I really appreciate Chris taking the time to make sure that the form (even the solo's) was tight. As musicians, we hear and feel things differently, but it's important for bandmates to know what the other is hearing and feeling to communicate the music to the listeners well. We can all learn a lot from this clip.
His name is Christian Scott, all of the guys in this video put out an album called Rewind That. It's an amazing album, highly recommend you check it out.
I'd like to see Pridgen work with Christian Scott or another jazz musician again. I felt that Pridgen's in pocket yet wild gospel kinda style combined with Scott's compositions made the music more driving and exciting. The drumming really increased the head nod factor.
Fuck people saying, "dude, can you just groove"?! He is unique in his Style! People, what part of "non academical" style dont understand!? That's the essence of music, be yourself with the music. So neither itsn't an easy thing what Pridgen tries to playing over being himself with the music. If the other musicians tries to limit or change his way of playing, that's not music, that would be shit
Curious as to how this video was recorded. Killer quality considering there isn't a mic in sight. I am assuming it is from the camera, what with the cymbals muffling at 2:27 and all. I'd love to know how it was captured.
@Nathaniel Pace Thomas is a very technical drummer. It may not sound like it but every note he plays, he plays for a reason. He's not some guy banging on the the drums hoping it sounds good. lol
@pricesmithmusic & @ZebraBear88 The first half of this video brings me back on a weekly basis. Watching good quality footage of a young Pridgen wilding out on some jazz is hella refreshing.
@ozzaman yeah bro TP twisted him and no matter who he MDs for he cannot stick it to Pridgen during the solo. I personally think its bad form...but then again they are at a school, and this is them practicing / perfecting their art - we're very lucky to see such great footage...and I'm pretty sure at the gig the gat player is counting 32nd notes in his head hard out - and nervous as shit...cause if anyone can lose you in a solo its Pridgen.
i hear the album when thomas priedgen feat christian scott, the name of album is rewin that, and holy shit, that's jazz, fucking amazing and prodigius album!!!!
Wonder what kind of kit that is.. maybe some kind of yamaha. The snare an the ride sound dope af too. Thomas been my inspiration to get behind the set since i found out about him back in high school. Played set since middle school but he got me on it again
He put out two albums before Rewind That. In 2002 titled Christian Scott and in 2004 named Two of a Kind with Donald Harrison. This cut is from one of those joints. One of those albums was boxed out by major labels cause he was outselling other trumpet players just by him and his brother shipping them to stores themselves while he was still in Berkeley.
@jstafuckinusername dude is a beast - was born a beast - and on top of that is also a hella fukin good guy. He's right up there for me in the all timers list...and still so young.
I can identify some elements in the melody (3:45) from the piece "Kiel" from the "Rewind That" album. This is the last song. But really - "Rewind That" is a must have!
Anyone criticizing these guys for "overdoing" or overplaying, keep in mind, they are fucking teenagers! blowing through Berklee like its kindergarten! Jazz, rock, prog is in awesome hands with young brilliance like this.
I love how hard it is for everyone to keep up with Thomas. Thats why they were pretty much like, lets just let him have his solo, then when he slows down we can play again.
I am whole heartedly ashamed of this comment, what can I say, I must've been young and stupid, I my self am now a bassist as well as a drummer, talk about eating my own words!

you can't tell Thomas what to do. he will not be tamed. lol
he will not be tamed. good one. lol
this is gold fottage right here!XD, its really neat to see the difference in the years
thomas is playin wit em on purpose IT HILARIOUS
Wow man! I've been wanting to see how you played back then. awesome
as much as i love pridgen, cant get over how well fucking dressed the trumpet player is.
I'd like to see Pridgen work with Christian Scott or another jazz musician again. I felt that Pridgen's in pocket yet wild gospel kinda style combined with Scott's compositions made the music more driving and exciting. The drumming really increased the head nod factor.

Thomas Pridgen w/Christian Scott @ Berklee School of Music, Boston MA.
+Richard H Blumberg Correct
What year is this?
This video must be from a while ago because that McDonald's cup looks old af.
You must not know these guys that well if that’s what told you it’s old.
you must to do another album with Christian !!!!!
Thomas always had one of the sickest styles.
he has his own band called the memorials but he played drums for Christian's album Rewind That
Thomas looks like he has a giant arm in the thumbnail.
Thanks man for upping this one..it's golden. So much love from NL
Always amazing
Whenever Christian threw his hand up to stop the band 😂
so funny he was not having it lol
so glad you posted this, thanks
@iareme05 um, it looks like they're just rehearsing the hits of a drum solo. kind of seems like chopping a lot would be the point
Do you know which track these hits are from? I'm not familiar with his first album.
Can you please do more drum covers and live streams
is taht matt stevens?? he goes way back?
I think so!
Pridgen isnt even trying
@Nathaniel Pace Thomas is a very technical drummer. It may not sound like it but every note he plays, he plays for a reason. He's not some guy banging on the the drums hoping it sounds good. lol
Was this stuff ever recorded? Did it make it to an album?
Sounds really interesting.
MaulSlasher it’s on Christian Scott debut album Rewind That, really awesome stuff

@zimmoframen what are you on about. he's an awesome guitarist and he's also christans scotts MD. im pretty sure he can count man...
Cool to Thomas in a jazz setting. Was this a one off thing or does Thomas play with Christian regularly.
@deadprecedence
I agree, it sounds really good flowing through a camera mic.
What year is this? Nice to hear a pre TMV Thomas... Thanks!
i hear the album when thomas priedgen feat christian scott, the name of album is rewin that, and holy shit, that's jazz, fucking amazing and prodigius album!!!!
totally amazing
It's Berklee times?
Oh my! Are these the actual sheds before the recording of "Rewind That"?
Kiel. It's on the Rewind That album
Wonder what kind of kit that is.. maybe some kind of yamaha. The snare an the ride sound dope af too. Thomas been my inspiration to get behind the set since i found out about him back in high school. Played set since middle school but he got me on it again
It's a dw
Joan Herrera
Doesn't sound like one but maybe. I thought after looking at the lugs it wasn't a dw because on a dw they're kinda circular or w/e.
fashizzle58 so , I guess is a pdp
Its a PDP M5 Maple Series
Its dw espenada. For those saying its pdp m5 you clearly have no clue and shud shut you f mouth 😂
Some awesome phrases here
This is the makings of Kiel!! Raw.
No this is not Kiel. Neither versions.
He put out two albums before Rewind That. In 2002 titled Christian Scott and in 2004 named Two of a Kind with Donald Harrison. This cut is from one of those joints.

@Killenmachine05 Any true musician (Especially drummers. Or at least good drummers) know that bass makes a huge difference in a bands sound and feel.
trumpet player is WOW, holy hell what sound !
And Thomas too
from what year is this footage? Thomas does really look likea kid.
Marc Batero Espejo a super jacked badass kid though holy fuck
From what I understand he started school at Berklee when he was 15
Best mcdonalds plug ever
Whats the name of the last song they were playing?
@jstafuckinusername dude is a beast - was born a beast - and on top of that is also a hella fukin good guy. He's right up there for me in the all timers list...and still so young.

I love how hard it is for everyone to keep up with Thomas. Thats why they were pretty much like, lets just let him have his solo, then when he slows down we can play again.
so its official that sabian stole the idea for their ozone cymbal from zildjian because that was clearly a prototype cymbal he was using
