Carl Palmer, a true legend.

[@joeybernard6911]

THE MAN IS STILL SO VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT HIS CRAFT. THAT IS LIFE IN A NUTSHELL. IF ANY OF US CAN FIND OUR TRUE PASSION IN LIFE, THEN WE WILL BE VERY HAPPY!

[@gregoryjimijames8640]

Thanks for demonstrating and thank you for all your energy and effort put in to play music with ELP and you're continue to bring the music to people you are a true Inspiration. To future musicians and listeners.

[@bigelile07]

Most underrated drummer ever

[@kiskaloo6843]

I discovered music when I first heard ELP aged 9 years old in 1973, they are the reason I fell in love with classical music not long afterwards. CP is and always be my musical hero.

[@stewartnicol3028]

I saw ELP 7 times and Carl was miles ahead of all others of his generation. His single stroke work was incredible. I later met Carl and took my Godson to his Masterclass, where I discovered Carl had played with my late cousin, Vincent Crane.

[@MrMusiclifer]

Carl Palmer was an icon for me back in the 70's and still is today-I can remember sitting with my binocs watching him play dual gongs behind his kit during a solo performance while touring with ELP and ringing a huge church bell by suspended above him with a rope dangling down in his mouth! Met him at a drum clinic later on and what a nice guy-besides an awesome showman behind the set. Keep it up Carl and thank you Korg-p.s. I played a friend's wavedrum for about 2 hours and want one of my own!

[@BenG9C9]

Love the demo. It's nice to get insight from a pro/veteran musician on these products.

[@karltaylor4455]

Best drummer in the world

[@lukuntri]

the first electronic drum solo he is talking about is in elp's toccata .

[@paulfarley0078]

this is 10yrs old and i just seen it ....out standing

[@amarok5048]

Carl, you are talented beyond your realisation!

[@JohnnyFiveEagles]

The one thing I always liked about Carl Palmer is the way he uses his rudiments inside of rock and other polyrhythms.@1:10 is a good example of this. Nice! Thanks for the post.

[@DUBEE43]

Im sorry but in MY book, Niel Pert cant hold a candle to my main inspiration, CARL PALMER!!!🥁 THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@angeliquejones8280]

Enjoyed the demo. Amazed at all the different drumming sounds. Thanks for enlightening me. Really love that drum.

[@juulbrie]

Carl is a legend and a very nice person. I think he loves analog drumming more when you look at his career. I realy don't mind that he endorses this Kork material. By the way, his drumming is brilliant and musical aa always. And with Carl, you always notice he loves the sounds. A master and an example.

[@SpaceCattttt]

He hits pretty damn hard!

[@rossbrowning7193]

He started this with his & the Nicolas Rose team... Innovative original.. Toccata!

[@plasticweapon]

carl palmer doesn't have equipment, he has weaponry.

[@joemac356]

Wow! Matched grip.

[@milehighed52801]

What a great drummer and a great guy, too!

[@LeftCoast_TomP]

One thing I am surprised doesn't get mentioned much is the center of the head is pretty dead where the pressure sensor comes in contact with the head. The pressure sensor is for hand drumming effects mostly but if you are looking for a cool electronic snare drum the stick rebound in the center of the drum is not so great. There are forums on this and it is not a mater of lowering the pressure sensor off the head or tightening the head. The experts on the forum say you just have to get used to that and play around the perimeter for faster action. See the Korg forums on Pressure Sensor height and in particular the threads by the "wavedrummer" member.

[@stigb56]

The master have spoken !!

[@Ferdiphone]

wow ! thank you..!!

[@harleypiper]

you and I listened to the same stuff.!! I also listen to the allan parsons project.as well as EL&P

[@DrBongos]

I want one!

[@boozer7574]

As a drummer my favorite influences have been Carl Palmer , John Bonham, Ian Paice, Barriemore Barlow, and Allen White. Oh I can,t forget Neil Peart. {not necessarily in order]

[@zuripeter1888]

Carl is the best...

[@josteinv.jordet257]

Mine too:)

[@UFOROX]

The real Boss!

[@stevelandress]

He DID do it first and he DID stay away from electronic drums for years and as one of the best drummers in the world he DOES have some of the best snares in the world. It's not bragging of bullshit if you can back it up and he can. Do yourself a favor and listen to his drumming on Emerson Lake and Palmer albums then think again before you put down someone you know nothing about.

[@IwshIcldstrtover]

Carl's memory is rather short, regarding his use of electronic drums. He used them during the 80's with Asia. In fact, he had 3 of them that had huge faces on them, which he used during the debut LP and Alpha.

[@AlobytesOgniddove]

Non sono un batterista ma... GRAZIE Mr.Palmer!!!! I love you!!! ^^

[@DrBongos]

I want one! I'm getting one!!!

[@manticore1962]

@IwshIcldstrtover Yeah right. Carl used Nick's pickups, that would trigger 8 small synthesizers, after he broken some of the Moog 1130 (they were so fragile for Carl's energy). But, I think it was a normal drum set . The stainless steel drum you talk was used by Carl during the Works recording sessions (1977). With ASIA he starts to use electronic drums based on digital sample technology. Anyway, maybe I'm wrong (I'm a keyboard player) but I love Carl' powerful drumming. Nice to meet you :-)

[@IwshIcldstrtover]

@manticore1962 I am well aware of this, and I am not wrong. The synthesizer pickups were built into the British stainless steel drum set that he used and were developed by Carl's technician called Nick Rose. Bob Moog didn't want to take it as far as Carl did, so he asked Nick to help him with it. Carl did use electronic drums during Asia as well, and that was what I was pointing out.

[@marcuzzo65]

Carl sei sempre il più grande!

[@popeye5432]

Not once, in this clip, does he ever say that he has one or uses one. He say's "I want that", "I need that" and "I'm still investigating", but that's very different from having and using.

[@manticore1962]

@IwshIcldstrtover You wrong! Carl played the very first electronic drums (several Moog 1130 percussion controller used to trigger a Moog synthesizer) in 1973, during "Brain Salad Surgery" recording sessions, on "Toccata" by Alberto Ginastera.

[@cvl85]

Pro!!

[@Taikomaniac]

Carl is genuine about this Tech used by Korg I feel the standalone brain is long out in my option. Ala carte is the way to go you should have the freedom select, tune,adjust per pad and layer it as well. This powerful device set-up as a trap set-up or within a trap set-up opens up a whole new avenue in terms of GROOVES. Ethnic feeling grooves not the standard Drum set grooves played. TRILOK GURTU's approach is now a reality and endless

[@juligreenspan6007]

If you dislike him so much, then why are you even here? You have a right to your own opinion, of course, but why spread the negativity? Why not find a video that you can enjoy and listen to it. Make love not war.

[@robertnobody]

Carl forgot he used electronic drums with Asia in the 80s and also with Emerson Palmer Berry in the late 80s....in 1992 & 1993 he used an electronic kit on the ELP Reunion. In fact, the entire ELP "Black Moon" album was acoustic drums filled with foam and drum triggers on the toms and bass drums. Everything he said about not using electronic drums since the 70s was completely wrong.

[@TokenYeahPunGuy]

Well I originally watched the video, because I was interested in it, and the Wavedrum, and Carl. All of these exchanges show up in my email, so I respond. I respect Carl Palmer, but I don't really like him. If you read the comment threads, the negativity isn't just coming from me. I'm responding to smart ass remarks with smart ass remarks of my own (this exchange notwithstanding). Exchanging smart-ass remarks is one of the chief functions of the internet :)

[@oursonvie]

lol the australian song, i totally got that!

[@mikegass2272]

He could beat on a coffee can & sound better than 90 % of the " rock" drummers out there.

[@U2WB]

I bought one of these Wave Drums used on eBay and I never did figure out whether it wasn’t working properly, but it had no sensitivity. Unless you really slammed it with sticks the acoustic sound of the plastic was louder than the electronic output. Completely impossible to play with hands. Again, mine may have been a reject. I unloaded it again.

[@YouzTube99]

@U2WB - Were either of the ones you had the 'Global' version? Asking, because *all* the previous ones had notoriously low output and Korg didn't address the problem until the Global (current) model.

[@MrJames-tw5oo]

Hi Carl

[@ColpoRosso]

Nice toy

[@Mahavishnu80]

cool guy

[@juligreenspan6007]

Fair enough.

[@ThoriumHeavyIndustries]

Can I really hit it that hard?

[@351cleavland]

What leads you to say that?

[@decongeniato]

I agree, i've actually criticized Korg wavedrum.

[@saccola8780]

There is an effort to get Emerson Lake & Palmer (ELP) nominated into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2018. Write a personal letter to the RRHOF Nominating Committee as soon as possible at the following address: The Nominating Committee Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 1290 Avenue of the Americas New York NY 10104 **To maximize this endeavor to get ELP nominated, share the NC's mailing address onto your own personal media pages (Facebook page, twitter, pinterest, etc) and tell people what to do to help get them nominated. Thanks!!!

[@iantoau]

i own an original wavedrum that has limitations but is an awesome instument. i own two new wavedrums and, don't get me wrong, they are awesome instruments.but the korg oriental is more to my idea of what i want from a wavedrum. korg hear this - i want to control A SINGLE SOUND from my wavedrum. rim or otherwise. not two sounds in combinations.korg oriental wavedrum is getting there. and give me a usb editor. the knobs give me the shits.

[@danabe8888]

can this wavedrum take a beating? from heavy sticks lie 2B?

[@Kosmoski99]

Allen Hallare 2B or not 2B that's is the question.

[@bellavia5]

+Kosmoski99 THAT is hilarious. VERY funny.

[@juligreenspan6007]

I don't think he's be conceited. He wants to promote this particular snare drum. He has played on the best and knows a thing or two about good drums. Just his way of indorsing this one.

[@daddybear]

KYLE JONES WAVE DRUM PART 1 PART 2

[@TheMichaelseymour]

Do you mean because he is being a "corporation man " ..or you just dont like his stuff ? You didnt make your point clear ?

[@decongeniato]

One point less for Carl.

[@fukimakai168]

3:00 hubiera sido genial que Emerson improvisara algo arriba

[@mrtvi46]

@PeganCove 1. It's "Kraftwerk". 2. Wolfgang Flür joined Kraftwerk in 1973 to play electronic percussion. :) 3. It's not Kraftwerk's fault that some people are morons, right?

[@SnakeDelta]

sounds like a dustbin lid

[@spercoco]

I still hate electronic drums and I thought the snare sound was awful. I'm not sure Carl is really being sincere when he says he has great snare drums and that this thing sounds better than any of them.

[@spercoco]

***** He demonstrated the snare sound and said he has a lot of snare drums in his collection that are very expensive and that the snare sound on this electronic drum is very desirable but I thought it sounded mediocre at best. I don't think Carl was being sincere imo. If he endorses the company and gets free stuff he has to say something good about the product.

[@mzmadmike]

What quality of recording was it? Given the shifts in his voice. What quality of headphones are you using?

[@mzmadmike]

He said, "I need this." Not that it's better. That he can make use of it.

[@narco73]

He didn't say it was better. He just liked it. If you have a whole lot of great sounding snares it makes sense to desire something that they don't give you.

[@PanasonicTooth]

2:26 chshwang!

[@decongeniato]

Neither for the commercial in itself, nor for his glorious past stuff. I'm an analogical percussionist and i simply don't love syntetic drum sound. In particulary korg wavedrum is very expensive and makes not satisfying sound, especially when it reproduce indian tabla. Thanks for your consideration.

[@douglasthompson8927]

He`s the only drummer I can listen to who can play a drum solo I will listen to..the only thing more boring than a drum solo is a bass solo although Suzi Quatro can almost pull it off..I like listening to the dead but they are a little different..two drummers naturally will find a grove that`s hard to beat..IMHO Carl is the greatest living percussionist..he`s probably not as fast as he used to be but we are all getting older and tempo is only one aspect of rhythm

[@marshallman1au]

Digiridrum ..... ROFL! :)

[@SimplicityForGood]

it seems very plastic, cheap in design though.... that is what turns me off... while the idea turns me on... I do not know...

[@markkeith9055]

Why Asia? I don't think anyone in the band is from Asia. Is there a band in Asia that calls itself America? No, there isn't. The names already been taken by Americans. Man oh man this planet's confusing.

[@alwrig]

Think so? How about a band from Scotland that calls itself "Texas"?

[@markkeith9055]

Is there a city called Texas in Scotland? If not, then makes no sense at all.

[@bellavia5]

He talked for 3 minutes before he even touched the drum.

[@roinebloom2807]

+John Agresti It took 57 seconds when I looked at it. Which clip did you see???

[@bellavia5]

+Roine Bloom OK -Fine -57 seconds -BUT- did YOU notice that within those 57 seconds he was edited twice . Why ? Because him and every other fucking guy who wants to get on YT in the guise of giving a drum lesson starts running off at the mouth...and on and on and on. If a guy wants to be heard then take up singing.

[@roinebloom2807]

No, I didn´t notice that. But I really like the wavedrum. :)

[@bellavia5]

+Roine Bloom Swell RB. Sounds like your average trash can to me. They don't appear to be very popular. " Now I've got some of the very best snare drums in the world". Geez -nothing like blowing your own horn.

[@bellavia5]

+Roine Bloom These types of things are usually relegated to the production of movie soundtracks.

[@bolijack]

to much talks.. :-((

[@arnebarnard]

Gary Busey called-he wants his hairstyle back. And WHO peed on your T-shirt dude? LESS talk and MORE rock.....
