Hadrien Feraud - PreSonus - NAMM 2012

Hadrian Feraud shows a crowd of onlookers how it's done at the PreSonus NAMM booth, Jan. 2012.

[@dnabey]

Excellent bass solos and the drum playing and solo cannot go without mention -- It's amazing work by the drummer in how he gets the dynamics of playing a real set out of that machine.

[@tiluriso]

First tune's called 'I Can't Help It', written by Stevie Wonder. At !0:15 they start MJ's classic 'Don't Stop 'Till You Get Enough'.

[@tiluriso]

Oh yeah, @ 15:08 they go into Jaco Pastorius' classic 'Teen Town'.

[@sevendaggers4678]

ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGS BY STEVIE - AND WOW ... three musicians

[@AaronKoskelainenBass]

Just unbeliavable playing by Hadrien! Bravo!

[@alariv8]

I would say that thanks to you Hadrien, it cannot get any better! :) Good job, guys! The first song's solo is ideal -- listen to it attentively and you will realize how music could actually speak Your language!

[@HADRIENFeraud]

LoL....not my best solo indeed,but post a video with your bass solo on the same song buddy...

[@afairbien]

[@incikevirag9812]

Bass King!

[@HarmonicInventions]

Man! I came in here to hear Hadrien, then I see the guy on the pads. Amazing!!

[@spacemanbose]

the first bass solo from 3:08 is so Good. listen to the growth of it, till the last passages on 5:08, with that chord ending...just amazing. I love also the way had groove, very original and deep. Good work mate!

[@foudayannick4073]

i agree with!!so groove and technical

[@HarmonicInventions]

He is a phenom!! I'll look for more of his stuff. Thanks!

[@manmonki]

Magnifique... Awesome ! Good job Guys..!!

[@aoxomoxoanyc]

Excellent Hadrien solo at 13:00. and Teen Town is fantastic.

[@stevencirile]

David is amazing ...period

[@HFGrooveMen]

@15:16... Thumb up for Alain Caron

[@niknotez]

Great Covers!!

[@rramos07]

Oh my....this video is an epic performance in disguise!! Hadrien executed such a rich harmonic path from 5:08 to 5:27 when the A section came in. Too beautiful to be overlooked!!! 5 brilliant stars!!!

[@bass42]

Hadrien is the master! What a grooves!

[@dannyboy1731]

I love also the tone the keyboardist is using

[@jordancastillo5251]

0:16 Erm...I don't think 5 strings is considered "way too many strings." Could be wrong though.

[@Spermwhales93]

He's David "Fingers" Hayes, he plays in a duo called the Electronic Jazz Ensemble with Kevin Keith, who's a phenomenal Chapman Stick player and Bass Guitarist.

[@JamesN.Gillan]

Great stuff...I'm taking up drumming soon!!! Bass and key players are top drawer too. Wish I could have been there.

[@jeremiasdepaula632]

muitoo bom, gostei pra caramba,, parabéns

[@Dentron1]

Randy, you're my Hero!!!

[@DaviRoutner]

Ladies & gentleman, Mr. Hadrien Feraud!

[@Ericgotajazz]

Very good!

[@ramywahib]

@WirSindRocker these are signature samples, made specially for Haynes. You can get similar ones in NativeInstruments' products.

[@Kuuuks]

Oh my God, Is Hadrien Human? He plays so effortless, I think he was born with a bass guitar in his hands for sure...

[@JMYBASS]

Wicked sick!

[@mylesbigboibassvernet6143]

whooooooo. hittin up that Michael. love the bass players sound

[@sm26801]

Hadrien has finally started grooving! Before it was just fast techniqual lines,but now he seem to have matured a bit!

[@tonypalumbobass]

practically on cue for when Hadrien comes into Teen Town... pretty funny

[@rufusbass]

yeah Hadrien.:)

[@Azkold]

It's M.Jackson's also (like the second track). Written for him by Steve Wonder.

[@Ferrum88]

I'm pretty sure it's "Espera" by Esperanza Spalding.

[@riquelmei]

Esperanza Spalding - I Cant Help It

[@ElijahGeorge]

Great work Hadrien! What scales or modes are you using in the solo for the first song?

[@presonus]

Nope, they're using PreSonus Studio One Professional 2.

[@educapro]

Nice job fellas.

[@FilipsGroove]

oh my God!

[@presonus]

At heart, yes he is. But we suspect he is really the last son of Bass Krypton.

[@Aleredes]

WOW!!!!! |o|

[@jonnyrokr]

is that eric clapton the the background walking at 7:38?

[@artemixtura]

que modelo de batería electrónica está tocando el baterista? de paso exelente drummer

[@edwinsanchezsoto]

it's "I can't help it"... I've head it from gretchen parlatto but I don't know whose is it.

[@ElijahGeorge]

Anyone know what scales and/or modes Hadrien is soloing with?

[@jeansantanabr]

which drum machine he is using and which hihat pedal is that?? so cool

[@milesnerenberg]

I think it sounds pretty killer, and it looks super fun for a non-drummer like myself to play.

[@evanjazzista]

Stevie Wonder. He wrote this song for Michael Jackson, it is featured on the latter's 1st solo album, "Off the wall".

[@777fiddlekrazy]

14:12 Tosin Abasi Thumb work. excuse me. This is where Tosin learns some of his chops. From GOOD Bass Players. These Guys are Incredible. Not easy to play drums this realistic on a touch pad dev. Very Impressive. Its No wonder Jada Wanted the Bass player in her line up.

[@hahabass]

I thought that was Me'Shell NdegéOcello who came into view at around 1:30?

[@joelee8917]

I've never seen that before........who makes it? Seems that guy's got it down.

[@Gerdellos]

Hadrien very often uses melodic minor scale modes to create tensions.

[@nekolnyfilip]

What?!?! Drums?!?! Wow

[@henniebogan1]

@clausloeber i think you misunderstood him... i think he's implying harden is a sick ass bass player... and it often seems like he has way more strings then he's playing? i don't know

[@xizake1]

15:35 Alain Caron is back there watching?

[@Davigomesdafonseca]

cool drums ...

[@CambiodeRumbo]

21:38 and Dennis Chambers? :)

[@funkbeastbasslover]

that word has been around for a while, sorry to burst your bubble lol

[@billkirbymusic]

What kind of drum pad is he using?

[@Chesky45]

What's the name of the first song they jam on?

[@fusionhar]

As "Drummer"?, any info. on Eqipment?

[@pidigi]

@8:00 --> the man is not a man, it's an alien

[@CambiodeRumbo]

15:50 Alain Caron at the back...

[@robertbubbylewis6570]

[@Martinmusic07]

[@Auto_Funk]

[@BARTOZZI-OFFICIAL]

michael jackson's debut solo album - off the wall. written by stevie wonder...

[@ATTILAMORGEN]

Great performance I like these guys and Presonus sounds great too ... I agree , it's a shame some posers like Phil Smith , Brad Johnson .. stalk on these musicians , I saw both on talkbass site ( the trash posers ) ...They should load some of their music stuff ...

[@marsavis]

Are they recording with Reaper??

[@drlukensteinbenitez1717]

footprints

[@c_loeber]

The presenter says: "on bass guitar, with WAY too many strings...". Sorry, but there are only ONE extra string on Hadriens bass and what is implied exactly? That only four strings is the only legitimate number of strings for a bass?

[@TheLifeofmusic8]

does the drummer play "actual drums"?

[@jpenguino]

what!

[@fukudasaisho]

maschine with addictive drums software

[@presonus]

LOL

[@Leifsounds]

If Bach had a bass...

[@Kuuuks]

Oh my God, Is Hadrien Human?

[@zdaas]

That word is older than you :O))))

[@annepalouma8605]

and that well known from Calcutta is a Champ ?? rofl ...anyway , that performance is sublissime ... thanks to Presonus

[@elykoko]

@clausloeber relax mate, it was a joke.

[@annepalouma8605]

and that well known from Calcutta is a Champ ?? rofl ...

[@Kevinschart]

Personal favorite would be SVR. On the jazz side I like Charlie Parker and Miles. Look, I know the guy is talented, I just didn't like this particular solo. I also like Aretha Franklin, but I'm not blown away by everything she has ever done either. I would think that would be easy to understand.

[@stanislassor]

ahhhh, I see that you already know this punk ...!!! Talk bass ...LOL , there are some elements on this site completely depraved ...Smith and jauqo are part of these few posers ...This guy, phil smith, is the developer of IKickBook it's crazy ...

[@groovekiller1]

wow if that wasnt musical to you then you really need to start learning music my friend...please take notes cuz your comment was elementary and he's a master at what he does...don't hate just appreciate his God given gift....God bless you

[@mattgally75]

PHIL SMITH (IGigBook developer and number one in the hatred on TALKBASS forum ) where are you ? come out of your cave and just come drooling over these musicians ...as you always do ..You have a nice opportunity now ...

[@newfolder2net]

piano player -----

[@UdobiMusic]

Keyboard Player fucking up badly. Pay Attention Dammit!

[@Kevinschart]

Nah...I don't need to learn anything. I play 3 instruments and sing. I didn't hate, I just said I didn't feel it. I also never critiqued his ability or talent. The next time you call someone elementary be sure to replace "cuz" with "because."

[@bassramos]

Its a song Michael Jackson sings

[@willyg7919]

im just amazed by the onlookers who know nothing of what is actually occurring in front of their faces. It just shows how many non players are running around. As far as anyone hating this, it just goes to show they cant take it when someone awesome is just putting it in their faces!!!!! Get over yourself and realize that there are people who can play better than just about everyone else. use it for inspiration instaed of just hating cuz you know you suck!!!!!

[@seargentpaper]

you forgott to mention , Brad Johson and champbassit from calcutta ...wowww ALL pro stalkers fron Talkbass forums ... they spend nights and days on that site ...

[@MrJghm]

WTF !!!!!!!!!

[@bassramos]

Wrong keyboard player for this trio.....

[@GOSPELFUNKADELIC]

omg. lol. no jk no jk
