OMAR HAKIM Clinic • HI-END REIMAGINED • Pearl Drums

[@dibber43]

Omar's list of collaborations is like a who's who of the music business...the guy is a LEGEND.

[@Rythym4god]

Although I had heard of Omar due to Modern Drummer magazine in the early 80s, I hadn’t heard him play until Sting’s Bring On The Night live record. That album blew me away overall, but it definitely cemented in my brain the name Omar Hakim. He is still a joy to watch and listen to!!

[@poyart]

The best for me!! I still have a poster signed by him in my room. Omar hakim was having a caipirinha on the beach promenade in front of their hotel in Ipanema. Timidly I approached and asked for an autograph! The year was 1989 and that Brazilian Madonna tour was unforgettable!

[@BobbyJetty1502]

Just like fine wine……..better..smoother and worth the wait. My brother is timeless

[@bibicassenoisettes1442]

Master ! One of the five ( Collaiuta, Weckl, Chambers, Philips) everything seems easy , he always take pleasure and fun when he play , god bless him

[@johnpop5066]

Love how he hits one crown note. Well, just one of the things I love about Omar Hakim!

[@dougmasters681]

Incredible drummer! Always an inspiration to me. No matter what he plays,he lifts you up into his realm of positivity and incredible Rhythm! Great Vid and Solo!

[@jdecker9834]

1st time I saw Omar was at the Tower Theater in Philly with Weather Report in the early 80s. As a young aspiring drummer I was utterly blown away. Been following his storied career all these years. It's been a pleasure.

[@fabriceleclaire3306]

That's what happens when 2 great wonders meet each other. Thumps up Omar and Pearl...

[@cobra1010]

Omar is a fantastic drummer with such a great style! This man is world class, there can be no doubt!

[@christophermangrum5905]

I first heard of Omar Hakim from my drum teacher in college. I knew of him from Night Music with David Sanborn and saw how versatile his playing was which amazed me how he could transition from one style of music to the next on that show. My teacher was so impressed by him that he told me about Omar which I checked him out even more. What a greatly talented musician Omar is.

[@brett5307]

My hero since ‘86! Love ya man!!!

[@eldergeektromeo9868]

Whatever Omar does, its smooth! Very Smooth! Thanks Omar!

[@jlutzudrums9142]

Respect fort OMAR HAKIM (GENIUS FANTASTIC DRUMMER FOR ALWAYS) GOD BLESS YOU OMAR HAKIM j'ai eu la chance de l'applaudir en 1991 au Festival International de Jazz à Vienne dans le sud est de la France à 50 kilomètres de la Ville de Lyon, ou il jouait lors de la tournée avec HERBIE HANCOK (Piano), WAYNE SHORTER (Saxophone) & STANLEY CLARKE (Bass) On ne peut pas oublié le fantastique travail qu'il a créé à la batterie avec JOE ZAWINUL de 1982 à 1984 en studio et en tournée, ensuite le 1er Album solo de STING en 1985 et la tournée qu'ils avaient fait avec STING pour cette album avec le fantastique bassiste de MILES DAVIS, DARRYL JONES à la Basse et le regretté Pianiste & Keyboardist KENNY KIRKLAND et le génial saxophoniste BRANFORD MARSALIS ou alors ces mythiques prises de batterie en 1983 pour l'Album (Let's Dance) de DAVID BOWIE ou alors sa prise telluriques sur le titre (Blue Jean) toujours de DAVID BOWIE et le fabuleux travail accompli lors de la Tournée de Madonna en 1993, Bref OMAR HAKIM est un batteur de légende c'est clair !!!!!.

[@adityatyagi4009]

Omar Hakim's flow is amazing!

[@JimmyNuisance]

Damn, those are some fantastic sounding snares right there.

[@MrTkeddo]

Carrying the torch for Weather Report 👏

[@citydrums7525]

Hakim gathers force like an avalanche--then engulfs you with sound...

[@micheletripaldi1966]

God bless you Master!

[@ronjon5386]

Drums found fantastic. Omar is great

[@moshudoduwade219]

This is the Drummer who played with/for Dire Straits! WOW! What a kit player! Best kit-player ever in my book!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😔🤩

[@doublea7054]

The main snare rules!

[@patesposito140]

I was lucky enough to watch Omar play in his junior high school… JHS 172 queens Ny. You just knew he was special even back then

[@kevinleboeuf5169]

Such tasty playing. Omars drumming turns a good song into a great song and makes a great song an all time classic!!!

[@JeremySmith-sx9oe]

[@Sipercalifristico]

[@ArnelleX-us9yo]

I haven't seen Omar in years...He is a Jamaica Queens native...He looks healthy and sound strong on the kit!!!

[@davidcurtis4478]

Always loved Omar's playing 👍👍

[@hollowoxdvox3896]

What a sound. Tasty playing

[@Helmut-HMRock-Meyer]

Nice! Pearl Drums Great!

[@JulioFalavigna]

OH=Fluid and musical, as always... Sound engineer just loved that top main snare mic +++ dbs on the mix, right?:)

[@bozzolanmusic3617]

Omar is my idol !!!!

[@je3333]

Masterclass 💪😀

[@gerrybyrd4775]

Superior creativity. Omar is incredible.

[@carlosclerigadrums]

Wonderful musician!!

[@orionvassi]

Omar is probably the best tight groove drummer out there. I want to hear more minimalistic funk-pop rhythms in the solo.

[@carlosborjascastro3889]

Great combo Pearl, evans ec2 clear top and bottom, sound fu****** great my god ❤

[@fivestars0528]

I think EC2 is great combi with not only Pearl but also Sonor SQ1 SQ2, DW Collector, and Dixon Artisan. Evans has wonderful tom heads; G12(or G14), G2, Black Chrome, and Hydraulic, but EC2 is back to basic.

[@bdbop]

Outstanding. Wow.

[@guyharrison4644]

Incredible...it`s all there....

[@Outloud444]

Wow - sounds amazing - nice job

[@sanidan2010]

Never disappoints.

[@borgullet3376]

Those rack toms sound sublime, but those floor toms ? It's as if a New frequency has been discovered. The Key of O.

[@joewhittle801]

I’m not a Pearl guy, but I feel they’ve had a solid handle on making killer sounding floor toms for a couple decades now

[@michaelhurwitz56]

Love it!

[@robcozart920]

These drums sound SO good… snare is amazing, rack toms sound much more open, and those floor toms… wow. What’s the secret on those?! Amazing job, Pearl!

[@Р.Лаптанович]

Секрет ещё в его собственном звукоизвлечении и ощущении инструментов.

[@pearlguy6351]

Really unique setup toms are not traditionally in order very interesting 🤔

[@angelorasmijn7306]

I love his collaboration with Victor Bailey.

[@Jakelyn7133]

He makes a nice job on Ozmosys and the live album "Bring on the night" from Sting.

[@pmillergroove1]

I still watch his solo on “I Burn For You.” Absolutely epic…

[@petermorton31]

He is amazing!

[@PearlDrumsUS]

Omar used Evans EC2S clear tom heads on this kit.

[@MoscowDrummer]

@@PearlDrumsUS Thaks. Need info about snare and bass drum.

[@artsal]

[@joannblondin8980]

To me he sounds better on his older kit BLX but I mean this wonderful drummer sound fantastic

[@stanfordkoch1271]

Is that a pearl bassdrum pedal?

[@PearlDrumsUS]

Yes, he is playing an Eliminator Redline Double Bass Drum Pedal in the video... pearldrum.com/products/drum-pedals/eliminator-2050-series/eliminator-redline-belt-drive-double-pedal
