When I started playing drums in 1985, there were two solos I listened to over and over. This one and Neil Peart on Exit...Stage Left. This must have been just a few months after Woodstock. The hairstyles give it away, and Shrieve's hair is longer here.
I was wondering about that very thing just the other day while watching Soul sacrifice at Woodstock and pondering if it ended up in somebody's basement and they had no idea the history behind it, thanks!
@@maxwellgordon9868 - and in this video ruclips.net/video/BQmMz1eMutY/видео.html Michael Shrieve is playing the same piece using a matched grip, but switches occasionally to traditional during the piece. Amazing.
Lucky indeed. Must've been a great concert. Santana was already a legend by then. Actually, their performance at Woodstock shot them to the top, instant recognition worldwide
The Ludwig drum company has to be so proud of this footage. Think what you will of Ringo but he never played their 4pc kit like this! Absolutely outstanding.
I was born in San Francisco California in the mission district 1955 when I was 9 I walked from San Leandro to Hayward to listen to Carlos Santana playing at a battle of the bands!!
saw them in bristol england a very very long time ago. a 2-hour perpetual motion machine and highly tasteful with it, unlike most percussion prima donnas of the time. easily the best i've ever seen ;o)
THIS is a Drummer who does SO MUCH with SO LITTLE.. Man sez Size don't matter it's HOW you use it!! Man cemented his Legacy with his Stellar Performance at Woodstock!!
First time I saw the Woodstock movie, I had to find out who the drummer who played the Solo for Santana's set was. Im so glad I did! It's fair to say Micheal is a BIG influence on me!!
@@jumpinjojo i feel like since the lockdown he’s been gettin more recognized but I’m this stage of his life you may be right but I still love his old stuff
I have a feeling that Buddy Rich would have noticed Shrieve, when Santana was coming up at the end of the 60's. Shrieve, a solid, real, musical , old school drummer.
Wish I remembered the exact video here on youtube, but there's an audio-only interview where Buddy talked about his well-known dislike for Rock drumming, but still gave honorable mentions to Bobby Colomby and "that young man who plays with Carlos Santana".
So grateful for this video - despite his fame with Santana I always felt Michael never truly got the praise he so deserved as a drummer! Love his style, and for those who don’t know his wider work, check out the Go albums he did with Stomu Yamashta. Finally, I think M is the only drummer who could have convincingly taken over Ian Paice’s drum chair in Deep Purple he is so good on the snare🤘🏻
His playing on Bella Coola with that triplet pattern with the accent on the 3, on the upbeat with left hand doubles across the toms is still to this day a struggle for me. Brilliant stuff!
back when the movie woodstock was released, i saw it 4 times- all because of this guy, his sound, and the look on his face during those rolls, near the end. can't find the words to describe it- just blew me away. maybe intensity- for REAL, without showing off. how rare is that?
Huge fan of Michael Shrieve but very happy the 3-minute drum solo is a thing of the past. Too much of a good thing. Their brevity is one reason the Woodstock videos, of Michael in particular, are so impactful.
Very true, but more drums give the possibilty for more 'colour' - Neil Peart (RIP) for example had a huge kit and the colour it added the Rush's music was legendary but wouldn't fit with Santana. Horses for courses.
It’s almost impossible to find but the uncut version from Woodstock really takes the prize. Shrieve has all the tools and is well trained Just watch his metronomic hi-hat work, that’s hard to do.
He is the closest to Buddy Rich in my opinion when it comes to timing & that era of swing/big band inspired drummers that came up through the 60's & 70's ,anyway you see it..that boy is gifted 🥁
I agree that there are some Buddy Rich chops in there. In those days, having a minimal kit kind of was limiting the variety and creativity. The after when Shrieve moved to a bigger kit he expanded the chops.
The entire band was ,and still is a big influence on me and music. They are my early drumming teachers. Same with other rockn bands. And their teachers ,Buddy Rich ,Gena Crupa, and other early jazz drummer's.
Lieber Michael, Dein leidenschaftliches Drumsolo auf Woodstock hat mich ungeheuer fasziniert. Zudem gleichst Du äußerlich meinem jungen Mann (so, wie er aussah, bevor er krank wurde). Ich glaube, auch wir beide werden uns kennen lernen - nicht wahr!? Schön!!
Santana overlooked ??? They became famous at Woodstock and that was almost a lifetime ago lol. And their legend grew 1000 times since then. Overlooked Hahahaha
imagine being there. wow!
Proof you don't need a big kit when you have big talent.
I Agree , He is a True Drummer
Ludwig was my favorite kit. But I think it was bought by another company and it became junk.
@@veritasetlibertas7889 I also had a set of Premier made in England. I has a Rogers chrome snare Dynasonic
Well told
👍😎🎯💞🎶
I always loved watching Michael Shrieve in action! One of the all time best drummers!
BLACK METAL TEENS LISTENING PINK FLOYD
A snare, two toms, a base, hi hats, two crashes and a ride.... All he needed to prove its not about the kit but all about the skill
I agree 100%. Just watch The Late Great Buddy Rich
Little known fact. Mickey Hart (Grateful Dead) was Michael's teacher in the mid sixties.
Never heard a Ludwig Supraphonic snare, sound so good..
Even with a well worn batter head..
God the man is GOOD !!!!
Just 20 years old here.
I saw this guy when he toured with Sammy Hagar...was great.
He played in Hagar's band ? I never knew that. Cool ! He rarely gets mentioned.... Well, at least us Santana fans know he was the real deal.
@@rickleblanc8900 Not in Hagar's band, but a side project called HSAS (Hagar Schon Aaronson Shrieve).
he is a master craftsman...
Very fine drummer. Rare. Playful, creative, impulsive.
Playful is key 🗝🎼🥁🤷🏻♂️
Michael Shrieve...THE BEST.
The kit he played at Woodstock is on display at The Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville.
So it should be , because that Woodstock solo of his is absolutely stunning 👏
When I started playing drums in 1985, there were two solos I listened to over and over. This one and Neil Peart on Exit...Stage Left.
This must have been just a few months after Woodstock. The hairstyles give it away, and Shrieve's hair is longer here.

Shiit now I got a reason to go to Nashville
Rather hear it than see it.
The drummers in Santana and Chicago have always been a huge part of the groups for me. Just incredible stuff
Danny Seraphine.
Agreed. Watched an old live performance if the Allman Brothers Band the other day and was reminded about their drummers . Two of them but it worked.
Agreed! The drummer in Tower of Power - David Garibaldi - Brilliant and Superb!
Michael Shrieve's drum solo style reminds me of the great Buddy Rich.
Good old tradition grip.
Yup
yee Rich is king!! Buddy Rich > Krupa
Buddy Rich yes but let's not forget about Joe Morello.
@@maxwellgordon9868 - and in this video ruclips.net/video/BQmMz1eMutY/видео.html Michael Shrieve is playing the same piece using a matched grip, but switches occasionally to traditional during the piece. Amazing.
This is one of the best drummers the world has ever known.
Check out Joe Morello!
Probably this guys
Hero!
Yes I got lucky and saw Santana touring the Caravanserai Album in 72 at the Toledo Sports Arena an incredible and often overlooked latin soul album .
Lucky indeed. Must've been a great concert. Santana was already a legend by then. Actually, their performance at Woodstock shot them to the top, instant recognition worldwide
The Ludwig drum company has to be so proud of this footage. Think what you will of Ringo but he never played their 4pc kit like this! Absolutely outstanding.
Ringo and Shrieve are two completely different drummers.
Why on earth would Ringo play like Shrieve ?
Ludwig need to be thankful that ringo sat behind a Ludwig kit
@@redflag8970 Yep, there's no doubt that Ringo helped promote Lugwig drums, he even said it himself.
@@eightinches6094 must of helped the brand sell
I was born in San Francisco California in the mission district 1955 when I was 9 I walked from San Leandro to Hayward to listen to Carlos Santana playing at a battle of the bands!!
Michael Shrieve is one of the best 'rock' drummers ever!
Awesome talents.
True old-school drummer!
Shriev and Lear. Two of Santanas finest!
the gave one of the best individual performances at Woodstock.Sweet
Michael Shrieve, magic!!!
Great Drummer!!!
Good god that hi hat is dancing!?
Drumming hardware’s come a long way.
Also I love how he utilizes rimshots. I can’t hit my snare without making one.
I never get sick of watching this video
I was mesmerized.
Shrieve, and Palmer, the best!
What he can do with a kit always leaves me breathless and wanting more.
Thanks for Your Comment
Ye makes me feel pretty useless haha
what an awesome talent...... and what a spunk !! 💌
saw them in bristol england a very very long time ago. a 2-hour perpetual motion machine and highly tasteful with it, unlike most percussion prima donnas of the time. easily the best i've ever seen ;o)

Omg, wish I was there to hear it live😍
AMEN.
He could always swing. And it's all you'll ever need. Nice.
Phenomenal drummer, and at such young age!
What drummer!!!!! Unique in it's style for Santana!
So grateful for this video - despite his fame with Santana I always felt Michael never truly got the praise he so deserved as a drummer!

That's really good call👍
Santana always let him play solo within his songs.
His playing on Bella Coola with that triplet pattern with the accent on the 3, on the upbeat with left hand doubles across the toms is still to this day a struggle for me. Brilliant stuff!
The guy was born to hit...
brilliant with such a small kit...outstanding really
Unbelievable control n concentration and yes great hair as well
This is what blew me away at an assembly in my high school months before Woodstock
Very Cool, He was one of the Best along with The Great Buddy Rich
Living the dream at 19!
Just imagine hearing the roar of what has to be the worlds largest festival crowd. Had to be inspiring for Mike.
back when the movie woodstock was released, i saw it 4 times- all because of this guy, his sound, and the look on his face during those rolls, near the end. can't find the words to describe it- just blew me away. maybe intensity- for REAL, without showing off. how rare is that?
The rolls were intense and tight. 🤘
Best of the Best Drummer Mike Schrive
Awesome drummer.
Huge fan of Michael Shrieve but very happy the 3-minute drum solo is a thing of the past. Too much of a good thing. Their brevity is one reason the Woodstock videos, of Michael in particular, are so impactful.
Wowwwwwww......just... wow. The joy of it.
Happy 71 Mike! July 6, 2020 🍻
So intense yet so balanced. 🤎🥁
Wow, this man played at Woodstock with Santana's group... wow...
when he was 19 years old. dude is a mf beast
The ultimate dream gig ! And he was young and already super talented.... Santana had really awesome musicians back then
Literally invented a new genre of fusion. Rock n latin.
One of the greats! Kicking ass!
I didn’t know about this guy until 1983-84 with HSAS. Great live album and some killer songs.
LOve them Old Ludwigs
Absolutely amazing wow!!!
He was at his best here.
In later years, he never seemed the same..
Life at incredible levels.
Don't need 20 drums to play great, He is a True Drummer. I Love the old left handed grip.
Very true, but more drums give the possibilty for more 'colour' - Neil Peart (RIP) for example had a huge kit and the colour it added the Rush's music was legendary but wouldn't fit with Santana. Horses for courses.
It’s almost impossible to find but the uncut version from Woodstock really takes the prize. Shrieve has all the tools and is well trained
Just watch his metronomic hi-hat work, that’s hard to do.
It's killing me that an uncut version is so hard to find. I know that solo note for note and when it's edited, it's painful.
Oddly, Shrieve feels his drumming at Tanglewood was much better than Woodstock!
His absolute best work, bar none, was on the debut Automatic Man album in 76!!! No better drumming from this gentleman!!
Happy 73rd birthday Mike! July 6, 2022.
Any thrash metal, speed metal or death metal band would have killed to have this guy on the drums for their bands.
He is much more talented to be in a Metal Band
His high hat control is phenom!
Mejor baterista del orbe
you can hear the influence of his "bouncy" percussive hits in his later electronic music ... along with the way he carries energy throughout a set
My big crush
Maravilhoso 👏👏👏
Amazing improvisation! 😍🤩😍🤩
He is the closest to Buddy Rich in my opinion when it comes to timing & that era of swing/big band inspired drummers that came up through the 60's & 70's ,anyway you see it..that boy is gifted 🥁
I always think of Buddy Rich also when watch Michael's solos
Better than Buddy, No offense
Amazing!
That's All the Drums a Great Drummer Needs
Ian Paice also didn't have a huge kit and damn, he's amazing too !
Fabulous drummer..💖..👍..
Mind blown!
A really good drummer can make a 4-piece sound much, much bigger... like this.
So GOOD!
the absolute best drummer
The best!
10 times the talent of most drum gods who have to have 80 or more drums.
Grandioso!!! Realmente grandioso
Post Woodstock I believe making him only 19 and maybe 20 at that point...lol
I still get cold chills watching Michael play.
Underrated Drummer
When Your Good Your Good
Happy 72 Mike! 2021🥁
Awsome, love it
I agree that there are some Buddy Rich chops in there. In those days, having a minimal kit kind of was limiting the variety and creativity. The after when Shrieve moved to a bigger kit he expanded the chops.
Burning solo.
Love the Left Hand Grip its old school
It’s not old school. It’s merely a preference.
best drummer ever period!
Lourdy!!!!!!!!!!
That hi-hat is like…lemme the F*** outta here!!!!!
The entire band was ,and still is a big influence on me and music. They are my early drumming teachers. Same with other rockn bands. And their teachers ,Buddy Rich ,Gena Crupa, and other early jazz drummer's.
That's a cracking (little) Ludwig kit..! Always wanted a kit just like it, but could never afford one!
Sh*t happens!
Thanks for All the post
Lieber Michael, Dein leidenschaftliches Drumsolo auf Woodstock hat mich ungeheuer fasziniert. Zudem gleichst Du äußerlich meinem jungen Mann (so, wie er aussah, bevor er krank wurde). Ich glaube, auch wir beide werden uns kennen lernen - nicht wahr!? Schön!!
Guess He is German
Underrated drama in a very overlooked band
Santana was Not overlooked but the drummer was
Santana overlooked ??? They became famous at Woodstock and that was almost a lifetime ago lol. And their legend grew 1000 times since then. Overlooked Hahahaha
