TEDxUSC - Peter Erskine - The Role of Rhythm in Popular Music

[@derek5168]

He is explaining the most important things more important than double stroke techniques while those things do have importance playing the music right is what he is getting across to people

[@Gasb92]

Peter Erskine played drums on all three Austin Powers movies. MIND = BLOWN

[@frankjaegervandlarssen6657]

Oh man... Erskine is a hero of mine, but damn those ridiculous sounding Roland drums!

[@wojtylo]

Mr. Erskine I loved your presentation ! Where can I sign up ! All the best! You sound marvelous! You helped me to start drumming. Thank you for every note you played and not.

[@CooManTunes]

You just gotta love this guy!

[@DrummerJacob]

Peter Erskine ride stick has been my choice for awhile now.

[@SkuddMudd]

TEDx are reeeeally stepping up their game in the rythm section..! :D

[@einarabelc5]

Weather Rewho? So funny that he has to say that Austin Powers.

[@siemydi1]

great stuff !

[@richardgoldner612]

What a shame the audio track is poor...

[@RedCarpetZygomaticus]

Erskine is a drum god, but a cringeworthy powerpoint at a TED event is not a good look.

[@einarabelc5]

That's why he's a drum god.

[@braddietzmusic2429]

Very smart man. Surprisingly funny. He could talk more and in a less skimming fashion. The presentation could be easily an hour or more. I hope it was.

[@he8082]

We've heard this before from other masters. Erskine spent a career regurgitating other people's work. Correction: Drums are made of wood and skin and METAL. Help spread the word...

[@sammadden5540]

Clearly not a fan

[@alilacherruse]

Hu Amm Eye , Please tell, can drums be made from other materials as well... I mean besides wood *&* metal?

[@alilacherruse]

Hu Amm Eye , oh yeah, forgot to add; if he was good enough for Zawinul & Wayne Shorter he's good enough for me.

[@shortnite_6643]

The earliest drums had no metal parts.

[@bafattvahetere]

@@alilacherruse Try FIBES. Billy Cobham played them in the 80's.

[@amandagerhartbuccat]

fred armisens stand up for drummers is a more comprehensive history of the modern drum set no joke also theres plenty of jokes

[@einarabelc5]

Oh boy, what is it going to be of Drummer Jokes?

[@charlesfarran1717]

Nicely dressed Peter, so sad looking at the younger generation.

[@matthewkoob9453]

waste of time

[@sovereignviper]

This dude is such a drumming elitist.
