Trilok Gurtu Zildjian Day in London (1995)

[@reginalddavis7578]

It’s this performance right here that made me a huge fan of Trilok Gurtu! His unorthodox playing and percussion/Trap setup is amazing! Trilok is a true master of the art of drumming! Certified genius!

[@filmusikchannel7596]

Simple Genius! Gurtu will be my drum/percussion hero.

[@mahajohn]

$*((!(2938*#=283292!!!! My sweet lord, Trilok Gurtu grooves in the spaces that most drummers forget to leave open. He is a force of nature, and he flows just like water.

[@perezfecto]

Gurtu is a one-man orchestra. He's the full package. Someone who's able to make actual music out of percussion. He says his main roots come from India and Africa, which is unquestionable but I'd say his style is universal. Way beyond any label.

[@heavymetalbebop]

I was there and spoke with Trilok, helped him load in too.Lovely person.

[@goofayoo]

He has a modified bass drum pedal under the bottom of a custom conga/floor tom. You can see it at 5:00, just above the bottom right corner. He was in Seattle on the Bad Habits tour, in 95, and I was fortunate to be at the front of the stage, just feet from him for the entire set. A true master, and a genuinely nice fellow. I wish he would visit the states more often.

[@beatsyndrom]

this the best ! go gurtu go, one of the most influential percussionists. trilok gurtu making magic...

[@seuradu8065]

Trilok Gurtu is one of the most famous indian percussionists on the world.

[@chucku00]

This guy is seriously connected to the DEEP roots...

[@shangeetibodo2496]

the Best! all around ! incredible originality and inner rythm. bless!!!

[@saaek]

Wonderful!! No words for this

[@johnpick8336]

Best Drummer on the Planet.

[@Taikomaniac]

I could list the most game changing players of all time in my palms and Trilok is one. He is THE EAST MEETS WEST the fusion and the unorthodoxial approach to kit playing. The palm is where the feel begins the stick is a mere extension. I wish I would of been a percussionist before approaching the kit

[@mateuszstaniec9333]

Sooo groovie and Oriental at the same moment, amazing drummer🔥

[@eddierivera8556]

Amazing! his spacing. patience. alot of time's cluddering is not the way. we have to learn to say something we can learn that from Mr. trilok Bless you sir!

[@Keepingyoung]

Have one of his old drumsticks sitting in my media room. Beautiful playing and beautiful memento.

[@brdnrd]

"Memento" (from the same root as "memory").

[@Keepingyoung]

@@brdnrdnoted. Gracias.

[@divorcestand]

Awesome Trilok ! fantastic melodies

[@krislewis9645]

Wow...I haven't enjoyed listening to drumming so much for ages. Thankyou, it was much-needed and appreciated SoulFood.

[@shawnbruce6934]

This Man is an Amazing Musician.

[@martianshoes]

His hand drum sound is delicious. Read about him on a reaction post and came here. Delighted....

[@patrickbrennan2864]

Which reaction post, may I ask ?

[@allmetaliswelcome]

amazing! very interesting to a drummer without a bassdrum

[@SteveMonti]

Absolutely loved that, the guys a genius, just love the sound of his kit too,his so called bass drum is massive - respect

[@Rum_barrel]

Outstanding!

[@jean-louiscousineau754]

Would have love to see Zakir hussain and trilok gurtu together !!!!

[@affectus942]

there's only one Trilok ! he's the best.

[@michaelweaver4589]

He is definitely one of the best I have ever heard. I saw him live in a small club in the nineties on his Crazy Saints tour, and he floored the audience on that night. I like his performances with McLaughlin the most out of his performances.

[@laterisaferondii1435]

Gurtu! Play on brother!!

[@bichomaldito]

His sense of rhythm and melody is amazing. There are very few drummers who can actually make music. Gurtu is a one man band.

[@badfozziebear446]

only very few drummers lol

[@drumngrewve]

Mother f*ck me batman, that was awesome!!!! Would watch his clip on a Zildjian promo VHS tape that was narrated by Jonathan Mover with a bunch of other Vinnie, Dennis, Calhoun, Keith LeBlanc clips, but this one always fascinated and killed me. After like close to 30 years later when i was a sophomore in hs and got said promo tape with my first 8" A Splash I have finally seen the whole performance! Wish i had seen it earlier but I'll take it!!! So funky, so fusiony, so F*cking rediculously awesome! Trilok has always been something else!!! We need more of him!!!!

[@Taikomaniac]

Trilok started it all in the mid seventies he civilized the ear of a drummer one of the greatest perhaps the greatest feel drummer. A true composer of the random walk theory. Weckl and Gadd has borrowed so much from Trilok its unreal.

[@russbass]

Mind blown!!!!!

[@sosti]

watched this guy live in Istanbul. He is too good to belive, makes you wonder if something is fake.

[@ser1tdc]

trilok in full effect! impressive!

[@davelanciani-dimaensionx]

I love how his "kick" drums are actually a few de-tuned Toms that he hits with the sticks. Wouldn't it be great to see him playing with a metal band? Hitting the double kicks with his hands? That would be cool.

[@a.nobodys.nobody]

Legend

[@keyurbarve]

unbeatable..master of percussion...that too in time signature of 3 1/2

[@stpidfl]

He prays when he plays

[@willy44]

Thank you yanke385

[@123LarsUlrich]

This is sick !!! man, it`s amazing !!! :P

[@MichaelWashingtonAE]

It's not scatting, it's konnakol counting and phrasing. It's an Indian thing.

[@Artikulo71]

[@chetandange9866]

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@king-manu2758]

I would have loved to see him with Pat Metheny. They they ever play together?

[@Monsterdrumma]

It is a 12" drum head in a board on his right side, currently he has been actually using a kick but believe it or not there is no kick here in this video or on this set. Take a look if you can see it here there are no bottom heads either and the shell is about an inch deep on the toms or whatever you want to call these things.

[@sanzit]

groove on !!

[@izk77]

daaaaaaaamn

[@ShijuneTakeda]

Wish the audio be more in sync.

[@AlenIlijic]

93, this was.

[@running.lawyer]

[@alessandroaldrovand1]

Does somebody know the name of the two drums on the left of the set??

[@pratikchakraborty9309]

No please tell

[@Axes83]

what kind of drum does he's using as a bass drum???? There's no tom that could reach that bass drum kind of deep sound.... anyone knows??? anyone can help me... I'm trying to build the same set in my apartment so....;)

[@enriconardini4370]
