As a non-drummer, I have to say this is long overdue. Really looking forward to it.
More of this please Andy. Love the history of it all. I’m not a musician but I do appreciate music and especially drummers. 🥁
It’s very interesting to think about those early jazz rhythms. You gave a meaningful demonstration of these things, I appreciate that.
Drumming must be hypnotic when you really get in to it!
This one has it all! great history and music lessons, and the spontaneous solo blows you away!
Messing with my drums….
I see a great line of Andy E merch coming!
“Drummers, messing with rhythm since time began”
Andy’s beating those drums like they owe him money. 💯
I'm a drummer and I found this very interesting. You're gradually becoming one of my favorite music and now even historical and also philosophical channels. Thanks Andy and keep on recording and your idea about what well known drummers came up with during the years, would make a great series with your drumming expertise. I also liked your take on AI, again, interesting stuff/thoughts.
More please, more please! That was great and incredibly informative. I believe I just heard a jazz drum solo make sense to me for the very first time. 😮 WOW!! 🤯
Well done Andy. Please teach us more. ❤
As a non-drummer I found this absolutely fascinating. I now have a new appreciation for drums.
you can do this,all this without a script? fantastic.
That was just killer!
Guitar player here and I had never heard most of this history of drums.
Great episode Andy!
Same here, thanks Andy.
Me neither..like WOW! I learned so much in such a short time!
It’s nice to see you back on the kit.
Well done. As a lifetime drummer and longtime teacher of drums, this is much appreciated. I did learn some things! Thanks. Excellent work.
Very informative - more of this please.
I can't see how this is primarily for non-drummers. This is absolutely brilliant and I've never heard another drummer talk about this. I bet this would be a major revelation to seasoned drummers as well. Absolutely brilliant.
I wish every RUclips video could be this good
Always loved drums and drummers even though I'm a non player.
Okay when prompt I can pla 3/4 on a kit.
Andy "Awesome" Edwards - Walkin' the Walk. Yes Sir. Andy, great vid and playing, very creative. Hey great idea to breakdown the playing styles of popular drummers. All the drummers you mentioned would be great subjects for your analysis. You da Man Andy!! I envy your students. It would be great having you as a professor. I imagine sending the drummers out onto the battlefield and dueling out some solos? drop the rifles and Kick out the jams. Everybody goes home groovin' instead of dead.
As a bassist, I thank you for this. A bit more understanding of the lunatic I'm trying to tie my playing to. 😅
I feel you. I am a life-long drummer who learned to bass just so I could get into the bass players head set. It really does open things up and make communicating musically and verbally a lot easier.
Non-drummer here: great video, amazing solo (made me put a comment down). I enjoy your videos, but this was something else!
ive been drumming for 45 years. i found this very entertaining and informative. great job. look foward to more videos.
Really interesting Andy. Just a small point that another commenter mentioned, in future if you do this kind of demo content, if you could change the audio recording method that would help avoid the dip in your voice level when we come back to you.
I'm a drummer (well, used to be) and this video is great.
Thank you, Andy! Very educational. Very entertaining.
Lovely solo Andy !
I have a question.
Have you ever heard of a Chanel called “Taustanauhat -- Frogbot beats” ?
He makes drum backing tracks. I think he uses a computer software program but he gets pretty good results for machine drumming . I used one for a tune of mine.
I sent a Thank You in his comments and saw he had over 3 million views. .???
He also replied with gratitude I could use his track.
Not sure if it could be a financially viable side hustle for you but for someone like me. To have a real crispy Andy Edwards track to lay a tune on would be amazing..
maybe also amazing to 3 million other musicians? Just a thought.
Love all you do !
Thanks Andy. More of this!!
It’s always thrilling to see a master at work. But, I’d also like to hear all of your commentary. Please have a vocals mike as well. Cheers Andy!
This was awesome - thanks, Andy!
The better the drummer ,the better the band.
As long as he doesn’t explode. It’s a very common occurrence you know. For reference see Spinal Tap
@@johannOpleaseword, self combustion is a serious issue for drummers
Careful fellas
@@Kurdt1 don’t forget that one time when one of the many poor drummers succumbed to a weird gardening accident
@@johannOplease I say best leave it unsolved
Choked on vomit. You really can’t dust for vomit.
Brilliant!
I look forward to more like this.
Fascinating, Andy - ta very muchly.
Great solo, too... ☝️😎
Thank you for this @Andy Edwards, Educational, Inspirational, Stimulating, and Entertaining!! Super Fantastica!!
Brill video! One of the best yet.
Great video, Andy! So interesting and informative. I hope you do more like this.
So glad you've moved back from the camera for your videos Andy. Not that you don't look good, but your face filled my rather large TV to such an extent that I had to 'watch' them in audio only. Haven't watched this video yet, but as a guitar player I know little about drums and their history. Just got in and looking forward to watching it with a nice cup of tea..
What a great time watching this
Well done man 🙌
Wow loved the information and playing, Quality work.
Thanks Andy, really enjoyed that.
Excellent video! I've always wondered about the history of the drum kit and this has filled a lot of gaps in my knowledge.
I really enjoyed this. Please continue perhaps the evolution of popular music and the drummers that participated. Really well delivered.
Best video I’ve watched this week!
Really enjoyed watching this!! Look forward to more content from you 👋🇨🇦
Great info, playing and presentation . Thanks 🥁
Excellent......Nice feel Andy, especially the bebop!! Wish I had had a drummer like you, back in the day!!! Non muso's might also be interested in how the bass fit's into the picture to create grooves etc.....
Nice one!!
Enjoyed this very much
Very creative drumming, and drum lesson , ANDY !!!
Great lesson!!!
Great thanks for sharing great insight& history fantastic playing ❤
Wonderful little video!
I loved this, great stuff.
Great Show Andy. ONYA!
This was such an interesting video!!!!
Superb stuff Andrew, spot on solo!
Fantastic! I’m a newer drummer and this is some great information. And your playing is top notch! ❤
Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷🥁🔥💯💜
Nice solo and really interesting intro to drumming, thanks.
Superbly informative presentation! I learnt a LOT! 😃 Also really loved your creative solo at the end! 👏
I could listen to you for hours. No matter the subject. ❤
Long-time drummer here. Great presentation and some nice playing. I agree that the evolution of the instrument and development of playing styles over the decades is a massive and fascinating subject. From 'traps' and ragtime - to monster drum kits and prog and metal in around 100 years.
It don't mean a thing if it aint got that swing. I loved the solo at the end, Andy. I look at my own kit in shame. Rock on.
Absolutely wonderful…. a wanna be drummer here who became a professional guitarist out of necessity due to living in small council house as a kid.. no way was I allowed a kit! But, my love for drums hasn’t waned… this is a fascinating video thank you ✊🙂
Brilliant video, thank you very much!
Superb!
Fantastic video! I have a new appreciation for the drums! More like this one, please!
Fascinating history and information, Andy. Please do more of this type of thing. And the drum solo was WICKED!
Great solo !!
Very well done ANDY! I leaned a lot. Thx~.Creative solo! Nice!
nice history lesson and great solo....I'm going to go play my drums now!
Very interesting. Always wanted to play trap kit, but I became a percussionist in Latin/Cuban/jazz (conga, timbal, bongo, etc.). Loved the history lesson. 🙏👍
What a treat to watch! Would love to see a deep dive Steve Gadd video.
Fascinating video. And you got some chops on you mate!
Thank you kindly!
As a life-long drummer, I found this a great watch and learned a few pieces of history I didn’t know! Also, great playing!!
As an aside- I recommend checking out the Billy Martin book “Claves of African Origin” where he details many of African rhythms and how they evolved through slavery in the Americas (and influence pretty much all modern music!)
I'll recommend "Rhythmic Principles and Practice of South Indian Drumming," by Trichy Sankaran. It made it much easier for me to feel comfortable improvising in odd time signatures.
So educational - thanks for explaining in such a fun way. It has made me think about getting a drum kit.
Fascinating.
That's really cool. The video starts og slightly boring, gets more and more interesting and as soon as he's playing you're sold - really cool drummer!
This is such a great video, it's like reading a great music history book and all the music is coming to life as you're reading
Good stuff
one of the best channels on youtube thanks andy
Appreciate that
Interesting! Cool solo
Thank you for a great presentation! Liked and subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
Brilliant video, absolutely fascinating stuff 👌..I'd never thought about the 'stick drop' and the history of swing before
Thanks, Andy. Another interesting video. I wonder if you’d be interested in doing a video on drummer songwriters, and drums in songwriting. Great songs written by drummers.
Very educational. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
You must get up early. 5:00?
That was great Andy, thank you. I bet it felt good to let loose a bit for the channel.
Hope your long term covid symptoms are minimal! Best wishes
Love it.
This is a very good video.
Great solo too!
Fantastic
Andy, I’ve loved the drum part in Welcome to nowhere from Experiments in Mass Appeal since the day I heard it, I play this song now just to listen to and appreciate the groove and to appreciate just how unlike any other drum part I have ever heard it actually is. The drumming in Welcome to nowhere single handedly inspired me to start taking drum lessons at 56 years of age, so, for the inspiration, I thank you unreservedly. To watch you playing this incredible drum piece would, blow my mind, and, at the same time humble me. So, if you want to make an old man, extremely happy, please, please drop a video of you playing along to the original track. I’m so hoping you read this, fingers crossed. Take it easy Andy.
You're too modest -- this is very educational and enlightening for drummers as well!
And a really great drummer too!
Great solo
Great technique
Love it
From a non-drummer (nor a musician): Cool! Thanks for a very interesting and educational video!
Cool I know how to play the drums now. Thanks Andy!
I sometimes slap my thighs in time with music, and I come up with complex, irregular rhythms that I think sound pretty cool, I think I coulda been a good drummer in another life.
As a non drummer, but someone trying to program drums, this was depressingly inspiring. 🤯
Terrific video. Like you said, lots of info here! It brought me back to my old high school music classes, though I daresay this was more informative than any of them. Magnificent drum solo, too.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very interesting.
Good solo, Andy. I don't often say that, even to great drummers I admire, but I liked the creativity.
I appreciate that!
Dean Parkes , the guitarist that played on more Steely Dan tracks than just about anyone else , called drummers a ' Rolling Jumble of Habits ... ' unquote . As someone that made a living from such habits I understand what he was saying . The context was Fagen doing the old ' I love what you are going for , but could you make the hi hat rhythm that I asked for ' New Orleans style , New Orlean's style but as played from someone NOT from New Orleans ... ' whatever you say Mr Fagen . The guys I play with currently do the same thing ... " get him out of his comfort zone , make him do this , but without doing that ... " bastards ! Great vid , I have been researching the development of the modern drum kit and you bring several aspects I hadn't considered ... Well done Sir ! Keep up the good work ... I have enjoyed your Prog rants immensely and all .
