Ferocious drum solo

Young and older drummers, this is some of the finest drumming you will ever hear. This is true mastery. Take note.

Weckl Colaiuta Novak, from that school/ drumming style, Gary Novak is my first choice, then Vinnie and Dave

Much like Gregg Bissonnette, Gary is one of the most underrated and complete drummers ever. Weckl's fluidity and control, Emory's chops, Vinnie's syncopation and power and plays every style at the highest level. Just a beautiful player.

Chile concert

I wish I knew so badly what drumsticks he was using they look heavy

Escuto Spyro Gyra desde a minha infância...Muito massa os temas...

Garbage...

I went to high school with Gary. Played football with him. He is an awesome person. I remember him telling me that he didn’t like rock ‘n’ roll music because he thought it was boring. I always respected that. It’s not until now that I understood what he was talking about.

audio fades @6'53 7 is cut out for the remainder of the track

Garry rockin' da shit out of Chic's Jazz ...😄

Davvero un assolo assoluto, potente, musicale, completo, senza flessioni, passionale, caspita....la batteria espressa al massimo livello....

At 3:13ish the fluidity of his hand is remarkable.

Uhm……yes!❤

What always amazes me is that typically drummers go from singles to doubles-roll when they play fast, Gary goes full blown singles. Sounds like thunder.

Amazing player(s)!!!!

5:54

Jesus Christ!!

Wish I could do that! Hell.

Hey! I also use K's (..and here similarities end... sadly...)

Pretty amazing, but he's no Wekl or Erskine.

One of the most Face Melting exhibitions of sheer drumistic prowess ever!

He was so metal in that epoch. It's funny hearing Chick with a guy with that kind sound, but I'm not complaining ,I love metal too.

Novak is right up there with Weckl, Colaiuta, Rosenblatt, Lenny White and others. "Underrated" is a dumb term, though. Just because you don't know about him don't mean he's underrated. It only means you're just not paying attention.

叩きすぎ。

A keyboardist friend invited me to go along with him to see Chick corea at a club in hickory North Carolina back in the early 90s. It was an amazing experience. Even more amazing was the drummer, who I'd never seen before that night. He was absolutely astonishing! Almost 20 years later, I recognized him on a RUclips video, playing for a Chick corea. It was that same long-haired guy from back in the '90s with that unmistakable power and astonishing technique! I've never heard anyone like that in a live setting before or since! I'm glad I finally know his name. Gary Novak is an absolutely astonishing drummer.

Wish I could time travel to watch this live

left hand of god

He was around 21-22 years old on this tour. I saw this show in his hometown Chicago and Chic gave him this solo spot in the first song. Standing ovation for 5 minutes 🔥

❤❤❤❤❤

When I first heard “Paint the World” I just couldn’t get a grip on the drumming. I was floored; for several years.. 🤣 IMHO Gary is right at the very top among the best in the world.

sin palabras, solo verlo y escucharlo,espectacular Gary NOVAK

What happened to this guy. Is he still out there? Those Yamahas sound awesome.

Not underrated by Chick Corea

Wow

stunning!

Saw him once as a kid in a tiny little jazz bar in Prague with Michael Landau, actualy not realising it was him. After like half and hour of calming smooth jazz/rock/blues flow Gary played like one and half bar of a chop and I remember myself instantly going like "who the heck is that guy". I didn't know by that time that he was (and in my opinion the best) Elektric band drummer <3 Love him since then.

He is a God

Still my jam!!

Very underrated his left hand has its on brain

Wow!!!

First heard him on Holdsworth's Sixteen Men of Tain album and was blown away by that. But THIS? Forget about it. Those perfect lightning fast single stoke rolls all over the kit are something else. The guy is a fucking monster.

Kills Weckl.. He's a giant but this is another level of painting

DOVE POSSO TROVARE LE PARTITURE (SPARTITI) DI TUTTA LA DISCOGRAFIA ? 🙏🙏🙏🙏

In the chick universe of excellent drummers Gary Novak's distinctive style stands out.

favourite holdsworth drummer.... it's making my forearms and wrists ache watching him....

What drum kit is he using?

Drum savagery. One of the GOATs.

Incredible single stroke roll

Here because Matt garstka told me to be
