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

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.

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!

you can really see in yannis face how proud he is to be charlies friend. Awesome stuff man

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

Love both of you to pieces. Stay with forever, please! You can't imagine how much you're needed right now .... we need uplifting and laughter. You provide that very well.

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.

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.

This is insane, he's pure genius!!! Go Charlie!!!!!

Love it!!!! Thanks for doing these little musical vignettes with your fantastic musicians!

My Favorite Drummer World Wide.

Please do this with everyone on the team

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

Thank you so much for posting these videos with orchestra members. We love them. This tour was so much fun!!

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

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.

Yanni...love your humility and all these behind the scenes clips...AWESOME !!!!

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!!!

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

I just want to say... Thank you Yanni and Charlie for all that grat music and great drumming!!!

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

I love these Master class videos, Yanni.

I'm loving this series with the band.

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

another great master class video - thank u Charlie and Yanni !

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

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

Yes,Charles u r truly great with yr drums I simply loved it.

Charlie Adams.....so powerfull and crazy souds for show.... Thanks Yani and Adams. God bliss to you.

Great video. Thank you Yanni

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.

I've watched you since I was a child and your music was an inspiration to me as an aspiring drummer. To this day I still find inspiration through your music! Thank you and your crew for everything you've given us throughout the years.

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.

It’s amazing to have you on KZfaq. Thanks YANNI.

Awesome interview. I remember watching Yanni's concert when I was a kid and I knew I wanted to be a drummer. I never got to play on big stages but at least I played all over the world on little stages. Thank you Yanni and Charlie for the inspiration.

Love you guys! Thanks for the video!

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.

I love these one on one's with Yanni. Highlighting each of the musicians' talents is a great way for us to see and get to know them on a more personal level.

too fun you guys make me smile

Magical!🥰

I've had the pleasure of seeing Charlie play live 3 times on tour with Yanni. Both of you are top of your games! I wanna hang around with you guys and Jam!!

Love Yanni and all of musicians of his orchestra they all r great and well hearted persons too Charlie Adam is One of the best drummer I have seen

wooow...Charlie Adams is awesome!!! he is a master of drums!!! THANKS YANNI. WE LOVE YOU!!!

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

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.

Love this

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!

Charlie Adams and Yanni, wonderful

Amazing. Best wishes. ❤❤

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.

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

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

Fantastic!!!

Love your videos, Yanni

I grew up with you two. I used to follow you both all over Minnesota when you played in the band Chameleon. I loved watching Charlie and his rotating drum set.

I love Yanni and all of his band members ever!

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.

Frigging great drumming for sure!!!

We love you Charlie 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Hey Charlie! ;). Just wanna say I love your drumming to Marching Season. Every time I hear it I rock on. Do you have a master class video on that?

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. 🙏🏽📖😇

Amazing.. I love you Yanni 😍🤗🤗🤗💎

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

I like your music and you thank you sir god bless you

Great musicians
