    Wow, not only is Peter Erskine a master on the drums, but such a nice, down to earth person. I'm blown away by the depth of his knowledge and his ability to communicate his experience and abilities to someone that is learning the brushes without sounding cocky.

    I met Mr. Erskine when he was touring with Weather Report in the early '80s. I was young (high school) and he advised that I master the basics and play along with the old masters. He was so unpretentious and so willing to help a young player like myself. Great guy and amazing musician.

    Wonderful man, incredibly musical drummer and he played with one of the best musicians that ever lived, Jaco Pastorius.

    Peter is supremely musical....at times I forgot he was playing to a track. I believe he is the only guy where his sound didnt require studio compression for the drums....extremely rare quality to his stuff. Thanks for this presentation.

    Tout est là, tout est dit ... Elégance, swing, groove, sourire, plaisir, bonne humeur, dynamiques, technique, raffinement, lyrisme ... Petit kit de 4 toms & 2 cymbales, rien à (r)ajouter ... Quelle classe ! Un des meilleurs drummers de la planète donc très demandé, c'est cela le talent ! De plus, Maître ès-balais, autre preuve de son immense culture ... Un must batteristique !

  • @geraldmellon740

    @Drummerladd257 9 лет назад +3

    Hands down one of the most informative lessons so far on Drumeo. If you wish to be a Musician and Drummer with skill in dynamics, feel and inner ear, Erskine clearly defines all of these areas. A lot to be learnt. He has played in many Groups of different Genres. There is far more to be learnt from him than there is to be learnt from some of the people who have been on Drumeo (I don't wish to call out any particular names). However I feel it needs to be said there is a certain breadline between; The MUSICIANS first Drummers Second - who HAVE done the work over years of playing in many different settings and gaining their respect as a Musician. As apposed to the DRUMMERS who are Musicians Second, who have all the gear and all the talk, but yet fail to represent any of the attributes gained from pushing themselves to their best possible ability and taking influence from those who have experienced and played with many. I am no expert in anyway and DO NOT pretend to be. I am still studying as A Musician (Drums and Piano) in my second year at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. However I do always try and remain LOYAL, RESPECTFUL and HARDWORKING as a musician, it's time to define who you are as a person and not fall into the classic drummer stereo type. Keep Practising and Remain Positive :D

    @22bojunior 8 лет назад +2

    @331paradiddle 8 лет назад +1

    Jared you are doing a great service for all drummers worldwide. You are exposing drummers to other styles they may not consider and that will only help move the art of drumming forward. Thank you for having an open mind and continued success. Love to see Brian Blade

    Peter's superb playing as far back as Steps Ahead band, in the 80's was among the best anywhere in the style of contemporary jazz. He's simply incredible at what he does. That's his earliest that I'm familiar with anyway.

    @joedrums8578 9 лет назад +8

    Thanks Mr. Erskine. I have switched from punk country to alt-country and have picked up the brushes for a bit. The dead sticking has made all the difference. Plus like a numpty I didn't think about the grip coated heads would give. Anyway..cheers. Love your work.

    Teacher of teachers, an absolute master of the instrument. those 69 suckers that downvoted this video 1) do not play the drums and have no idea what they're talking about; 2) play the drums, can't use brushes for anything other than styling their metal hair and/or suck terribly because they don't learn anything from the masters.

    Not sure if I missed it but is the Remo Fiberskyn drum head considered integral, or is this just a head PE prefers? I'm currently trying a Aquarian texture coated, and starting to think that the coating might be hampering my brush work where as something smooth like a FiberSkyn might be livelier.
    Great video and PE is first class! His son Damian is local here in Portland as well :)
