Robert "Sput" Searight &

One of the best parts of the 2020 Drumeo Festival was the full band performances: drummers in their natural habitat!
Arguably one of the most energetic performances at the event, Ghost-Note features Sput Searight (Snarky Puppy) on drums and an incredible group of musicians. On top of Sput's flawless, funky fusion playing and major personality on the mic, you'll see him trade solos with percussionist Nate Werth (Snarky Puppy).
This performance also features the fantastic Xavier Taplin on keys, MonoNeon on bass, Jonathan Mones on sax, Peter Knudsen on guitar, and Daniel Wyantis on trombone. People were dancing in their seats - it's hard to describe the experience when you had to be there!

Nate is always the hidden hero. What a gem !

[@LoganFreund]

That bass tone is incredible! The overall sound engineering on this so good.

[@AirGuitar]

Yeah that bass sounds amazing. But honestly, Mono makes any bass sound good!

[@DrunkieCat]

That’s mono for you

[@joelbidell6997]

So sick that they gave Nate Werth solo time! Don't see that often

[@DrumeoOfficial]

Nate has some killer chops tbh.

[@stephhaug3316]

Nate is Killer! 4 Sure! But, I'll really have 2 ask if "Music at itself" HAS to be complicated just 4 the sake 2b complicated... worries me a lot

[@Ted_Swayinghill]

@@stephhaug3316 tbh theres nothing to worry about. Everyone in the band understands musical context. Their resumes as individual sidemen on albums and tours they played on speaks for them. Like MonoNeon being Prince’s bassist before Prince passed Sput playing for everyone from Kirk Franklin to Kendrick Lamar. They got it. 👍🏾

[@Ted_Swayinghill]

@@DrumeoOfficial you should get Nate’s brother on drumeo too. He’s a killer percussionist as well!

[@robbledot7290]

@@stephhaug3316 it’s called being a world class musician having fun

[@jcrawford068]

the way Sput integrates the kick into his licks is so smooth. Awesome sounding kit too.

[@Chef316]

Ghost Note is so sick...every single musician is a monster! Mono never disappoints!

[@Vevemusic]

That's just crazy. How do they sync this well? It seems so chaotic yet organized

[@dylanc3744]

Mono Neon stole the show for me jesus christ...

[@DrumeoOfficial]

He's so good...

[@davidsaraoz9097]

Yeeeeeez!!! I saw this and Im speechless I dont't know how in the world I call myself a drummer, Sput is a beast!!

[@siyobetrobet2768]

And he does all that as calm as my grandma is sewing...

[@Calbear94]

He's like Jeff Porcaro. Perfect fit for TOTO.

[@georgemickens8883]

Ghost Note you all are unbelievable!!!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Love the Music and diversity you bring to industry can listen to this all day!!!! Continue to make great Music and share to this all. People are definitely blessed by your music.

[@the_minimalistic_adventure]

What a ridiculously talented group of musicians!

[@kellynkarr6270]

Absolutely world class. Incredible

[@jokubask5309]

That trombone is crazy for keeping up with the band

[@jasonniles3627]

I literally watched this 3 times, back to back to back. Amazing music. Wish i was there to see this LIVE. Great work...

[@DeathMetalRob]

man oh man! fast,funky and a whole lotta SOUL!!

[@brycel.williams8624]

This is incredible!! Fun fact: I was today years old when I learned Eddie Murphy binge-watches MonoNeon vids on KZbin while sitting in the makeup chair for 6 hours preparing to play one of his 4975654579465 different characters 😂 Imagine being such a badass that Eddie Murphy is your biggest fans 🐐

[@AlbertMoyerJr]

Wow! This is an over-the-top performance offering great spacing for all the musicians to lay it down.

[@dietrootbeer_]

whole band blew my mind, sput's right foot stole the show-

[@Youdiments]

SERIOUSLY

[@rawdonwaller]

I like the way the MC characterised the band. Lots of music pushing boundaries i thought had been reached in the late 70s. Standing on the shoulders of giants, and doing them proud. PS. Anyone remember Neil Jason playing bass with the Breckers on this? It was slick and sick.

[@uber_stuber]

ok this blows my mind...initially discovered sput when he led ghost note playing keyboard in a zildjian event to feature various professional drummers. never knew he was also a drummer who was THIS FREAKIN GOOD....omg

[@philipnestor5034]

This is great, it’s like James Brown teamed up with Frank Zappa.

[@Jackmitchhell]

That’s actually the perfect description

[@daveh7050]

Actually, it’s more like an almost verbatim PRINCE tribute

[@daveh7050]

EXACTLY!!!

[@JakeRommer87]

Good to see Brecker Brothers songs being used...I guess not many can play them! These guys are sick

[@Baribrotzer]

Except they're playing it so fast it sounds like Frank Zappa.

[@ReubenLujan]

I have to say, listening to Robert on drums over the years, and listening to his philosophy about our role as drummers in a band, has been extremely educational. What I've learned about myself through Robert is that I hit the drums too damn hard! Since coming to this conclusion so many things have been improved, mainly my dynamics and tempo. I never made the correlation between speed and stick height before and was working way too hard and getting no where.

[@Calbear94]

Reminds me of Steve Smith of Journey. Became a better drummer after leaving and becoming a jazz drummer.

[@paulpritchard29]

I first heard Robert Searight with God's Property in 1998 after I was born again in a Pentecostal Church in Moss Side, Manchester, UK. What a great drummer. I had no idea many of the best drummers were Gospel musicians. Loving his stuff here and with Snarky Puppy. Nice kicking off with Some Skunk Funk (Brecker Bros), not an easy tune.

[@SuperTamaga]

My gosh I am in love with those cymbals 😘

[@RockBarnRecords]

Same. Live they still kick ass though.

[@amargnwalkr]

@@RockBarnRecords true

[@Jeremy_Sims]

Really what makes you say that? Just curious I think snarky are still killing

[@amargnwalkr]

@@Jeremy_Sims Snarky is def still killing, but this performance just blows me away. So much energy! Love seeing Sput play drums, love seeing Nate get some solo time, etc. Freaking Mono, man!

I'll be whistling these tunes all day now......

[@zappafan-eu4wp]

Love everything about this. I cannot wait to see them live again. So Damn Funky

[@chuckaviguetero1350]

It's such an emotion to hear 🥺 love it.

[@anderszettergren4302]

And now Sput and Xavier is in Toto. Jeff Porcaro would love this killer band.

[@davidbarbour2368]

You can hear "Musicology"-era Prince in this, and sure enough Nate is rockin' a Prince t-shirt. Sput plays the band like another instrument, just the way Prince did.

[@franklepo7192]

Sput and Ghost Note are amazing!

I know it's a "all about drums" video. What I do hate is when a director who doesn't know where to spotlight the camera. We missed a lot of the bass, sax & trumpets epic moments.
