Two of my absolute favourite dudes on the planet! I was fortunate enough to do a drummers workshop with Kenny and meet him here in Perth Australia about 15 years or so ago. No offence to Bill, but he is 54 years of age and Kenny is 70 years of age! Kenny looks the same age! Amazing & inspirational. 👍😎😎😎😎🤘🥁 Great episode guys.
Wow Kenny really looks healthy and fit for 70, I'm would think he looks 30-35 years younger than 70! Keep it going Kenny! Helps that he's so chill and relaxed all the time, I've never seen him stressed out or angry, he's always smiling , always positive vibes
One of my favourite drummers and one of my favourite comedians…. Bing instant subscription. Much respect @Kenny Aronoff. Ever since I heard Jack and Diane when I was a kid growing up in Belgium in 1982 I was an instant fan. Loved your work growing up and loved how you’ve played with all these other great artists. Much respect from Fiji. God bless you guys both👍😎🇫🇯🙏🤙👊❤️…actually clicked on this because I thought it was Bill interviewing one of his drum heroes😂😂😂😂 very cool flow to the interview, music, sports, comedy…..🤘👍🤙👊
Bronson Arroyo won a World Series championship with the Red Sox in 2004 and was inducted in the Cincinnati Reds HOF in 2023. They absolutely love the guy in the Cincinnati area. Great interview! Thanks Kenny.
Thanks Rob.. I played on Bronson's solo record right after the Red Sox won the world series.. Super cool guy.. I had him pitch to me. OMG so fast and it was only 65 mph.. Every pitch would curve at the last minute in a different direction. Crazy. : )
Bruh….. LOVED THIS! Saw BB in Montreal at a club in the middle of the afternoon with several other comics. Each comic did a little routine and then they all got together and jammed! Then later that night I saw Bill’s act at a theatre. Man…. So memorable! Thanks Kenny!
Awesome hang!!!! Love seeing folks who are so talented yet don’t blow off how incredibly hard you work. I love that you speak about the insane amount of effort it takes to be at your level and maintain that. Peace and stay well Kenny and Bill !!
Fun discussion (drumming and otherwise) with Bill. Looking forward to more great episodes in the future. Thanks, too, for a great clinic you put on back in the early 2000s at an Athens, GA bar when I was an undergrad. I still remember your good advice to keep the tempo steady when the song's building to a crescendo. Amazing podcast chops this few episodes in!
Saw this guy playing for smashing pumpkins in 98'. I remember very clearly, I had never seen a person try to tear a hole through their drum kit quite like Kenny 👍👍🤟🤟🤟
lol.. Yeah I was going after it.. Such an important tour. The pUmpkins were the biggest alternative band at that time. It was an honor to be part of that tour.
This is great! I could listen to you guys talking drums all day and im not a drummer. Bill is such a humble drummer he's actually a sleeper. Kenny i didn't know i knew you but checking you out i totally know your work. This is great content. Really. Thank you.
The Gary Wright song y'all are thinking of is LOVE IS ALIVE and yes, for some reason; it's one of the sickest drum tracks in pop music history. Andy Newmark, great session drummer, played on that track. Also, for some reason, a lot of comedians are also drummers. Fred Armisen, Dana Carvey, Johnny Carson, Bill Cosby, Jon Stewart, etcetera... I've always wondered what that connection is.
i loved when kenny played with john fogerty he had freaking chains around his sticks he was a beast at that show .... and i would love to se the vince Neil and billy gibbons show ...... love from hamilton ontario canada
Ken. Great show. As I'm reacting it's 48:00 in. I would have wondered what Baldy thought about the film "Whiplash" . What say you also ? I loved it. I never realized how far ahead Jazz drummers were until I saw that . Gotta love Artimus from Skynyrd /APB . Dig his disipline and stick handling ,
Joey... I have worked with intense teachers, conductors, a few artists and sometime producers that were as demanding as that teacher was in Whiplash. Those experiences made me who I am .
This was an awesome interview! Like Bill & being a fellow New Englander myself I saw you at Great Woods with Mellencamp. Always said I never heard anyone hit a snare as hard as you do live. In fact when I saw you,you broke a snare. Was the Dance Naked tour
What an excellent podcast episode! Thank you Kenny for co-creating this one. (: Great to meet you in London recently where you played so awesome with Satch! Continued kudos and much love. xWx
The Red Lion Inn is amazing. I went to school in the Berkshires with Arlo Guthrie's kids. It's amazing what notable names are hiding in the simple life in W.Mass
John Mellencamp owes you exactly half of every dollar he ever made. His first four albums would have been nothing without your drums. Very few records owe this much of their success to drum parts. Your drumming even overtook the guitar parts as the most important orchestration of his albums, not that the guitars were too shabby…. When you go into those tom beats on Justice and Independence Day, I get shivers…It sounds like Ricky Ricardo’s drummer at the “ Club” if he liked Rock And Roll. You should get half that damn publishing! Anyway, you keep doing you, love your musicianship and this shit is cool as Hell too! Be Well!
sorry i'm new... burr is a favorite (f ticketmaster, cant see hershey show cause i dont have a phone) but when i saw your face... i said thats the drummer for fogerty... odd as you then mentioned in the intro. favorites converge. almost like a premonition... Thanks for this. just started...
Before Kenny transformed his persona, I had/have an issue of Modern Drummer where he is on the cover. Side hair and balding, no sunglasses. Nevertheless, there was a contest to win a dw 6pc drumset and a whole set of UFIP cymbals. I WON IT!! A chump from Arizona…(I also had to pay the taxes on a $10,000 prize package 😮) My favorite is with him and the BoDeans playing ‘Idaho’ live.
As noted elsewhere here, Jim Keltner did 'Dreamweaver'. Andy Newmark is also on that album. Alan White did all the drumming on Wright's excellent debut album 'Extraction', which includes Klaus Voorman, who also did the cover art; Trevor Burton of the Move (which evolved into ELO); Mick Abrahams of Jethro Tull (by then fronting his own band Blodwyn Pig) and other names of the day. White had come from the Alan Price Set (Price, the original Animals organist scored numerous hits in the UK - white was also producer here), John Lennon, and Terry Reid's band (w/David Lindley). He was also on Wright's second album, 'Footprint', which included Keltner, Jim Gordon, and Colin Allen. Here is White ripping it up with Wright: ruclips.net/video/KiQzvU5nRmU/видео.html
Gary Wright . Dream Weaver was the somg at the roller rink , they turn lights out in like 7th grade to hook w/ a girl and grab a makeout maybe 2nd base.
I couldn't turn this off. Saw a clip earlier, then the entire podcast showed up. Thought I was going to play it in the background while cooking... needless to say, I'm still hungry. Stomach is goddamn growling. 😅 Turns out I love listening to people talk about music and musicians.
I don't think I've sat so close to a screen since I was a kid. I realized around 53 mins in that I've been at my desk leaning in to this laptop like I'm trying to smell their breath! Compelling. Oh, and I so love Bill. Sorry, Kenny, I'm not familiar with you (possibly your work, naturally, but the name didn't register. But then again, I am a big music fan, play guitar and a little keys, violin when younger, and I often don't know the names of my favorite bands members!) 😂
Bill is multi-talented with acting and stand-up, as well as a good dude who has a hilarious outlook on life. Brady has set records that are out of reach, and deflate gate is moronic. He could have thrown a couch cushion, but that doesn't change the tackles nor the game plan to win.
@@KennyAronoffOfficial well I guess they want the exits to correspond with the mile markers rather than ascend or descend numerically. I will never comply, I still call them by the old exit numbers. Hate it, when I give people directions I hope they get lost. lol
Men being lame and too cool to speak on their real feelings... funny coming from the nerd that got big and then cut Cumia out of the Peatrice doc. WHACK

When Bill corrected "co-created" F is for family... my respect increased another 100%
I agree. Incredible.

Thanks Ed.. I love Perth. I need to come back.
Thanks for checking out my pod cast Ed. I need to come back to Perth soon. : )
Wow Kenny really looks healthy and fit for 70, I'm would think he looks 30-35 years younger than 70! Keep it going Kenny! Helps that he's so chill and relaxed all the time, I've never seen him stressed out or angry, he's always smiling , always positive vibes
That's because he's totally bald and has no facial hair so you can't see how old he is.
Doofus.
Just finished listening to the audiobook version of Kenny's autobiography so this was a real treat to watch. Highly recommend the book.
Fantastic that you liked my audio book.. I busted my ass to make it right.. So I appreciate your appreciation..
Loved hearing Kenny talk prepping charts writing every beat out on original/cover/live songs knowing where and when everything happens. True pro!
Thanks so much.

Thanks Jamie
Thanks for the LIVE session Kenny !!! 🎵🎊👍💯
Glad you liked it. .Bill is the best.
I'm in the Dad Zone! haha Awesome episode Kenny & Bill! I'd like to see Bill take his kit on stage at one of his comedy shows...
Johnny.. I agree... Bill has to do that someday.. Be awesome.
I always go for teams that are local from where i grew up, this is such a great interview. Drumming, comedy and sports are my cup of tea
Fantastic.. Glad you enjoyed this episode.
Two legends
Hi Dylan.. Thanks for watching my pod cast.

Red.. that so cool you get it.. 0 = 0 if you do nothing.. you get nothing.
Back in 1983 I wrote a fan letter to Kenny Aronoff and HE ANSWERED ME!!! That is a class move.
wow.. cool.. Thanks for sharing that with me.
Grew up watching Kenny, Steve Jordan and Liberty Devitto. They all looked like they were having so much fun and really laid it down.
Cool.. yes I am still having a lot of fun.. : )
Two of my favorite people🥁👍🏻. Great episode !!!
Thanks J H.. you rock.. : )

3 solid ep's instant subscriber and yup Laimbeer was original bad ass shooter he got game and passion
Yeah Laimbeer was a bad ass in every way.
Bill Burr frustrating moments? How bout that legendarily hilarious raging Philly meltdown! Dude lost it, but mistakenly thought he screwed up! 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Gary Wrights drummer on dream weaver was one of those studio drummers.........called Jim Keltner!
Yeah.. I knew that, but at that moment I spaced it out. Great track. I have played that song live with Gray Wright many times.
Love both of these guys!
Thanks Ethan
What an excellent podcast episode! Thank you Kenny for co-creating this one. (:
Great to meet you in London recently where you played so awesome with Satch!
Continued kudos and much love.

Thanks Windsor.. Bill is an amazing person to talk to and be around.
The Red Lion Inn is amazing. I went to school in the Berkshires with Arlo Guthrie's kids. It's amazing what notable names are hiding in the simple life in W.Mass
Yes... amazing how many interesting people live in the Berkshires. A real sense of community when I was living there.
Jesus Christ what a great conversation
Fantastic.. Thanks q uick

This is epic!
Wow.. Thanks..
Great episode
Thanks Rich
You should put the chairs closer together, Bill looks like he would like to stretch out a bit Lol
lol.. I have new chairs now.. Those were a bit to comfortable. : )
Dream Weaver by Gary Wright- Jim Keltner and Andy Newmark credited with the track.
Coupl'a Mass guys! Yeah!
we are the Mass holes. lol
Podcast on 🔥
Thanks Jay
@@KennyAronoffOfficial looks like you’re starting (the bald and cool) podcast Kenny. Lol
Goood shit!

Very cool.. Thanks for all you comments here.
It was Jim Keltner on the Gary Wright Album Dream Weaver etc.
exactly... I remembered after we did the podcast.. Jim is going to be a guest later this year.. He has some stories and great i insight.
yup.. I remembered after the interview. : )
1:00:40 Maybe Yussef Dayes? If so his playing reminds me of Amir Bresler. Both drummers play unbelievable stuff very quietly.
That sounds amazing. I will check them out
Gary Wright . Dream Weaver was the somg at the roller rink , they turn lights out in like 7th grade to hook w/ a girl and grab a makeout maybe 2nd base.
Gary Wright...Andy Newmark and Jim Keltner
$21 a night? that works out as pretty much what I pay to rent today lool
lol but you don't have house keeping right? lol
Jim Keltner was the dream Weaver drummer
I couldn't turn this off. Saw a clip earlier, then the entire podcast showed up. Thought I was going to play it in the background while cooking... needless to say, I'm still hungry. Stomach is goddamn growling. 😅

Hi Led.. loll i loved your message.. Get some food!! lol
Billy needs some Rush thrown his way. :)
Billy probably has heard a lot of Rush.. He is a fan of all great bands and drummers.
😂😂😂 He always blames the Yankees and Lakers 😂😂😂 Classic Boston.
of course.. lol ha ha
lol
Too much sports talk imo. Love your drumming style, consider me a subscriber. 😀
I've played the red lion. Do you remember Randy Kaye?
How does one get to see your Fenway performance baldy locks
lol I have no idea.. Some one must have filmed it on their iPhone..
This was awesome hope to see more I could listen to you two shoot the shit anytime thanks
I did his pod cast 6 or 7 years ago when my autobiography came out..
@@KennyAronoffOfficial no kidding I will check that out for sure thanks man was cool hearing you two guys together thanks man
Ok. Now every drummer is searching Dream Weaver guy albums.
lol the drummer was my friend Jim Keltner..
@@KennyAronoffOfficial Jim is one of my favorites. Always loved his feel on drums.
The Comedy Beat a new show with you and Burr , I'm just saying.
lol.. Lets rock..
52:26.....Dream Weaver: Gary Wright. Drummer: Jim Keltner
yes you are correct,, I remembered after the [od cast filming.. lol
Bill is multi-talented with acting and stand-up, as well as a good dude who has a hilarious outlook on life. Brady has set records that are out of reach, and deflate gate is moronic. He could have thrown a couch cushion, but that doesn't change the tackles nor the game plan to win.
Bill, if there's no singing, it's an instrumental. Trust me.
Ronnie tutt!
Ronnie Tutt.. amazing drummer.
IAs I was watching this I started wanting some eggs. I don't know why.
I sold out the red lion. For real.
LOL is the 50 seats? Lol
So sick of hearing adults say they literally can't read, if you keep trying, that wandering mind bullshit goes away. It's called practice.
Hamilton is one of the best ever, but for me...Senna was THE goat of F1 imo
great observation
Dude pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease work something into your act ON JP MORGAN - It's far far past time - they need to have some TRUTH TAX ;)
ahh bill does his thing still but hes handlers now
It was so cool spending time with him. Great great guy
Yeah they changed all the exits around here and it's terrible
lol I heard about that. why did they do that? : )
@@KennyAronoffOfficial well I guess they want the exits to correspond with the mile markers rather than ascend or descend numerically. I will never comply, I still call them by the old exit numbers. Hate it, when I give people directions I hope they get lost. lol
Why is he wearing sunglasses is he blind
