Terry Bozzio Drum Solo Performance - pat's changes

[@curtarmmar]

Easily one of the most overlooked musicians. He’s more than a percussionist and drummer. He’s his own orchestra. His technical ability is insane and he has the musicality to keep it interesting.

[@terrybozzio4841]

Thanks for all your comments & compliments! I am using pintech midi triggers on each tuned drum. that goes into 6 Roland TMC-6 units, then into m-Audio midi -usb routers and into my mac using Reason for a sign-wave pure tone of the note each drum is tuned to. that helps the melodies come out more clearly. i apologize for the slap back echo (that came from a live mix room mice i guess!)

[@gregorymarch8255]

That is insane. So do you create a sample of a tuned drum that's triggered thru the midi?

[@conversacionesbaterapeuticas]

+Terry Bozzio you´re a truly inspiration.Priceless melodic drumming.

[@Mr.Manga85]

+Terry Bozzio Hi Terry!Do you know what really amazes me about you?Of course your incredible talent but first and foremost the fact that when I hear you playing It seems to me like listenig to a whole orchestra...In my humble opinion,your use of the drums is unheard-of because the instrument is seen under a totally different point of view...new and innovative.You're a great source of inspiration,I really admire your work and in particular I love what you did during your collaboration with Mr.Zappa.Respect!

[@JDSoos]

+Terry Bozzio Just saw this. Incredible!!!!! Far beyond great drumming. It's great musicianship. You are a true artist. Thanks for the explanation. I was racking my brain to try & understand how you achieved that sound.

[@classicartfoundation639]

Your work on Guitar Shop with Jeff Beck is one of the best drumming albums ever. All the best Tel

[@chrrev1]

First time I hear someone singing with a drum kit. It's beautiful.

[@ahappything7850]

Hello ! That is it : He is telling a story! That is artfull. No one is closed to Terry concerning that point. THE TROLLS SHOULD LISTEN AND LEARN ! No REASON to talk more- I will listen one more time. The Purple Love Assistant We should respect the music!

[@BouncebacKDrumChannel]

Playing his own harmonies too!

[@johnbergeman883]

I usually don't like monster drumsets like this because they seem gimmicky but seeing this one where all the toms are tuned to notes to play them like a pitched instrument is actually super cool and musical

[@nataliagonzalez1698]

John Bergeman I agree. It actually does justify the amount of drums he has

[@jamiewalton1114]

John Bergeman I went to a drum clinic he had.He was demonstrating how he knows to use a drum stick to play a "sharp" or a "flat" note on any drum and he has taught himself to do it with both hands.So from the amount of toms you see him using in this video he can get 3 notes from each tom.If you can ever get to see him at a drum clinic do it.It's really worth the experience

[@markusantonio4866]

Thanks for understanding. Alot, of people commenting that he's pretentious and pompous for having that size of a kit.

[@andrewmurphy5310]

I know what you mean but if I had the money I would buy a pointlessly large kit just for the hell of it.

[@ahappything7850]

Hello John ! Terry here is doing that what PRINCE wanted us to do : Respect the music! The Purple Love Assistant

[@jeffsadowski7759]

This was one of the best 5 minutes I've ever spent! What a wonderfully crafted solo.❤😊

[@knotshardly1036]

Terry Bozzio has contributed something very unique and innovative to the world of drumming. It's not about the size of the kit. It's about breaking boundaries and unlocking the melodic potential of drumset playing. Terry's playing should put an end to the myth that drummers aren't real musicians. This is the kind of thing that can inspire drummers to think different about their player. So I say to Terry Bozzio; thanks for making this available on KZbin for free.

[@gregpeller1499]

"Terry's brain is wired so differently from most....err...all other players.... He does things we're not supposed to be able to do on a percussion set. I'm glad to be alive to witness his wonderful genius...."🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

[@matthernandez777]

Terry inspired me to enlarge my kit, experiment with smaller dimensional shells, and I've never looked back since 1996. Thanks again.

[@jfmax2000]

Dr Bozzio You are a True Percussive Genius and Have Been and Forever Will Be One of My Favorite Drummers ☺☺😎👊💯💯💖 Thank You for This Upload My Most Amazing Musical Big Brother ☺☺💖💖💯

[@paulseano5100]

Awesome! I remember back in 2000 Terry came to Texas to do a clinic and the first thing he said to the spectators before he started the clinic was: “ I bet you all are wondering what this contraption is.” I was wondering how the heck he got all of those drums and percussion in that music store! Mesmerizing performance and he signed my Pro Shop T shirt. Amiable guy and modest. Terry has truly marked an epoch in drumming history. Cheers!

[@sand9577]

Terry's Bozzio solo's are so unique. Most; if not all, drummers just blast their drumkits. They look more like athletic endeavors than actual music. Not here, this is music, amazing. I've been listening on and off to Terry Bozzio since his Drawing the Circle album. Only now do I discover new layers to that album. Keep up the good work, you're embarrassing everyone out there.

[@janetwindsor9244]

I saw Terry at Drum Center in Minneapolis and it was the best musical experience I have ever had! And I have been to 100's of concerts. It was truly brilliant. Cut clear to the soul.

[@14moldyhamsandwich]

you are an inspiration for so many drummers , the world over. god bless

[@raymondsalazar7090]

I love listening to your music when I'm laying in bed at night I'll play this in surround sound sometimes. it brings back memories from when I spent time in South America Amazon hanging out with the ticuna tribe near the border of Peru, Brazil and Colombia. thank you for everything that you do you are truly an inspiration. I hope to cross paths with you one day.

[@Disneylandonacid1982]

Terry you changed my life in October 1982. I saw you with Missing Persons, and that single performance has cast a long shadow over my life for the last 35 years. I saw you in 1984 in Long Beach, Ca, 1985 in Mesa, Az, 1995 (or thereabouts) in duet with Chad at SMU in Dallas, in a clinic in Tempe around 2002, and finally in solo performance at the Musical Instrument Museum here in Scottsdale, around 2011 or so. Thanks for giving me and thousands of other drummers someone to look up to and admire.

[@jaylarose6332]

One of the best drummers of all time. He has mastered the technique of tuning his drums so his solos and studio songs are always in key, It doesn't mater if its Jeff Beck, Steve Vai, Korn or Frank Zappa. When Terrys behind a band he elevates even the most talented players up a notch

[@yurib7067]

I love the fact that so many of the acoustic qualities of those drums are still somehow coming through my telephone and up into my body.

[@enriquemundaca8396]

Amazing, so musical... congrats Terry, great contribution to arts. Greetings from Chile-

[@garthok6224]

Another Chilean here, great work Terry!!

[@MEGAMIGA]

I love the sound of your toms! So Gamelan-like!

[@suzajourney]

You are killing me man. I only wish my dad were alive to hear you. Maybe he's the reason I found you.:) The healing in percussion was the basis of his medical research. I was thinking of him when I accessed the article on Neuroscience and Drumming. His technique was published but I don't think anyone ever thought to record the audio in the 1950's although some patients had told him that the sound was as good as the feel. He would have called you the drummer from another world and you are! I don't even begin to understand what you have going on there but I can't wait to listen to every recording of you I can find.

[@biorage6670]

Soul lifting solo Terry! A great balance between the tribal and the spiritual! Just amazing..!

[@Vitor.Portugal]

A real masterpiece... Terry got really amidst the deepest foundations of rhythm and soulful melodic quest. A very much deserved round of applause.

[@steveelam4810]

Your resume speaks for it self,this falls in to a spirit realm of drumming to me,healing capacity, you are set aside.as long as what u have is used then it's not to much.one of the icons of my generation,thanks for inspiring

[@LucindaRhiannon]

Terry is not just a drummer, he is a true percussionist. I've been to 2 of his clinics and I was thoroughly impressed, and not to mention that he is a really nice person as well. The fact that he chases different tones not only from his toms, but also from his cymbals, sets him above the bar.

[@jared_grey]

Can't remember a drum kit sounding more musical, ever. Amazing solo.

[@ganazby]

Jeez, I’m late to this party. Incredible piece of music/performance. Love Terry’s work.

[@Monsterdrumma]

This is like the coolest thing ever and just so refreshingly different! Aside from how beyond complex Terry’s drumming is it is his feel and passion that I love the most! I naturally attack when I play also but I still think of Terry when I get a solo break and go in to attack mode, huge inspiration!

[@scottchristie]

I've been inspired by Bozzio's playing since seeing him in Halifax with Frank Zappa in circa 1981. That was an awesome night and during the solo Terry did some tuned percussion that blew my mind that included simple recognizable melodies, i forgot what they were. Bozzio is a pioneer of inclusion of tuned percussion in the drum set and continues to extend this today with amazing musicality.

[@MDBenton]

Unique, musical, artistic, amazing. A fantastic example of what following your artistic vision looks like.

[@popeyesailor9571]

I grew up in drum corps and bought Bongo Fury in 7th grade and the guy you met (Rob Carson) was my private instructors nemesis in solo competition from the other corps down south of us. My son now instructs mallet percussion for them and several schools. Thanks for all the great notes you gave us to learn.

[@mickdarabuka7778]

Mr Bozzio, you are a percussion genius. I'm an old man who still loves his drumming but this has only existed in my dreams, until now.

[@mattirissanen8163]

Terry, your music is like crystallized bronze. Mesmerizingly beautiful. Thank you.

Great Job Mr. Bozzio! Many blessings sir...keep up the outstanding networking of sounds...Dr. Mark....

[@yostich69]

I was late in getting into Terry and his F'n outadisworld drummin' chops. My first introduction was Spring Session M with Missing Persons and I WAS HOOKED! What a FANTASTIC album which also includes some of the BEST BEATS I have heard. I may be nostalgic but here we are. I regressed a bit and listened to his time with Frank Zappa and this solidified my suspicions that Terry is an unstoppable force in the drumming world. Terry's playing with Steve Vai and Jeff Beck along with many others has been a drummers delight through the years. I will admit to stealing a few tools from the box and some modification of others but you know what they say about immitation. This new stuff is beautiful, melodic, difficult to replicate and addicting. I have no complaints about this approach to percussion, only compliments. LOVE the huge set and all that comes with it, I mean ALL! Thank you Terry for the many years of innovation and inspiration.

[@frankalfar]

I just recently reheard that album mainly because I wanted to hear how cool his playing was and how some of his rhythms even happened in this funky new wave band. Also to really listen to the sounds in his custom electronic set he built for Missing Persons. Some of those patterns he played were so razor sharp !!!! "Now is the time" comes to mind. Anyway this album is so underrated .

[@wuckle]

Terry seems to have went down a very unique path from most of his peers. For the most part I didn't get it, but here he demonstrates his undoubtable talent and delivers a very creative and musical solo. Would love to hear him do some more of this stuff.

[@ajayjesse1953]

[@christiangasior4244]

It’s a joke, lighten up. That isn’t going to happen.

[@myvibebeats]

You have to come to a point to understand the God-given individuality that comes from Terry Bozzio in the sense that who would even be inspired to imagine such a type of enormous drum set with sound components that he invented...let alone be able to make sense of playing the way he does...not even to mention the immense technical proficiency that he has been gifted with!

[@dgrn101]

Absolutely stunning! At this point I can't even call you a drummer or percussionist. I'd have to say master engineer of that machine that probably costs as much as an American house. I asked my wife and she said I couldn't get one but thank you for the videos

[@planetdog1641]

Terry Bozzio is a thinking man's drummer and one of the best in the world, he can not only play in a musical orchestral style but he can also compose and arrange complex pieces that will make your jaw drop. It doesn't get any better than this guy, he is a true legend and as good as they get

I love how melodic your drumming piece is here Terry. Really cool. The imagination & concept of building that kit had to be almost as time consuming as writing an album! ha ha. I play a 5 pc kit & only go for intervals between my toms but you inspire me to take that chance & work on getting that 14" rack to an A for instance instead of just a Perfect 4th over the 16" Floor Tom.

Back in the day, I had only known him as the drummer for Missing Persons. Then I went to the "Fire and the Fury tour" with Stevie Ray Vaughan & Jeff Beck. Terry was playing with Jeff. He was phenomenal! I mean everyone was there to see some guitar playing. But his playing was such a huge presence that it still sticks in my mind to this day, And was one of the highlights that night. If you ever see him live you'll know what I mean.

It was a KILLER show with Terry conducting a percussion workshop on display.

Every song on the incredabal album those songs and groves were write in every body,s face. Even the last missing persons album that got sadly no recognition for. You also sang your but off and the harmonies that you sang . All were perfect.shurly know that love don't come here anymore or whatever it was called .It was a beautiful day song Zappa The sleep dirt album ,the ocean is oh gosh I just blanked out now UK live .the Danger money album and the many others black napkins studio Album Group 87 Hs Ha..my point is that know buddy back then was playing like you ,period like even on w Walking in La .words , noticeable one's that in your face killer groves over and over and your harmonies were off the hook Bad streets.ect that will never get old and should all those Missing Persons albums should still be on the radio ...
