Steve Jordan said it. Music is life. I can relate to the Miles Davis in one ear and the Beatles in the other. Keith Richards brought me here. Thank you Steve. Great story's.
Such a great video...full of very good suggestions and advice from a living legend! Thanks Steve Jordan for sharing your back-beat groove with us all!! Little Drummer Channel ;)
Mr. Steve Jordan's performance on the John Scofield ELECTRIC OUTLET album (1984) is probably one of the finest in all of recorded history. If you appreciate drumming, it's essential listening.
What can be said for the man that plays in Keith Richards' side project (you better be more than just good); then you are picked by none other than Charlie Watts(R.I.P) to fill in when Charlie couldn't resume part of a tour for the Rolling Stones. Now he is in the drummer's throne for the Rolling Stones since we all recently lost Charlie Watts. Steve Jordan can absolutely do the job, and does it above and beyond! Rock on Steve.....
We grew up da same & music has changed,sadly our schoolz needz 2 stop removin it from our schoolz...... Da rapz has 2 much adult containz n it.. But MUSIC RULEz Da WORLD..... God Bless Bro!
Yeah that's like the worst thing, I always tell me bandmates that if any of them mess something up either no one notices or no one cares but if the drummer drops even a single beat it gets everyone's attention. Extra pressure
+Giordano Rosadoni I think its a Ludwig Supraphonic. I don't think he changed his snare in this video though, The one in the beginning is the one in the end.
He is not just a drummer, he is a true MUSICIAN. He can really make his drums SING!!!
Steve Jordan is the ONLY acceptable human that can wear sunglasses indoors.
A god among us drummers
Poor Stevie Wonder. :(
+RekkkHacilar LOL!...and Stevie Wonder. Sorry Stevie!
+Rob “Beatdown” Brown Joe Morello could get away with it too when he was alive :)

this dude is a BEAST. i don't even play drums and this dude inspires me
"Music is life". So true. I love his passion and his story about performing with James Brown on the Letterman show.
Literally, music is life as we know it. Everything is frequency and vibration.
Jonah Martinez Could'nt agree more
Steve Jordan is an amazing drummer and human being!
Steve Jordan, love your passion! Thank you for sharing you journey, so inspiring!

Brilliant player, wonderful man and a gift to the world at large...
It was and you Steve played absolutely amazing I was trying to catch my breath when you guys finished it was amazing small set ❤
Gotta be the coolest player out there. Great dude. This is such a great discussion by Steve. Amazing sound he has. Intangible excellence.
When he said it was the greatest Letterman performance of all time I thought, mmm, OK. Just watched it and it is. Amazing.

Favorite drummer
i saw him with clapton mind blowing. watch the blues brothers live at winterland 1978 best drummer ever!!
Talent and no doubt loads of work and reflection
I watched that David Letterman video. That was intense! I'll bet that was one of the biggest nights ever on that show.
It's just too bad he fucked up & got kicked off
the show! He had a really good gig with
Letterman!
and god, Will Lee was amazing on bass that night, so funky
truthbtold what'd he do to get booted?
Music is life! Great guy!
wonderful! very good! amazing!
this guy is soon 58 years old...looks like 35
Black don't crack!!!
58 years young. This guy.
@Anonymous Explorer nice math
5:35 he sums everything up about why I love playing. I am not a control freak by nature, but I love the pressure that comes with driving the ship.
100% right, backbone of the band
Man,he tells good stories
What an awesome person and great drummer... I would love to jam with him just once...
The James Brown on Letterman is my next recommended video. Can't wait to see it.
FAN since 1978 ! My idol ! 1st !
This made my day
By far one of the greatest drummers today.
"Music gives live. "Music sustains life."

Same man same...
Great man and great musician
it seems like the "Waiting on the world to change" ,beat
it the one from 'I got a woman' live from the John Mayer Trio
Steve Jordan...Aki olyan pontos, hogy órát lehet hozzá igazítani!👍

Greatness!
I'll never forget James Brown on Letterman. That's right. Hirum Bullock was before Sid. Backing James up must have been the Holy Grail.
What a beast
yeahhh....a new video of Steve....he could probably do a show alone and people would watch

Damn right Steve the Tami show was the greatest ever...
Maestro
This ride cymbal is amazing!!! Is it a giant beat or a 2002?
The Stevie Wonder of drumming!
Very inspiring thanks Steve
Filling in for Charlie watts this fall on their live shows,it should be interesting
Yeah that's like the worst thing, I always tell me bandmates that if any of them mess something up either no one notices or no one cares but if the drummer drops even a single beat it gets everyone's attention. Extra pressure
Dat snare.
That snare he uses at the beginning is just PERFECT. Anyone knows what's that?
+Giordano Rosadoni I think its a Ludwig Supraphonic. I don't think he changed his snare in this video though, The one in the beginning is the one in the end.
+Giordano Rosadoni Actually it looks like a standard Yamaha steel snare.
Ironically I believe that the greatest Live TV performance was Neil Young SNL 1989. Steve was playing drums that night. Hmmm
Bass player CANNOT “flub” that is instantly noticeable!!!!
Parents influence, lucky guy.
This is the Letterman performance Steve is talking about: ruclips.net/video/miwzvkESBI8/видео.html
i just realized how low he plays his hats
lazaro ramos
5:32 is Waiting on the World to Change
His ego can feed africa
he is not playing drums in this video.
Hes too overrated.
His CV would indicate you are seriously mistaken. Pro drummer, top division.
I agree with Paul Bentley. I've been a fan since I heard his name on the Blues Brothers LP.
Is he drunk?
