An even more mysterious young and great drummer, listen to anything by Tyshawn Sorey with Fieldwork, with Vijay Iyer. Truly a freak of displaced grooves, slick fills, and dynamic interplay. Awesome.
No wholes left here filled up all cymbals and drums as fresh today as yesterday love this cat truly one of my favorite players today and on my all time list because he has the attitude study and personality and some to be considered yes against anyone and no ego just prayer and effort and exploration and natural guts to go out on the limb heavy or light and find a piece of fruit that's just right and live to play another day love em! Can't help to think about a friend in Vegas at that time years ago ( Prince Franklin Vanderbilt ) another bad drummer they hold there heads the same way or is it the tallnest love to do a podcast with both of them great drumming I'm out west now but a east coast man Jersey peace
It is pretty amazing to hear how he continues locked on to the rhythm through his extraordinary riffs. Very cool! I wish someone would teach how that works!
I don't think you're stupid at all, but the groove is his thing. This is like, 120% groove. He is undyingly in the pocket, and knows how to just sit on the beat in the coolest ways. I mean, I know it's in a weird time signature, so it's harder to feel, but I think he's doing a pretty amazing job for such a difficult time signature to groove with.
All people here laughing at Drumwannabe17 are lame! He didn't say Eric Harland couldn't ever groove, he only said what he heard in this video, wich is actually unquestionable. Here he isn't grooving at all, in fact the style of E.H. is very personal and organic ( which i personally find very interesting, but if i want to hear a nice solid groove i have Steve Jordan for that, or even Charly Watts!!!). I bet Eric himself would recognize that here is not groove whatsoever, because it just wasn't his intention. Groove is only one thing you can do with drums and has its place, mostly, when playing with a band. Here it wouldn't make much sense because he is the star and he is showing off what he can do. If you, as in this case, have little chunks of sticking all over the place, with silences starting and ending all over the place, with polyrhythms, changes of density of strokes and dynamics here and there, changes of time signature...i mean...you can't even tap your foot while listening to this and that sums it up really.
In jazz, staying in time, in the pocket, and not being obvious about the downbeat and bar line, takes tremendous skill, thats what he usually is going for.
This might be because you aren't used to the meters and feels he is using, it also happens for me that i first recognize a groove when i become familiar with that kind of thing. Maybe give a listen or two more, and you'll find something really excellent!
an egregious subterfuge against the classical regularity of standard percussionist technique. although, i must care to admit, Harlan glows with effervescence thus inducing a state of most transeunt quality (although not in the literal sense of the term, mind you)
This video was hard for me cause I always look for a groove when playing drums or listening to them and there was very little groove to be found in this video but I do have respect for this guy because he's clearly worked very hard on his rudiments and chops and that kind of thing.
Warning!! Take this comment down, people will spend endless energy telling you how stupid you are. Learn from my mistakes (I said this same thing and now like half the comments on the video are people telling me how stupid I am.)
Thats probably why misinformed people like you will stay "Drumwannabe's". I suggest you check out Harlands other material. You can't find groove like his very often.

I don't care if I'm a young man, I want nothing more than for Eric to father my children.
Man I'm in the same boat. Don't worry - it's very normal!
Listened to him on "I'd hit that" podcast. This guys spirit and outlook on life is amazing. His drumming is an extent of that. Just a great soul
Seems like this guy can play
;)
Oh.... from the depths of his soul !!!!! That was inspirational. You can feel his vibe as he fails to miss a beat.

Wow, this is some next level shiz! I love the sound of his snare, bass, and hat!
Man, his hits are like none other. Unique sound without sacrificing the drum's musical purpose. Good stuff!
The most Magical Drummer I've heard lately. Harland is 24K, I'm totally mesmerized by his Music. I want his Solo CD...Now!
This guy reminds me of the word, precise. Because everything he does is very, precise. One of the greatest jazz drummers of our generation.
The name of this (play along) track is 'North Star'.
It is pretty amazing to hear how he continues locked on to the rhythm through his extraordinary riffs. Very cool! I wish someone would teach how that works!
a metronome is your best friend

One of the great young drummers in the world, truly a genius.
Very crisp and atmospheric. Speechless,man.
I feel so out of the loop cause I just accidentally discovered this guy. What a master drummer...
Single purpose of trying to be the most or the best at drumming, i think you have achieved it. fantastic drumming man. beautiful once again.

***** Maybe he did wander a bit, but I prefer his phrasing on the kit to yours on RUclips ;)
My favorite part is at 4:20-26. Awesome work on the cymbal colors! Love it!
Beasty!!!! That snare sounds amazing!!!
Harland… to the music history books
Brilliant stuff, the cymbals sound very cool, like the idea if the efx hihat, it fizzes really nice.
still love your playing!!
What a great feel he has!
Great performance!
His groove is in the kick. His hands play the melody.
Eric is one hell of a drummer!
In jazz, staying in time, in the pocket, and not being obvious about the downbeat and bar line, takes tremendous skill, thats what he usually is going for.
this is hands down the most hilarious post I have ever seen on RUclips.
hilarious on so many levels
love the sound on snare
I wish we could hear the track a little bit more! Regardless, this is why Harland is the MAN!
I love it !!!
Amazing Playing!!!!
who the fuck is ringo
Sound like Elvin, Tony Williams and Keith Moon rolled into one. But better. :)
Twotontessie Hmm that's an intriguing take on his sound. I wonder if he would agree.
Harland is awesome, he reminds me of Jack DeJohnette or Lenny White in that he can play anywhere and still know where the time is.
Eita q dinâmica de Batera pegaaaa tooop lembra-se bateras unidos jamais será vencidos.
Track name is called North Star
What a fucking monster-gorgeous artistry!
very nice , love it. in jazz FILLS are a lot difficult to play.
OMG...1 word....AWESOME.. :-)
I wish the track was a bit more discernible? Eric is one of the greatest!
-G
Proper drumming
and proper comment
Drumaier J Yes, nothing like good drumming.
yes, a good comment! haha ;)
This might be because you aren't used to the meters and feels he is using, it also happens for me that i first recognize a groove when i become familiar with that kind of thing. Maybe give a listen or two more, and you'll find something really excellent!
EH is a monster drummer
I love the licks around 1:30 - perhaps a mix of paraddiles and double paraddidles? :)
So many tasty grooves here
BEST! N.1 actually!

eu sou fã !!!!
9/8 - 11/8 - 3/4 - 4/4. Easy.
***** There's a transcript on drummerworld.com, same song, same time signatures. I'm a cheat. I'm ashamed of myself. I shouldn't be here.
its actually 3/4 against a 4/4 bassline
therefore a 1/4 note against triplet
Good video!!
Jazz-Funk-Fusion master! So many rabbits out of his hat!
can someone tell me what snare he is using? It sounds unreal, also the name of the hi-hat. Cheers!
I know i am 2 years late but the hi hat is a zildjian 16” k efx crash on another medium 16” crash by zildjian
Anyone know how to get that snare sound?
Wow
What's the background music?
haters will hate, don't worry
This video was hard for me cause I always look for a groove when playing drums or listening to them and there was very little groove to be found in this video but I do have respect for this guy because he's clearly worked very hard on his rudiments and chops and that kind of thing.
Baller
good
Is he soloing, or his actually playing along to a tune? I don't hear a tune. I hear some bass in the background - a steady pulse, no rhythm
I find it funny how he plays as if someone is pulling his hair lol
sick. one wonders what this guy would have become had he been born back in chester thompson's / bill bruford's day ...
4:42 ~ Fatal Groove ~
AAAHHHH!!!!
Id say in nine, based on the keyboard at the beginning o-o-o-o--o-o-o-o--
Is this in seven?
you know, that username suits you well. poor guy
are you serious?
maybe u dont kno who eric harland is
Probably using a copper snare
English Please?
Wow.. 4.40...
0:48 - 1:20????
yes and no. im just posting a comment in a style that attempts to make fun of philosophy writers
OMG...and that for a preacher? .. :-)
TRUE BREAST!!!
04:31
It's true the groove is just not there, technically he is great otherwise I just don't feel it.
Don't be scared to voice your opinion!
I don't understand why people go so crazy for Peter Erskine... Eric Harland is way better in my opinion...
hHAHAHAHAAHAH!
lol...
skull
Not from earth
Ringo is better!
yes at being worst he is better.
