That fucking drum solo introduction!!!

[@SebbyPlaysMusic]

All of it!

[@thedescent666]

His father was my high school music teacher?!?! WHAT THE FUCK?!

[@Lavagemstomacal]

This drummer is pure gold

[@punchmehard]

Who in the FUCK gave this a thumbs down?!?!

[@LeftHandRimshots]

RIGHT BRO!!!!!!!

[@darenterr2802]

?!?!?!?!?!?!

[@johns7612]

Some Justin Bieber fans that ended up on this video by mistake

[@darenterr2802]

hahahahahahha...

[@brendanhcarroll]

+John S unfair... but true. they don't understand 7/8

[@rellekkanperspective7508]

Man i love Kamasi Washington, dudes such a kind charismatic guy, but fuck i lost it when he first started introductions... "Rono' Bonjinayyyh ohn druun"

[@brendanhcarroll]

it's crazy that kamasi can use all his licks in 7/8. i gained new respect.

[@depauleable]

He "fakes" it sometimes by playing them in 8/8 and rushing slightly. Don't mean to discredit his solos in any way, but I've been analyzing the shit out of his improvs ever since the epic hit. What a virtuoso!

[@EugeneSkeef230650]

Seven is the most cosmic of time signatures. This is the most beautiful and inventive I've heard/seen it expressed - total freedom within the flowing structure...

[@brendanhcarroll]

yeah it somehow grooves when it shouldn't. i love the seven over for stuff they do.

[@itsBiboyeo]

Eugene Skeef check out Robert glaspers Beatrice. Love that 7 tune.

[@florianwolf9380]

Phenomenal drummer, and Kamasi on his way to be the next John Coltrane - or just be himself. Wonderful music, a storm of fresh air on the scene !

[@Grgtehe173]

Ronald Bruner Jr. is incredible! Brilliant intro!

[@itemps]

I like how he introduces the band names twice. Every show where I dont knw the band and cant hear the members when they announce it annoys me. Thank you kamasi!

[@bidiHumbidi]

heaven sent dude on the drums delivers the ultimate in musicality I have ever witnessed

[@stankatsion6286]

I might be a rude barbarian, but the guy is the definition of overplaying for me. The solo was somewhat between 'meh' and 'are you done already?'

[@kobeconomon3528]

Drum solo at the top😮😮😮🔥

[@stilodrom]

THE BEST MUSIC ON THIS PLANET AT THIS PRESENT TIME,
AMEN!

[@Riddlemewalker]

Making jazz fun and jubilant. Thanks!

[@andycookin]

Seven beyond Heaven. Seven Flames of Riddim unleashed like Shiva's drum. Fire me up! Thank you for the inspiration, oh so much!

[@shankaravarma118]

[@zenadyetejewelry]

Fantastic!!!

[@1955drv]

[@giovanniprofeta3699]

[@noelhutz]

damn thats skill right there!!

[@waynechapman9029]

VERY VERY GOOD MR. WASHINGTON VERY GOOD

[@benj637]

hell yes kamasi

[@peterguitarhowitt268]

To start the show with a drum solo is very original.

[@auroradarienzo]

[@asqa1337]

lmao did he just blast beat at 1:17 trve kvlt

[@depauleable]

Ya'know they call it BLACK metal

[@dabilogan]

so cold

[@coleemmersonhallman5329]

The Bruner brothers are God's gift

[@another_china]

Fffffffffffffffire!

[@NathanLevMusic]

The drummers looked like robots, my god!

[@KILLAGORILLA7000]

You should have heard the drum-off they did in Bristol the other night man..

[@ruudbergamin4361]

Back to the seventies??

[@Bolewsky]

Hate when U cant hear another drumset pfffff Great tune thou

[@swimswamajam3336]

Honestly dont even know why he was there. This drummer was all they needed.

[@mcknih1020]

One,Three,Five,Seven ,Nine ,1111

[@elsamariasorforger5788]

will they come to europe

[@joe-bro_11]

+Elsa Maria Sorforger Yeah pretty sure they're in Europe in July

[@ericmyrs]

Yes, just saw them in Oslo

[@Maffulfish]

12:42 "Imma put my foot up in this bitch"

[@elsamariasorforger5788]

whats the name of the drummer?

[@joe-bro_11]

+Elsa Maria Sorforger Ronald Bruner plays the intro

[@SleepFan771]

That's Thundercat's brother, right?

[@funkyfillbeats]

yup his older brother

[@torontobud8902]

@@SleepFan771 Dude, that family is fuckin insane. Dad played with gladys night, diana ross, the temptations. Jameel used to play keyboard on the internet. Thundercat plays a pretty dirty fuckin bass, especially considering the size he plays. And Ronald, a grammy nominated drummer, playing frequently with Kamasi. Fuckin' wew

[@Leviplaysdrums]

Drum porn of the highest degree

[@paolotavi362]

How it is possible that a magnificent musician like Kamasi can share the stage with such bad singer?
I apologise for my harsh comment but I think that there is an ocean between the two of them.

[@lxrmusic7339]

She's usually great

[@makesense9927]

you have to hear her live

[@mattgordon9179]

Sometimes the drummer needs to chill the fuck out.....tooo much testosterone......I hope he doesn't make love to his partner like that......lol

[@DrewRobinsonShikamaruHyuga]

Why kind of drum sticks is this cat using?

[@gregc7699]

the drummers ruining it he needs to slow the fuck down and realise sometimes less is more he's good but to much to over powering

[@AquaAnim]

Greg C Didnt ruin it for me. Im sure considering all the people he plays with, he is just fine. Most people expect the drums to just sit in the back unheard.

[@allancarlosoliveiradrums]

Fuck you !!! The drummer know what he is doing !
