Charlie Adams is one of the most under rated drummers I've ever heard. He is a "Buddy Rich" technician and his drum rolls are some of the most crisp in music. Thanks Charlie and Yanni for "Live At The Acropolis" ...and for Karen Briggs too. Amazing Music history!
There are so many more talented underrated musicians than famous. Missing the self managing shit or something or totally shit about the meaning famous :D
I am a fan of Yanni since 1997. I remember how Charlie played his drums in the concert at Acropolis. Since then I became a fan of Charlie Adams too. Long live Yanni and his team.
Charlie Adams' skills is fascinating. His talent is extraordinary, he is simply unmatched. And being Yanni's best friend tells a lot about his great character. I admire you and I love you all.
I saw your orchestra when you came to Puerto Rico in 2013. Charlie Adams is in the good sense a maniac musician or a beast if you prefer. He is very impresive. Love your music Yanni.
Not sure what it was about today, but for some reason decided to look up Karen Briggs on twitter, started tearing up... One of those moments where it really hits you how your music has impacted m throughout my life. I'm 38 now, still remember it like it was yesterday seeing Live at the Acropolis on PBS then sitting there on repeat dial trying to get tickets when you came to Minnesota. Through ups and downs through all these years, still coming back to your music. Then seeing this video on how you two have known each for so long. I think there's a whole generation of us out there that got exposed to your music by our parents when we were kids, and you've been there along the way. Just wanted to say thank you! and hope to be able to see you live again.
Charlie is not only a GREAT musician but also very humble and nice guy! Which is a rare combination in the music business, my son Chris Osborne was lucky enough to be one of Charlie’s students, such an awesome teacher! Best wishes and thanks again Charlie!!!
Wow, talk about FEEL THE LOVE (between them, and each of them projecting it to all of us too), huh?!!! I had the pleasure of meeting Charlie after one of Yanni's concerts, and he told me how he's been playing with Yanni from the very beginning. He had such a humble loving vibe. God bless them both.
Mr. Yanni is one of the world's best musician. He always humble and like to introduces his co-musicians to the worlds. May the lord always blesses you Mr. Yanni with good health.
My introduction to a real drummer in the 90s when there was no internet. I remember vividly Charlie brought the house down on the marching season solo while I watched it on TV with my jaw dropped.
Back in the early 90s on a small black and white television on public television i watched live at the acropolis i fell in love with this duo with standing in motion. Such talent.
I know it's too soon. But, the best drummer in history just passed away; Long live Neil Peart and RUSH! Charlie is now in my top 5. Ive seen you boys in concert many times.....Marching season is such an incredible song. I know your history and I know that song wrote itself! Charles, is a master of....13/16 time. Marching season is IMO the best technical piece of music ever written/performed!
I love you guys GOD BLESS YOU both and your family and your entire crew, I hope to see you here in Alberta Canada. Since day 1 when I watched your concert on TV LIVE AT THE ACROPOLIS 1994, inspire me to be a musician. I’m a drummer now in my church I’m serving. Again GOD bless you YANNI TEAM.
WOW, Love your story Charlie. I suffered much of the same letdowns but God blessed me with my family and taking care of them came first. Love your work as well as Yanni at the Acropolis. BLEW ME AWAY
I enjoyed this interview with Yanni nd.Charles Adam's vry vry much,they r the craziest duo I hve ever seen or heard!!Since they r childhood friends nd more like brothers I can imagine the pandemonium in their house driving the mothers nd inmates crazy right?Yanni is vry gentle nd funny at the same time whereas Charles is the more boisterous one.Carry on with your togetherness nd camaraderie.
YANNI YOU ARE A WONDERFUL PERSON!! WE ADMIRE YOU AND ALL YOUR ORCHESTRA, EACH AND EVERY ONE !!! THANK YOU ALL. GREECE HAS CREATED A LOT OF YANNIS...BUT YOU ARE THE ONE AND ONLY ONE!!!!
I love these one on one's with Yanni. Highlighting each of the musicians' talents is a great way for us to see and get to know them on a more personal level.
I grew up with you two. I used to follow you both all over Minnesota when you played in the band Chameleon. I loved watching Charlie and his rotating drum set.
Thank you 🙏🏽 for getting the drummer, he’s helpful to my brain and for clarity. My eyes 👀 see without distortions and premature decisions. Drummers are blessing to have especially for self on a bad day🤔. Both of you are a blessing for each other especially those yucky days😏. The orchestra you have Yannie is a delight and treasure. I pray people come to the Lord through your music. Thanks. 🙏🏽📖😇
I've watched you since I was a child and your music was an inspiration to me as an aspiring drummer. To this day I still find inspiration through your music! Thank you and your crew for everything you've given us throughout the years.
Hey Yanni and Charlie. This is Robert, former singer for Zig Zag, we played a few gigs with your band Chameleon in the twin cities where Charlie was doing the spinning drums IN THE CLUBS BEFORE MOTLEY CREW And Charlie, you and I had a long phone conversation in LA, but we never got together to jam...... man, in the 90's. Congratulations on your success.

I like Yanni's expression when Charlie plays. It's icing on cake

Great drummer...Charlie Adams😎👍
Charlie is the most fun to watch. I didn't know they grew up together.
Charlie is not only a GREAT musician but also very humble and nice guy! Which is a rare combination in the music business, my son Chris Osborne was lucky enough to be one of Charlie’s students, such an awesome teacher! Best wishes and thanks again Charlie!!!
Sure thing. When he's not drugging women with Yanni and using them. Pig.
These musician's are the complete package. I love the variety of instruments, including the cello's. They reach a place deep inside!
Wow, talk about FEEL THE LOVE (between them, and each of them projecting it to all of us too), huh?!!!

Went to the Clearwater concert 4-24-18 I did not know what Charlie does is even humanly possible. He is incredible and the concert was off the charts.
My Favorite Drummer World Wide.
Adams is the king. His fun with the drums is awesome.
Saw you about 20 years ago in Florida and would enjoy seeing your new band.
Love Charlie Adams - didn't grow up in Joliet, IL, but know the area. Play percussion as well, and keys, love your work Sir! ♫

An absolute treat to see they are very close!! Loved Yanni since the beginning, those 80’s albums are crown jewels 💎💎💎💎💎 Cheers!
You blew me away with that revolving drum set at the Gibbon Ballroom back in the early 80's. From one drummer to another, you will always be my idol.
Respect from morocco...great chemistry
Charlie Adams.....so powerfull and crazy souds for show....
Thanks Yani and Adams. God bliss to you.
My introduction to a real drummer in the 90s when there was no internet. I remember vividly Charlie brought the house down on the marching season solo while I watched it on TV with my jaw dropped.
One of the happiest times in my life is when I saw Yanni at the Acropolis concert. Brilliant performance. His mom was there. That said it all.
Please do this with everyone on the team
I know its 1 year since you commented, but i think he has just done what you requested.
Yanni, and Charlie's music are EPIC! Thanks for sharing, sir. May you both continue to be blessed in all things.
Back in the early 90s on a small black and white television on public television i watched live at the acropolis i fell in love with this duo with standing in motion. Such talent.
Charlie still has that mischievous look in his eye that made him spin upside down years ago! So glad to see that you are happy with life.
I absolutely love how Yanni is in touch with every aspect of the artistry that makes his music an experience. Yanni is who I think of as master class.
Thanks to every musician in the world, you have given us happiness
Great Positive Energy those two posses! I love Charlie's Strength, speed and face reaction to Yanni and the audience when soloing.
I'm loving this series with the band.
This is insane, he's pure genius!!! Go Charlie!!!!!
Hes my brother from another mother..... who days thay these days..... golden words
You have found how to do what you love in a way that you love. I love that. I envy (in a good way) that ability to merge those things.
I know it's too soon. But, the best drummer in history just passed away; Long live Neil Peart and RUSH! Charlie is now in my top 5.

Marching season is IMO the best technical piece of music ever written/performed!
Yanni has a great personality and very appreciative to any kind of sounds easygoing and a fun-tastic to be around with for sure.
4:55 - these guys FEEL the music instead of thinking about it .... wow
I love him so much.
Charlie es genial !! Técnica y musicalidad maravillosa !!
I love these Master class videos, Yanni.
I love you guys GOD BLESS YOU both and your family and your entire crew, I hope to see you here in Alberta Canada. Since day 1 when I watched your concert on TV LIVE AT THE ACROPOLIS 1994, inspire me to be a musician. I’m a drummer now in my church I’m serving. Again GOD bless you YANNI TEAM.
