Stephen Perkins | Drum Solo

[@brianyoung2268]

Stephen is one of the hardest working drummers in the business!!!

[@djalien1057]

My favorite drummer of all time... not just for his technical chops, but the creativity and passion is palpable. It's a unique sound that is unmistakably Stephen Perkins.

[@joshuacarson886]

Always found Stephen Perkins to be so sonically creative, a true madman of the aleatoric and rhythmic science.

[@SPARKY4944]

Badass drummer that lets the music come to him.Too bad theres not more drummers like this.

[@michaelgeinopolos6911]

My dream is to just chill with Stephen Perkins and play drums all day

[@OrbitronFactory]

2:35 damn amazing tone on those toms. They sound perfect.

[@galadherethylfia9831]

What I like, is that he let the drums actually "sound", you can hear the different "notes", this solo breathes a lot !

[@bobhowells9603]

his playing speaks for itself. that drumset sounds amazing, dw should be proud, just lovely at all dynamic ranges

[@kevinreyer8007]

Absolutely insane! Gotta be about the best drum solo I remember ever hearing

[@bfranco1519]

Check out Danny Carey's live Pnuema on here

[@Sithman1776]

Perkins is amazing.

[@MrDeppness]

Stephen Perkins kept this one rocking from start to finish. Not many drummers have a lot of good ideas on their own or know how to compose a solo with structure, melody, and cohesiveness. Even some of the world's best drummers can be boring without the proper music to bring their talents out. Stephen nailed this solo. All bobble-headedness aside, this was a solid performance.

[@shawnhapney8784]

Ya know? It's almost impossible to fathom that a guy in his 50's, who lived w/ coke and heroin junkies for years is in that good of shape and can still rock out that unholy. Bat. Shit crazy on the drums like a bull in a China shop. But it is his profession right? Doesn't take Too many breaks from the regimen I suppose even during down times. Greetings from Cleveland Stephen! You're a beast!

[@Thrashman-ye4cf]

My favorite underrated drummer in rock

[@eyelovekicks]

Great drummer, and his kit sounds really good.

[@georgenel9556]

Amazing.Big Neil Peart influence there.Perkins is a Zen master!!!

[@lancefraijo8585]

Stephen's a Master of his craft. Rock On Brother.

[@joedapier590]

I've always loved his playing and his creativity. Plus, he's a super nice guy (met him once).

[@SwamiLama]

Simply one of the best.

[@sandyshippiezone2018]

Just saw some of his playing in Count Me In (Netflix). I became an instant fan!! I’ve also enjoyed watching other solos, but Stephen’s, I could watch all day!! His passion flows & you can tell he loves what he does🥰🥰

[@mygoodnessdarlin]

This is not playing the drums… this is BEING the drums…..I am completely awestruck . BRAVO! Jaw dropping composition and execution.

[@SuburbanConan]

Really,really well tuned kit.... Sonically perfect..... Dude takes his vitamins.....

[@jeffbarnes19fg76]

@brain. Jane's Addiction, porno for pyros, banyan, hellride, panic channel, infectious grooves, are some of the bands he is/was in. Stephen is my favorite drummer. He is always having a blast pounding his kit and that's what it's all about

[@rhythmista7707]

This was extremely enjoyable to watch. Mr. Perkins has a masterful musicality on the drums that is lacking with some of today's contemporaries. A true musician of the percussive world, just like his obvious major influence shows in this performance, a.k.a.the professor himself, Mr. Neil Peart..

[@mohanicus]

Ultra respect for any drummer male or female....its fantastic to watch....steve is one of the best I've ever seen

[@rohan750]

wtf this guy is nuts!!!! ie best drummer ever!!!!

[@charlesharrison6457]

[@adityatyagi4009]

[@HeyKellyShea]

Love it!

[@teresabrandon5961]

Wow awsome

[@davecronce3127]

Tim Alexander has always been one of my favorites. Some of this guy's grooves remind me of him. This is most excellent.

Everytime I see that episode of Regular Show about the drum solo, all I can think about is Stephen Perkins being like "Pssh.. Pleeeease."

[@rouvgroove]

[@cobyconrad5663]

Stephen Perkins is doing a live interactive masterclass with Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp on 9/14!! You get to actually talk to him live person to person, it sounds really cool. www.rockcamp.com/masterclass.php

[@randalleasley31]

He acts like he's mad at the world but it's all Love

[@Catinthehackmatrix]

Can you get the solo of Stephen doing the "When the Levee breaks" ? I love to jam this for the last year on my kit, love from Louisiana :)..

[@jamesc1966]

[@scor440]

It’s rare for a rock drummer to keep time on the high hat he is a Beast

[@cliffordbarchus962]

F@#$ing Phenomenal!!! 🤟🤟🤟

[@cjr1971]

[@drummerboy92019]

[@JTThomas82]

He looks great for his age

[@jasonmartin9142]

Gnar gnar! Worlds rippin🤙

[@2112titus]

@BRAIN3AT3R I know his big claim to fame is/was Jane's Addiction but I don't know what other projects he's involved with.

[@cliffcraig5043]

You think he's feelin it?

[@antoniopisanu4721]

Unico al mondo

[@Wirramandalla]

HEbatt bgt ... drumer wong bulle

[@wc6564]

smokin drummer still may be!!!!!

[@joshcluff2]

Get the Fuck outta Here. So good

[@chunkyterds]

keep ur head still

[@hamishmcmonkeypants5672]

This is the man that played the drums on One Big Mob by the Red Hot Chili Peppers instead of Chad Smith.

[@Snatchystashy]

Primus needs a new drummer. This guy could definitely fill Tim's shoes! Amazing.

[@mikel.laughridge9480]

this solo makes me want to be a better drummer.

[@benpowellfilms]

Bruce Willis plays drums??

[@fulton12344]

@TheMonkeyboy84 Jane's Addiction.

[@briannugent7836]

That's basically the drumming from 3 Days

[@apieceofdirt4681]

His head movements are driving me crazy

[@TCS_Aquatics]

I love Flea and Chad's musical chemistry, but I feel like somehow Stephen would have been Flea's musical soulmate....

[@jordanjames6851]

This is why I play drums! 👌

[@Ftanftangfnarrr]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4HdoH6vq56ZrM0feature=shared

[@jamsjr44]

Definitely hear a lot of Neil peart influence in this solo.

[@edgarcarranza3091]

Thats what i thought a drum solo should be, if the rest of the guys where doing their part it could be just another song

[@ecurb962]

Obviously, very Neil Peart-inspired, in terms of a "melodic solo."

[@davestrain9529]

RIP Professor

[@markmalonson7531]

He is so California.

[@jimgmejaime]

he reminds me of Mike Terrana for some reason.

[@StargazedReality]

if he didn't move his head, then he would probably got hit by his own drum sticks xD

[@Tarsus-y4d]

Professor PhD Perkins 😮

[@AlexGEdits]

Ouch my neck :)

[@speedoflite1]

bobblehead; redundant; great pro hands

[@HNWRobertPaulsonHNW]

Not redundant. It’s in a form of rhythm to keep the physical body and psyche in time and connected. In a way similar to the movement of a cats tail.

[@speedoflite1]

@@HNWRobertPaulsonHNW Bore-ass boring: Restated!

[@dreamspacepresident3356]

Awesome (of course). But the video-sound could use a little equalizing, is too dominant somewhere between 150-400 Hz.
