Meinl Cymbals - Rodney Holmes - "Ghost"

[@reaganmoreno5976]

This channel is raising the bar for the number of promotional videos a company can (and should) push. Props to Meinl for being aggressive in their marketing.

[@ajgdrums24]

Well, I think it goes beyond promoting their cymbals. I think they're doing what they can to support their artists :)

[@barad-dur9236]

AJ Glick their first and foremost goal is to sell more cymbals. There’s no doubt about it.

[@AddiKolb]

@@barad-dur9236 well duh it’s a company👀

[@noahbirdrevolution]

Probably one of the most underrated drummers alive. Rodney is as fast as any other player who maintains feel/clarity, has an extremely diverse set of styles, and is as creative as anybody.

[@jameshall8455]

And T'CHALLA KING AND FRIENDS....My best friend plays BASS for the drummer. Tarron Crayton the next superstar. Huge Pres Release soon

[@Ariesmount]

I got to watch Rodney play with Steve Kimmock back in ‘06, from about 6’ away the whole evening. My mind was blown into little bits. I was particularly struck by the left foot technique on his hi-hat, rapidly floating it open and closed in 1/8 notes. I’d never seen anyone do that before or since.

[@chowchichang2922]

One of the last few drummers of that era that has serious chops but knows only when to interject with them tastefully! Brilliant ! Thanks to Meinl for this HD video showing Rodney in all his glory !!! Yes

[@grandtheftaudio3]

FINALLY!!! A video about drumming that is musical and not just some gospel chops, look at me, rhythmic gymnastics.

[@jorgealberto1666]

Hellyeah !

[@siuleopouesi5794]

Yeeeuuup. Gospel chops get repetitive after a while. Groove and phrasing for now

[@peterwalliste8232]

His playing is as awesome as this song, never heard of, but could now see and hear it everyday 😊😊😊

[@robvel4933]

what a drummer he is awesome

[@bourgeoisbrats]

... with Jimi Tunnell on vocals and guitar. He played this for me in his studio, a couple times. Very nice :-)

[@mikesmith5657]

Rodney Holmes is a monster! He makes everything look effortless. Best live drummer I’ve seen in person.

[@Alexgild81]

He is absolutely awesome! The song is beautiful!

[@JanPatrickLucas]

Rod "The God"! The blistering, signature chops show up but ONLY when it serves the song, never as a means to show off! His expressive playing style is so tasteful and truly unique! Not only an elite drummer but an incredible musician/ songwriter! This sounds amazing! "Twelve Months of October" was not just another album to me - It was extra special! I'm definitely hyped for Axiom! Bring it on Rodney!

[@thealchemist7819]

Jan Patrick Lucas Well said brother.

[@JanPatrickLucas]

@@thealchemist7819 Thank you Luka! Best wishes!

[@JerseyToTheBone]

I miss watching him play. My brother and I use to go Steve Kimock Band in Trenton, NJ at a long lost club known at the time as (The Conduit) and they had a little cafe restaurant next door, So before the show, we went for something to eat and ended up eating right next to the entire band. Steve, Rodney, Alfonz and I forget the other member.

[@TheBluesking17]

What a treat. Rodney covers all the bases......Smooth, technical, deep grooves.....just a monster.....Got my goose bumps for the day

[@cfyves]

Rodney is such a great player. Thank you for posting

[@Yakuo]

Thank you for playing Rodney! You inspire me to be a better drummer! Namaste. 🙏🌀🙏

[@jamman231]

Just an effortless groove & those flourishes... So slick, a joy to watch.

[@victorkoval3783]

MEINL produces excellent musical instruments, having made great progress in recent years. Special thanks for the sound quality, for any musical style. Thanks.

[@alonzovillarreal4666]

I had the pleasure of seeing him play many years ago, He is absolutely amazing

[@krazykalle4518]

Came to this channel because of periphery. I'm so glad I watched this video because I like the word "ghost". What an amazing drummer!

[@purpleheavyrain]

[@paulbentley2709]

Oh he's very good. Very very cool. Love that ice white kit in that setting. Gets round the kit so easily with that traditional grip.

[@ranierypontes]

Love to see Rodney playing, since I saw him in Wayne Shorter band. And his spectrum ride is so amazing.

How do drummers that hold sticks like this play rimshots??

[@devonscope6222]

Snare drum is tilted at an angle

[@viktormuerte]

Practice. 😁

[@jonmccallum4477]

Anyone else wish that guy was there to ask to play it slower so we could attempt to learn those chops ?

[@siuleopouesi5794]

Yeup lol thought the same thing

This guy is fucking amazing.

Hey are using a c-48 for room mic ❤️

[@andyham6094]

Damn my short ass arms would be so uncomfortable with the rack toms that far away from the snare. Lol. I need everything almost touching and compact. But Rodney has always had a unique set up and such a sick drummer. Always love how his Tama kits sound

[@romistako2938]
