[@Tagger0325]

[@williamkleitsch1153]

John V is a treasure.

[@kaelmoffat2198]

I second this motion!!!

[@golmanijev]

​@@kaelmoffat2198He might be the most relevant drum set player on the planet! By this, I mean that he IS the connective tissue, an organic connection as it were, to where the drum set, as well as everything we do on the drum set, sprouts from! Being a Serb myself, I love the fact that his last name clearly points to his Serbian heritage. 😄🥁🇷🇸

[@cjslezak]

Love that the bass player and pianist in the first half are part of the Stanton Moore Trio.

[@Beelzebop2U]

One of my favorite videos on New Orleans drumming ever...Absolutely love Johnny Vidacovich , Plus Herlin Riley is such an inspiration and the real deal...Been a big fan of Herlin's playing for years, ever since I bought this vid back in the eighties and been following his career ever since. I wish this was re-released on DVD again ...Thanks for posting this Brian, wonderful . 😎

[@BrianTCarter]

How are there only 3 comments here. These drummers are amazing. I particularly love Herlin Riley. His feel, improvisational ability and spirit are just over the top. Thanks for posting this Brian!!!

[@korbendallas7181]

[@justinbailey7953]

So happy I found this today! Thank you Johnny, Herlin and cheers to the fellas. Much love.

[@idogillan]

Johnny Vidacovich is a brilliant drummer.

[@lamontmitchell8164]

I'm a percussionist that's just starting to work with a jazz quartet playing Monte Alexander And A Jamal's material but I'm going to introduce some of the New Orleans rhythms to the tunes. Thank you guys. The football game is on but I put on headphones and heard the entire video!

[@SamanthaGobert]

this is GOLD thank you so much for sharing this

[@444chez]

Finding this was like finding gold. Thanks !

[@sawdustcrypto3987]

Bless you for posting this

[@ryebread7224]

I always laugh at him calling the clave a “claw-ve.” Love these videos!

[@pauldrumwell4922]

Thank you for posting this video, I haven’t seen it for years.🙏🏻🥁

[@robvriens8812]

Awesome grooves all 2 hours long. Thanks for uploading this gems

[@omphotonola]

Two geniuses of New Orleans drum playing.

[@jay_sun_michael]

Thank you for sharing this! I've been looking for this forever. It's out of print. I borrowed this vhs from my old drum teacher back in the early 90's and never got a copy for myself. Now I do. 🥁😎

[@evosolutionsllc.910]

I've been trying to find this since I was a child..😂

[@LocaliLLocano]

This is gold. Thank you

[@srklgk]

This video is a gem!

[@CarlHamilton1914]

What a gem! Thanks for posting this

[@adrianpaulwynne]

Amazing playing and very educational 👏 👏 👏

[@AlexanderSeleznov]

Absolutely fantastic!!!

[@chuckharling]

Hey Brother, nice hip checking with you Saturday!

[@staypuffraps]

This is amazing! Even with that awful hiss. There are too many non New Orleans folks trying to "teach" this stuff but dont feel it like someone born and raised in it.

[@shapshooter7769]

Second line stuff is hard to replicate abroad, just like most Brazilian and African rhythms are difficult to play authentically by a foreigner.

[@thebeatclinic9000]

I think of music styles like a foreign language. To truly understand the language and nuances then living in that place helps, but the doesn't mean that someone outside that country or place can't be fluent. That's like saying someone can't learn a foreign language and we know that just isn't true.

[@staypuffraps]

@@thebeatclinic9000 as someone who lives in New Orleans and speaks a foreign language, i understand where you are coming from. But this comes from experience of hearing folks that understand the concepts vs folks that feel the music. There is a gap between the two.

[@Slickmickyoyo97]

Great vid, definitely filmed no earlier than 1986 based upon those big Sabian top logos (they started out in 1982 with small bottom logos only). I would say 1986 on the nose.

[@noahv8671]

If that’s true, then Nicholas Payton is 13 here! Probably a few years later than that

[@GoAndPractice]

Herlin’s solo in 5 at the beginning of his half of the video is insane

[@willdrums711]

thanks for uploading!

[@CorrieDickMusic]

oh hey

[@stephenpopovichl122]

Great player and educator

[@paulmarr7873]

This guy's accent is awesome

[@Indoman_71]

I'm Gen X and I had to look for the tracking dial to clear up the blurry video. Damn, not a VCR.

[@sunflowerguy5314]

I wish Idris Mohammed was on this also. He could swing and make his swing funky

[@pietrobagaloni4722]

What's the name of the first song? Thanks

RIP Bob Saget, never knew he was into New Orleans drummers

[@ThomasBeck-y3y]

[@quartzbedmusicchannel7605]

💚🫰🫰🫰🫰🌟

[@woodygould]

Great, but wtf was goin’ on with JV’s hair!?

[@bradlloyd6261]

No vid I see

[@DavidMScott-cs8pp]

Well as a drummer of 83 years and still active I find it hard to believe that this is considered New Orleans rhythm. This definitely has a Afro/Latin beat. The street beats I heard in N.O. were definitely military style like he demos. I have played a lot of Dixie and never like he starts this video ??

[@Luchomonte.drums2016]

who is the first drummer in this video? he is awful

[@kawabungadad8945]
