[@goseeaboutagirl]

love his snare man... sounds great with those big hats. great pocket

[@pdxfunk]

Steve is the man. Anyone else think that snare sounds CRANKED tight? I mean, it sounds good, just really tight.

[@HadEnough745]

He has a 6.5 inch snare sounding like a piccolo snare. It sounds good but a little too high for my taste..I bet if it was dropped down a little it would sound better but what do I know..He's the star drummer right?

[@devinw9088]

Had Enough True dat!

[@SL-xy5pn]

That's his signature sound!

[@DennisLeeflang]

Now that the magazine issue has disappeared from the site, can you guys upload the entire video? Pretty please?

[@Flo-qw4jr]

The KING of groove…

[@scottdoyle6690]

Haha, you did hear the part where he mentioned playing for SONNY ROLLINS and KEITH RICHARDS, right? Don't think they could have their pick of any drummer alive? This dude is IT - ask anyone who knows a pocket when they hear it.

[@garykasper5811]

That's my set up doe. Yamaha drums & Paiste cymbals the only way to go much inspiration from you bro Steve Jordan

[@mustang77ism]

Dang! Thats groove!!

[@ER_aka_RAM]

Just upload the entire bloody episode #wankers

[@tonylupo1739]

the groove is here!steve the best!

[@06livefast]

Dat feel

[@Robdrumsofficial]

Steve Jordan, high as fuck, talkin' about drums and shit.

[@AquaAnim]

groove master!

[@ryanrovetto]

Would have loved to hear the 3 ply.. still an incredibly versatile setup.

[@musiqsoundsproductions]

Glad they didn't did the gold lugs on the final version. Clubs sound amazingly good. Vintage sound, which was the intention, both in clubs and stadiums. Funny somethings aren't even possible to get for a a drummer like Steve (3 instead of 4 plies)

[@phatbackbeat6553]

What size drums ?

[@steevidrums]

How good does that snare (and the rest of the kit too) sound??

[@JoshRosenblumMusic]

It's the outfit, man.

[@starstudies9004]

Your recording of his kit puts the Vic Firth one to absolute shame, and I started typing this comment 4 seconds in.

[@marcocalabrettamc]

eargasm.

[@Brokenface]

That tight snare

[@RichieGeno88]

What are the sizes of this Kit...anyone know?

[@TheSingolarmente]

[@edgarmartini]

[@lecarrotman]

dem sunglasses

[@marlonfranca292]

Snare 14x8??

[@ClustermakR]

I love the sound of the crash/ride on his left with rivets ! Can anyone tell me what paiste masters model it is ? Dark ride 22" ? Dark Crash Ride 20" ?

[@452TheDon]

Mathieu Desvignes Pretty sure its the masters 20" crash ride

[@TwentiethCentury]

Is it just me or does he hold his stick between the ring finger and his pinky in traditional grip in this video?? Edit: No its just me his thumb where confusing me.

[@somepithysaying]

gotta learn about feel my son

[@soumentalukder4750]

17" hi hats 😀

[@jhfoley47]

17" hats?? Dammmnnn

[@lexestrada9556]

Too bad I was not able to get hold of this drum, out production.

[@rhythmista7707]

You can easily find some online...

[@ThomasMetal75]

Really? 17" hi hats Steve?!?

[@mihaidrums5]

This snare is so sexyy!

[@brianchisnell1548]

Drums sound the same. Wrap or finish. The shell is a speaker cabinet. The heads are the sound. All hype.

[@spencergsmith]

Heads predominantly effect the initial tone (attack), while the drums MAJORLY effect the resonance tone.

[@albitcapinigro1107]

Hey! What do you? Somebody who actually plays a beat!

[@albitcapinigro1107]

Attention "drummers": study this video. This is a drummer. He plays a beat. In time. With music. Put away your inter-dependence, left foot clave BS videos and study this man.

[@Moog168]

johnny albit My thing is if that Interdependence/Independence/Artsy Fartsy stuff gets you gigs...So be it! If you can play to a click with those ideas and land on the 1 with those ideas without stepping on anyone's toes SO BE IT. OR MY FAVORITE...IF THE MUSIC CALLS FOR IT...do what you need to do. Thing is Most guys that can do that understand groove,feel and time and fundamentals as well but most people rave over that fact and forget that those "Fancy" players understand groove as well. Then you have guys like Steve Jordan,Steve Gadd,Chris Dave,Abraham Laboriel Jr,Dennis Chambers,Ricky Lawson and others that can groove your face off and surprise you when they're allowed a bit of freedom. NO NEED TO HATE!

[@63Baggies]

Steve Jordan is perhaps "the most versatile" drummer around today; he;s entitled to a toot or three :-) LMFAO

[@lukewoods4985]

those glasses ...

[@barrhh84]

DAT BASS 8===D~

[@TheZomba1965]

Thank God there's one rack, Yamaha double tom mount ...chokes the shit out of a second rack, they need to fix that shit right away,as for now, one word..TAMA,well as far as Japanese drums.

[@cleanbeats2011]

so being a calm and collected dude means you are "high as fuck"?

[@andrewsandoz8005]

Don't get why this guy is so revered? Minimal chops, very ordinary player.

[@thespyisaspy]

uhm... no.

[@h.j.w2783]

kit sounds amazing but personally that wrap is ugly as hell. Steve rocks it though.

[@h.j.w2783]

Dr. H 3:12 was not expecting him to play that, i've always thought he's a funk/soul drummer. that was epic.

[@MidiPunk]

Dr. H DOOD one of the first things he said is it's not a wrap.

[@h.j.w2783]

MidiPunk haha my bad. I meant the paint, I had a little retarded moment. Although it is growing on me, but personally that kit would look amazing in Oyster.

[@rhythmista7707]

+Dr. H They actually have the black swirl and blue swirl as well.. Really nice looking.. If i had my choice it would be any one of those two finishes..

[@potterbat3995]

Steve is one of those "Everything" drummers. The best kind;)

[@HR-bb2es]

One of the greatest drummers ever!! unfortunately the Club custom product is really not worth the bucks it costs.. not even close.. i've recut the edges of two such kits in an effort to make them come just a bit alive.. the wood (Kapur) is really not good.. it might be eco friendly.. fine by me.. but they are not great versatile drums.. which is kind of weird because Steve IS exactly that: versatile!. please TRY the kit before you buy it. Also the build quality are NOT up to Yamaha standards!

[@musiqsoundsproductions]

The Club Custom was one of the best kits Yamaha made in the Japanese factory. Kapur is also in the top line, the PHX (I play a kit and it sounds amazing, also partly because of the Kapur).

[@stacyplant9327]

I’ve got two Club Custom kits and they are both absolutely perfect

[@randywoolum2648]

He's a damn good drummer, but for some reason he strikes me as he would be sort of a prick if you met him on the street. Idk why.

[@familytreemusic]

check out some interviews and you will see that, beside being one of the great drummers of all times, he's a very sensitive and wise man.

[@daveedsonblues]

Randy Woolum I met him and he was super kind and gracious. Just bumped into him. He’s genuinely cool and real. I think he’s just real smart, the real deal.

[@CleanSuburbanChild]

not tryin to talk shit but...this guy isnt very good lol

[@MarkyOosterveen]

CleanSuburbanChild Can you elaborate on that?

[@kimweemhoff8066]

CleanSuburbanChild Hahahaha!! Steve is one of the best groove drummers & producers in the world

[@marco1983x]

The ride ??? Patate 22” Signature? Pls
