[@stantonmooremusic]

Thank you so much to the whole Zildjian family for having me. Sput and Ghost-Note were such a pleasure to play with. I truly had a blast!

[@robocairo]

Thank you, #groovepornalert!

[@IsmiseEireannach]

Sounding great man !

[@willrockdesigns]

You are flawless sir! Thank you for what you do for the drum community.

[@bspaint651]

I remember hearing Galactic for the first time probably around 2000 and being blown away, seeing it live for the first time 4 years later, even more so. Now here we are 20 years later on KZbin and you still keep raising the bar. You're drumming is as incredible now as it was when you first inspired me

[@allongtin1243]

Incredible talent and skill you and the band have. Outstanding production. The future of music is clearly bright when Stanton Moore is still playing.

[@chrisjames5865]

I came home from work the other day and my drums were watching this.

[@michaeldeleon8272]

12:13 This man did a 4 foot high closed roll

[@cfb98n]

Damn...damn...damn.. stanton left me speechless

[@viktormuerte]

Mr. Moore like a lot of New Orleans drummers sound like they're on the verge of a mistake that never happens. Unreal.

[@patrick9445]

It's that greasy semi-swung NOLA feel.....love it!

[@Jrenglehorn]

No kidding man. Eddie Christmas, AJ Hall, Stanton Moore. Damn. Combining funk, street beat, jazz shuffle.... it's an art.

[@viktormuerte]

@@Jrenglehorn not to mention Ziggy. 😁

[@Baribrotzer]

@@viktormuerte Or Johnny Vidacovich: Stanton's teacher - obscure outside NOLA, but a legend in his home town.

[@viktormuerte]

@@Baribrotzer oh I know who Mr. Vidacovich is! I think he taught Brian Blade too. It's criminal that he isn't more famous. Fun fact: Brian Blade name checked him in his Mama Rosa album.

I didn't know Stephen Colbert and Logic had a son. Either way, he killed it.

[@Johaneeeek]

[@matthewpullicinomusic]

This is definitely Sput's most 'musical' arrangement for Zildjian live yet. So tasty!

[@Rhyscooperdrums]

He didn’t write this :)

[@Rhyscooperdrums]

Stanton Moore and a few others did :)

[@dkhemmen]

He still might have arranged it though, not sure

[@paulward6338]

Stanton wrote it but Sput change alot of the arrangement he a genius whatever instrument he touches

[@krioni86sa]

Tasty?? It not even tasty. It's boring and not musical. This is overrated. They just rely on commercial success and Zildjian sponsorship.

[@elijah-kingrichards4968]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate that Aaron spears is KILLING it with the host job!!!

[@fran991213]

He look a lot nicer when he’s not chewing gum

[@joshstevens1401]

[@charlescoe5315]

True dat. He's a natural. And his own Zildjian live set was insane.

Brings me back to when his “Modern Approach To New Orleans Drumming” DVD came out. What an amazing pocket he has!

[@SimonHintonNZ]

So good loved that DVD!

[@ReubenLujan]

Dude!!! You'll be on here next!

[@joeljewitt3098]

Hey I was going to send you this!

[@logantodd6500]

Yessir! I grew up on the Groove Alchemy book. Love how Stanton pays homage to the greats while putting his own spin on things.

[@tillmannschurfeld6702]

one trillion percent agreed! so so good!

[@oceanographic]

This series is literally a gift during a time when I miss live music so much! It's beautifully produced and oozes positive vibes and joy.

[@tjdaniels3706]

Dan Phelps do u know Jake phelps? Y’all have the same last name 😸 R.I.P Jake phelps tho

[@oceanographic]

@@tjdaniels3706 I know of him, but there's no relation as far as I know.

[@tjdaniels3706]

Dan Phelps alright. I just saw your name and thought of him.

[@trock355]

I’ve had the absolute pleasure of hanging with Stanton a few times. Not only one of the worlds nicest people EVER, but a serious drummer in every aspect. People don’t realize how unreal his limb independence is. You can totally hear the Ziggy, Purdie, Tony Willams, and Clyde/Jabo in his playing.

[@timbrittsr.867]

I Agree with you Sir. I met this Gentleman in Austin years ago at SXSW. He did a Workshop then Culminate it with a 30 minute Of pure Tasteful Grooves. Truly An Humble Man and Extremely Gifted on Set.... Po’ Boy Sandwich Please...

[@DavidTimmePerc]

Oh yeah he is surprisingly technical! Went to visit him in NOLA last year to take some lessons and was blown away. Been a fan since I was a teenager, so cool to see Stanton always pushing himself but also staying very rooted!

[@martinrockport2485]

Stanton... damn, man... that's powerful. And Sput on keys... woah. And Neon on bass... groove, groove, groove. Great performance. Love it.

[@BlackenedNL]

The mixing in this series is CRAZY!!

[@benburget931]

Thank you 🙏

[@BlackenedNL]

Ben Burget 🙌

[@drumchanneltunnel5191]

@@benburget931 How did you mix it so good?

[@xanderwebb7998]

i really appreciate how the panning of the drum sounds mimics how it is from the drummers point of view not the audiences. it feels more natural to me as a drummer to listen to

[@filipberntsson6634]

@@xanderwebb7998 so much this. I have explicitly told technicians that have recorded me to do this because it's part of the "arrangement" in my ears. I feel disoriented when the sounds are misplaced in the room, listening back to my own stuff. (Let it be said that I'm a very amateur drummer and most technicians are expertly proficient and delights to work with. So this is by no means a stab at the sound guys. They typically make me sound better than I deserve to.)

[@Jeff-jz5pr]

This is what I call FUNKY CHUNKY😆😆

[@vasilias2230]

He became one with the band, it didn't feel like he was the spotlight tge whole time.

[@nealhere]

That is just what is needed every morning. “Coffee with Zildjians”

[@paulhoward4161]

I hadn't heard of Stanton Moore before. I'm now a fan.

[@AfterlifeBlack]

I'm so glad Stanton switched to Zildjian. These cymbals compliment his sound and style so well!

[@logantodd6500]

Watching this makes me realize how much Stanton influenced me! I love way he plays between the cracks and moves time forward with effortless variation. He always grooves. He’s such a hybrid...not straight NOLA not straight funk. Love seeing his style getting some love in today’s drumming scene.

[@shirleyrebecca723]

Love his Ghost Notes FLAWLESS and the Dynamics hands down, man I'm out of words,that band is full of STUPENDOUS Energy hats off!! 👏and the approach to Music is a whole other Level

[@Snook_]

Is it just me or does every episode of this actually just showing off how insane sput is? The dude can play multiple instruments at the level required to play this stuff. Its INSANE. Most musos would only dream of being able to play 1 instrument at this level. Sput is the true god here.

[@bigsilentkid.3677]

Not to mention he writes a lot of these tunes.

[@chrisjames5865]

Sad thing is Sput's spaceship will be back one day to him back to planet he's from....he's just on loan to us ha He's the MAN!

[@chrisjames5865]

Spoken like a true fan! Sput is not only on another level but he's playing a different game altogether

[@YouriLigotmi]

So much groove! I almost broke my neck!

[@bonbonafide2ko872]

......I'm STUPIFIED!!!.....The musicianship is otherworldly! OMG!! Ghost Note man..... Just WOW! Stanton Moore is a beast on this! I'm literally in AWE.

[@jimsuhy]

Stanton Moore, What an original and a true keeper of the flame for New Orleans drumming. Amazing. Great composition and Sput's Solo! Yes! :)

[@shootsbraw]

That snare sounds like a million and 1 bucks

[@simongingras4056]

I so love his funky groove with a lot of "loud" ghost notes in it

[@elcanaldefivs]

Anyone knows what snares he used in this video?

[@andresmarin5328]

That bassist.... my goodness, he´s the one sustaining everything... amazing performance

[@amanuel1789]

His every touch make the music feel so good 🐐

[@alhassani23]

Every other Zildjian Live Drummer: Let me just easy into this with a nice easy start. Stanton: Funk Mode 9000 engage. Seriously, the only video so far that in the first 10 seconds of playing I'm thrown back in my seat yelling "good God man!"

[@markmann860]

don't think you could say Thomas Pridgen eased into his

[@BassByTheBay]

@@markmann860 Ha, Pridgen doesn't ease into _anything._

[@gustafsone]

@@markmann860 Yeah, Pridgen's set was freaking insane! Not only did he literally start at 9000, he somehow managed to maintain it his whole set. I like how humble he was about it, too, because at the end of his set he said something like "I can't play it any better than that. I don't know what I"m doing on this chart.", and then somebody in the audience said "well it seems like you figured it out!" lol. Having said that, however, I'm a big fan of *all* of these drummers and would have a very difficult time picking favorites. I'm just enjoying the ride and I hope that Zildjian and Sput continue this beautiful charade every year!

[@luxlucetq]

Gergo Borlai too. The whiplash from my swinging neck was insane from start to finish.

[@discodq6175]

What a natural style. Not too much and not too little!

[@paulbudd3661]

I love this dude. What a joy to watch. He runs the gambit with signature grooves, his trio sound, a bit of galactic, and even some second line. That was magnificent!!

[@hawkrider88]

Just sick! Exhausting, crazy funky and Have mercy!!!! Wow...what a band and what drumming by Stanton!!!

[@Robert_Herring]

Absolutely killer, Stanton and GhostNote!

[@jhardycarroll]

Stanton is a hero of mine, one of those guys I always think about when I sit down behind the kit.

[@sandiledube279]

Goodness gracious. I could almost taste the musicality from Stanton & Sput. Wooowi that trash crash, maaann...

[@christianhasselbring3678]

Man, I don't even know what to say. Your style, taste, power, timing, virtuosity, playing technique, finesse, sound, fun to play / fun to watch you play ... and your diversity ... Galactica, Scofield, Garage A Trois, Corrosion of Conformity ...your meticulous work as Groove Explorer, your learning DVD ... and then this video! Wow!

[@chrisjames5865]

Christian, I think you may have left out a couple of adjectives....lol. jk

[@alhassani23]

I'll have to watch this a thousand more times just to still not understand what just happened to my ears. Seriously, the best one yet.

[@davidsuprenant893]

That was a spectacular line up of musicians.!!! Mr. Stanton Moore blew the roof off of that joint for sure. What an inspiration he is to the drumming community.!!!Dam he's solid.!

[@ReubenLujan]

There are no words. Players all around damn man I could feel all the vibes coming through! What an education and all these wonderful performances by all these amazing musicians thank you Zildjian and Robert Searight for all of this!!!!

The switch from matched grip to traditional at 07:58 is so elegant ... and during a roll to boot!

[@arctictropic1147]

What a frickin banger this song, props to everyone involved making it, playing it, and mixing it. You can totally feel the energy in this one, and it makes you want to shake your butt!

[@govtmule611]

I just saw Stanton Moore live in NOLA at d.b.a. Ive been a fan of his and Galactic for over 20 years. The show at d.b.a was awesome. So small. I had to tune into this killer recording. Moore was the best show during 4 days of jazzfest. He is a maestro on the drums.

This guy has different style, totally different than the usual gospel drummers... I can see classic and jazz formations.

The drum sound and tightest of the band on this one is in my opinion the best yet.

[@PHYLOgg]

This is definitely my fav Zildjian LIVE episodes so far. Such a great tune and awesome improvisation.

[@philatkinson3955]

I lost my index finger on my right hand. I like 3 fingered chords up top in the melody. Learning the 16th pattern in bass is awesome. I am a drummer and I played jazz piano as a kid. This has revolutionized my thinking. Life changing brother. Thank you. I love playing in a band when they need a piano tract, jump off drums and help out.

I think I've been to New Orleans about a dozen or so times, really I go for the food and the music, just a great town, but I have missed two things that I've always wanted to see there, that silly Ignatius Reilly statue and seeing Stanton Moore playing live.

Stanton has been in my top 3 drummers ever that have influenced my approach & playing (along with Dennis Chambers & Manu Katche) This is a treat - Long Live Garage a Trois!!! ✌️

Stanton Moore is definitely one of my favorite drummers. Got to meet him at a clinic about 8 years ago. Super cool and super funky. Just Amazing behind the kit.

[@slimyelow]

I found lost and forgotten reading glasses a year ago on a public bench in Germany. They look exactly like Stan's and I wear them to my tech meetings all the time.

[@slimyelow]

Techniques that allow parallel arms for drumming are just so liberating. It allows an open style drumming that is so free and entails so much power and variety as opposed to the ancient crossed arms - right hand hi-hat process.

[@maddock22]

Absolutely killer. And such a great mix. Well done engineers!
