Out of the thousands of drum video’s I’ve watched, not to mention being a drummer for 35 years….this was the BEST display of musicianship I’ve seen. If you’re a drummer you can understand what I’m saying. He makes it sound easy while playing tight inside, outside, and around the pocket. Absolutely AMAZING!!!
I smiled with delight and joy the entire performance. This is a musician who just happens to play the drums. Every syncopated lick was beautifully crafted to accompany the track and Mr. Seawright just entered my top 10 best youtube drum performances. I could watch this all day. Thanks for sharing this gem!
I've been digging a lot of excellent drumming videos on Y.T. lately. but this one has it all; Superb musicality, over the top drumming skill , groove for days, enough funk to make the dead bob their head and just totally entertaining even if you're not a drummer. I am so very impressed with this man Robert Sput Searight. This is one video i'll be watching over and over.
I literally woken up for a month straight to this. This is out of this world. I can’t count how many different genres are included in this. They have to make him play every year until the end for us fans. I want to make him a protected citizen! No driving Sput!😂😂😂
This is by far the best solo I've ever enjoyed. Most drummers just beat the hell outta the drums, mostly as fast as they can while keeping a beat. This guy literally takes you on a journey. I will definitely be listening to this many many many times again!!
He's not just keeping the beat, he's playing the melody as well. Really beautiful player and the way those drums have been tuned is sublime....BIG KUDOS!
Holy moly the sound of that fine tuned set along with this legends artful creative playing just gave me inspiration to be an even better than I am today and every other day after that. You can never stop learning new things, amazing drum solo performance!
That's my dude Sput, a kool bro that I've been knowing almost 40 years, and he is an ARTIST. He can play various instruments, but his first love is skinz. He's played on countless artist from r&b to gospel, to rap, to jazz; you really can't miss him, even in the classical genre. But, most of all he's as humble as they come, even with a Grammy, and other awards. He has spent years perfecting his musical craft, with his musical family, relatives, and other well known artist; Snoop Dogg, Lalah Hathaway, Snarky Puppy, Mz E Badu, Kirk Wahlum, Ciara, Fred Hammond, The Clark Sisters, Pharrell, Kirk Franklin, just to name a few. His cuzzin and mine, play for Badu, and travel across the globe doing what they love, 🎼. He layed the track for this session, a local legend with a good spirit 😉
Yeah boy. Get down with your bad self. Dang. After watching this man's clinic, 5 times, I love it more and more. Unbelievable technique and precision. I am grateful to my search engine for allowing me the opportunity to enjoy such power and musicianship. Well done. You have my subscription.
If I had not seen this with my own eyes, I probably wouldn't have believed it just by only listening to it. It just don't seem to be humanly possible to perfectly execute with that kind of precision for so long error free. But I did witness this with own eyes, and the only word that seems to come to mind is FLAWLESS. Thank you.
Superb.....man I am running out of adjectives to describe that incredible performance. You are truly entertaining to watch. I watch other videos to learn more about the kit. But when I wanna be entertained, I watch you kick. You are my favorite drummer to watch, and that is saying a lot because I have so many favorites. A lot of things can be taught, but what you got is truly GOD's gift to you. Thank you.
@@lesblase3667 It’s also kind of stupid to rank drummers. Someone might say I’m a better drummer than Robert but that’s not at all the case however someone can believe that
I'm shocked!!! Masterly! When I see or hear something ideally performed, beautiful in music and creativity, tears flow involuntarily. Now I'm in tears...
What an amazing display of percussion here , WOW ! Love the smiles when he knows he is schooling this drum kit like a little kid . Keep it coming Sput !
Best performance recorded on RUclips so far... Musically ✨ good. Full of master skills and melody with purpose. I came here several times. Anytime I remember to talk about drummers and drumming, I come here to show this video to other folks.
@@tomspice73 You must be tone deaf. Not only are there dozens of nuanced features to this solo, but he is harmonically alligned with the backing track too. You cant find me a drummer this versatile and with such dynamics.
@@tomspice73 1. Thats subjective. 2. Steve Gadd is great, one of my favs. But not even Gadd has phrasing like this, nor does he have the drum capacity sput uses here. It's a non-argument. Sput is using 2 drumsets here. I've never seen or heard Gadd do something like that.
At 9.20 the whole kit is groovin with him. How come I live with one of the most incredible drummers I ever heard, and I never heard of this dude until now
Wow. Sput has a perfect combination of groove AND chops.....top shelf ---- as good as the skins can possibly be played by a human being. My new favorite drummer right now. Phenomenal.
He enters every movement like he's some guy who walked into the store to try out a drumset for the first time only to kill it, and it feels so real...this is 🎨. This is smooth as a baby's bottom perfection!
This comment is everything I thought listening to that part over and over and over! Absolutely incredible. How can you be the carpet and the over lay of the music!?! He basically sandwiched 😂🤣😭 the music in that time period!
Oh Hell yeah!!! Beautiful technique and he gets down right nasty!! Innovative and inspiring. Just so you know...I'm a pro drummer as well and I appreciate talent on all levels. Bravo.
Everything was very highly maintained every drum was tuned very amazingly you have heard every single beat and knows where it came from... Nice tune up
Two things- 1.) Is he naturally a lefty? His left hand work and ambidexterity in general are unbelievable! 2.) HOW did he figure out all the right heads to use? Everything sounds so friggin' perfect! P.S. I LOVE the unconventional setup and use of different snares, timbales, stacks, etc. instead of just a huge row of toms
I think the amazing sound he gets out of the kit is partly due to the guy that mastered most of the snarky albums, Eric Hartman. Sput cites that guy as helping him get a really good sound out of his kit. Also I agree, I hate seeing just an orgy of toms with nothing interesting inbetween ☺️
+William Keating Yeah he is, Sput says he naturally left handed, but he learned to play open handed because it would be impossible to play behind other drummers who are of course right handed, and there would be no time to switch a whole drum set around just to play.
This man is a master of drums and music. I saw him once at Zydeco in Bham, and I can't even remember the name of the band, just remember being entranced by Sput the entire night, even ignoring my date most of the night!
This is what a "True" drum solo is. You tell a story. You start easy then you build. Some guys play every lick in their arsenal as fast as they can but never tell a story. Good solo Sput! 🎉
I’ve watched this video about 7 or 8 times over the years, and here’s a couple things just noticed..: the kit to the the left is in tune with the arrangement: he is using some jhonny rabbi signature cymbals: I’m pretty sure that is a hcs hat combo the far left: and there are generation x cymbals on the kit. He did so much with the whole series of meinl cymbals. From hcs to byzance. Im excited to buy some meinl cymbals in the near future.
I wasn’t going to put comment on this one because it’s obviously amazingly marvellous but this is mad! Madness! How does he do that!? He’s not from this planet man !
+Joshua DeLaCruz yup, He blessed you and tuned your ears that you may hear it...many people cannot hear even though the music is playing...we are blessed daily...it's a gift He gives His children...
Every note from any style of music is a musical one when it comes from professional drummers. At this point it comes down to personal preference that's all. Everything is musical in it's own right✌
Man that's a beautiful Star kit and I'm not a fan of green for me but it sure fits him for some reason! Always top notch playing as usual, beautiful arrangement✌
the opening to his backing track is just so wonderful beautiful (the whole thing is an amazing work) but jeez if sput wrote that I'd love to hear more!
this man truly gets it because he plays everything so damn mparticularusical! obviously he puts that first in his playing over everything else! he plays exactly what the style of music requires and never over plays it! This man understands what music is really about! what an inspirational guy.
I am not afraid to say,,this guy is a virtuoso on the Kit,,he bring something different....Not a lot of left & right drummers he masters it I’ve seen him a lot

Exactly what I was thinking!! 1st time seeing... will not be the last!! His groove is SUPREME!! BEEN PLAYING 43 YEARS!! Can't do this 'tho!!
Absolutely right my brother 💯. I can't add enough words to what you have said.

Check out early snarky puppy. Before the larnell Lewis era.
Also. Check out zildijan live where he plays keys. This dude knows it all. And recently he’s been touring with toto.
This a drum festival or his solo album release? Guess I'm too ADD but want more activity@@mogglie
это путешествие в его жизнь
Выучить такое соло это как выучить Толстого "Война и мир" все буквы и знаки препинания, УВАЖЕНИЕ, ТАЛАНТ!!!!!!!

Bwaii keep it chroo
Seamless riffs, effortless time signature changes, impeccable mixing. A master
master of the off-beat. that ain’t easy. I think only other drummers can really understand just how good this guy is
I'm a drummer from 20 years and I don't think I really understand how good this guy is xD (in a good way)
Hell yeah this really fuccin good
He is amazing…first time hearing him. You said It well, only other drummers can understand. I wish more people could
I'm not a drummer but I understand what he's doing ain't easy, he knows his way around the kit also love the sound of his drums
Us drummers know that he IS the beat
I smile every time I watch this because this is a gift. I've played on and off for 20 years and Mr. Searight is my new drum hero.
Now that was extremely entertaining. You just made me feel like I got no business with drum sticks in my hand. Thank you for that awesome performance.

This man is criminally underviewed and under exposed. I could easily classify him as a top 5 drummer.
Lol

It hits the spot sooooo good
no matter how many times I watch this it never gets old. I'm in love with the backing track and the way he plays, it truly is a sight to behold .....

His drumming is awesome. Sounds purposeful, like it's telling a story.
In a league of his own. Outstanding. Original, musical, those drums sing.
Yup.
Top line there bruv.
Thats a gift.
Thanks for sharing it with us drummer.
Proper
This right here is the difference between MUSICIANSHIP and just beating on some drums!! He sounds like a one man sound track!! AMAZING!!!
+David Rodgers 100% agree. He is not "only" a drummer, but a MUSICIAN.
+György Wágner B. Well said sir!!!!
This dude has produced albums too...his way of thinking is completely different and yes being musical is one of those differences!
Yeah agree

Wow. Sput has a perfect combination of groove AND chops.....top shelf ---- as good as the skins can possibly be played by a human being. My new favorite drummer right now. Phenomenal.
This is even our world. I can just imagine Heaven, how sweet the sounds of drums will shake the praises of the Most High.
Love the kit the style the technique the drummer.JUST SUPERB
This brother never ceases to AMAZE me. The GREATEST at what he does . . . .and my favorite M.D . . . .100

Yes please. Play at next year's. You kill it man. Love your playing too.
Gavin Oswald Who wouldn't?
Very very
I love his play
+Adam Tuminaro I Know! Right?
Only a fool with no rhythm would dislike art like this! Robert Searight makes the drumset soundright :D
1:30 - 4:30 - Absolutely on point! Dynamics are incredible

This right here is like when I get them chills rushing when I hear a amazing vocalist sing .
I'll take musicality over chops anytime. Thanks Sput for a masterclass on what drumming is all about.
tomanocucaralhoporra the best is when drummers use chops in a very musical way
@@loganlakedrums true. Being able to chop doesn have to exclude musicality. Quite the opposite is true to be honest.

This is crazy elite.

He's really professional and skillful. I love watching how he plays with his drums.
He ain't no sport drummer. Every note is a musical one

The first music is so touching. Heavenly sounds. Heavenly play ▶️ . The rest is a top class display of skills. Good one
now there is an unbelievable flow to his drumming i'm not sure people quiet get how elite it is

Quiet people more than loud people maybe
just love the way u build ur groove n the way u r connected to the babies 😍😍😍😍ur a drum freak bruh

Sput has made me reconsider how I set up my drums, just how he maximizes every bit of his kit in this exercise is ridiculous!!!
The Deep Snare sounds triggered. So amazingly tuned!
Jabrond Gamble bruh I was so convinced it was triggered. This is foul lol
So musical, so effortless. Amazing!
Just beautiful. If lyrical drumming is possible, this is it.
Amen to that! Just brilliantly orchestrated and musicianship the drumming should be heard!
For me you are the interresting Drummer ever.You have inspirence.I Look your Videos every Day.Play ever so much.Tomy Austria
If a musician makes you dance, they definitely are worth hearing.
Let me tell you you are really a great, very original out of the box, bravo!

Я думал , что играю плохо ....оказывается я вообще не умею .....))))
Это было шикарно , респект !!!!!!!!

The funk track is "Actual Proof" by Herbie Hancock
Recognized it instantly ✊
Absolutely astonishing! I wish I could shake his hand and hear him in person. If only once.
I wish he would've shown those peeps at guitar center drum off what its like to play without pads
I wish there would be a drummer who didn't have to use it, and win.

Kenji "Bboy Steppz" Maeda
Thanks à lot
He must have sampled it and made his own beat to it
What about the first one
So you mean this is not one song but different tracks and he plays them one after the other??
Love guys who play open handed. It is the best. Been playing 40 years open handed. Changed the whole kit!
His drums sound great👌🏿
良い演奏をありがとうございました
2:15 track is sample from the end of this song: kaan suud sert - bir
still here watching this greatness in 2024
Me too 😂😂
First song ....the name ?
It might have been arranged by sput but I don't know so
Awesome Drumming and very cool fitting beats!
