Went to see Galactic play a show at the Varsity in Baton Rouge around 2000 and got to meet Stanton. He was friendly, cool and laid back just like his playing style. His drumming has been a big influence on my own drumming. I really appreciate him taking the time to talk and autograph my ticket. Thanks so much Stanton!
To play drums for a living…..what a gig!! Thanks for letting us live vicariously through you. You sacrificed a lot of your life to get here. That’s what everyone doesn’t always see is the grind of the road in the early years.
Thank you for noticing and acknowledging that. 🙏🏼🥁🙌🏼
I had the same experience with Mr Hurley auditioning me and kicking me into beginner band when I thought I had chops. He was right. I warmed up next to you at his funeral drum line send off in the soccer field. RIP Marty. Thanks for keeping his legacy alive.
🙌🏼🥁👊🏼
Thanks for sharing. Love the Smiths t-shirt
Super, thank you !
And you got the blessing of learning from mr Marty! What a story to tell
I do feel very grateful for that🙏🏼🥁🙌🏼
So cool how similar drummer's beginnings really are. I started in 6th grade, played in marching band, got my first drumset at 12 and really took a love to it that has lasted for over 40 years later. You don't become a drummer, you are born a drummer (Nicko quote I believe).
I definitely believe I was born a drummer, just took me a bit to get rolling! 🙌🏼
Very cool.....Long Live Johnny V!
Fantastic man!The crazy thing is that I started playing little later at 17, but I actually found a dowel rod in the basement and cut it in two and was beating on some coffee cans and that Christmas my Mom and Dad got me a pair of Pro Mark sticks as well!At first I liked the dowel rods better, but I am using real sticks now.
Dowels! They were like these little magic steppingstones to drumsticks. Keep on using real sticks my man! You’re doing great work! 🙌🏼
@@stantonmooremusic Thank you Brother!
Russ was one of a kind, just like you Stanton. Grace and Love
Yes he was. One of a kind. 🙏🏼🥁🙌🏼
Alright Stanton and Big Stan! Nice Job Stan. Great to hear the story behind Stanton Growing up in NOLA! So Very Cool!
Thanks Pat! 🙏🏼
The drumlines are the only reason to go to Mardi Gras.

Great work Big Stan! Thanks for sharing all that, Stanton! I’ll never forget the time Adam and I stopped by the house you grew up in to get some T-shirts, and we helped your mom and dad move your old baby crib up to the attic after it had been returned by a relative who no longer needed it…your mom and dad were so nice and obviously super proud of you!
I’m glad you’re digging it Steve. And thanks so much for that help. Truly appreciated my man! 🙏🏼🥁🙌🏼
Malaka!! This is absolutely fantastic!!! So cool to hear all these stories, man! Love the edit too. Awesome job Big Stan! Yes indeed!! 🤘🏻😁🎉💜🥁🎶🍻
Thank you Nikos!!! 🙏🏼🥁🙌🏼
First of all- growing up in NOLA as a drummer is just unfair to the rest of us mortals who grew up elsewhere lol. Secondly- Russel hammers that thin line between loose and tight (which equals NASTY- the nastiest ever if you ask me)- in addition to insisting on doing something else such as eat a sandwich or have a full on conversation with someone while he plays live- Russel to me always sounds about to fall apart but he's never even close- he's NASTY. I love your take on how solid your fundamentals have to be to tread that line . Mix in the Smiths shirt, the Mongoose, the CB700's (my first set too) the roto's, the teachers telling you you're horrible after years of dedicated practice and once again you dropped a masterful video that gave me chills, smiles, and a good laugh or two. And of course it makes me want to practice more because the diddle will never break 200 bpm by itself (if at all lol). Thank you!
Thank you for saying all of that! I appreciate it. Makes me want to keep making videos for sure! 🙏🏼🥁🙌🏼
Great video. Very personal.
Thank you Michael! 🙏🏼
Nice Stanton! Having a kit in your bedroom growiing up...man! That would've been dangerous for me, plus my sister's room was right next door....not working.
You were super fortunate to have great teachers and be surrounded by that NOLA environment. I had great teachers as well, a junior high band director/bad-ass drummer named Edward Balsamo, who is still playing :) He had two kits in his office and was giving us stuff he learned at Berklee with Alan Dawson. NiiicccccE!!!!
Thanks for sharing your story.
Thanks for your feed back and thanks for watching Brian! 🙏🏼
Big city livin' and a voodoo woman named Phyllis.
Yo! Shout out from Brazil brother, 🔥🥁🤘🏽💯
🙌🏼
Really cool (: I dig it
🙏🏼
Great video, Stanton! Did you grow up in Lakeview?
Metairie baby! 🙌🏼
@@stantonmooremusic Metryyyyy
I was recently in New Orleans and found the local music scene to be seriously lacking. Maybe you could do a video on the current music scene there? I know there are seated, theater shows, but where do you go to sit and listen without it being a ticketed show? I'm assuming my experience was due to a lack of information. Used to go to Frenchman, but it was as bad as the Quarter this time. Any inside info is appreciated!
I hear you. The Bayou Bar in the Pontchartrain Hotel is where is Bass player Peter Harris has the gig. It’s four nights a week and he always has amazing musicians with him! 🙌🏼
@@stantonmooremusic Thanks!! Seems a shame what's happening there
Of you can’t catch Stanton at tippy tinias if you catch tuba skinny in the French quarter on the streets… what a treat!
