Nate Morton Drum Cam 26 - 24K Magic

- Опубликовано: 24 авг 2024
- With the same caveat as always… here is more video of old man me playing “old man drums”… This time, it’s 24K Magic by Bruno Mars, as performed on our show by Chris Blue. As time goes one, I continue to grow more and more fond of Bruno Mars and his catalog. I have also become more and more a fan of his drummer and my friend Eric “E-Panda” Hernandez. Eric always lays down a KILLER pocket and any fills or licks he plays are always clean, always nailed, and NEVER attempted at the expense of the slammin’ groove. Not only is Eric an outstanding drummer but he’s also one of the nicest cats you’ll ever meet. Stoked for him and all of his success…
Here’s me doing my best to hold it down with Chris Blue on the show, The Voice. Eric, I hope I’ve done the song justice.
Thanks for checking out these vids… as always, just hoping to share a little access from behind the scenes…

this flows like crystal clear water through a mountain stream. it's just perfect.
...and now I'm thirsty for a Fiji water! hahaha
Too many people don't appreciate the talent behind modern pop music. Especially the nuance behind the back tracks. Just listen to the way the drums, keys, bass, and guitars blend together but produce unique voices and inversions in their various ranges. It's so great. There's a reason music like this is popular. It's well written and VERY well played.
Thank you Mike! Appreciation Nation!
stoked you enjoyed it!
The Lost in Vegas guys came up with a really good analogy. Its like if you didnt know anything about basketball and then you watched Michael Jordan. Understanding the undertone of having to get every song, of any genre, absolutely spot on because it isnt about him but the contestant puts a baseline of pressure that most are not used to. For Nate to handle that, and to so tastefully embellish without overplaying is phenomenal in my mind. This is a true testament to your hard work. Keep the videos coming!
Man... I really appreciate those kind words Matthew... thank you so much...
Yes. I love this comment. The sheer quantity of material (various styles, complex arrangements) that has to be absorbed QUICKLY is one of the things that separates musicians at this level from the rest of us "weekend warrior" types. Most of us can get a piece this tight after weeks of playing it, but players at this level can "own" it (along with probably seven or eight others) in an afternoon. Makes me think of Gadd playing Aja in one (or two?) take(s).
An add on to my comment above. I just listened again, this time reading along with Nate's shorthand. Very interesting way to map out a basic arrangement! (so you DON'T have a photographic memory, Nate?)
Such incredible groove, and some of the coolest fills I’ve ever heard!
As a drummer I absolutely love how diverse your playing style is. Being able to play literally every different genre type is so insanely difficult. The non-musicians have no idea how different the drumming style is in all these different genres and to basically master them all like that is very impressive. As a sound tech, I'm curious to your mic setup. I believe I saw Sennheiser e604's on your rack toms but haven't been able to spot anything else.
Everyone has its own playing style but this guy has everyones playing style. Every song I heard you guys made it better definitely one of the best drummers i heard
The Best and most Prolific Drummer in the world. Nate, you are a genius.
I love everything about this video. The sound, the look, the groove, the pocket... so crisp, so shiny, just so goooood :3
That was great to watch. Just the right amount of tasty bitties and not show-offy at all but still drips with class. Loved this
Thank you man... Appreciation Nation!
A very good example of "just give what the song needs" type of drumming.
Yeah like sometimes it doesn’t need a bunch of fancy stuff. Just a nice beat
brother is vibin while drumming love the vibe man cool sound and cool set
LOVED IT!!!! AMAZING, AWESOME... CLEAN without attempts to overtake the band's riffs... respectful... had to watch about five times so far...
Go Nate! Love that tune too, and you are all there and as always holding up the integrity!!!
Tone... this is from 2 years ago, but you know I love you so I"m responding because of that! :)
With regard to drumming, you are the supreme master!
Nate you have always been and still are one of my favorite drummers of all time! Even back at Berklee watching you perform in 1A to now watching you on The Voice... hands down one of, if not THE, best drummer of our generation. Thanks for posting these videos it is always amazing to watch you work.
Let's not get crazy... lol... but thank you so much... I very much appreciate your kind words... :)
You are the most amazing drummer! The way you can play so many genre's is just crazy!
Thanx Neal! I appreciate your kind words... :)
I love these videos and your flow while maintaining power is something drummers need to study.
I wish, somehow, this could be something we can see online in a side by side with the broadcast.
Hmm... that's an interesting though...
Dude, I love watching the voice just to hear you play. There are so many times you and the
band save their asses when going over the bar line etc. Killing it man!
lol.... thank you DB!
Thank you very much Mister Nate Morton , wonderful sound :-) !
I appreciate the kind words Mr. Treva 83! :)
1:52 I’ve been using this fills a lot recently and wasn’t sure where I had got it from. Now I realise 😂😂💪🏼
yeah... I stole it from somewhere... not sure myself... -similarly, I'll sometimes pull out a record I haven't listened to in a while... most recently, Steve Wolf playing drums on the Hiram Bullock record, Way Cool... and I'll hear him play something and remember... oh yeah... that's who I stole that from... lol Stoked you enjoyed the vid! :)
I am pretty sure you heard it first from Aaron Spears' Caught Up legendary vid 😂
You inspire me everyday mate!Thank you. ! it makes me work harder to play better!
The master at work. You never cease to amaze me!
Groove with a swagger, always a joy to catch a glimpse of you doing what you do! keep it up!
I will try my best AP! :). thank you for the kind words!
I really enjoyed your groove. It is the kind of R & B sound that I like to play. Reminds me of the Gap Band.
Nailed the analogy

New Follower: I'm a fan. I viewed a video of yours years ago. Seen a few throughout the years. In getting back to drumming, I like the grooves and style. Plus the kits are sweet.

Wow this is shocking I can't believe it,so many toms, so many cymbals yet you still disciplined, any American would have attempted to go for a 32 notes fill. I am immersed in your sense of discipline and impressed with your tight-pocket play
WOW... Thank you so much!
KILLING IT!!!!

Wowww Power!!

Excellent!!!!
Thanx!

This guy has more pocket than a jeans store...
😂

totally stealing that. lol.
Dude that was sick AF!
You flatter me... thank you! :)
Holy cow, this energy!
Energy... that's my job... as my friend Troy says, "Drive the bus!" lol
@@NateMortonDrums Love it, dude! Greetings from Germany
Love it love it love it
Thank you Thank you Thank you!
Quick question how much freedom are u guys allow to have with the song is it strictly by the recording or yall just have fun
muy bueno de manos y aceptable de pies 👍
Nailed it as always man!
Killer playing!
Appreciation Nation! :)
Man, in the pocket the whole time. That’s talent. Can’t be taught.
Jordan Huff of course it can be taught
nonsense. Practice makes perfect bud.
Also very likely a click but still very good!
What's up with this exaggeration. That was one of the easiest and most basic of grooves. When i saw the thumbnail of his enormous kit i clicked right away thinking it would blow my mind but sadly all i heard and saw was a simple rhythm section and a waste of equipment. Thumbs down....
Ash Angel simplicity is key! I don’t know who this guy is, or who he plays for. But my comment was simply on the natural groove he has. It’s not all about huge fills, or double bass, or how much you can do. If you ask me, some of the best drummers, are the ones who aren’t flashy, or overdone. They actually sit in there and basically accent the other instruments. This guy is grooving and letting the other instruments flow. The song didn’t call for an incredible display, he knew that.
This drummer is #Eargarism without Musical Sheet.
Good grief Nate!! You are truly a drum god among men
So damn good
AWESOME
Straight up badass.
:)
Great playing Nate
:)
BAD ASS ..NICE!
