I am a musician, and love to play... But, just having the privilege to watch and listen to composition at this level, is why I love music so much. Am I the only one that gets joyfully emotional when observing this kind of musical genius at work?! I mean... I can't be... This is just that good...
Sean Michael you can thank spudd for that
The phrase that synth player starts his solo on is magnificent.
Jeff dBass that’s Nicholas for you he also play for Cory Henry and the funk apostles as the backup keyboardist
@@elijahevans3645 Yup, Nicholas Semrad. Dude's a total badass
Buttery and slippery 👌
Yes he was killing!!! Now I want a Profet
Nick straight sick...
This needs to be an album!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Ahsan Rogers you ain’t neva lied
Just listen to swagism and you'll be close
2:16 I’m crying
That girl is over there playing the tambourine with such conviction, but it’s muted in the mix
John Bensinger bol she’s there 2:35 u can hear it better🤣🤣
That's Elise Testone. An Amazing singer. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elise_Testone
that brief groove between 5:45 and 5:49 is THE TRUUUUTH
Was looking to see who else heard it :). Super tasty
So tight... I just don't understand how these young drummers become so good so fast...
An awesome work ethic combined with talent and passion
Love it when drummers hit a clap with the snare, makes it extra funky.
i need this sample!!
in my opinion, this right up there with the greatest drum solos ever. Such a creative kit set up, yet extremely well used in a musically relevant way.
it still gives me goosebumps
YOOOOOOO THAT WAS BEYOND BANANAS!!! I don't know how many times i skipped back to rewatch the solo. It took me like 45 min to watch an 8 min video all the way thru.
then i rewatched it.
MY DUDE!!!!! RIDICULOUS! He's always been amazing, but now it's on another level. That solo was just incredible. UFF!!
I have watched this video so many times. So. Many. Times. And I never can’t cheese super hard thru the whole thing.
I love his attack. Hits me all over the stomach hearing his unique, punchy style!
Here a year and a half later and can I just say that Cory Henry's solo from Lingus has touched almost every fusion/funk-esque synth solo since it was released?
Stephen Utterback the keyboard player is in Cory’s band.
@@ocbfdog fair, but does that make me any less right??
@@stephenutterback5704 people don’t think it be like it is but it do.
A
Fuck me, that was insane!!! I was just thinking how I am bored of all the music that I usually listen to, then I stumble across this. Love for music restored!!!
That synth solo! My gosh 😩
dude on the bongos hanging right with Dev for sure!!!
Wow oh wow. You always amaze me with your growth man. Keep going higher!
This dude is smashing it!! He is from another planet!!!!
The greatest orchestra of contemporary music.
Oh my goodness, really!!! Real musicians just KILLING it!!!! Thank you!!!
Absolutely amazing..
Can't stop myself from watching this performance since been uploaded !
Shout out for people in this program. People that create these experiences. WOW MAN! Thank you so much!
that was smashing... groove was always well in hand. and the key solo had so many great licks... he must have studied his C.Corea. fantastic.
Incredible! Drums, Keyboard WoW
Got to give it up to the BAND!!!!!!And Devon OUTSTANDING
wow..... just wow !
dont sleep on the percussion player during the solo lol !
Yeah he had to keep the rythmic
Percussion player killing it!
Gsos, A lot precision in his sound playing!!!! 6:10 killed!
Amazing @vicfirth!!!
Sooooooooooooooo much energy in the room from everyone, even the spectators! They were gooving, smiling, and loosing their shit when Devon put on that clinic
Between CJ Thompson , Stixxx Taylor , Chopz Wright & Chris Kee!!!! Boy oh boy!! Gotta get my weight up! 😎
2:21 those hits are soooo clean!!!
These arrangements are absolutely insane!!!
The percussion is spectacular!!!
GUUUUYS I LOVE THIS!!!!!! THANKS VERY MUCH ROBERT AND ELMO!! YOU ARE AMAZING
waoooo the complicity of harmony at the time of the chorus
These joints are so dope . And the production is on point 🤙🏾🤙🏾
Who ever is the hater & that put the dislike thumbs down button on this video...you need to get a life! Devon is smashing!🥁🎶🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Curtis Calloway him and the rest of the band are smashing!
Curtis Calloway dam right the boy is paying dues
I wish u guys can get larnell lewis..hes a master at this type of setting..but absolutely well done devon i never regret following u as a drummer!
he plays Promark ..........
Andreas Breitwieser thats why i said.iwish.
Just watch the Snarky Puppy vids lol
I hope so too
You probably already know, but he's on Zildjian Live which is kinda the same as this
YES!!! Great video!! Zona da Batera in the house hahaha, Brazil loves you guys!
top o react man!
i think this was amazing, and seeing nate smith playing with those musicians would be magic
Drums and classics air jordan one, what a drummer!!!
This dude killed!!!
My god , Devon is killin.
This heals my soul
WHAT THE HELL happened from 06:10 onwards?!! Devon Taylor definitely is not from Earth. Definitely one of my biggest inspirations!!
Damian Kamineth I don't really know why but I don't like the way he plays.. Have you some songs from him you could recommend for me to discover him ?
While listening to that section, I realized I couldn't keep time on a regular quarter note pulse nor 8th notes, so I figured it out by counting in 16th notes, it amazed me to find out it is 5 bars of 5/16th plus 1 bar of 7/16th, so at the end you got 32/16th total, which can be simplified in 2 bars of 4/4, but the permutation of the accents is what makes it sound that crazy, Devon's monstrous time keeping while soloing blew me away even more after I figured that whole section, f***ing BEAST!
Wow! Total bad ass.
I dont understand what i just witnessed. Madness
Recognized agaaaiiin! 😎👉🏽 DT one of my top 5 favorite drummers
Love it, one pedal😁 ...tasty fills and grooves...
Great things out there
RUclips should make people who dislike videos leave a reason why they dislike the content. I see thumbs down on every video I watch no matter how good it is. Devin is smashing!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
