Matteo Mancuso plays Spain at NAMM Day Three! 01-27-24

[@marcususa]

I am also amazed by the drummer on the Elmo drum set.

[@cohalensadventures5331]

SmackPac drum kit

[@t.seank.529]

Playing that soft and that tempo ain’t easy!

[@consulentecomunicazionestr3072]

Gianluca Pellerito studied over 3 years at Berklee college, and is one of the most interesting young drummers today. Please look at his videos.

[@marcususa]

@@consulentecomunicazionestr3072Serves me right!! I took guitar and drum lessons at a local music shop, and I got into Berklee with drumming as my principal instrument. I chose that because I completely suck on guitar. Well, when I got there to sign up for classes other students told me no one comes to Berklee to drum and that I should switch to guitar if I could. I did, and while I am glad I studied some guitar for a year, I still suck at guitar. I am thinking of going back to drumming if I can sort out some arthritic issues in my hands.

[@uisguexjack]

I'll tell you what.... I'm looking this dude up right now and next the Bass player. The whole thing is kind of hard to believe. @@consulentecomunicazionestr3072

[@33karamy]

The bassist and the drummer are amazing too

[@vituskyper]

Vero! trio eccezionale e molto affiatato

[@michellelanden3017]

Yes that little tiger drum set lol....he's good

[@GaetanoLetiziaMusic]

I used to be jealous and intimidated by this cat, but I grew up and now I’m inspired and motivated by him. What a great leader and example of how good we can be. At 72 my playing got energized by Matteo. Love to meet him and congratulate him. ✝️

[@Nherdvous]

And he's still a young guy! Imagine how his playing will progress over the decades!

[@guitarttimman]

I once had a stroke, and I was trying to relearn how to play the guitar. I took lessons from Kerry Mott who taught me jazz. I was struggling to get back good again so I was jealous, but the dude still taught me. He's a great guitarist millionaire who stays out of the lime light. He's a good dude. He can cover anyone. I've even seen him cover Frank Gambale and play just as well as him. I regained my skills to. I can play this. But , I'm a fan of this guy. He's remarkable.

[@guitarttimman]

​@Nherdvous I grew up in the 60's and 70's. By the time I was 12 years old, I could play it all, but, I experienced a stroke when I was 17 years old, and I had to relearn how to play the guitar. It was a nightmare.

[@omko73]

Wish ur well and jamming now

[@gregoryblock8235]

I’m 105 and just learned guitar.

[@GUIDESPERSPECTIVE]

Drummer was cooking some chop suey! 🔥

[@mottahead6464]

Gianluca Pellerito electrifies that drum kit.

[@nmitrading]

Drummer is freakin insane. Dude this Matteo is something else

[@51224-w]

It's not "just scales" as someone is saying, it's the dance among pentatonic-diatonic-chromatic, the phrasing. Whoever loves Parker or Django or Coltrane or early Martino or Holdsworth etc. can easily relate to this style

[@ICRA95]

I personally prefer some tasty and beautiful stuff, not a battle of using scales and boxes. Guess I don't like jazz , but I like jazz singers. I prefer Mateus Asato over Mancuso

[@NAETEMUSIC]

While Matteo has played masterfully, and certainly this was a technical masterclass, the note choices here kind of left me scratching my head as none of it seemed to fit all too well which is weird because based on his Cherokee solo dude is masterful. I’ll chalk this up to just jitters from having so many judgmental eyes on you this being Namm

[@ryosuketkakahashi]

You can tell that these three have been playing together for a while and know how to communicate well when jamming. Very nice

[@chumbels]

That drummer is killing it with2 drums.

[@pierlo2498]

He’s name is Gianluca Pelllerito and yes, he’s a hell of a drummer!!

[@caprise-music6722]

Yes excellent drumming

[@gdawgs101]

Dude is absolutely out of his mind on the sticks!

[@TheMicheal1968]

not only Matteo plays ! Perfect trio!

[@michael.a.m]

Mateo's solo was unreal, but how perfect was his comping for the bass solo!?

[@francesconesta6058]

Watched them live two weeks ago at their first live in the US. These guys are unreal and so in sync. Wish them so much luck. Italian talents is not just Sanremo bullshit..

[@eduardoallo8786]

next level of musicianship...future is here

[@amart23]

this is nuts...one of my fav jazz tunes and in the top 3 best renditions ever IMO. and to think these dudes are just jamming at NAMM. freaking insane. level 1 billion

[@briangeorgebowes]

Matteo is a legend in the making. I can't wait to see what else him and his crew get up to.

[@RM-gm7lu]

Dude it's insane, I can't belive this ...unbelievable tasty creative lines 😮‍💨

[@kaelinjoel9328]

This trio is nuts.

[@nettotourokuyou]

It's been decades since I listened to Spain with such excitement!!!!

[@pimtelman]

That drummer is really good!

[@cohalensadventures5331]

And his first time playing that SmackPac kit! He adapted well!

[@AlexVonCrank]

It's not just his technique. His storytelling and ear are out of this world!!!

[@colossodirodi4340]

Matteo's guitar solos are smoother than a saxophone solo. Nuclear precision on harmonic progression. Absolutely brilliant, brilliant. No one in the world in the history of human guitarists has ever played like him.

[@thepelch7285]

Slow it down. There have been greats before and there will be greats after

[@Nichi-Ji]

Bro doesn’t know Guthrie Govan exists

[@x3a3x3]

Not even Matteo would agree with that..

[@Pladderkasse]

Dude, Allan Holdsworth created his own musical language, scales, chords and all. I mean, this guy is good, but he's not on that level.

[@cameronmason4452]

@@Nichi-Ji Guthrie isn't even a master lol what are you on. Ever heard of Pat Martino?

[@michaeltedore6190]

Greatest trio on the planet today!

[@BrunoRotella]

Thanks for all the jazz music northen people jeje Saludos de oriental

[@paulreese3071]

This is yet another example of how many levels of musicianship there are out there. Not to take any thing away from those musicians who achieved commercial success, but these guys are technically on a very high level!!!

[@StingrayJay302]

Commercial success has less to do with musicianship and more to do with post production editing

[@drumtwo4seven]

Rock musicians are on average technically bland, stylistically as well. That's why the traver baker's are so popular Jazz musicians are on average the opposite... Proficient and exciting to listen to

[@benaiahwright937]

Virtuoso

[@Soldano999]

@@drumtwo4seven jazz is not music. It's nerds jamming for nerds who can pat each other in the back.

[@Arycke]

​@drumtwo4seven Matteo doesn't classify himself as jazz musician, nor anything. Closest was fusion. He loves rock and jazz. It's lit.

[@PenkkiPekka]

This drummer surely was on a right gig.

[@williamshaneblyth]

all three are awesome. i need three eyes to watch each one of them a modern super group

[@lutfiramly4168]

Wow the drummer 😮

[@xotni]

Dude everyone is absolutely on fire! The drummer though... keeping rhythm like gravity keeping the earth from going off course.

[@Paololosax]

ma la cosa più bella è che matteo, come i suoi amici, ha una faccia pulita. Lo è anche la sua giovane età e la sua musica. una bella immagine dell'italia

[@lupash]

Bass player is killing it and flowing with the music, he plays his part without even thinking about it and is fully aware of what his band mates are playing.

[@aaronocelot]

I like that he plays fingerstyle, and super clean at that.

[@365dongle3]

Right hand and left hand skills, something the best classical/Spanish guitarists strive for.

[@donkloos9078]

What an absolute BLAST watching the interplay between these three and how much fun they're having together. It goes without saying how phenomenal Matteo's playing is, but the bass and drummer are both awesome in their own right. Great drum solo at the end...fun.

Show the Drummer love too. Towards the end he was playing off tempo yet still holding on to the beat by a thread at the same time. Amazing timing, and skill! Bravo!

[@cohalensadventures5331]

Gianluca Pellerito had never played that particular kit before that day! (It was provided by the booth so drummers wouldn't have to schlep their kits around the NAMM booths.) Riccardo Oliva is solid on bass as well. They all play so well together.
