I saw him back in 1980 when he started a band called Missing Persons. His wife was on another level of singing, as well (Dale). They were both young and loads of energy. Terry, set up his kit (not like this one) near the front of the stage (on my side). I was in the front row and didn't expect to see him so close. There were no stage barriers at the time, so I could nearly touch his leg. Anyways, I didn't know much about him, but knew all the songs with their first album tour. I'll tell you people right now. I've never, ever, seen a man play the drums with so much energy and all out rage, as Terry, that night. He was a man possessed. It was a privileged to be in the small venue at that time and to be so close to him, I may as well be sitting on part of his chair. I can't even describe his playing but to say, it was Godly insane. Much respect to this man. He is in my top 3 best drummers of all time. Noted: That I was privileged to see Neil Peart warm up for 30 minutes in rehearsals (standing near his drumkit), as I was on the stage crew with Rush for a few venue's. Neil was different in warm ups, as he was unrestricted. So he went at it hard and it was phenomenal and put on a much better show for the crew than on a live set. But, I rate Terry Bozzio's play slightly better, because of his relentless energy to kill those drums, that night (43 years ago). Folks, both are incredible drummers ,if you ever have a chance to see Terry play, then go.

I saw him live two years ago. His kit is massive, and it seemed to me he used maybe 70% of what was there… for sure not everything, but a lot. He introduced his drum tuner who I guess is crazy good (or maybe just crazy!?) from Finland or Poland and travels with him full time, tuning each drum for every show. 😳 That seems like a bigger job than micing everything.

[@Monsterslag]

You kinda have to be familiar with Terry's drumming history to understand why he plays such a large kit and where his drumming style comes from. Back in the day, when playing with Zappa, this guy was an absolute MANIAC on the drumkit, playing weird offbeat accents and having an overall fast, energetic and experimental playing style. Up untill this very day, drummers are still influenced by it and he can be easily noted as one of music history's most influental drummers, allthough his legacy is a bit undermined by the fact that he has always played experimental stuff, not having a big mainstream succes story such as Bonham's, Peart or Bruford. At present time he is known for 'Melodic drumming', in which he not only uses misleadingly tough ostinato's but also uses drums that are tuned along a melodic scale. He tours the world giving performances on just his drum kit, joining a beat and melody seemlessly. This performance is cool, but does not really do him justice. This is as brief as I can get on Bozzio. If you wanna get into this, I suggest you start by watching Zappa's 'Baby Snakes' concert. Cheers to you all, and happy drumming

[@ericmalone3213]

@@enkibumbu You're not being objectively factual about Frank Zappa's work. There's some very substantial instrumental writing in and among the purile lyrics and cynical social commentary, etc, that is well beyond being a "difficult to play" brand. "Did he wright beautiful music?" Notions of "beautiful" music are highly subjective. Ianis Xenakis's music is difficult to play, and not many peoples' idea of "beautiful", but that does not make Xenakis a novelty act--far from it. Likewise, Terry Bozzio's absurdly large drum kit is not a novelty act. He had an idea to chromatically tune every drum across a particular range, so the massive kit ended up being the result of an ambitious musical endeavor. If it were a novelty act, some of the tom toms would feature spigots that poured apportioned wine into glasses as scantily clad women appeared on the stage to wet their fingers and move them around the rims of the wine glasses producing specific pitches forming chords on cue. A comparison of Frank Zappa with Captain Beefheart isn't especially viable for a number of reasons I'll get to on another day. CHEERS.

Hell, even his drumming on that Korn album is pretty bad-ass. It's like judging Jimmy Page from that crappy "It Might Get Loud" documentary. Both of these musicians made history. A few less-than-stellar moments now and then doesn't change that.

[@jimmypge]

It seems like this kit is more about convenience for him anyway Nobody criticizes other musicians for not using every note available on their instruments, why do people criticize him for not using every piece in the kit for a particular song?

[@homiefromfl]

ThomasT I won't get into the argument of whether the guy is good or not, but as for your analogy: It's not the same as, let's say, a piano, or a guitar. Those instruments have their design set, for the most part. Whether you can or choose to play different notes or not is one thing. A drum kit is built, piece by piece. Pieces meant to be used.This guy kept adding stuff, and if he added stuff, it's because he meant to use them, but ultimately didn't. If he wasn't going to use all the pieces, then why build the entire kit? It seems it's mostly for show, of course, but it's just silly, in my opinion.

[@Arturarm388]

Now imagine how much time it takes to assemble and disassemble this installation.

[@Havaseet2]

Great performance but I think he could have went with a bigger drum set.

[@shadcovert1160]

You'd think he would have atleast 1 regular cymbal. Or something that sounds like one..

[@andrewmurphy5310]

Does he even have a hi hat it's hard to tell?

[@jakkennedy6905]

A couple hundred most likely😂

[@jakkennedy6905]

But in the video he only really uses 1 actual hi hat that is made of cymbals

[@jamessssssssssssss]

@@andrewmurphy5310 yes it's one of those cable hi hats, yo ucan see it moving at the top right of the kit around 1:38

[@jesusrodriguezolmedaii9697]

Oh what a glorious Day it is!!!!!

[@dylanburpee2967]

truly amazing

[@hendricstattmann3638]

Anyone mapping this drum set on Google Earth?

[@no_limit86]

Very good guitar playing..

[@audacyspectrum3612]

To this day, Terry is still trying to find his way out of that drum set! Maybe they just transport the whole thing with him in it!

[@relaxshacksDOTcom]

His drum tech is STILL breaking that kit down in an empty auditorium 11 years later.....

[@sandmanlopez9920]

Now that’s a proper drum kit!❤❤❤

F***ing amazing! This man is a true hero!

[@JackLawson11]

All these drums and still not a cowbell in sight

[@nathanm9166]

Jack Lawson Ikr! Seriously nobody has the fucking fever? I didn't see any blocks either.

[@CB-ou3cz]

We need more cowbell

[@sprydo7113]

It's Job security..."one for Will Ferrell" of S&L

[@antoniostubbs4772]

We need more cymbals that sound like tin pie pans

[@Customwinder1]

There's a cow with a cowbell in there somewhere.

[@ryucaro]

I like his style, it is weird, unique and cool

[@sydneybaker4163]

Absolute genius 🫶🏾❤️

[@fancykarlmarx]

I feel like I’m having deja vu watching this and remembering my beginner drum kit.

[@cliff2011]

I notice a lot of comments about the Monster kit, some like it, some don't, some say it's too much there to use, what ever. But still any way you look at it, This is one Mega impressive performance. Just one heck of a lot going on. And when you listen to all the different sounds/tones he comes up with it is very musical stuff, and to get them he moves all over the kit in a way that is very unique. When you watch the "moves" he seems to create the illusion of elevating off of the throne or something, climbing all over the kit. I don't think he does, but he sure moves around. Same thing with the Zappa "Baby Snakes" solo years earlier. Impressive, different. He's got his own sound/style. (understatement)

[@corvidcorpus548]

i don't care if your john bonham, keith moon and neil peart combined. You don't need that much shit to play

[@jalthealusdavis8762]

That could be his starter set. LOL.

[@ubbgn]

Actually I would be more impressed with a minimal setup!

[@tylerjoseph5968]

Guitardude02 I'd say a Neil Peart set isn't much smaller lol no disrespect to Peart but Bonzo and moon are in a class of their own using much less equipment.

[@itry.5088]

Guitardude02 correct, you don't need it. But people like him and me sure as hell want it

[@stubility]

whats need got to do with it. elsewhere bozzio articulates why he moved back to a large kit. smg to do with old drum set ups being huge but scalled down for practical reasons in the 20s. of course he can bring it back. of course u are right, you dont 'need' it.. but then again, you can't play drums like a piano without all the notes so u need it for that

[@revindeaq]

They should do the Drum center

[@aldnprm90]

watchif this at 2014, and now comingback at 2024

[@ognjenblesic9707]

He could've played this with a basic drum set, he didn't use those 24 toms on the left once, i don't get the point of this drum set.

[@supahsekzy]

***** I've never seen anyone so butthurt about Bozzio's kit before.

[@mitchaunger]

I guess based on your statement, every person who plays a keyboard should only have one octave to use! All the other keys are wasted and unnecessary

[@mau_orr]

Mitch Aunger you don't have to setup every key, as in a drum set, maybe I don't understand Bozzio's art, but to me, his set is a waste of time,money and space

[@treacoffill]

Haha at Steve Dupere.That set is retarded.I've seen some the best drummers in the world play with a set of hats, a crash/ride, 2 toms, a kick and a snare and slaughter this moron.There is not one impressive moment in this entire song.This dude is the definition of mediocre.

[@ognjenblesic9707]

I am not talking anout that im juat saying it's his kit and he doesnt use it, he could've incorporated a lot of fils or acsents with that kit, instead he did nothing what's the point then of him being a unique drunner when actually he isnt?

[@clarkkent3730]

He does so little with so much when others do so much more with so little

[@pbaker7160]

Dumbest comment of the year.

[@djwlopez]

That's what I'm thinking!

[@Cinemagoer_64]

Now this is drummer not all these other Guys in the drum off who can’t make music with the drums if their lives depended on it.

[@jackwilczynski6957]

@@pbaker7160 he does have a point, I meant the left side toms I'm not sure he hit at all. Nor that 3rd kick drum.

[@pbaker7160]

@@jackwilczynski6957 - Well, that could be due to the fact that you watched one song of the performance from that night. I'm sure they didn't set up his massive drum kit and call in other outstanding musicians to play one song (hence "part 1" in the title). No one seems to have any common sense these days...

[@ruhlmanndrumsolo]

Toujours aussi impressionnant ! !

[@hybridmeteora5467]

Man is on another class. Afar from conventional. Unorthodox. I think the purview of his drum set up is not to make him profound or something, but to enunciate what drums can do massively in orchestral manner. Same goes to auto shows, manufactured to its intended use, but heavily modified for amusement art.

[@AnthonyColomboAppliedMath]

this is actually good music. Terry is playing along, the music doesn't center around extreme playing. but an atmosphere. very pleasant.

[@MacSmithvox]

Extreme music isn't good?

[@mistermister3319]

I think he means extreme and technical music isn't everything. Creativity and deviance must be mixed in with it for an effective and sense tingling sound. And that music be combined as a whole with artistic spirit.

[@nostalgiacreep]

he means the purpose is to play music rather than work out at the limits of his ability. laying down a groove, not a world record attempt

[@AnthonyColomboAppliedMath]

to be brief, you can have technical compositions, but that does not mean the music is any good. you can have great music does not imply technical displays of ability. Marco Minneman, and PlanetX, I actually can not and have not sat through an entire record. Cobham's specturm is very well composed and very very enjoyable. Frank Zappa's music (live with Bozzio) is mind blowing. Zappa's orchestral compositions are incredible. Band's like Rush have maintained a great balance of composition and sound engineering. Bozzio here is playing great music. *Their* sound is just very pleasant.

[@reggiehammond1420]

have you listened to the mars volta?
