vfJams with Devon Taylor and Joe Cleveland!

Devon Taylor and bassist Joe Cleveland dropped by the Vic Firth office at CenterStaging in Burbank for an impromptu jam session - and we rolled the cameras!

Amazing. One of the best sounding kits i've ever heard and both players are insanely talented!

[@maditayylor1]

Gentleman! Holy crap guys!! That was fun as hell to watch listen to and I'm sure twice as much to play! Incredible rhythmic sense you both have been blessed with. Both of you make it look, sound and appear so damn effortlessly. You listen well and have the natural instinct knowing where your counterpart may (or may not) go while taking turns doing fills and still able to meet back at the same house, on the same block seamlessly locking into the next groove. JOE- Almost fell out of my chair when you did that FN lick at 1:30 in. Serious chops and love the sound you make. DEVON, dig the hell out of your grooves, your feel and the damn sound you make! The beat you went into at 2:30 was just sick and I just might have to steal (I mean borrow) that one lol, but I'll always give you props at the end of the song to everyone 🥁😃 Looking forward to many more videos just like this in your future. Much respect guys!!! PS: The most impressive thing to me is though it was an impromptu jam, you both showed up "on time" for the unrehearsed rehearsal and that's what counts. BEING ON TIME getting to the gig/studio and BEING IN TIME while you're there 😉

[@christianboose444]

You ever notice that black people always make good musicians for some reason (no racism involved here)

[@Iwabas]

it's black churches that make great musicians

[@donaldham1218]

Iwabas Exactly and we get so much flack about playing in church like I just love playing , and personally I would love to go study my craft but I don't have the money so I honestly just listen and listen to every drummers material I can get my hands on off of here( From the oldies to the newbies to the classics) from Jazz to Pop, Rock, Reggae, Afro-Cuban or what not and study out of books on my own. Personally sometimes when I'm playing at my church, its nobody but the DRUMMER

[@Jburjan1]

NICE CREATIVE MUSICAL WITHOUT LEFT LEG I DEVELOPING I BE MONSTER SOON 9/8 NICE IDEA GIVE ME BASS I ENJOY

[@johnybozor2765]

[@russellknight0303]

Great drummer.. I just got sick of hearing that crash ride.

[@runningbull6178]

WTF

[@citydrums7525]

Kill jam. The drums sound sweet and the bad a** bass lines sing with a fret-less tonality to them....
