I come back to this video every so often because it gives me so much joy. I love seeing how, by the end of the video, everyone back there is watching this amazing drummer do his thing.
Wowww. Now that's how you Have Fun with it. Funk and Pocket Masterclass and one with the Tune and Band. His skillset and ability enabled him to be Free and Have FFFFFUN🤪
RIP Ngudu Leon Chancler. Played with Weather Report first time I heard him. Saw him with Santana. Unique style, never forget the way he had his cymbals on that angle.
Expo Guadalajara. septiembre de 2008 Guadalajara Jalisco, México. El All Stars Band es un espectáculo único y ver tantas estrellas en la batería un agasajo. En el bajo estaba Neil Stubenhaus. Yo lo vi!!!
@queenmcsleaze Just read a story about him in Bruce Swedien threat in Gearslutz forum. Bruce was the mixer of Billy Jean and menioned N'Dugu's perfect timing. The drums in Billy Jean was a one take ntw.
RIP Ndugu! Your cymbal placement will always be used because of you. After I heard him say that odd sized chinas are trashing than even sized I made it a thing to only play odd sized chinas now

Yes , ok he plays with Michael, miles etc but let me explain how is possible that someone that famous : -don't play in time !! -can't play a nice rudiments because he has a not good enough tecnique -taste obout fell are Very Questionable Maybe he has a good friends so that he played witj this musicians? Honestly I'm so shocked
All time favorite drum vid. Been using it for years to show non-drummers what “feel” is, and how joy can be communicated through rhythm.
I come back to this video every so often because it gives me so much joy.
I love seeing how, by the end of the video, everyone back there is watching this amazing drummer do his thing.

seriously, for my money one of the best all-around in history
And JR Robinson in the back! 2 LEGENDS!
Such a raw awesome talent. He'll be greatly missed.
Thats just like the best example of a groove master right there.
Love how he sings along to the tune. Best way to get into the groove IMO.
Pocket! All young drummers need this as a reference
That head nod at the end is classic. They know they're tight.
Rest In Peace, Locke Saint!
I love that man, such a great drummer so sad... RIP Ndugu

His rudiments were insane with crazy power and precision. I know because I studied with him 1 on 1 during this exact time period.
