#VFJams

[@wesleyhermanus6646]

This is the real VFJam!! You could tell this was improvised! I love his energy

[@WhelanDrums]

Agreed Wesley. Absolutely amazing 👊

[@1musikgeek]

No its not improvised lol

[@uncavallo2580]

Bro, didn't you hear some mistakes? Like "cut off", and some run out of tempo?

[@hermanmelville3871]

@@1musikgeek Check out the interview about it. Most of it is improvised except for a few written melodies.

[@1musikgeek]

@@hermanmelville3871 where u been? Been waiting for 2 years for someone to correct me!

[@timjjs]

Sax player is a beast

[@fleagalisyourdaddy]

Timothy S Jonathan Mones 👌

[@krioni86sa]

Is he Filipino?

[@fran991213]

Level Asian

[@sinewave9208]

Dude i didnt know that Jordan Peel from Key and Peel could play drums so well.

[@jeffersongrindle2305]

Reminds me of Brandon Fields who plays Sax and is a member of the Rippingtons

[@SeanSentDaBeat]

GOAT!!!!!!!!

[@jayworld4751]

Sean Wright i feel like your the goat along side with mike mitchell and devon taylor

[@Fabelnegros]

Robert sput on keys😲😲😲 and plays incredibly well ....unconceivable !

[@Fabelnegros]

😅

[@Drumminsince89]

Believe it or not, keys is/was his first instrument. He started on the road as a keyboard player.

[@cuahutemoctorres9934]

Kirk Covington and Gary Husband are equally absurd good at keyboard. Not to mention they are gods at drumming.

[@ocbfdog]

Drumminsince89 actually, drums was.

[@NOORPHANSTUBE]

I would really really like to see an album put out with all the Vf jams recordings. The arrangements mannnnn

[@Phoenix2772]

When all the players are so high in creativity like this,, its not even a challenge to express yourself... its all soul...

[@alexleedrums311]

I was not prepared for this, but I’m so happy about it! Masterful musicianship. Wonderful! Thanks for this!

[@yarpyarp85]

God Eric is truly one of the best musicians ever. Thank god for this series.

[@uncavallo2580]

Are we watching the same movie?

[@darry_lavis]

Jesus. This is deep.

[@drumrit]

right on. i'm shaking :'D

[@JazzDunn1]

Amrit Mehta mos def

[@marksimmonsjr.4520]

One of the most tasteful out of them all. Houston coming strong 💪🏾 Erick, Chris Dave , Kendrick Scott, Mark simmons , those 4 houston culture

[@smoovoperator5475]

I love the open beginning, gives the sax player a lot of freedom

[@yangarza]

Got incredibly excited as soon as I saw that thumbnail!

[@zsebestien7050]

he's so good at matching with any ensemble its crazy, you can really see who he is as a person through his playing

[@jimthesalad]

Eric Harland is just so goddamn goood. And for most ppl hes been under the radar. The guys playing is soooo melodic. Insane.

[@ericmickens6287]

Dude on that sax was destroying out there. Never heard anyone play like that before. Crazy skills bro and that drummer eric goodness gracious amazing.

[@carlop3019]

wow.. An amazing 70s free jazz tune in the Digital Era. God bless u Vic!

[@joshuajosiahcolumbus]

Omg the crazy polyrhythmic feels here this performance got me teary eyed so fucking good!

[@chrispiccirillo6724]

not only could I not play this in a million years, I couldn't even come up with the thought process to even try it. This is some next level drumming. literally smh.

[@matthewschaeffer4656]

Eric went in HARD!!! Damn I keep smiling

[@Copedrumz]

Love his style ... it’s always good to have some what of your own sound

[@byroncapalot3376]

I have been waiting for this

[@cjg786]

sooo smooth! I love this production.

[@tontinbagnole]

If Snaky puppy took more LSD than usual xD

[@brianmendelsohn2789]

So inspiring! Thanks Y'all..

[@davidmichaelsen9805]

Holy cow this is the house of badass musicians👍

[@梁爔]

The most jam-like performance of all vfjams, sounds like some bootleg from 55bar. Completely spontaneous, obvious hesitations and mistakes, but somehow they just put it all back together, that's the beauty of it.

[@th3gam3rsloung37]

Good job guys loved the Devon Taylor and Stanley Randolph

[@beachtreenet]

Wow, thank you!

[@63Baggies]

Michael Brecker has cast a very LONG SHADOW.....

[@jamespacia8610]

Man they went at it, killers 🔥🔥🔥

[@tonylancer7367]

Tim Buell, you gonna have fun with this one for sure. 🤣🤣

[@WhelanDrums]

LOVE IT! Tony. He's a challenge here that's for sure. He's got this 😀

[@VicFirthCompany]

Hate to say it but we decided to not do a transcription for this one.. kind of too free for anything that’d make sense

[@WhelanDrums]

Makes complete sense. I love the beauty in all this spontaneity. You all do such an amazing job putting these together. Thank you!

[@CarlHamilton1914]

I think I heard the transcriber throw his pen and paper on the ground

[@treyGivens1]

no way someone was actually transcribing this?

[@eliborg]

Kelvin GivnensIII Tim Buell does thr transcriptions

[@brandmeow9014]

7:35, one of the most soul driven transitions and grooviest finishes of all time.

[@llanckin]

OF ALL TIME????

[@dayvddygital5246]

Yep.....ALL TIME 🤷🏾🤲🏾🌬🤲🏾

[@kamipaul6547]

The amazing Eric Harland 🙏🏾

[@miguelees]

sput was not the musical director in this episode, Harland was. the question that comes to my mind is whether they talked about this before they start playing cause sput is no smiling while he plays

[@BBT609]

Sax player was basically a resurrected Michael Brecker….like WTF...ERIC was FEELINNNN HIM

[@mar-zgarcia429]

This is at another level I’m sorry to say. Bring the jazz Eland

[@jostonhorton2191]

definitely the best one yet

[@miguelangelgarrido5128]

Que bonito y que asombroso!!

[@kishorekrishnan04]

INSANE alien time signatures.

[@ddrum1090]

majority is in 6/8 and 4/4

[@kishorekrishnan04]

Jack Heet Sorry but I'm quite new to drumming.

[@TronciM]

Kishore Krishnan its more subdivisions and polyrhthyms

[@matthiasfoyer4029]

Good luck transcribing that 😂 Great playing tho

[@alonsolopez8732]

hahahahahaha

[@othmandjuliarso7049]

hm, does VFs website has no transcription too? apparantly the only VFJam that doesn't have the transcription.. 🤷‍♂️ @matthias FOYER

[@ohrid59mk76]

those SAKAE drums sounds so gooooood !

[@gagsman2]

You're the man, Eric!!!

[@meetgadhia2524]

What an interpretation if rythms and arrangement !! Fab. Fan

[@unknownyoutubechannel6196]

This is awesome! Btw, is there an interview for Stanley Randolph?

[@kyleeagle5563]

unknownyoutubechannel I really hope so

[@drumcorpsboy1]

Have fun transcribing this! It's too much man

[@classixdrummer]

Highly Zappa-esque, the work with Micheal Brecker specifically. Loved it.

[@wesleyhermanus6646]

This guy is crazy!!

[@vipersix3]

Awesome sax and awesome bass drum beaters!!

[@kyleeagle5563]

This has got such a snarky puppy feel. And I looooooved the sax player!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@alanuren5635]

snarky puppy wishes!

[@johnharing5204]

What the hell is going on with the cymbal on the far left? Is that a drum head?

[@Regorsnare]

I’m guessing it’s so that there’s no stick definition?

[@drumrit]

I could've cried

[@yarpyarp85]

dude thought i was the only one.

[@pedroahets]

INSANE!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤❤

[@tylerkenyon-rice9315]

His playing is so free!

[@Moises-iq5km]

Perfect yes

[@japaobateradrums2067]

Só tem mestres da música aí show d+

[@scottson2]

Reminds of Herbie Hancocks pivotal 3 1970s albums... ;) and why I HAD to thumbs up this masterpiece. :)

[@adrianlyord3978]

Reminds of Herbie Hancock's music and Eric's Drumming is dope!

[@NoStickTricks]

So I can't find the transcription for this one. Is there one? Or was this actually to crazy to put into notes as it is to put into words.. :O

[@udomatthiasdrums5322]

Still love it!!

[@nicolacilli6183]

[@SamuelSmithDrums]

The only thing funkier than his perfect mustache is his perfect playing

[@uncavallo2580]

Same as told to another guy: are we watching the same movie?

[@anotherdemian9090]

Extrem jazz Harland

[@joshuaduquez9835]

Can’t really tell the brand but Is he rocking sakae drums now? Whatever brand those drums are, they sound THICC

[@vladeguignimusic]

Joshua Duquez He has been using Sakae since they separated from Yamaha..

[@marconoto4261]

Sakae Almighty Maple.

[@DRUM011]

yeaaah ! Nice video #VFJ

[@ddrum1090]

what drum kit is that?? Sounds incredible

[@andreasbreitwieser1449]

Sakae

[@Desalisme]

looks like Sakae Almighty

[@marconoto4261]

Sakae Almighty Maple. Birch kits have black finished interiors, maple are clear. Aux snare is a Sakae stave Cypress.

[@andreasbreitwieser1449]

8:08.... then the 16" is a birch.......@@marconoto4261

[@marconoto4261]

Andreas Breitwieser I think you are right. Leave it to Eric to be eclectic and mix it up. The birch would be a more focused sound in the larger FT. Good eye for detail Andreas!

[@blakebortles23]

sput on keys got damn

[@ericullom7870]

what is the bottom cymbal in his mini stack?

[@tontinbagnole]

Harland's like ... his feet and hands are different people ! xD

[@Atarijunkie72]

Harland!!! OMG

[@stevevorass]

Oh my gawd!!!!!!!! 🤯

[@t.montonmusic9344]
