Being a Drummer over 50 Years I ve Never Seen anyone Reach this Level of Proficentcy Intensity other Than Buddy But This Drummer Ultilizes his entire Set Knowing every Nuance He is a True ARTIST
+Lee Pearson This is my kind of solo. I dare say it's not so much a solo as a track in it's own right : it's got impetus, movement, steam, direction. Magnificent.
Ah! Originality! A Drum Master having fun at work. Chops (for the sake of "wow") are for cutting drummers but this was a solo for the audience. Many other drummers seem to forget that.
Masterful chops. Truly awesome technique, and created some killer grooves with Spyro Gyra. I don't get the towel and the stick thing, or the behind the back thing. Then I saw Chris Botti and got it. Same with Billy Kilson. Botti digs showmen. Kilson was uber - animated with Dave Holland, but never did the Botti stuff.(thank goodness) VASTLY different audiences.
Lee, this must be the one of the most creative, immersive, passionate, entertaining drum solos I have ever seen!!!! You are blessed with a gift beyond compare. Keep sharing your talent with the world.
What do l know about drumming…was this good..was it bad..was it indifferent..for me it was a man in love with what he was doing…so for me….the performance was astonishing because of what Lee could do with sticks ..drums and symbols..my body is vibrating.. so something amazing just happened ..🇨🇦
Saw the show last night and was gobsmacked! Seen Peart, Palmer, Copeland and shot video of Gadd, but I never saw anything like your solo last night. Thanks for coming out and sharing your talents with us!
Chris Botti knows how to pick them, that's for sure! I just came to this video from another Chris Botti drum solo video of when Billy Kilson was on tour with him. THAT was one of the best drum solos I've ever seen, and now I'm watching THIS. I'm just so glad that I gave up on the drums a long time ago. I still love messing around but to reach anything close to this level would be impossible for me. I'm just so happy that others are able to capture and upload these amazing performances for all of us to see.
He's got the showmanship of Pappa Joe Jones and the chops of Buddy Rich and then some! I just saw him with Chris Botti and the Oregon Symphony and I had to look him up on youtube and see him play again. The solo is astounding but to watch him play live with that band is something else again!
Imagine doing everything he just did for an audition and still not get the gig. I would legit kill myself. Makes all the sense in the world that it’s either Kilson or this guy on drums. Similar presence. The dynamics are everything👌🏾👍🏾💪🏾🔥
I was a big Spyro fan, and I remember watching Mr. Pearson ply his craft masterfully "back in the day." But I never saw this level of magic. This is phenomenal. Absolutely unforgettable. Lee Pearson has become a force of nature.
+Lee Pearson Awesome, I play with those as well, awesome on heads and tender on metal. Well, I did till my dog ate them. Shame they made them so tasty. :)
You're the Alan Dawson of your time. I saw him in a clinic in 1970~ I bought that kit hoping to sound anything like him. But of course I had no idea the master that he was. He wad just a ghost of texture ... You carry on this amazing tradition to a degree he would have loved...I loved Alan for his great humility and unsung place in Drumming history...Carry on this legacy Lee...Alan lives in you! God bless Ed Genovese composer/ Drummer
fantastic. so unique and different terrific showman appeal to drummers and non drummers alike for the pure skill and eccentricity. The dudes' brilliant, and he owns catagorie of drumming he exists in on his own!
I just saw you at Ravinia Music Festival in Highland Park with Chris Botti. You are amazing, so glad I had the chance to see you perform in person. This was the best concert ever!!!
I think it's too crazy that when I found this video I was listening to rush, so when I saw the tittle I thought his name was a word play referring to rush, you know geddy LEE, Neil PEARt, Alex lifeSON.
+Lee Pearson what an amazing solo Lee. I have lots of drummers I admire Nathanial townsley Gavin Harrison tons me but two. Lee what an incredible drummer you are. Respect sir
Lee Pearson an inspiration in drumming. What I am hearing and seeing is God Given talent. The man Lee is drumming from his heart. Notice how he gets soft soft and then uses dynamics I would say that many drummers out there today are great no doubt about it. I can hear Max Roach ideas in is playing and the chops are there. Without a doubt this man deserves all the recognition and then some. As a fellow drummer I admire him and will wait for more exciting drumming from this fine musician. thank you and God Bless You BOOM
Great chops brother !! Been drumming 40+ years , seen some greats and you are knocking on the doorstep my friend !!! Awesome technique , great speed , accurate and tasty all at once !!!

+Lee Pearson This is my kind of solo. I dare say it's not so much a solo as a track in it's own right : it's got impetus, movement, steam, direction. Magnificent.
That was the best solo I've ever seen or heard. I'd travel far and wide to take lessons from you! Simply, amazing!
Wow. I'm glad Bill Burr mentioned you on his podcast

Ah! Originality!
A Drum Master having fun at work.
Chops (for the sake of "wow") are for cutting drummers
but this was a solo for the audience.
Many other drummers seem to forget that.
I smiled all the way through this. Incredible. Kudos to Bill Burr for showing this guy some love.
Finally a solo both the lay person and a drummer can appreciate. Great showmanship as well.
wow. my first time seeing this guy. that solo was truly inspiring.
Easily one of the most underrated musicians of all time
OMG, one of the beat solos I've ever seen. Unbelievable!!
Bill Burr got me into this guy!
From where? An interview ?
From where?
Why doesnt this have a million views yet??
Such an AWESOME showstopper of a solo. I'm not a Botti fan, but I'd pay good money to see Lee Pearson play...
Also, I would have paid money to see/hear Bill's reaction when he first watched this video.
Masterful chops. Truly awesome technique, and created some killer grooves with Spyro Gyra. I don't get the towel and the stick thing, or the behind the back thing. Then I saw Chris Botti and got it.

That's a man living his dream! What a performance!

Monster! World class! A Master! Why are some douchebags "disliking" this video?!!
Saw the show last night and was gobsmacked! Seen Peart, Palmer, Copeland and shot video of Gadd, but I never saw anything like your solo last night. Thanks for coming out and sharing your talents with us!
One of the most masterful drum solos I've ever heard..... Ever. Not kidding.
Thanks so much appreciate the love and support!! Please keep me in your prayers as I will do for you!!! Blessings to you and your family!

Bill burr got me again
The best Drummer over the World.famous..famous..
Jesus Christ...I've never had so many "how the fuck did he do that?? *rewind the video*" moments.
Some of the most ecstatic drumming I’ve ever seen!
So creative, entertaining, and just…..wow!!!
Been one of my favorite solos for years
Absolutely awesome! fantastic showmanship with the chops to match!
He's got the showmanship of Pappa Joe Jones and the chops of Buddy Rich and then some! I just saw him with Chris Botti and the Oregon Symphony and I had to look him up on youtube and see him play again. The solo is astounding but to watch him play live with that band is something else again!
I'm truly humbled and honored by your kind words!! Peace and blessings to you!
Great Great Great the best !
My eyes aren't deceiving me, right? I mean . . . he does only have two hands . . . right?

Amazing!!! Now thats alot of fun! Great skills! God Bless I am in line for the prayers now. Peace
7min in watch the left hand but remember this is great skills that put great daily practices.
Starting at 3:20... he was swatting away a kill joy demon! ;)
I saw Lee at Uptown Theatre in Napa...incredible. Great way to round out an awesome display of Botti's band!
Music is the voice of God and u are His drumstick!
Love the sound of his drums.
Wow! Saw this guy on Chris Botti Javajazz concert and had to find more solos. Lee did NOT disappoint
When the chef forgot the salt and pepper @2:20

This was such a joy to behold. Such showmanship. Such groove. Such technique. Such creativity! A++
Wow! So great...I really enjoyed this!
I was a big Spyro fan, and I remember watching Mr. Pearson ply his craft masterfully "back in the day." But I never saw this level of magic. This is phenomenal. Absolutely unforgettable. Lee Pearson has become a force of nature.

Thanks for the kind words. The sticks are pro mark Broomsticks.
Peace and blessings
Thanks Mr. Pearson!!
+Lee Pearson Awesome, I play with those as well, awesome on heads and tender on metal. Well, I did till my dog ate them. Shame they made them so tasty. :)
I was introduced to Lee Pearson's drumming last night at the Count Basie by Chris Botti. Damn, if he doesn't find the world's greatest musicians!
I've never before watched a 7+ minute drum solo... this was incredible though. really digged it. Bill Burr sent me and i'm glad i checked it.
a great drum solo...
You are FABULOUS!!!..sorry but I just caught you watching a Chris Botti video. OMG!!!! You're too much!
best solo ive ever seen. tasteful and creative.
Lee - You could've given the late Buddy Rich some competition! Fantastic! Can see you and Chris feeling your way in! On another one.
Thanks so much!
A.M.A.Z.I.N.G !!!!!
this guy is crazy, he doesn't play that "normal" stuff^^
