Performance Spotlight: Jimmy Branly

[@markwesleycurranmusic]

Saw Jimmy Branly playing with Keiko Matsui last night at Cerritos Center. Mind blowing drummer!

[@DerekPalizay2]

I am not sure why I have not heard of this guy?!?!?! He just shot to the top of my list of fav drummers.

[@drummerzarate]

i founded yesterday, when i was looking a video of a guitar player Gilberto Gonzalez, i saw him there and inmediately got my attention, is completely amazing i dont know at this point if Negro Hernandez is going to be as my # 1 latin drummer, after know this guy, both are incredible but this drummer has like a complete book of latin grooves.

[@gringo_do_pandeiro6761]

same story here and hub the most tasty dude like he has always been there....

[@SuperAnimalDrummer]

If I could play drums like this, I'd never leave the house

[@franciscowidmer]

I think the same thing hahahaha!

[@acteondogs]

I never leave home (mostly), because of studing! :D

[@MsAnamarys]

Estoy muy orgullosa de ti mi hijo!!! tremendo trabajo!!!

[@cabogallo]

[@thaniasanz]

Super Cool! Jimmy me siento feliz de verte y ver tu talento escuchando!!

[@sjograas]

Wow, fantastic playing! And I've never even heard of him. Great drum sound as well.

[@JusticeConstantine]

Jimmy Branly's drum solo with the mallets and brushes is refreshing (a nice break from Gospel Chops).

[@theavenger3363]

Beautiful playing

[@DJAGOJazz]

AWESOME performance !!!!

[@Demetriwalker]

Glad to see him on here.

[@archibaldikowski3646]

first time seeing this guy and i have no idea who he is, but his feel and independence are great!

[@Bren28]

Great to see another video of Jimmy playing, there's not enough, He's phenominal!

[@quickstep2408]

the scene from drumset artists of cuba with a young raul pineda and young jimmy will always be immortalized in my mind for some of the best cuban drumming i've heard

[@m.a.nathaniel7660]

What a drummer…..wow ! Dynamics and flow are outstanding !

[@raymondkarlsson9794]

Wow! Unbelievable playing. Both chops and feeling in a class of his own.

[@BobSchoepenjr]

Besides the spectaculair performance can we give a hand 👍🏾for the sound& footage? 😲

[@rafaelferrer1]

GREAT VIDEO OF JIMMY, GREAT SOUND AND MUSICALITY.

[@freebird3190]

[@brianmcguire5175]

My jaw on the floor. So lyrical!

[@NoloCuban]

A master at work. Wow! Beautiful video too!

[@richardstardust2355]

It's been a long way from performing in the instruction video Cuban drumset players recorded in Cuba (on vhs) directed by the late great drummer/instructor mr. Chuck Silverman, Jimmy you're awesome.

[@DavidePettirossi]

Great great drumming! I liked a lot! Lots of influence and a beautiful and articolate sound! Chapeau! Dave

[@Joelle-elle]

articolate??? articulate?

[@netzah3488]

[@jazzyjester6400]

Amazing drummer, I need to learn those timba patterns!!!! So groovy

[@alejandrofughu4293]

Great enjoyable video Mr. Branly. You have an amazing sound. The snare is flawless...and the kit is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for the video!

[@paulolocatelli419]

[@dariostarace]

Outstanding.

[@93davve93]

Oh yes, really nice!

[@innerjazz1]

Nice work Jimmy! I hear some Dave Weckl in your playing, yet you have your own style which is absolutely refreshing. Goodness Gracious, can't wait to hear you play some more!!!

[@RicardoFarfanPercusion]

Cubaaaa! Jimmy, sabroso!

[@JulianFernandez]

great touch

[@adamalexander8864]

Those drums sound amazing

[@ORUS2012]

i wonder who could be the two brainless people that could dislike this performance , well is obvious that there are haters everywhere on this world who just dislike this because they can not do it , i know this guy from my country (cuba) and he is not just anybody , i used to go to the concerts on the 1990's where he played with just 16 or 17 years of age with cuban musicians that could be easily compared to herbie hancock and chick corea , so today this guy is a master and it was not for magic , aahh and of course that feeling or way of play comes from our roots pure afro cuban music .

[@STIXAHOY]

Not heard of him till now. Holy shit amazing. This is a musician who happens to play drums

[@drummakid101]

This guy is too clean… My laptop screen suddenly became 100x clearer.

[@raffa1983]

INDIPENDENCE!! GROOOOOVE!! MUSICAL TASTE!!! HUGE FEEL!! AWSOME DRUMMER!

[@Tickk14]

awsome solo

[@charlesbelin3474]

Amazing!

[@HenryPerez_royal_hp]

What the......fudge, this dude is incredible!

[@drumz47]

Jimmy Branly is a cuban born percussion/drummer who is quite unique. He is one of the few lat in drummer that play TIMBA.. Research drummers of cuba on you tube and you will see a different side of clave . Jimmy inspires me to relax and let it flow.

[@drumz47]

Just came back from CUBA and had a wonderful time experiencing the whole cuban culture staying with a family . They treated me like I was one of their own with so much love and patience. These people have progress because they are not separated by racism or bigotry or jealously,they are true survivors and show tremendous love . The music and rhythm of the country is extremely infectious. I can't wait to go back before the american companies spoil the real cuban culture. So blessed. Peace

[@Jordarr8994]

god damn this dude is amazing and i'm so upset i've never heard about him until today

[@thebarak]
