Attention drummers: in my opinion watch this once a week for the rest of your life. This guy is conveying more wisdom about drumming, and life, than I have heard in any drumming video. I've been drumming a very long time. I've been frustrated by many a drummer, many students, and such, a very long time. The overwhelming majority of drummers don't "get it." That's my opinion. This guy gets it, in my opinion. And he has been successful because of that. Drumming, in my humble opinion, is not necessarily only about doing fast activities that are out of place, and out of tune with what is happening. 99% of hit records this play basic simple drumming, but it's not basic and simple: masters of drums, like this guy, make it sound that way. And for the 11 people who disliked this video: stop drumming, immediately.
Look dude, I understand this drummer has valuable teachings, but he’s not the only one with valuable things to teach you or make you experience on drums.
Even in Rock I open the hats every 8th note. When I go to open mikes where they have a stage kit the hat is locked down tight because that’s the way Rock drummers have been taught. As said here the hat is there to be played !
I'm so glad i hit that 'play' button on this lesson. This guy is not only teaching about blues. This guy is teaching everybody a lot more in many ways!. Thank you Drumeo and of course thank you TC!!
As a drummer living in Memphis, I gotta say this video is really special to me. This dude is really awesome and understands the culture of blues music. It's not a style that was just meant to be heard, but felt deep inside, smelled, and experienced. It's a style much more suited to live performances in a blues club than a sterile recording studio. Just watching this I can smell the ribs, pulled pork, and Wiseacre down on Beale. Really wanna know what makes this stuff special? Go spend an evening watching the bands at BB Kings or Blues City Cafe and you'll know what I'm talking about.
So Memphis is the place to go to get the full experience? I've been wanting to get into blue jazz rock drumming since seeing a band cover The Thrill Is Gone in LONDON!! Being from Miami, there's not much Blues happening here - i think.
I absolutely loved touring with this gentlemen. I'm not great singer or musician, my role was tour coordinating the PR and VIP events backstage, around college lectures and radio appearances. But being on the road with TC taught me a lot about focus and determination to hostess and keep everyone on time off stage. Luv always Tony!
I bet you guys ate good to I can only imagine somebody like Tony where find us a real food ain't none of that McDonald's and Subway stuff going on here..😂😂😂😋😋😛
Playing clean and holding a groove is equally important. Chops and odd counts are amazing,but learning the basics is more important. Going back to the roots and exploring them is really important. A man of his caliber will teach us more than just music.
FINALLY! A BLUES tutorial! I mean, how many Thomas Lang/chops videos can you watch? Also, LOVED the Brian Tichy video! These guys, are more my speed, & what I was looking for when I subscribed to this channel! P.S. For those that haven't seen the Bernard Purdie video...GOOD LAWD!
15:42 1) Starts with bass drum 2) Adds snare drum (slightly off-synch with the bass) 3) Adds hi-hat (slightly off-synch with both snare and bass) That's the magic. Maaaaaaaan!
@@jessegardner33 What I mean is that the hits are not 100% in synch, as more "precise" drummers play. But those tiny "imperfections" make all of the feel and groove.
I'm a drummer living and playing in Kansas City Mo. and I've listened to a lot of Tony Coleman and I drive an Airport Shuttle and just took Tony to the airport and got to talk music and drums with him, he truly is a living legend and so full of wisdom and trying to wrap my head around all the things this man is seen and experienced is mind-boggling to say the least I guess he has some gigs here in the city later this summer and will be staying with us again and I can't wait what a genuinely gracious human being and just a great dude I can't say enough good things about him I give this man 5 stars
Toney’s playing comes from so deep inside him, I don’t know how you can possibly teach that. You can teach the notes, but the feel, that’s something else.
If you can't see the greatness here, then you may need to put the long charts and the instagram chop videos you have saved away for a while. Not enough young players studying this stuff anymore. TC is straight laying it down!!
Just want to appreciate how good his beat can sound right at the start with just the basic of the basic drums. Snare bass hi hat smoothness! This is incredible.
This video gives me hope... I've always been a Groover & not huge on chops. Not that I don't want chops but ...this is the most important! And it's great to see people respect it here. These are the drummers I truly aspire to be like.
Last night i was watching BB King’s concert at Royal Albert Hall which i must admit, it blew me away.!!!! I love playing Blues and i have learnt a lot by watching this masterclass.!!! Blues will make you feel good.!!!!
I am a metal drummer that just scored an invite to join a blues rock band. This lesson is a life saver. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR DRUMMING KNOWLEDGE!
I noticed something about music. I grew up with a foundation is metal and hard rock music. In one of the songs, I heard a beat that kinda swung a bit. Fast forward to about three years, my horizon in music hovered over rock n roll, and I heard the same thing. Then I realized that the truest form of music is one in which somehow finds itself in many genre. And that's probably why I all of the sudden found love in blues.
theres just so much great info in this video that you cant just be taught from a book, you need to see it, hear it and feel it before you learn it correctly, amazing
The way Dave looks at Tony is very fascinating. I like how both of these guys managed to get some depth from very basic stuff in order to prove to the community that drums isn't only about technic and velocity but feel and authenticity. If you want to be a great musician you need to trust yourself, be confident and people will put their trust in you. No doubt why BB hired this legend for 30 years!!!
I'm so glad to hear TC bring up the point that anyone thinks they can play drums, especially non-drummer Musician's. I'd like to add that anyone CAN play drums, even an infant that has the grip to hold a stick and strike a drum/cymbal. Does that mean they are a drummer? Maybe... but they are not a musician. If you are truly trying to be a master of your drumming craft, be specific about the sounds you choose to get from your instrument and shape your approach with info from masters like TC. THANKS drumeo for bringing us all the feels. I agree with the other posters saying it was refreshing to get away from the current hype of flashy drumming. Drumming is evolving, but it's great to remember where it started, in feels per minute. Rant over [=
This man knows what he's talking about. He is an authority on the subject matter. I once asked a man to teach me everything he knows about the blues. He said give me 1,000.00 and meet me the following week here at this same blues club. I gave him the 1,000.00 via my Zelle account. I went back to the club the following week, he never showed. So when I asked the bar tender/ manager what time the guys were coming, he explained that they had gone to Detroit to do another show and he passed me an envelope, in it there was a message... It read, Take the emotion you are feeling right now, pick up a pen and a paper, start writing, and put all that emotion down on paper. That's your first lesson, Blues 101 I'll be back next year for the second lesson Blues 102 That was the best money I ever spent. I wrote the song Amanda in 1985 which was stolen by a group named ( not gonna mention any names) But the band made a successful comeback tour based on my one song . I'm still shaking my head over it.
This is cool ! “Get Ready” by Rare Earth was the very first song I learned to play. To hear this slowed version, with this amazing drummer was special ! Love listening to Tony, he’s such a legend !
An excellent example for fine blues drumming can be heard on the early Fleetwood Mac records. Mick Fleetwood did'nt get the recognition he deserves as a drummer in the early blues orientated Mac. He is masterful at blues shuffle grooves. Great soulful playing.
@@glengamble526 you are correct sir!!!! Early stuff kills and fool for your stockings is one of my all time Favorites killer groove in the very bottom if the pocket!!!
Frank Beard. I love the thing he does on the rim on "La Grange" so much. It sounds so cool to me, could listen to it for hours. Really a signature groove. All time classic.
I like the way you introduced these guys to feel & emotion. They are the BPM guys you referred to.... they can never understand why it's not quite right. Now we know!!! Thank you!!!
DAMN I’m glad TC let people know about what the blues is really about. It’s our CULTURE. Not just entertainment. It’s our way of coping with the good AND bad aspects of our existence in the United States. THANK YOU TC💯✊🏾
Love it..nothing like solid groove! And you never know what you're going to find on these RUclips videos..I learned a new technique from this video..dotted shuffle pattern on the bass drum (watch his right foot) during the first track. So refreshing to see a drummer just concentrate on the pocket and feel rather than see how many notes they can stick in. Tasty tasty! Thanks great video.
What an amazing underrated drummer! Such amazing pocket and feel! I love his understanding of the click! Lol awesome! Keep on playing like you play Mr. Coleman.
You can tell this guy knows exactly where the 1 is!!!! He is soooo tight and yet knows how to make it groove!!!! LOVE IT!!!! Even incorporates double bass here and there, NICE!!!
Hey Tony I’m really enjoying this Blues drum lessons it’s well done and needed to be taught. Awesome refresher. I have a Blues session tomorrow. I’m more excited and looking forward to my session. Thanks a lot I appreciate you teaching the real Raw Truth.
@@russellmoss3329 Why would you feel the need to write something he said when the rest of us could just experience it in the moment in which HE actually says it?! Do you tell everyone all the great lines in every movie you see that someone hasn’t seen yet?! Jackass.🖕
What a great drummer and all round great person very down to earth and telling you how it is I loved this lesson I play drums in a blues band and shuffles are hard work it’s all about the feel of it .... watching this today I learnt a lot from this great drummer I’ve looked him up on Spotify and there are some great blues songs to jam to thank you Tony Coleman and Drumeo ..... Drumeo is the best
Great lesson! Love how real Tony is 😊 seems like fate... I just scored my first real blues gig for an artist's album launch. I started listening to and looking around for authentic blues artists, studying the history and culture, and then I get a RUclips notification for this vid. Thank you @drumeo and @tonycoleman for this awesome lesson and all the insight and ideas. I'll definitely be applying these ideas and tips in my playing. 1st rehearsal tomorrow so I'll pull out my new blues bag of tricks.
Love his personality , and ability. Seems like there are many thousands of drummers who beautifully replicate others work, and then there are percussionists of every age creed location and ethnicity that blow my mind with their skill and uniqueness, and here is one
WOW!! That first shuffle after the intro blew me away in the first 12 seconds! I don't know that I've ever heard a double snare crack (or whatever it's called) like that before! I'm a studio engineer & watch Drumeo to dream about recording drummers as good as I see here!
Love this! I got into N.O. Jazz alot over the last year, and it's always cool to listen to how much they play off each other. "How many BPM? It should be how many Feel-per-min!"
Thank you Mr. Coleman for your talent and musicianship I absolutely loved this video and thank you Drumeo for this valuable lesson as always excellent !
TC is solid!! All drummers will have their own way to play any style of music so when they say “the right way” then it limits your own creative way to play the style your playing. Sure there’s a wrong way to play a certain style so don’t get me wrong I just think if you’re in the pocket and in time then that’s the most important part of our jobs as drummers. So getting the basics of a certain style then put your own flavor is “the right way” . TC has words of wisdom for us all “FPM” feel per minute!!!
Right after get ready play through, headed straight to the album and enjoyed it thoroughly. Brilliantly produced album with crystal clear drum recording.

Amen brother...
Look dude, I understand this drummer has valuable teachings, but he’s not the only one with valuable things to teach you or make you experience on drums.
Also, screw hit records, they’re trash, and their basic drumming makes even more trash(lol I’m part joking)
Groove, Pocket and Great Time ..... Toney Coleman's got it all and a great attitude!.
There is something about his feel. He makes the hats sound so amazing and he pulls so many different sounds out of then and none of its sloppy at all.
He said his playing is sloppy yo it’s not tight at all it’s very loose actually that’s playing with feeling man.
Hats are everything when it comes to blues
Even in Rock I open the hats every 8th note. When I go to open mikes where they have a stage kit the hat is locked down tight because that’s the way Rock drummers have been taught. As said here the hat is there to be played !

Drum lessons. Blues lessons. Life lessons! I'm keeping this one!
Love his honestly, sense of humor, his stories, advises and tips, and his pocket and feel! Thank you!
I wish all young drummers would listen and LEARN from this man. In live music, listen to the band, find that pocket and go. God bless this man.

“Drummers job is to listen and bring everybody else together and make them sound good” is my best nugget for now. Amazing stuff.
This guy is a true musician. He puts his whole being into the instrument. That’s how it should be!
.just play the GROOOOVE. "bpm's" lol, finally a drummers drummer. Not wearing himself out
Thank You DRUMEO
Practice with a click, play from the heart.
Toney’s playing comes from so deep inside him, I don’t know how you can possibly teach that. You can teach the notes, but the feel, that’s something else.
It truly comes from the inside of your heart.
This guy is spot on...I'm glad i got a drummer that understands all this intuitively. They're hard to find.
If you can't see the greatness here, then you may need to put the long charts and the instagram chop videos you have saved away for a while. Not enough young players studying this stuff anymore. TC is straight laying it down!!
"I don't know nothin' 'bout no clicks man..."
"If I'm thinkin', I'm not playin'"
This just means that his time is completely internalised and innate.

Golden words from the living legend. 😇🙌❤️
I feel everything dude was saying there's more to just having the recipe there's life, feeling, soul involved
Great lesson! What a great busdriver Tony is! When the driver is humming, the passengers feel save and relaxed!
These cymbals are outrageous. Perfect combination.
20 seconds into the video and this man has already blown my mind
This was just plain fun to listen to, the groove is infectious :D
10 people don't understand the original meaning of GROOVE - Another excellent, truly instructional lesson, Drumeo!

26:47 that's so true!!!! I've seen this kind of thing happen several times! This dude is great!
It would be Amazing to have a 'live chat' with Tony to go along with the lesson. I love that Man !!!
Wow, that's what I would call a soulful authority behind the drums.
He is one of my favourite drummer's, thanks for a great Video.. loved it..
was just in Memphis for Memorial Day, what a coincidence I was just at BB King's Bar and Club... Tony Coleman, insane!
T.C. is awesome! and in that closing song you can almost hear a killer horn section playing along with!
Right after get ready play through, headed straight to the album and enjoyed it thoroughly. Brilliantly produced album with crystal clear drum recording.
I'd love to see Eric Hernandez on Drumeo..
