Rod Morgenstein - Winger

[@sinfonian39]

This is just another reason why Winger is perhaps the most underrated group of musicians ever.

[@alanvaughan2937]

Why is he never mentioned as one of the tops in the drumming world ????? Simply Amazing

[@HansensOfficecom]

Rod of one of my favorite drummers. Long live the Dixie Dregs.

[@FirestormAudio]

Rod is one of my favorite drummers and this is a great solo.

[@Metympana]

Simply Badass🔥

[@MrDrummer3321]

Ho Man!!!!....what a great performance!!!

[@PabloJ1968]

Professor Morgestein...what else can be said...Ah, that he is an exelent classic pianist too!!!!!!!

[@manginifan]

Rod's a living legend---A fucking monster drummer!!!!!!!!

[@meadowz06]

Fantastic as usual!

[@gooneybird47]

The backing track is called Odd Man Out. It's in 5/4, & it's from the first Rudess - Morgenstein album.

[@leralf]

the coolest drummer ever!

[@MrCK-il5ci]

The level of tenured, well schooled musicianship of the cats in Winger makes Metallica look/sound like a neanderthal 1-4-5 drunken party band.

[@dalestackhouse8878]

Wow! I hear a lot of Neil Peart in that solo. Hell of a drummer!

[@wokstar19]

Rod Rules!!

[@JonP1961]

@Atedaze8 "Who's The One" is a great tune. For me, music is not a contest. I like groups, each for completely different reasons, despite the common drummer (he's on my short list of all-time favorite drummers). Remember seeing "Odyssey" live when 'What If' came out ('78). Awesome experience leaning on the stage (we're talking a bar that held a couple hundred), about 5 ft from Andy's Steinberger & about 2 ft from a monitor. Think my ears are still ringing today from it! LOL

[@tesswolfe179]

Remember Metallica used to show pictures of "Winger" on stage and mock the pictures. I don't want to turn this into a competition but Lars Ulrich on steroids couldn't attempt anything close to this.

[@drummer7557]

+Tess Wolfe As James so kindly put it, "My voice is really F##ked up right now, ok, buddy, pal. I wouldn't ask you to do a drum roll if your arm fell off"...!!! Best line ever. Het.

[@lukasries11]

i hope he will be the new dream theater drumer because he is a good friend of jordan rudess and with john myung he is playing the jelly jam

[@anaamee]

Fuck ! What amazing taste !

[@skangmox]

waaaaaay underated

[@ChasingPhotography]

Thanks for posting this. look up some Dixie Dregs and see where it all comes from.

[@jubankta1627]

Hell yeah!!

[@JonP1961]

Not to mention the fact that he got it wrong. This isn't Dregs stuff, it's from Rudess/Morgenstein Project. The section where he's playing over Jordan's ostinato is some hot stuff, 5:00-5:10 is fucking sick!

[@themetalgod21]

no doubt about it

[@ironblud]

Not a drummer, not bored shitless. More like in awe.

[@voxextremos22]

Any of you people listen to The Dixie Dregs

[@jonp4846]

voxextremos22 Since around the 1977 timeframe ;)

[@edoardozampetti4601]

world modern drummer

Keep the solo. When the music comes in at 3:38 that is when it highlights Rod's brilliance. Ain't a lot of rock drummers can do that shit.

[@jonp4846]

It's from a thing he did with Rudess.

[@hisham_hm]

Does anyone know what is the backing track he's playing to in the second part? Thanks!

[@snoolee7950]

Kip! Kip!

[@hypemall]

Got this DVD, great stuff but the record level is too quiet. Dangerous for amps...

[@bonzo10000]

this guy could of played with frank zappa, and that is a compliment frank always had great drummers

[@BatroAgencia]

@Insectamongus Rod is my candidate too!!! IMO he is a better drummer than Portnoy, but Mike's structures are not easy to memorize.

[@jubankta1627]

I think Mikes stuff is very easy to memorize and is very predictable tbh

[@mOrtpengu1n]

lol...the big ol sticks make his snare sound triggered

[@nopast68]

Great drummer.......at :58 he's copying what Neil Peart does with he crossover between the snare and floor tom. Never seen anyone else do that. (no where as good though IMO).

[@TruthUnderFire]

@drumpro85 And? What's your point numb nuts? (Shakes head)

[@apieceofdirt4681]

Winger??? lol

[@drummer7557]

To bad he plays for Wanger, I liked some of their songs, but NOT a fan. Him and Reb should have went solo together, that would have kicked arse. As much as I like Portnoy, Mangini(somewhat) Neil Peart etc. They have nothing on him, sorry. They are way to flashy, his control, rudiments, and overall groove/flow and skill are just amazing. The first solo I ever heard was actually when I was about 18 on Like a Ritual (the song) at the very end. I was like damn!! ha

[@dalestackhouse8878]

Wow! I hear a lot of Neil Peart in that solo. Hell of a drummer!
