"WE really do not have to talk". One sure sign of a great friendship !

[@yl6908]

They are so happy playing together. Great musicians. Positive energy.

[@mdsharifulislam151]

I am a fan of Yanni since 1997. I remember how Charlie played his drums in the concert at Acropolis. Since then I became a fan of Charlie Adams too. Long live Yanni and his team.

[@robw1063]

Md Shariful Islam my best memory as well!

[@amirkhannoir3946]

THE DEATH OF YANNY !

[@LudwigSC93]

His Ludwig's sounded amazing on that concert.

[@boomer3150]

@@amirkhannoir3946 Yeah, right clown.

[@mitrafotovatian7255]

,the best drums in the world Charlie 👍👍👍I love you❤

[@EngineeredTheMind]

Not sure what it was about today, but for some reason decided to look up Karen Briggs on twitter, started tearing up... One of those moments where it really hits you how your music has impacted m throughout my life. I'm 38 now, still remember it like it was yesterday seeing Live at the Acropolis on PBS then sitting there on repeat dial trying to get tickets when you came to Minnesota. Through ups and downs through all these years, still coming back to your music. Then seeing this video on how you two have known each for so long. I think there's a whole generation of us out there that got exposed to your music by our parents when we were kids, and you've been there along the way. Just wanted to say thank you! and hope to be able to see you live again.

[@TheSGIIIShow]

The man’s solo from the Acropolis is so well known!!

[@miroslavm2553]

Charlie Adams' skills is fascinating. His talent is extraordinary, he is simply unmatched. And being Yanni's best friend tells a lot about his great character. I admire you and I love you all.

[@keithshowell6688]

Charlie Adams is one of the most under rated drummers I've ever heard. He is a "Buddy Rich" technician and his drum rolls are some of the most crisp in music. Thanks Charlie and Yanni for "Live At The Acropolis" ...and for Karen Briggs too. Amazing Music history!

[@beautu6807]

Пусть всегда будет ваша музыка

[@beautu6807]

Я жду весёлых

[@beautu6807]

Все равно хочется сказать вам спасибо

[@OneakRoller]

There are so many more talented underrated musicians than famous. Missing the self managing shit or something or totally shit about the meaning famous :D

[@ryangrissom7476]

I'm taking lessons from Charlie right now!

[@gage4g]

The most incredible drummer I've ever watched.

[@АндрейНиколаев-ы9ц]

Happy birthday, Mr Adams/ 70 years and never missed the beat !Congrats!

[@dineshvyas]

World needs more people like you.

[@xavierjarquin-gallard3105]

Wow, talk about FEEL THE LOVE (between them, and each of them projecting it to all of us too), huh?!!! I had the pleasure of meeting Charlie after one of Yanni's concerts, and he told me how he's been playing with Yanni from the very beginning. He had such a humble loving vibe. God bless them both.

[@apologeticajosecarlos]

I saw your orchestra when you came to Puerto Rico in 2013. Charlie Adams is in the good sense a maniac musician or a beast if you prefer. He is very impresive. Love your music Yanni.

[@richieosborne7477]

Charlie is not only a GREAT musician but also very humble and nice guy! Which is a rare combination in the music business, my son Chris Osborne was lucky enough to be one of Charlie’s students, such an awesome teacher! Best wishes and thanks again Charlie!!!

[@michelebarela2644]

Sure thing. When he's not drugging women with Yanni and using them. Pig.

[@Mark-pp7jy]

These musician's are the complete package. I love the variety of instruments, including the cello's. They reach a place deep inside!

[@lm1584]

4:55 - these guys FEEL the music instead of thinking about it .... wow

[@EQUALLYBALANCE]

I absolutely love how Yanni is in touch with every aspect of the artistry that makes his music an experience. Yanni is who I think of as master class.

[@StevePohlit1]

Went to the Clearwater concert 4-24-18 I did not know what Charlie does is even humanly possible. He is incredible and the concert was off the charts.

[@OdeeOz]

Yanni, and Charlie's music are EPIC! Thanks for sharing, sir. May you both continue to be blessed in all things.

[@enriquesoto6534]

An absolute treat to see they are very close!! Loved Yanni since the beginning, those 80’s albums are crown jewels 💎💎💎💎💎 Cheers!

[@samratjpatil]

My introduction to a real drummer in the 90s when there was no internet. I remember vividly Charlie brought the house down on the marching season solo while I watched it on TV with my jaw dropped.

[@drummerboy2521]

Great Positive Energy those two posses! I love Charlie's Strength, speed and face reaction to Yanni and the audience when soloing.

[@mikevonkleist6767]

One of the happiest times in my life is when I saw Yanni at the Acropolis concert. Brilliant performance. His mom was there. That said it all.

[@patrickminikus]

Charlie is as good as they get !!!!! A master of percussion :)

[@sylvibahr9834]

Charlie still has that mischievous look in his eye that made him spin upside down years ago! So glad to see that you are happy with life.

[@DAVIDJOSEPHmusic1]

I like Yanni's expression when Charlie plays. It's icing on cake

[@christopherjohnathan379]

Mr. Yanni is one of the world's best musician. He always humble and like to introduces his co-musicians to the worlds. May the lord always blesses you Mr. Yanni with good health.

[@danakiecker3376]

You blew me away with that revolving drum set at the Gibbon Ballroom back in the early 80's. From one drummer to another, you will always be my idol.

[@ellooku]

My Favorite Drummer World Wide.

[@my31and37]

Was able to meet Charlie after a Yanni Concert...super nice guy!

[@mikemather5]

Love Charlie Adams - didn't grow up in Joliet, IL, but know the area. Play percussion as well, and keys, love your work Sir! ♫

[@jimjohnson5752]

Adams is the king. His fun with the drums is awesome.

[@CarlosPerdomo]

I love these Master class videos, Yanni.

[@Manyhats502]

Back in the early 90s on a small black and white television on public television i watched live at the acropolis i fell in love with this duo with standing in motion. Such talent.

[@Jane0311]

Charlie you are the best friend of Yanni...for as long as Yanni still able to be on stage..... fighting👏👊👍🎶😇🇨🇦❤️

[@asraharrison]

I know it's too soon. But, the best drummer in history just passed away; Long live Neil Peart and RUSH! Charlie is now in my top 5. Ive seen you boys in concert many times.....Marching season is such an incredible song. I know your history and I know that song wrote itself! Charles, is a master of....13/16 time. Marching season is IMO the best technical piece of music ever written/performed!

[@craigbeuker7636]

Years ago I dubbed Charlie as Animal from the Muppets because he is just sooo crazy with the drum kit in concert. ANIMAL!!! Love you guys!

[@ευαγγελιακαλλινη-ι5δ]

Congratulations both of you! Mr. Adams, I bow to your talent, for our patriot, there is no doubt that he is the best!!!!lot of wishes

[@gauravramasani9395]

This drummer is just amazing. He inspires me everyday to keep playing in band and to help out my percussion group. Thank you Mr. Adams! Hats off!!!

[@killermist]

You have found how to do what you love in a way that you love. I love that. I envy (in a good way) that ability to merge those things.

[@gerardomasaya4618]

I love you guys GOD BLESS YOU both and your family and your entire crew, I hope to see you here in Alberta Canada. Since day 1 when I watched your concert on TV LIVE AT THE ACROPOLIS 1994, inspire me to be a musician. I’m a drummer now in my church I’m serving. Again GOD bless you YANNI TEAM.

[@terrycissell1314]

WOW, Love your story Charlie. I suffered much of the same letdowns but God blessed me with my family and taking care of them came first. Love your work as well as Yanni at the Acropolis. BLEW ME AWAY

[@arundhatigupta6872]

I enjoyed this interview with Yanni nd.Charles Adam's vry vry much,they r the craziest duo I hve ever seen or heard!!Since they r childhood friends nd more like brothers I can imagine the pandemonium in their house driving the mothers nd inmates crazy right?Yanni is vry gentle nd funny at the same time whereas Charles is the more boisterous one.Carry on with your togetherness nd camaraderie.

[@orlandosanidad6342]

Yanni has a great personality and very appreciative to any kind of sounds easygoing and a fun-tastic to be around with for sure.

[@mattakaragianni4364]

YANNI YOU ARE A WONDERFUL PERSON!! WE ADMIRE YOU AND ALL YOUR ORCHESTRA, EACH AND EVERY ONE !!! THANK YOU ALL. GREECE HAS CREATED A LOT OF YANNIS...BUT YOU ARE THE ONE AND ONLY ONE!!!!

Thank you 🙏🏽 for getting the drummer, he’s helpful to my brain and for clarity. My eyes 👀 see without distortions and premature decisions. Drummers are blessing to have especially for self on a bad day🤔. Both of you are a blessing for each other especially those yucky days😏. The orchestra you have Yannie is a delight and treasure. I pray people come to the Lord through your music. Thanks. 🙏🏽📖😇

I have a chronic painful illness, however, didn't allow it to stop me from seeing him! Even got to high 5 him at end! If he comes back next year, will be on phone, as soon as tickets are available! Also, will pay extra, for meet & greet! Love, Charlie's solo's!! BTW, always wondered why the plexiglass, thanks for explaining!👏👏💖💖🎹🎹🎵🎶♩🎻
