This is not a drum class, this is a sermon about drumming! You can feel the energy, you can feel the attitude. I could listen to his shuffle all day long, almost like a guided meditation. Incredible drummer.
Amen. 8:40 (Just a thought but) "Attitude. Keep the tempo slower (put a smile on your face) , Don't be angry when you're playing the Purdie Shuffle (following God's beats and make everyone see it), because the Bass player (God) we'll carry you right along, and the next person carrying you is going to be the Keyboardist (Jesus) Getting ready in the joints and of course, the guitar player (The Holy Spirit) they comes a little later and satan will stay out of the way.... thank you"
I've had the honor and privilege of playing with Purdie for the last 35 years or so. His is the deepest pocket I've ever encountered. God bless you, Bernard.
Dont get me wrong, gospel chops are awesome, blast beats and fast playing are impressive, jazz grooves are amazing but this here.......this. this is why I still play drums and have done for almost 30 years. My favourite drummer of all time, and anyone reading this who plays and has never tried to nail the Purdie shuffle....when you do try, it will make you realise actually how amazing this legend is. I've been practising that groove everyday for 3 years now, and have only just started to get a bit smoother......another 30 and I still wouldnt be any where near as smooth as Bernard hahaha!
Man I feel you. I've been obsessed with the purdie shuffle lately, playing it all day long, not getting bored one second. That shit puts you in a transe. Purdie is a treasure :)
Remarkable. This is a drumming genius. His work with Fagen and Becker is incredible. What a treasure - 9 minutes plus of this and not a single beat less than perfect.
I've done deep dives into drummers like Neil Peart, Thomas Lang, Jimmy Sullivan, and Mike Portnoy. My dive into the drumming of Bernard Purdie has improved my drumming as much or more than any of them. He's helping me put some swing and much more groove and feel into my drumming, which is opening a door to many more different types of music that I didn't think I'd enjoy playing as much. Yesterday I was playing a bunch of Sade songs and hypnotizing myself into a state of pure bliss : )
The one and only Bernard Purdie, I bet nobody else can play it like this. So effortless and at the same time so masterfully professional. The most laidback drumming I’ve seen.
this beat is life. It's very hard to master, but the quest to get there is very joyous, and when you finally get the train going steadily, it feels like the beat lives (leaves?) on its own. So rewarding :)
@@PiwaiGee Been working on mastering this beat for a very long time. Mr Perdie makes it look so simple. Such a joy to watch this happy human metronome work his magic. Absolute legend!
I had the honor of watching this amazing talent at one our local clubs in NC. Then had the pleasure and honor to meet him after the gig! What an amazing man and talent! Bless you, Bernard!
The best drummer to put his foot in the world! He's the DNA of everything, he is music, he is history, he is Bernard Pretty Purdie P.S: Jeff Porcaro thanks for telling me about him
This is what drumming should be about. Joy. He is smiling and laughing while locked in the pocket. I hate to say it but too many Drummers I have come across have bad attitudes especially if they feel like they have more or better chops than you. Just have fun, music is supposed to make you feel good
This guy has more grooves than a fresh set of tires. More pockets than a trench coat.
More class than all the schools of the world!
He even talks in time
Such a legend
ye

Incredible drummer.
"I could listen to his shuffle all day long"... Amen, Brother!

It has nothing to do with The Gospel except for the part that got you to admit you have an innate capacity for worship
@@einarabelc5 Neither does farmers, seeds, or fish, but Jesus used parables to say deeper things. Don't be so quick to miss the meaning behind things.
we are all in the choir!!
Babylon Sisters....Shake it...
I've had the honor and privilege of playing with Purdie for the last 35 years or so. His is the deepest pocket I've ever encountered. God bless you, Bernard.
Did he ever do his little scat humming while drumming with the band? 😂😂
@@Prodbykidjake He did, and every once in a while he'll actually sing a tune! He's a pretty good singer, and his musical instincts are second to none.
Definitely Blessed. Deeeep POCKET
His pocket is *so* deep, James Cameron wants to explore it with a sub.
Thats amazing, can you tell him we love him next time you see him x
Mr. Purdie's high-hat chops are simply phenomenal!

He's not just a drummer, he's the whole band!!!!
That snare sounds absolutely fantastic
well, yes, but let's be real. it is not the instrument, it is absolutely the sound of genius Bernard Purdie!
His hands sound fantastic lucky snare
@@bradlloyd6261 definitely
Rick Beato did an interview with Purdie and they cover his setup such as high hat clutches, cymbal tape, snares, where & hot to hit, etc.
Gorgeous snare. Ideal.
Remarkable. This is a drumming genius. His work with Fagen and Becker is incredible. What a treasure - 9 minutes plus of this and not a single beat less than perfect.
What a treasure he is!
Long live Bernard Purdie
That's the essence of drumming, a pure feeling
This man has such a great energy to him
Get the shuffle on a loop and just see how many different bass lines you can write to it. It's endless.
Great idea 💡 👍
That’s awesome, Shitty Bill! You should jam to Carter McLean as well… Carter is a phenomenal player and has tons of videos of just drums.
just did that. Always learning.
Nobody plays like him, absolutely amazing... I love progressive metal drumming, but nothing can beat an honest Purdie Shuffle.
Bernie has been counting out his heartbeats since he was born.
just imagine, he's a man that influenced both John Bonham & Jeff Porcaro. a living treasure of music. just wow.
Pretty Purdie is the GOAT!!
How could anyone not love this cat, Mr Bernard Purdie 💎🌟🎵❤️
Try playing it at 1.25x and even 1.5x this shit GOOOOOO
I could watch this man for hours... always amazing!
Man, he is 83 years old! Amazing!
8:3
Damn, bringing a tear to my eye over here… What a legend and a beautiful person 🖤🖤🖤
Honestly, I can't think of another beat that I'd spend as much time listening to as this one.
Home at Last.😊💯💗
Damn, what a groove. That kick-drum is speaking to me. Dat RIDE-CYMBAL!
Thanks god this is filmed …. What a genius. So much attitude
He is a Album all by himself. That's amazing! Thanks for posting.
once in a while you have to come back to this, absolute legend.

And Forever!
This man is a legend

The ghost notes with his fingers lol…just brilliance…. This man is a drum legend and national treasure
Great Man
I got hooked on that beat my whole life. That's all I need to groove. Thank you. You own it all. Man, I wish you were my teacher.

Obscenely Phenomenal..
I had the honor of watching this amazing talent at one our local clubs in NC. Then had the pleasure and honor to meet him after the gig! What an amazing man and talent! Bless you, Bernard!
A Master..... thanks Bernard!
That is an onboxious amount of microphones for a drumset of this size.
Wow! Using finger taps on the snare for ghost notes while cross sticking. Incredible! Learned something new!
The best drummer to put his foot in the world! He's the DNA of everything, he is music, he is history, he is Bernard Pretty Purdie
P.S: Jeff Porcaro thanks for telling me about him
stop with that childish "best' stuff. It isn't real. .. and if it was, he isn't.
@@morbidmanmusic for you brother, for me, he is the best
I'll bet he knows where the one is even when he's sleeping. What a wonderful human being.
he tells his watch what time it is
Blows my mind every time I watch this. The pocket is unreal
Never Stop Go Purdie! ❤
Thank you Sir! 🙏🏻
LOVE!
Amazing!
Beautiful! What a Master!!! Long Live Sir Bernard Purdie!
GOAT

This is what music is about!
This is brilliant. Could watch and listen to him all day!
This is one of my go to grooves.
All day.
Thank you.
His drums always sound very good. Woody with organic acoustic feel. I love it. “You don’t have to play loud”, you sure don’t have to mr Purdie.
This is what drumming should be about. Joy. He is smiling and laughing while locked in the pocket. I hate to say it but too many Drummers I have come across have bad attitudes especially if they feel like they have more or better chops than you. Just have fun, music is supposed to make you feel good
He talks so grooooovy.
This is refreshing to see ❤
Best video on RUclips! 🔥🔥🔥
Legend 🙏🏻
