This is probably one the best performances of Keith’s career. His chops are riveting to watch in this performance. You have just witnessed a unique drummer unlike any other. Enjoy!
Keith Carlock just absolutely owns - OWNS - doubles. He's uniquely musical while being a technical beast. I love his asymmetric style. And he's a pure conduit for the music, it just flows right through him.
Carlock has something truly great that I haven't heard in the playing of Weckl, Coliauta, Bruner or any of the other masters. Something real and organic going on here. He has the technique but doesn't make it obvious like the others tend to do. The best player I've heard yet.
i prefer peter erskine when he plays this way - that rolling thunder thing...whatever it's called lol...the steady, undulating, rolling all cylanders grooove. i'd say this guy is overplaying the room, as great as he is
@@Bix12 my favorite type of youtube comment is when some guy who is almost certainly not a respected, accomplished professional musician widely considered to be one the best by his peers says shit like this
@@snakeanthony11 Are you saying you'd prefer only those persons who meet a certain criteria (established by you, naturally) be allowed to express an opinion....? It certainly sounds like you are saying that. If you'd be happier if Free Speech were eliminated, then that is the idea to hold onto. I, on the other hand, am opposed body and soul to curtailing individual freedoms like Free Speech. Takes all kinds, I guess.....
A little K3 moment - 10:46 KC looks at WK, and attempts to cue, 16th fill to final theme - but Wayne is eyes closed, knowing his drummer can still get one more, to "11" as it were - and Carlock delivers 8 more bars higher still (the face 10:58) - awesome
Oh shit! Wait a minute! Is he in a moment of desperation? Is he doing his best to Signal him with his drumming? Is the "HOH!" the last and final straw to get wayne to finish?!
Keith's playing blooms, tumbles, and rolls... reminds me of Mitch Mitchell (Hendrix). So good. If you are going to be just a trio, you HAVE to have a drummer like this.
This is an outstanding trio playing music of rare brilliance and originality. All three are wonderful musicians, but Keith Carlock's performance in particular is passionate and compelling. It's great to see an appreciative audience for this.
It’s as if Krantz is keeping time and Carlock is soloing around it. Absolutely different and masterful. Hasn’t he been Steely Dan’s touring drummer for a while? I saw SD in Austin 4-5 years ago and I didn’t know it was Carlock on the drums but I was constantly saying to myself “damn this drummer is too legit!”
This is my favourite incarnation of WK and his band. I had the pleasure of seeing this trio put on a clinic and a show while studying at St. FXU. Blows me away every time.
This is a great performance of the trio. Very very tight. I totally forgot to listen to Wayne Krantz. He is such a great fusion player. Among the best in the world. And he has a great sound with his taylor strat.
Nasty. That's really the only word I can think of to describe this guy.... otherworldly.... Incredible. . Mind blowing. And I say this even after having seen Keith Moon, Buddy Rich, Dave Lombardo, the late great Neil Peart, Bonham, etc. Very underrated..
I'm 40 now. I've played for two-thirds of my short life and listened to a lot of players come down the pike. Mr Carlock is the joint that has managed to roll-up the many artists I've idolized throughout the years, technicians and originators alike. He's Bonham and Weckl's love child- living proof that you can possess it all.
Great performance by these excellent musicians. Wayne is the Kat. Excellent multi-dimensional Guitarist. Very good improvisational Concepts in this performance. Keith on drums is a phenomeno player. Great Electric Bassist.
Wayne is so unconventional, -when he plays more inside I think thats when he's at his best..He's naturally so abstract that his style is gonna be outside automatically ! I thought of Jimi Hendrix's "Who Knows" off of the "Band of Gypsys" cd - his use of a ring modulator style device at the end of his solo is the best application the ring mod I've heard to date .
Keith Carlock's right foot ought to be insured against loss. Haha That damn 'tool' is a gold mine! No double bass pedal. ALL one foot. No one like him. Traditionalists of old would be thrilled with his skill set, and modernists with their jaws dropping at this guys chops. Saying he is in a class by himself is not a cliche'. That cat is, and it's a fact!. And a BA Trio to boot. Bravo.
Because the maker has an obnoxious "logo" consisting of the maker's name printed over and over. Krantz has said he loves the guitar, but finds the lettering distracting, so he covered it up. It's been that way for years.
I know, it sends the hairs on end and gives you that special feeling that only music can give you. It's my favourite part of the video. I met him last month at a drum clinic he is a top bloke. This performance was fully improvised he said in the clinic.
Oh...I know why...cause I haven't practiced hours and hours every day all my life. Every day. That may not matter because you need a bucket of talent too.But guys at this level have reached a muscular level where not alot of this movement goes through the brain. Its like the feet and the hands are talking directly to each other. He's almost at Buddys level but needs to mix it up a little. keith has amazing left hand. But Buddy could play any thing at prodigy level. I love this guy.
I bet there's things Keith does that Buddy would have to practice to accomplish. He rarely ventured out of a big band environment, so could Buddy Rich play with the sort of light touch and precisely the textures that Keith is using? Would Wayne Krantz be clambering to make a second album with Buddy Rich above all other drummers? I doubt it. Buddy Rich is someone to aspire to, but his way of doing things wasn't the only display of mastery on the drums. Buddy couldn't play like Vinnie Colaiuta, Tony Williams, Elvin Jones and so on, even Keith. Buddy had kung fu level hands, but on a musical level he was like a master chef who cooked only traditional meals, with about 25% butter. The food shakes the ground, but there's other stuff out there too.
Buddy Rich was a bad ass - so I would be cautious not to underestimate his musicality! I agree it might take him a minute to adapt to an unconventional music style like Wayne Krantz's but if he listened to Carlock, Wayne and Tim workout - I think Buddy Rich could pull it off !
Is there something I'm missing here? Because they are so bad. There is no structure in the guitar playing. It sounds all chaotic if you ask me. That's just my opinion.
well sorry you did not enjoy this, did you even listen to the whole thing? as you can see with the comments here and the audience reaction at the end this piece is unreal because its so damn good. these guys played in steely dan and toto, their musical abilities are over the top, if you dont like it I guess you need to do some more listening to fusion rock in general or just stick with more classical pop rock arrangements which usually have a simpler structure I guess this is not for everyone, but its definietely one thing it is not, bad ;)
Likely the best and most underrated trio lineup in this era!
Keith Carlock is absolutely one of the best drummers in the world !

I agree. I think I even like listening to Carlock more than Bill Stewart (who, by the way, had a similar style and kit-sound)

They say a band is only as good as it’s drummer. And Keith is like the god of drums!
Holy shit! Just found this through an interview with Lefebvre and Gwizdala. Carlock is a superhuman!
Jesus christ... every time I watch this, I'm as blown away as the first time. Stellar musicianship!
Oooffff same

Probably the best power trio in jazz !!!

Carlock=a major dude.....indeed he has been with The Dan on tour.......
The drummer is out of this world.
What a band.....Carlock is insane good.
This is my favourite incarnation of WK and his band. I had the pleasure of seeing this trio put on a clinic and a show while studying at St. FXU. Blows me away every time.
Cant keep my eyes off Keith, and i'm a guitarist...
Hard not to, as the video is centered on him, great as he is.
Arguably one of the best drummers on the entire planet. Interplay between he Wayne and Keith is phenomenal.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Savage joy as the known universe readjusts...bliss is this!
This is a great performance of the trio. Very very tight. I totally forgot to listen to Wayne Krantz. He is such a great fusion player. Among the best in the world. And he has a great sound with his taylor strat.
Tyler *. James Tyler to be exact
Incredible this!! Wow!!
Art at its best!!
Nasty. That's really the only word I can think of to describe this guy.... otherworldly.... Incredible. . Mind blowing. And I say this even after having seen Keith Moon, Buddy Rich, Dave Lombardo, the late great Neil Peart, Bonham, etc. Very underrated..
Carlock is a warlock! Sik!
All three guys are amazing- Tim is just on another level altogether.
Keith is brilliant, I got to see him with Steely Dan many years ago
I'm 40 now. I've played for two-thirds of my short life and listened to a lot of players come down the pike.

I never cease to be amazed by Keith Carlock -- I think he might be my favourite drummer.
Talent found here.
A modern funked up controlled Keith Moon!
8.28 onwards gives me chills, pleasure and inspiration. Just amazing.
No one grooves like Keith 👍
Insanely GREAT!
Carlocks FEEL is Magnificent his Execution and POCKET are as well
He stands on the Shoulders of Giants BUT has his OWN UNIQUE Greatness
Masters, every one of them.
Can't stop watching just discovered
Fantastic all around. Drummer is crazy good
That’s outside and so tight.
Great performance by these excellent musicians. Wayne is the Kat. Excellent multi-dimensional Guitarist. Very good improvisational Concepts in this performance. Keith on drums is a phenomeno player. Great Electric Bassist.
Keith is firmly seated behind the wheel...
YEAHH!!!!! #1 Wayne Krantz fan 55 bar
Ah, this is so fun to listen to.
Carlock no golpea la batería, sus baquetas flotan en ella y la hace sonar.
I hear the Holdsworth / Husband type rapport. It’s special! 🌫🖐
This sounds like the period when the Its no fun to not like pop album came out. Definitely an insane period!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is 2005 at drummers convention, no fun came out in 2009. wayne is all the time in a kind of insane period with his music ;)
Pocket and soul all in one.
Always great to see great musicians playing . TY for posting , love that line-up !
Goddamn it, the drummer... holy shit.
Love that ring mod pocket groove at 8:47!
Wayne is so unconventional, -when he plays more inside I think thats when he's at his best..He's naturally so abstract that his style is gonna be outside automatically !

Truth....
And no dampening of any kind in that kick. Intonation for DAYS. Nobody sounds like it.
CARLOCK !
Does anyone know what Kieth's leftmost ride cymbal is?
I think it’s a K Constantinople. Hard to say what size, I’d guess it’s a 20”
8:46, gorgeous groove!! Wish Wayne kept that ring modulator riff going a little longer- it's so addictive!
Seeing Keith next month at a drum clinic. Can't wait.
3:30 is so dirty, I love it
that was a god damn crushathon
coolest thank you
5:17 favourite part
watching Kieth got me to play just as fast as him one day i would love to play drums with him
Wow!
absorbing symbiosis
7:00 i love that pedal
I play guitar, but Wayne PLAYS guitar.
whoever directed this vid is as taken by Carlock's playing as I am.
kickass
Yeah Keith is a one-man show
Carlock takes Stewart Copeland's style to another level. Not an easy thing to do.
He only does not have half of the energy Stewart had, but yeah he is a better drummer..
Brutal
Effin beast
He cant even find his keys in his bottomless pocket
How deep are we a drillin' in dem' pockets........:)
Wicked!
Wow
5:19 how does the bass sound like a bell what
fuck its so goood
Woooooooo
4:04 how is that even possible
Wayne...no reverb...I like that!
You’re doing something right if you got Carlock interested in playing with you
0:10 Because
Somebody should have asked these guys what planet they're from because they're out of this world.
Crazy when the drummer is the standout in a trio of three great musicians, eh? Not crazy with Keith. 🙏
Keith Carlock is Bad M----Fer
BADD ASS
I had no idea Elton John is such a killing drummer!
S-T-Y-L-E
why is the name on the headstock covered?
Because the maker has an obnoxious "logo" consisting of the maker's name printed over and over. Krantz has said he loves the guitar, but finds the lettering distracting, so he covered it up. It's been that way for years.
Why don't my hands and feet work like this....why....why....
chk out that simple groove @ 3:30 on....then breaks it up around 3:45
8:35 ......
+frank Ring modulator?

Geeez...Keith, Tim, Wayne. Thumbs down because I am an idiot. As in...1000 thumbs up.
Keith has a bionic left hand
WHOMEVER IT WAS COULD HAVE MIXED THIS PROPERLY
young Tim has turned into a BEAST!!!
Are these guys SUPPOSED to be catching a "groove" of some sort?
If Clapton is slow hand Keith is left hand
Programmer spam

😂😂😂😂
...
Just disgusting
Incredible playing that does nothing but evoke admiration in me. Also a sense of 'what's the point' in terms of substance.
If by what’s the point one means why develop any melodic ideas when one can just comp for hours over a groove, then sure, point taken.
