botti and the Oregon Symphony and I had to look him up on youtube and see him play again. The solo is astounding but to watch him play live with that band is something else again!

[@leepearson606]

I'm truly humbled and honored by your kind words!! Peace and blessings to you!

[@Fresh_I.S.C.]

best solo ive ever seen. tasteful and creative.

[@sticks206]

This is my first time seeing Lee, and I am totally blown away by your musicianship, style, timing, feel, approach, showmanship, originality, control, versatility, technique and love for the drums. You are in a league of your own.

[@huiteloopik6142]

[@leepearson606]

Thanks so much appreciate the love and support!! Please keep me in your prayers as I will do for you!!! Blessings to you and your family!

[@gustafsone]

Chris Botti knows how to pick them, that's for sure! I just came to this video from another Chris Botti drum solo video of when Billy Kilson was on tour with him. THAT was one of the best drum solos I've ever seen, and now I'm watching THIS. I'm just so glad that I gave up on the drums a long time ago. I still love messing around but to reach anything close to this level would be impossible for me. I'm just so happy that others are able to capture and upload these amazing performances for all of us to see.

[@otaypanky2]

Plant a groove seed in fertile soul and amazing things can happen. How great is it to see a musician so connected to what's inside them and be so intimate with their instrument that it just flows outward? I feel inspired after watching you play, Lee : )

[@mikaelandersson6927]

it`s amazing...just amazing! Thanks for this...Lee Pearon!! my favorite drum solo ever!!

[@rayfabbri3759]

The tone on the invisible drum climb up is incredible. Thank you.

[@Monoblock]

Burr brought me here and he wasnt lying. He's killing it.

[@leepearson606]

[@DHaynesakafingerrs]

+Lee Pearson God Bless you Mr. Pearson! :)

[@senormojo]

+Lee Pearson This is my kind of solo. I dare say it's not so much a solo as a track in it's own right : it's got impetus, movement, steam, direction. Magnificent.

[@Flassh81]

the Comedian bill burr mentioned you in a podcast today.glad he did.

[@jaystrass8608]

LEE, come on, u made me smile. Those thousands of hours of dedication really shows. love it, GREAT. JIM Strassburg drummer

[@patrickadams3284]

Wow! Saw this guy on Chris Botti Javajazz concert and had to find more solos. Lee did NOT disappoint

[@dannawilkins6213]

I was introduced to Lee Pearson's drumming last night at the Count Basie by Chris Botti. Damn, if he doesn't find the world's greatest musicians!

[@rayszymarek2920]

Lee Pearson an inspiration in drumming. What I am hearing and seeing is God Given talent. The man Lee is drumming from his heart. Notice how he gets soft soft and then uses dynamics I would say that many drummers out there today are great no doubt about it. I can hear Max Roach ideas in is playing and the chops are there. Without a doubt this man deserves all the recognition and then some. As a fellow drummer I admire him and will wait for more exciting drumming from this fine musician. thank you and God Bless You BOOM

[@haraldlenz2664]

Only the best Drummer Forever..

[@fenlondana9127]

just saw him at Lincoln Center with chris botti - his joy is infectious!

[@robertozijlstra3767]

I do not believe it can be better ever !!!

[@connyper1]

What a fantastic drum solo!!❤️🥁

[@edgenovese]

You're the Alan Dawson of your time. I saw him in a clinic in 1970~ I bought that kit hoping to sound anything like him. But of course I had no idea the master that he was. He wad just a ghost of texture ... You carry on this amazing tradition to a degree he would have loved...I loved Alan for his great humility and unsung place in Drumming history...Carry on this legacy Lee...Alan lives in you! God bless Ed Genovese composer/ Drummer

[@richardreyes5126]
