So happy to find this. It blew my mind when I found out that Stevie wrote and played all his drum parts.

The beat by itself is so amazing I could just listen to it for hours on end.

the funk is strong with this one

yesss !! New Stanley Randolph stuff on drumeo always make me happy ! One of my favourite drummer !!

Kick drum: 1:49 Hi-Hat: 2:18 Snare: 2:44

Seems so easy, but so complicated at the same time. You make it look so easy

Watched the entire lesson and each time he played the groove I was really hoping that bassline would just kick in! :P

Very cool drum set up, it's like a right hand set up mixed with a left. Great drumming, hits right to the heart

Possibly the funkiest drums ever written. Masterpiece.

Hearing AND seeing that is why I'm so GREATFUL I'm Alive!! I loved the drum lesson at the various tempos, and the ending made my body get the chills. Drumeo!! Stanley!! Thank you!! :D

I got to know about Stanley and his concert in London in 2005. So glad he’s doing tutorials.. my favorite drummer

Sir obviously a great job. Love that you show the main grove and then show how to make it your own. Very cool and chill. l learned lot from this video, THANK YOU FOR POSTING. Also love your philosophy on drumming and how relaxed you are when you play. Keep on grooving Sir. Best, m

That is such a cool-as groove ...and man you literally embody that groove when you teach it to us eager souls!! Thanks heaps!!! ...and people of Drumeo - love your session - could you please have one vertical point-of-view camera directly atop the drummer so we can see the placement of the drum elements and the flow of how he plays?

Not only great instruction, but an inspired funk explosion at the end that I can't wrap my head around. Awesome.

Stanley Randolph- My new go to! Broke it down nicely. Great approach an d good vibes. I'll keep an eye out . Thank you.

Such a great drum part! it's so iconic! Thank you for teaching it!

I so love this. He rips. And he inspires!

Stanley Randolph, what an amazing guy and drummer ! He plays the drum part and I can hear the song, wow !

Wow. Blown away by your ability and the sound of your kit

God bless drumeo, Stevie Wonder and Stanley Randolph ...you for a fantastic lesson...wooh

You are amazing!! Love your groove. Natural talent.

Mary sweet mother of Moses the sound of that kick and snare make me happy ;) Excellent job explaining this groove!

I’m sorry to say this brother….Stanley Randolph should have had at least million views, On this all time Stevie Wonder beat “Superstition “ , Amazing flavor you play the best one I have heard of on YT drums only, Rock on bro!

Thanks! teaching my son to play this on drums while I'm singing and on keys. He's only 7. Great lesson

Very nice! great drummer right there..! One of my faves!

So fluid, Fundamentally sound, Great job bro !

Dude is playing music! Not just a drum 'beat'! 🙂🙂🙂

A+ for style dude...that hat, oh man that hat! Keep it groovin man!

great chops bro and technique man I love it

Awesome, love it ! God bless you!

Now that is the way! Stanley .. my god man ! I’m playin it now! Love it ! You smoked it! I was just messing with that groove & looked you up! Thank you for that ! I got my $$ worth Stan, lol keep playing , we need ya!

I like this guy! Great Groove very cool feel! I give this an 11

This is great, on the original there's a greater variety on the hi hat which is really noticeable on the beginning- lots of slight opening and closing or hitting with perhaps different parts of the stick? There are also doubles on the bass drum from where the horn section comes in at 'a 13 month old baby' then. throughout the rest of the song

Thank you.....always loved your playing.

The best tutorial I ever seen!!!

Thanks for the lessons, super sick!

loves jamming on bass with this dude!

Nice kit! Love the groove too.

Thanks great video Tremendos help so were your drum notes keep putting up The Groove’s

I really like his tom setup on both sides of the high hat.

best funky song ever! good lesson!

I love this guys drum setup :)

So satisfying to hear him play! :D

I like how the hihat loops around on the original...to finish the phrase (and a 3 and a 4 e and). That's badass. :)

Love this groove

Great all time groove right there. Dope Jordans. Those the V's? Which ones(remakes)? Love the snare sound. What do you do for that fatness with the tuning and such?

He’s an excellent teacher

super awesome! Love it.

For all the doubters - There aren't doubled bass drums on the intro, no, but there are throughout the rest of the song. I too was shocked to discover it, as it's not immediately obvious in the mix of the original record. However, there is a multitrack file doing the rounds of the actual session, and if you get it, you can clearly hear doubled kicks throughout... Also, to mirrors points made, there is no strict pattern to either the swung hihat notes, the ghosting on the snare, or the pushing of bass drums. Stevie, on the original, is playing a groovy jam, not a strict prescribed part. There's no need to be too Nazi on trying to play this song verbatim, it's just a feel, based around swung hats and 4-on-the-floor bass drum The one thing that does fuck this part though is PLAYING IT TOO FAST, a crime of which 90% of bands are guilty... Sit back on it, and stick to your guns. Not everything is improved by speeding it up, this song especially

It sounds very cool!!!

Nicely done, Stanley.

Hi Stan! you the man, I miss ya as a drummer and as a human being! remember yellow flowers???? hehehehe. Blessings bro

It's amazing!

J'adore le groove de Stanley

Can you explain to 5.13 at the end 😂🤣 , I was in Paris Bercy in 2008 for the Stevie’s concert , what a great memory, thank you… and so funky

Great lesson!

He got funk in his veins. Awesome! 🔥🔥🔥

Yeah fantastic, You're awesome! 😎

yooo!! Jordan Vs! My fave sneaker of all time!

I heard Jeff beck came up with this drum beat. Like Stevie heard JB messing around on the drum kit and Stevie said wait and sat down and played this.

Yes SIR! Thank you for playing this song properly. Didn’t Stevie Wonder originally play the drums on his early recordings?

i love this man

He's is Stevie's concert drummer.

Really Cool Stanley

Thank You Very Funky Much! Saludos desde la mística Xaman Ha

never mind the groove - I WANT THAT KIT!

Unreal Stanley 🔥

oooooooooooh!! Time to go and practice!

Thanks so much for sharing! I used to play this song in a cover band and I was NOT playing it right...

Proud of you lil bro!

Cool. You ROCK !!!!

Ermmm...that looks very easy :) Thanks

nice breakdoiwn thanks man

Wonderful 👏

Look at the marks on his snare, so focused around that area!

If my pedal and throne doesn't squeak, will I still be able to play the groove properly?

Stanley is super cool!

Great lesson, i thought it was just a basic rock groove all this time. Side note: I'm watching with headphones and for the price of those DW9000 pedals($650 US) cant believe how squeaky it sounds. Can't unhear it.

Nice groove

Insane❤

Thank you.

Thanks!

Very advanced is the force with this one

Great, thanks :)

anyone know what crashes he uses? and what size? They blend well

I really like it))))

Interesting setup

Stan know drums! :D

Grandma called, she needs her hat back for church.

How are you doing that double-kick so well?

If my memory is correct , Jeff Beck played this. Stevie got inspired , and said " I'm paying for the( recording) session". He wrote the tune and Beck Bogart + Appice recorded it 1st. But Stevie had THE Hit .

Very good . Somewhat like Sir Duke if I'm not mistaken

Would somebody please put some CRC on his throne!!

You know it's actually the mighty Stevie playing on this track!

#Solid #Funky #Killing ... :)) ... You got that "Gerald" sway @ 2:21 LOL

I am a rock fan. I wondered throughout the 1980s and 1990s who was the drummer on this song. I thought it was amazing. Had no idea this was Stevie Wonder until the mid 2000s. Stevie is my #2 drummer after John Bonham. He is in the line of best singers with Lennon, McCartney, Elvis, Marvin, Little Richard. He writes songs like Dylan, Lennon, Neil Young, Smokey Robinson. maybe the best musician we've seen.

Ya'll notice how musical the smooth throw off was @5:28 secs? Lol crazy

genio !!!!!

What type of snare drum did he use? Loved the muted sound it had

How do I get a similar hat like his?
