Awesome video. That teacher is like, oh wait, I have to tune this $99 drum kit?
👍🏾👍🏾
Joyful
Killer Joe...he could've recorded that one song, playing on that could be his only claim to fame, and he'd still be an utter legend. Good Lord what a talent.
Grady was a great player but his comments and teaching skills are not that good. His concepts are good but not able to communicate them clearly. These drums just weren't tuned correctly. When tuned correctly for the correct style not a whole lot of muffling has to be done. Some for sure-but your finesse of technique is what controls the volume. For example you would most likely never use that set in a trio gig in a small lounge. You would also muffle Dixie different than Bebop.Actually contrary to his statement (and this is not always true in any style of music) bebop did have their drums typically wide open and not all muffled like a rock and roll style where it sounds like a box not a drum. He should of gotten their early and re-tuned the drums to accommodate his sound expectations. I am sure the teacher would not mind nor have any clue how to do it. Not impressed with his cockiness and ability to express ideas. he was a great player yes. Enough said-no offense meant to Grady.
One of the greats!
One of the greats !
Mr. Tate was a world class drummer. I especially enjoyed his work with Mr. Erroll Garner, world famous pianist. The $99 drum set is what it is and speaks for itself. :)
I love the fact that he focused on drum tonality. Tone is very important in music for all of the reasons Grady Tate mentioned and more...
love it!!
I miss him.
Lmao @ 2:10 the teachers whole demeanor changed when he called the drums garbage.
Growing Starting drums at 4 years of age I was introduced to Grady Tates Drumming when I was 9 years old my Drum teacher Joe (Skinny) Porcaro told me to study his techniques So my best friend great drummer also Butch Grasso brought me over Jimmy Smiths The Cat Any Number Can Win Monster albums I was Hooked and Blown away and by the way Grady can Sing he has a tremendous voice
You took lessons from Jeff Porcaro’s father! 😎 Great snare drum player. And I have to get back into that Jimmy Smith album I vaguely remember it
You hear that? Nothin`.....noise. LMFAO!
Fucking laughed hard when he said the snare was garbage! Thanks Master Tate!
Oldschool. He didn't prepare his presentation (tuning/muffling the instrument) but starts to rant about it when it's actually time to shine....
Up yours mate! The venue needs to provide pro gear. He is a master. wtf!
Most schools have crappy music dept. gear due to being under-funded, enduring years of abuse, and not being properly cared for/maintained. While I agree w/ Grady Tate that the drum kit is 'garbage', it was an easy target. At least he shows what muffling the batter heads can do.
Love Grady Tate!
These aren't drums.....I love it!!!
"sounds like garbage" while the teachers butt gets hurt. He's so on point, I'd be honored to learn anything from a legend like Tate.
Grady Tate is the man!
What a legend- thanks for posting.
Lots of meida programmed minds not really taking in the excellence at work here. Theres probably only one among them all who isnt thnking about how long before they have to bend over for a arze raping to get that money and fame and where is beyonce, hence why music is gutless these days.
@daremoagain69squared Well said, I agree wholeheartedly, thank you for saying this so eloquently.
Yeah this kit should have been muffled indeed, cause my speakers almost died around 03:15.
those drums be pieces of shit says grady tate. thumbs up
lol @ 2:19!
Tate is the man!
infofaith, while in high school, my daughter came home one day and told me a "friend of her teacher" dropped in on their glee club rehearsal. "who was it?", i asked. she nonchalantly answers, "oh, i think her name was 'patrice rushen'." i blinked hard and stood speechless in the middle of the kitchen. she was MY idol when i was younger!
he also does "I Got Six" - no wonder that's my favorite schoolhouse rock vid. mr. tate is the maaaaan!
And also did Fireworks
Amen!
Listen up drummers
Sometimes whispering is louder than shouting.
Good heavens! This is amazing. Do these kids know how lucky they are? I wonder if Grady Tate would come to Australia and, I don't know, just bless us with his presence. He wouldn't even have to do anything. There's a big soul/funk scene in Melbourne. We would adore him here. I wish I were a promoter, not just a retired secondary school English teacher!! I am in awe.
He's like one of those old "Masters" that just know everything. Would of loved to of been there. Do you have the whole video? cos that would be amazing. Thanks Xavier
Man, these kids have no idea that they are in the presence of greatness. Grady Tate, Jack Sheldon, Blossom Dearie and Bob Dorough taught an entire generation of us kids mathematics, English and history back in the 70 and I for one am eternally grateful.
True.
Probably a combination of adolescent introspection and feeling intimidated by having such a huge talent right in front of them.
Wow.. Great vid! Thanx njmih. btw: Do you have the whole thing ..that maybe You'd care to post here? Would be greatly appreciated ;) Thnx again
hey thats ms.davis in the back lol
hey this is my school and look at my music class..lol
You were in that classroom right?
Good post! "Schoolhouse Rock" fans will recognize this man's voice, he's the one that sings on the "Naughty Number Nine" short.
