Thomas Pridgen - Insane Drum Solo over Pretty Brown Eyes Vamp 🔥 (MUST-WATCH)

Thomas Pridgen is not from this planet 🛸 Unbelievable speed and precision! 🔥🔥🔥
The tune is the intro to Breaking My Heart (Pretty Brown Eyes) by Mint Condition. Loop by @thaddeusdixon
My earliest memories of Thomas Pridgen are from the OG Gospel Chops video with Eric Moore and Joey Oscar from back in the day!
Pridgen won the Guitar Center Drum-Off at age nine, and at age ten was the youngest recipient for a Zildjian endorsement in the nearly 400-year history of the company. Pridgen is also naturally left-handed, but plays the drum kit as if he is a right-hander with his kit set-up right-handed. Pridgen has studied with David Garibaldi, Walfredo Reyes Sr., Troy Lucketta, and Curtis Nutall. He endorses DW Drums, Zildjian Cymbals, Evans Drumheads, Audix Microphones, and Zildjian Drumsticks (as of 2017). Pridgen was also the recipient of a four-year scholarship to Berklee College of Music in 1999 at the age of 15; he was the youngest musician to ever receive this scholarship.[2] He has played in clinics with Walfredo Reyes Jr. and Dennis Chambers. By his teenage years he had already done studio sessions with many Bay Area Gospel artists.

Thank you brother

[@Heavyperro]

Pridgen always plays on another level!

[@sethsballs8479]

Pridgen, Royster Jr and Garstka are out here playing on levels of world famous heavyweights literally twice their age. Insane.

[@fearmartyrwolf6257]

Amazing.. VERY well played sir!

[@jimpearson399]

The power! He beats the skins like they owe him money! He is gifted. That combined with his speed is unreal.

Yep!

[@cymandeh]

T be going ham!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@danielhale4679]

I honestly don't think I've ever seen Pridgen play a groove for more than about 4 seconds. Hilarious.

[@MeAndTheBoys_]

It's the ol' Gospel chops curse. Most of the drummers from that era play like this.

[@danielhale4679]

@@MeAndTheBoys_ yeah. I mean, it’s brilliant, but I don’t know what it means and it’s exhausting 😂. I’d love to hear him play some songs/grooves, that’s all.

[@LysgaardLightning]

​@@danielhale4679 lol. you han hear him Groove on so many albums.

[@LysgaardLightning]

@hempwickwizard good post. I love pridgrens mix of groove and ever evolving puls texture and rhythm. Like a rock version og elvin Jones. Prefer this way more than "Pocket" only players

[@dyamelendez]

@Daniel Hale kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5WmlGajg8dqqqc Here you go - now you can see him groove for more than 4 seconds.

[@vincentbaillargeon9139]

lets go!

[@ivanoespositodrummer]

Grande batterista

[@MrDarkstar620]

Nice. Should be fun to transcribe. His 32nd notes and use of rests is very much about the R&B vibe--depending on that style of form of course. Nice video.

[@nostrabox]

Reminds me of Shhh by Prince

[@bornr2797]

Love this power,speed style.....

[@iternityhuman1782]

Way beyond excellent!!!

[@silenta4423]

Been looking 4 that Mint track for years. Somebody please post it

[@portal432]

[@silenta4423]

[@nostalgiajunkie]

Gotta be bait lol

[@LarryDraughnMusic]

PLEASE post a video of you playing some pocket. The sheer audacity of you to even say something like that about a guy whose forgotten more than you'll ever learn and has more talent in his stick shavings than you ever will.

Wow, the most amazing hard hitting drummer since Billy Cobham.

[@deebop4904]

Thats not smooth. Very disjointed playing , throwing 6 strokes on the same cymbal. Blah.
