I loved how he talked about how he's done thousands of albums. It shows that you really don't need to have fast hands. The ones that get the call are the ones that serve the music and do not feel served by the music. They put the music over the drums. A selfish drummer kills music very quickly. With his groove, the music is unstoppable!

Dallin Stagg Amen!

@ogden700 9 жыл бұрын

Dallin Stagg Uhhm...are you declaring that Bernard Purdie (*Bernard Purdie!*) doesn't have fast hands? It may be possible to make a more arrogant remark than that, but I can't imagine quite how at this moment. For one, you have absolutely *no* idea--None, Zero, Nil*--how fast Mr. Purdie can, or can't, play from this one video--a video, note, where he is expressly demonstrating (a.) control and (b.) groove. But for two, total nobodies in the drum universe--like you and I--simply shut up and reverence in the presence of the divinities, not make backhanded put-downs in contemptible attempts to reflect some small glory on ourselves. I am sure that Bernard Purdie can be plenty fast if he needs, thank.-you.

@HybridFitness762 9 жыл бұрын

Bradford Northern Firstly Captain Keyboard Warrior, that was clearly not a declaration of Bernard Purdie having slow hands simply an acknowledgement of how someone can make it in the music industry as a drummer who FAVORS technique, groove, feel etc... over speed. Are you a personal friend of Bernard or do you just feel super offended when someone states their opinion? FYI not looking for a back fourth childish argument, simply defending Dallin Stagg as your reply came across as rude and condescending so why don't you calm down.

@ogden700 9 жыл бұрын

Ian Mc Neill Then stay away from deprecatory fixation on my motivation (irrelevant, not to mention inaccessible) and be clearer on your concession of my point of rebuke: a backhanded remark on the technique of a musician of Bernard Purdie's supreme eminence (and who, please note, appeared here, purely for our benefit, *pro bono*) is as deplorable as it is, which I show, entirely without foundation.

@Drumaier 9 жыл бұрын

Bradford Northern nah! you got his comment all backwards. And you are the one sounding as arrogant as hell dude with you attitude! did you read that he said that Purdie makes music unstoppable?. Plus what he says is plain true. The magic of Purdie isn't in his velocity, and even he is admiting he don care about playing fast and here he shows how fast he gets tyred. But that is not a problem, since heavy metal bands aren't his niche.

Mr. Purdie exemplifies what a gigging drummer should be. He understands that being the drummer means that he is in control of the feel of the band and what they accomplished is directly a part of what he inspires in his playing. Most of the time in commercial music is not the flash in your bang it's the bang that you give to the band. What a truly outstanding individual. Thank you drumeo for this opportunity.

He is the king of rhythm and the godfather of groove. The guy is a walking talking metronome, and humble as high heaven.

We all have that God given tribal beat in our DNA ! He is a delightful person ,Bernard is a charmer naturally ,nothing phony about him. The slower beats he was playing will help me with my weakness ,I have a whole lotta trouble playing slow for a long song.

OMG, Im wondering if this has got to be the longest solo known to mankind! Its my dream to be able to retain that many of beats, as Bernard. That Shuffle is Iconic. This Guy puts so much fun in Drumming. One of my favorite teachers, as well as drummers!

This guy even moves his hands and arms when he's not playing the drums in a rhythmic fashion. He must be counting beats in his head 24/7. I adore Bernard.

I have never heard of this man and since I am a jazz drummer I feel he should have at least be known by me. What I mean is I am glad I was introduced. He is a true statesman eh? I loved his quote. and I wonder if perhaps I did not hear about him because he is so humble. I try to be and since I lost my leg 5 years ago I have to be. And since I got behind the kit again one year ago this month I have continued to be humble because I have at least overcome that. You see, I am in constant, chronic and severe pain. 24/7 but I don't feel pain when i play or when I hear. thank you Purdie for that today. Your humility speaks volumes. I never would have made you for a drummer on the street but you sir do have a drummer's attitude from your laugh to your shuffle. Proceed good sir: Thanks for making my day. I just turned 49 and my kid was bullied at school for being Aboriginal and I kept telling you need to learn to have compassion and to pray for these people, so anyhow she was too upset to join her pa on his birthday on Wednesday but you made my week Purdie because I learned. My favorite was the reading of the statement you made about being a world class drummer. You are a master. After that I was all ears. Thanks Drumeo.

JohnFive Eagles Szuros Bernard Purdie has played with plenty of jazz artists, as stated in the video, Dizzy Gillespie, Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, Nina Simone, Frank Sinatra, Jimmy Smith, Sonny Phillips... Are you saying that you only exclusively play jazz? 'Cause first of all, I'm a jazz drummer myself but all my friends and I don't even play it when we first start out drums. I was (and still into) a LOT of funk/r&b/soul, James Brown, Tower of Power, Earth Wind and Fire, Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder before taking up jazz. Also many of my fellow jazz drummers are completely aware of Bernard Purdie and the groove he brings... his lessons should transcend for all drummers regardless of genre.

JohnFive Eagles Szuros he is far from humble, but in the most endearing way. He is a superstar in both the musical and human realms. I only learned of him a few years ago myself, through a Steely Dan documentary. Turns out he's played most of the music I've loved through my life.

Burnard Purdie is more that 'New Oleans' Drummer then a Jazz drummer. It is not an own Genre but maybe someone is here who understands what i mean ;)

@julianmedrano6196 9 жыл бұрын

I mean, Mr Purdie is right up there the great of all time! I would even say on the Mount Rushmore of drumming he should and would be right up there! Which brings me to my point of, who the hell are the knuckleheads who "disliked" this lesson? Unreal smdh!
