Yamaha | In conversation with Sonny Emory and Nathan East

[@vaughnchauncy8360]

Great.my drum instructor was a student of Sonny and he says Sonny is into straight up details of technique etc.Nate is just great...I love his playing as do I Sonny.what I 'd like to know is how Sonny developed that bass drum technique and keeping his hi hat foot in perpetual motion...wow

[@scpk2246]

[@jerryburdick8051]

[@zdrummero1]

You gentlemen are amazing 👏

[@steverussell7645]

I've loved Nathan for so many years. A phenomenal player - and just comes across as such a kind, humble guy. Sonny - first time I came across him was at Clapton's Birmingham UK gig last night - and boy can he play!!! Monster beats! He brought something distinctive to a number of the songs espy - giving them an extra flavour.

I briefly met Sonny at a clinic in San Diego back in the early 90's. he was a real pro and gentleman. a true ambassador of the drumming community. glad to see he hasn't changed. 👍

Sonny is so unrated ! One of the Drummers of pure Brilliance !!

[@seunpeter_olanrewaju]

Insightful!!❤

[@asimnicholsmusic]

So true what they said about concentration throughout the whole set. Something I have struggled with. I’ve found I need to keep it interesting for myself to stay locked in.

[@Bassic778]

Two of the greatest and most respected musicians on the planet!!! Great advice from experienced masters! Not only is Nathan one of the most accomplished, gifted, skilled, and recorded bassists on the planet but he's also one of the humblest and nicest persons! Yamaha definitely makes some of the best basses and drums in the business and the BBNE2 is one of the best basses I've ever heard! KEEP GOD FIRST!!!! YESSIR!!!

What model yamaha kit is that that sonny is playing. It is gorgeous

[@MykWazowski]

Looks Like Yamaha Live Custom Hybrid Oak in UZU Ice Sunburst finish, maybe?

[@Genesis-xd1id]

Legends

[@ziggysanderson]

I totally get the focus as the song moves on. That is a big part of the difference between a top professional and those looking to get there.

[@BlackRootsAcademyOfSoul]

The Yamaha Headless Bass that Nathan East has, was it a one off?

[@MooreDrumGab]

Two legends right here! Newbies!...pay attention, schools in! These cats get it.

I think do Ryan, thanks. Since I left my comment, I went on the Yamaha 2023 site and I found it. Never had an oak kit

[@YuliyanPetrovAleksandrov-rk6yo]

[@roberttaylor6600]

As a Bass player I know just what you mean keeping it in the pocket.
