Carmine Appice is a universal drummer with amazing diversity, but he is also a very important person in Rock. He is an innovator and in all honesty he invented a lot of ideas that other drummers/musicians borrowed from him . A lot of times he doesnt get enough credit. If you go back in time and observe and do your research it is evident that a lot of interesting ideas that developed throughout the 60s and 70s in drumming and Rock music came directly from him
Fillmore West 2 bill blew the headliner away. Jim, Carmine ,Tim, Rusty Day one bad ass dude that could play the hell out of harp with the vocals. RIP. And son.
Saw Cactus in Des Moines, opening for Rod Stewart, went to the after party. Stewart showed up with a model on his arm, hung out for about twenty minutes, and left with a girl on both arms. Cactus hung out all night, jammed acoustic, and were just good folks. Refreshing!
These guys are by no means underated, their album Beck, Boart, and Appice was gantastic as has this band been historically, maybe they were not a part of popular culture but you don't get the recognition of Jeff Beck by being some obscure musicians! They were awesome had quite a few of their albums and still listening in 2024.
I was fortunate enough to have seen the original band line-up of Cactus, at New York’s Fillmore East. That particular song “Evil” was originally done by Howlin’ Wolf. Both Cactus and The Wolf inspired me (as a guitarist myself), to change around the Cactus version a tad, and do it in my own way. I loved re-arranging Blues tunes in my own way, as the original “ground floor” versions pumped up my creativity to the max, and the results always blew me away, along with my band members! Cactus, Cream, Hendrix, Humble Pie, The Stones, (and a myriad of others), fed my hunger for the Blues and Hard Rock! Long live the memory of Cactus!!!!
I hosted Carmine for a drum clinic at my music store back in the day not once, but twice! That’s how good his clinics are! Unfortunately, the first time I hosted him was the day Frank Zappa died. They called Carmine at the store to let him know. He was devastated but still put on an incredible performance and he even stayed over an extra day to host a master class. I’ve hosted many big name drummers including Mike Portnoy, Vinnie Appice, Rod Morgenstein, and Eric Singer just to name a few and Carmine’s clinic was by far, more educational. He’s a great teacher but more importantly, a super nice guy.
@@deadshot4245 Nice! He’s a really cool guy. He may have settled down a little now that he’s older but I remember what a ball of energy he was at the clinic. He’s very short in stature like me but he was wide open all the time. After the clinic he did and after we got everybody out of the store, it was very late but Eric was still full of energy so we hit all the strip clubs cause that’s what he wanted to do! After I dropped him off back at the hotel, I made it home as the sun was coming up. It was a great time that I’ll never forget. I even purchased the Pearl Masters kit he used at the clinic. Transparent purple with gold hardware. It was the very first run of the masters series. Still have it now.
Back in the days my band ' Smokin Ash' backed up Cactus and Buddy miles. At the Ritz in corpus Christi, Texas. Badass concert, afterwards we partied. Awesome night. Never forget,it will be with me for the rest of my life.
Carmine Appice will go down in Rock & Roll History as one of the baddest drummers in the world. Keep rockin' Carmine and thank you for the superb drumming and inspiration.
Carmine is King Kong with drum lessons. ...Forever the man behind band. What great and special about Carmine Appice ...he would assume the entire responsibility of a performance and carry on his back. He's the ultimate performer .
I saw Beck,Bogart&Appice in SanDiego 1973! For Carmine to sing as high as he did and play in such a killer way at the same time?! Just floored me!!! Loved every minute of it!
I’m a bit late on this but I freakin’ loved this. REAL music - REAL musicians. No fabricated, “I’m a huge popstar” about any of this. This is what is means to be a musician. No sequencing. No auto-tune. No sampling. No safety net. Just honest music! Great stuff!
@@gogoyubari366 Not.for me,but.he is rarely.mentioned in top guitar players in lists For me,he is in top 20,at least Love his playing style,along with.Leslie. West
How can you not like these guys and how they sound now! They sound awesome, there legends in my heart and I would die to have them come play in Massachusetts , Boston or anywhere in New England. These guy's are awesome. Carmine Appice reminds me of John Long bonham! Peace Cactus Love ya. I would have been jumping everywhere! :D
Love all the carmine vids i can get. I started with his book on basic rock beats and rudiments and 35 years later i make good money for performing all over the US. Thank you for your inspiration and instruction. Kickass drummer.
Carmine Appice wrote the book on rock drumming . He is a fantastic musician and drum teacher who has influenced drummers all over the globe for over 50 years. Like Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, John Bonham, Carl Palmer and all the great drummers from his time period, he is one of a kind and will not be replaced. Sadly he is one of the last of a dieing bread.

Hi Carmine; Joe Seddon here from Plymouth Rock. Frank tells me you have a new book concerning your time as a musician. Spending time with you for a weekend in the city was terrific, and appearing opposite you with Cactus remains a golden memory. During our visit we all listened to my 1971 original tune "Purple Murder" which is now on You Tube and later you released the album by "Blue Murder." You obviously liked the title, changed the color, and ya` know what? I`m happy you did! Your drumming cousin Frank and i keep in touch and he fills me in on your latest news. Miss you buddy, forever in my thoughts, Joe Seddon (Jody)
I met Carmine back in the mid ‘80’s. It was just after he left Ozzy’s band, he did a drum clinic in Hamilton,Ontario,Canada. He had a really nice double bass Pearle drum set in a candy apple red. He was a really nice guy and what a hard hitter on the drums.
I was at that clinic,,I chatted with him a bit too,,super nice guy..later in the evening I was having dinner in a little pub/restaurant and in walks Carmine and he came and sat with us,,,great night
Carmine is one of the best drummers of all time. Bought his teaching books and discs and studied them in the late 60’s. Technical and was ahead of his time. And still rockin!
I've been watching some CA videos recently. Never saw this video before. Never heard this song before. Not sure why there are so many negative comments. Pretty solid song/solo. I like it.
The ONLY thing "wrong" with this performance is that Tim Bogert isn't there. But, we forgive him. The "new" guy is doing a fantastic job. Big shoes to fill.
I've kept quiet about this for years because I'm not one for excuses, but for those who didn't like this performance, you're right, it wasn't our best. However, please look closely at our reflections on the stage in front of the mics and monitors. That's not mirrors, it's water. This show was in Poland outdoors at night during a wind driven rain storm and it was in the upper 40's. We were freezing with cold rain in our faces. We had little room to move because all the equipment had to be pulled back out of the water on the stage so we wouldnt get electrocuted. Sorry for the excuses, we can do better than this. pb
Peter Bremy - There's always people in the comments sections who have that smarter/hipper/better-than-thou attitude. And they're obviously amateurs, because no pro, who would know what they're talking about, would nitpick and critique a performance like this. It's about MANNERS, first of all, as nobody seems to have them on the internet. Secondly, being essentially anonymous (even if you use your real name) allows people to exercise their inner-asshole. And finally, the performance here sounds fine to me. I wouldn't be too bothered.
+Peter Bremy it's live and when people are actually playing its real, its better than a lip synching fake any day, I've seen every pro make mistakes, even Peart, the only musician I never saw make a mistake is Roger Earl
Carmine is just the coolest. He's been doing this for so long! To this day, I'll be listening to this drummer or that drummer, and realize, "Yep! There's another one that watched Carmine's instructional videos!" (I know I did...I never attempted to make a living playing drums, but learned enough from Carmine to still be a better drummer.) But he sings well too, and is a great showman. And in the audience's defense, they may not know what b-o-o-g-i-e spells...probably not a word most learned in their English lessons!
I remember Carmine at the Venice Festival, in 1969, with Vanilla Fudge. Damn what a show with Some Velvet Morning in full version and we all went crazy for the 4 in New York.
I've never really paid much attention to Carmine and his playing. Watching this video I can say how surprised I am how similar to Bonham he sounds. He's definitely a good player and a legend and I can see why he is so well respected. There are better drummers but I like what he brings to the stage.

@@jayusher576 you're nuts, Bonham does with one foot what Carmine does with two. I've heard Carmine cry about Bonham stealing his licks it is BS. Any drummer that stands in the middle of a solo asking for more cheers is just a dickhead.
Appice is top of the heap... I miss Bogart's bass. It's a broken marriage and both are worse off for it. I am hoping they appear in Melbourne with Tim on bass. Yes, I know Tim said he was tired of touring and wants to slow down a bit now and spend more time in the studio and teaching. This particular performance isn't one of the group's better ones. Jim McCarty is a fabulous guitarist, check out "Texas" on the Buddy Miles Express LP entitled Electric Church which was produced by Jimi H.
To all of you haters...and even a few non haters who never heard of Blue Murder. Check out the title track. He plays a beat called the Purdie Shuffle (made famous by John Bonham in Fool in the Rain) and just rips it up through the entire song. He is getting old but props to him for playing his passion until he can’t physically do it any longer! I salute you brother!
Saw original cactus twice, along with Cactus 2 and 3.Tim Bogart and Carmine where my Main influences Growing up. I am a Bassist and their Drum/Bass combo set up my style what it is today. Miss TB.
Sounded great guys! I pissed Carmine off in El Paso when he was with King Kobra. I was so excited that he was there and started asking questions. He was trying to set up his drums and I was bothering him. Sorry Carmine! You are amazing......
As a working musician myself. All you had to do is wait a couple minutes to ask questions. When I'm setting up and people start asking questions, I'm like "What if I came to you job and started pestering you at work?" I'm sure he'd be happy to talk as soon as he was done. Pretty obvious. This happens to me all the time. Have a brain!
@@technicalitems731 I don’t remember the year but the band I was in ‘Mainstreet’ was opening. King Cobra was touring their first album. I was still onstage for sound check. ANYWAY……Carmine kicked ass that night along with the rest of the band. He mentioned ,after me not getting that he was working, that he should have held a drum clinic. Lesson learned!
Hi ya` Carmine; great solo man. You and cousin Frankie look so much alike that i am still amazed. Once our band "Plymouth Rock" ended he kinda` vanished but has kept in touch by phone and e-mails on and off. Our concert with you during your Cactus time period has been placed in one of my videos on You Tube with photos of Frank on the old blue Pearl drums included. I`m up front singing the lead with Allen on flute and sax, Ron Lovett on bass. We had a great time staying with you in N.Y. for a weekend of listening to originals and dinners out. Thanks again for the sharing. Catch up to me at "Hollywood Dollywood" by Joe Seddon, a recent addition to my site used as a drop box of sorts and say hi. Best to you Carmine and your solo in this piece is spectacular and exciting as ever. Be thinkin` of ya`, Joe
Carmine makes it look so damn easy. Oh you can follow it... he takes you along with him... but playing it is an entirely another matter! This what separates master musicians from the typical pro guys. It's the minute detail where every stroke is clearly defined and heard... doesn't sound like loose snare strands or buzz, there is no hiding here behind other instruments playing too loud! He lays it out for you holds everyone's attention. He is THAT GREAT!
this guy can sing, sure enough, but he is no Rusty day. When I saw them in 71' at the orlando sports stadium, beside Quicksilver the best concert I ever saw.
I believe Clapton recorded a version of this song during his stint with Derek & Dominos, but the song was shelved due to the band's split up. It later resurfaced on Clapton's boxed set "Crossroads".
Remember, most drummers don't live as long as him. Buddy Rich was dead at 63. If he can rock like this in his 60's. Oh hell yeah!! He was a local legend on Long Island. Everyone wanted lessons from him. Joe Merola was his teacher. Bill Bruford told a bunch of us at a LIDC event that if we ever had a chance for lessons from Morello, take it. Best teacher!!!
Carmen Appice DESTROYS a drum kit!!! And thats a fact. The album my mom had...Beck Bogert & Appice just CRUSHES EVERYRHING!!! Wasnt Bogert and Appice in the Vanilla Fudge???
Back in the day, I rented an instructional video of his, from a music store. He has some really sick tricks. Like keeping a tempo in odd time while doing a drum riff that slows down to a crawl, while keeping the odd beat at a steady tempo on the bass & high-hat throughout.
Your right "ed dess", he has followed somewhat the style of Ginger Baker in his early years, but eventually became the drummer known today. He played with just about all good guitarists from his time Not knowing at the moment, maybe he retired? He was up to the likes of Ginger Baker, Don Brewer, Alex Van Haven, Billy Cobham, Artimus Pyle, Neil Peart, John Bonham, even Keith Moon . And let us not forget Mitch Mitchell. My all time favorite who became my inspiration! Buddy Rich.. Now there was one dedicated drummer. Check it out on Johnny Carsons old shows. You'll see my point
I wish I would have got into this band long ago. Radio sucks. I never remember hearing anything from this band growing up. But, it's never to late to discover cool music.
Honestly the only drum solo/solos I’ve ever cared about seeing at a concert , someone that actually sucked you into the performance , mesmerized , moved and stunned was Mikkey Dee and Motörhead !! Just the truth
Grady Sain Carmine used to use Ludwig for a long time but never has paid his tab up I have a friend that works at Ludwig is the drummer for “Weird Al” Yankovic Ludwig’s not too happy with Carmine
Solo was fine. It's pretty much what he was doing in 1967 or so and certainly what he did with Cactus - just not quite as sharp. What people need to remember is that when he first did those licks, Bonham wasn't doing them. Ginger did some similar stuff, but he didn't take the risks Carmine did with beats, swells, and showmanship. Heavy metal drummers with their triggered gazzillion bpm riffs were not even born. This was revolutionary for that era.
***** I think you meant "you're" instead of your. Anyway, yes, I'm referring to Appice with respect to the rocker world and would never compare him to people who played jazz. That's like saying Hendrix wasn't a great and original guitarist because Andres Segovia was playing fast licks before him. All players build on history. Appice brought new techniques to rock music. If you listen to other rock drummers from the early Vanilla Fudge days, his contributions are not debatable. Now, to say something debatable, I'll add that, if you'd stuck Appice into Zep after Bonham's demise, they would have never missed a thing (musically).
@@bpivr Old comment but I agree with you until your debatable point. No way would Carmine have worked in Zep. His feel is fundamentally different than Bonzos. Couldn't be more different in terms of how they play to the beat. There's a distinct musical reason Zep ended with Bonham.

Wow, Bonham admits to liking one small triplet feel Carmine did in a cover of Ticket to Ride, and all of the sudden its "Carmine schooled John Bonham!!"
Carmine put on a double-bass clinic back in 1970 in Florida, I think. It cost 500$. I wished I could've attended, but didn't have the loot. It would've been fun.
This drummer on drums, Jon Lord on keyboards, John Kay on vocals and rhythm guitar, John Paul Jones on Bass, Buck Dharma on lead guitar and u have a super group.
Carmine always played fearlessly and agressively. There aren't any more mistakes here than you would find in most of the albums he was on. He always took chances and pushed the limit. Not quite sure why everyone is surprised or confused. I thought it wasn't that bad considering the circumstances.

Jim McCarty is a fabulous guitarist, check out "Texas" on the Buddy Miles Express LP entitled Electric Church which was produced by Jimi H.
Saw him live in 1974 at the Sedalia Music fest. Still bringing it.
My kind of drumming. No click, creative, spontaneous. ❤
What a show, what a Drummer.
To all of you haters...and even a few non haters who never heard of Blue Murder. Check out the title track. He plays a beat called the Purdie Shuffle (made famous by John Bonham in Fool in the Rain) and just rips it up through the entire song. He is getting old but props to him for playing his passion until he can’t physically do it any longer! I salute you brother!
told ya atove BERNARD PURDIE man
I love how there's about 30 people in the audience.
Carmine is a legend. He has the epitome of a rock drummer's chop.
Bonham was the man though
Bonham was heavily influenced by Carmine Appice without the fills Appice pulls out of his arsenal on any given night
Aka not much

Saw original cactus twice, along with Cactus 2 and 3.Tim Bogart and Carmine where my Main influences Growing up. I am a Bassist and their Drum/Bass combo set up my style what it is today. Miss TB.
Sounded great guys!
I pissed Carmine off in El Paso when he was with King Kobra. I was so excited that he was there and started asking questions. He was trying to set up his drums and I was bothering him. Sorry Carmine! You are amazing......
As a working musician myself. All you had to do is wait a couple minutes to ask questions. When I'm setting up and people start asking questions, I'm like "What if I came to you job and started pestering you at work?" I'm sure he'd be happy to talk as soon as he was done. Pretty obvious. This happens to me all the time. Have a brain!
Andy Melendez what year was that? He still sets up his own drums? Cool story
@@technicalitems731 I don’t remember the year but the band I was in ‘Mainstreet’ was opening. King Cobra was touring their first album. I was still onstage for sound check.
ANYWAY……Carmine kicked ass that night along with the rest of the band. He mentioned ,after me not getting that he was working, that he should have held a drum clinic. Lesson learned!
Hi ya` Carmine; great solo man. You and cousin Frankie look so much alike that i am still amazed. Once our band "Plymouth Rock" ended he kinda` vanished but has kept in touch by phone and e-mails on and off. Our concert with you during your Cactus time period has been placed in one of my videos on You Tube with photos of Frank on the old blue Pearl drums included. I`m up front singing the lead with Allen on flute and sax, Ron Lovett on bass. We had a great time staying with you in N.Y. for a weekend of listening to originals and dinners out. Thanks again for the sharing. Catch up to me at "Hollywood Dollywood" by Joe Seddon, a recent addition to my site used as a drop box of sorts and say hi. Best to you Carmine and your solo in this piece is spectacular and exciting as ever. Be thinkin` of ya`, Joe
Carmine makes it look so damn easy. Oh you can follow it... he takes you along with him... but playing it is an entirely another matter! This what separates master musicians from the typical pro guys. It's the minute detail where every stroke is clearly defined and heard... doesn't sound like loose snare strands or buzz, there is no hiding here behind other instruments playing too loud! He lays it out for you holds everyone's attention. He is THAT GREAT!
I wish I could see Cactus...my top 5 bands of all time
A Testament to what a baddass drummer Carmine Appice was and still is !!!!!!
Foda
this guy can sing, sure enough, but he is no Rusty day. When I saw them in 71' at the orlando sports stadium, beside Quicksilver the best concert I ever saw.
Carmine! You still kill those drums even in your 70's!
Love that groove at 5:40!!
I saw Jeff Beck with Carmine and Tim Bogart in a driving rainstorm outdoors. No one left! Ole Jeff said you people are crazy!
Love this guys monster solos. Along with Ronnie Tutt, one of my favourite drummers
I believe Clapton recorded a version of this song during his stint with Derek & Dominos, but the song was shelved due to the band's split up. It later resurfaced on Clapton's boxed set "Crossroads".
Remember, most drummers don't live as long as him. Buddy Rich was dead at 63. If he can rock like this in his 60's. Oh hell yeah!! He was a local legend on Long Island. Everyone wanted lessons from him. Joe Merola was his teacher. Bill Bruford told a bunch of us at a LIDC event that if we ever had a chance for lessons from Morello, take it. Best teacher!!!
that was badass!!!
Carmen Appice DESTROYS a drum kit!!! And thats a fact. The album my mom had...Beck Bogert & Appice just CRUSHES EVERYRHING!!! Wasnt Bogert and Appice in the Vanilla Fudge???
carmine is nearly 70 paid his dues and put drummers half his age to shame
Back in the day, I rented an instructional video of his, from a music store. He has some really sick tricks. Like keeping a tempo in odd time while doing a drum riff that slows down to a crawl, while keeping the odd beat at a steady tempo on the bass & high-hat throughout.
Your right "ed dess", he has followed somewhat the style of Ginger Baker in his early years, but eventually became the drummer known today. He played with just about all good guitarists from his time Not knowing at the moment, maybe he retired? He was up to the likes of Ginger Baker, Don Brewer, Alex Van Haven, Billy Cobham, Artimus Pyle, Neil Peart, John Bonham, even Keith Moon . And let us not forget Mitch Mitchell. My all time favorite who became my inspiration! Buddy Rich.. Now there was one dedicated drummer. Check it out on Johnny Carsons old shows. You'll see my point
He does.
Thanks for posting!! dziękuję ! :.)
Carmine is the man i heard ten feet away from his kit at the linkin park ballroom 1967 vanela fudge
Saw them with Steve Miller, The Dead, & Jimi Hendrix
Temple Stadium, Phila, Pa April, 1970
The old neighborhood was like Woodstock.
I wish I would have got into this band long ago. Radio sucks. I never remember hearing anything from this band growing up. But, it's never to late to discover cool music.
Dynamic bass drumming. That’s what is really impressive.
Honestly the only drum solo/solos I’ve ever cared about seeing at a concert , someone that actually sucked you into the performance , mesmerized , moved and stunned was
Mikkey Dee and Motörhead !! Just the truth
Olá, Good afternom, the Mikke Dee yies, the drumers in the Wole wold.
I have loved this band many years, considering circumstances I think they delivered.
love Carmine !! love his Ludwig kits,,and Paiste set up ,, see him with these and sounds excellent,,
He’s playing ddrums not Ludwig ......
Grady Sain Carmine used to use Ludwig for a long time but never has paid his tab up I have a friend that works at Ludwig is the drummer for “Weird Al” Yankovic Ludwig’s not too happy with Carmine
So what you’re telling me, is that you’re friend is Jon Bermuda Schwartz ??????
He is nuts! Originality in every fibre of his being
Solo was fine. It's pretty much what he was doing in 1967 or so and certainly what he did with Cactus - just not quite as sharp. What people need to remember is that when he first did those licks, Bonham wasn't doing them. Ginger did some similar stuff, but he didn't take the risks Carmine did with beats, swells, and showmanship. Heavy metal drummers with their triggered gazzillion bpm riffs were not even born. This was revolutionary for that era.
***** I think you meant "you're" instead of your. Anyway, yes, I'm referring to Appice with respect to the rocker world and would never compare him to people who played jazz. That's like saying Hendrix wasn't a great and original guitarist because Andres Segovia was playing fast licks before him. All players build on history. Appice brought new techniques to rock music. If you listen to other rock drummers from the early Vanilla Fudge days, his contributions are not debatable. Now, to say something debatable, I'll add that, if you'd stuck Appice into Zep after Bonham's demise, they would have never missed a thing (musically).
@@bpivr Old comment but I agree with you until your debatable point. No way would Carmine have worked in Zep. His feel is fundamentally different than Bonzos. Couldn't be more different in terms of how they play to the beat. There's a distinct musical reason Zep ended with Bonham.
is this tom tom Moroney in Chicago changed blog name come back to boston I'm gettin the band back together this is Dave aka Tony of g o t
@@MarcusFenix50 he played behind teasing the beat my fave all-time cut off right nut 4 drummer cloned best right foot good times bad times on broken slinger land pedal 19yr old 1st time in studio natural talent don't care what anyone says best ever that will be named my 90lbs Luxembourg black k9 shepherd after him god rest their souls
Those Appice brothers are drum machines, man!
A true drumming legend, and a big influence on a young John Bonham.
and Bonham gets all the credit, Carmine could wip Bonham's ass
Such a shame you don't get it, Bonzo was a man on his own
Wow, Bonham admits to liking one small triplet feel Carmine did in a cover of Ticket to Ride, and all of the sudden its "Carmine schooled John Bonham!!"
Todd Lavigne 😂😂😂😂...Said the noob😂😂😂😂
@@toddlavigne6441 no, maybe the other way around.
Howlin’ Wolf all the way! All hail blues and heavy metal! Carmine Appice: God as always!
ya man best blues singer eval not shabby on slide
the italian madman
Carmine put on a double-bass clinic back in 1970 in Florida, I think. It cost 500$. I wished I could've attended, but didn't have the loot. It would've been fun.
Cactus was one of EVH favorite bands
Cactus is a coup de force!
desde vanilla, y hasta la fecha, siendo del top ten mundial, de lo mejor en EJECUCION de bateria.....SALUUUUU
This drummer on drums, Jon Lord on keyboards, John Kay on vocals and rhythm guitar, John Paul Jones on Bass, Buck Dharma on lead guitar and u have a super group.
Carmine always played fearlessly and agressively. There aren't any more mistakes here than you would find in most of the albums he was on. He always took chances and pushed the limit. Not quite sure why everyone is surprised or confused. I thought it wasn't that bad considering the circumstances.
Maravilhoso Carmine appice !!!
Only time I've ever seen Carmine perform is with King Kobra opening for Kiss back in 1986.
Elwood we’re gettin the band back together. This is my favorite Carmine song.
This is badass and real!
Mon ami est batteur et je suis tombée raide ding de ce morceau et d'autres ..... quel plaisir !!!
Mi banda,preferida por siempre❤❤💯
I think that Carmine Appice is the last alive drummer that keeps having the wild drumming style from the 70's
