Years of hard work, playing paradidles, boring scales, and dedication to their respective instruments reflected in the musical mastery witnessed here. Most of us sounded wack at one time, this sort of proficiency must be painstakingly earned.
Prince did not create this drum groove..he wrote this tune using the stock drum pattern that came in the Linn drum machine..the groove was programmed by David Garibaldi from Tower of Power..and this cat has got it PRETTY good..good drummer..but as usual..the hi hat pattern he plays (as most drummers who try to play it)..is not the same as the program..but A+ for effort
Whoa! I honestly expected this to suck because most people that try and tackle this classic can't come close to getting it right. You guys killed it! Special shout out to the bassist for rocking that shit! Damn!
This dude is like an acrobat. Despite the fact that this dude is wearing the mid and high range acoustics out completely he never loses the pocket with that bottom. He is stomp down with that shit. You can see the dents in them cymbals. He’s gonna need some more soon. Shout out to the whole band, they’re all on point. One of the best covers of this jam I’ve heard.
Wow! Wow! McBride, you nailed it. As a side note, Prince played live hihats and cymbals over the programed Linn LM-1 beat for the actual recording. And here you are playing all of it.
Is it me but it sounds the drummer gained more confidence as the song went on. My dawg making that electric guitar talk. The bass is grooving. The cat on the keys is money. This great guys. I commented before but I didnt give the appropriate comment. Its better than what I first thought.
Such a bad ass song grew up listening to this because my brother is 57 now 51 With only suburban boys to listen to this stuff at the TiME But we originally grew up in Detroit before we moved to the suburbs so we had a little Soul in us
This is one of my favourite videos on RUclips! I love this track deeply and is one of Prince's best tracks. It's so freakin' funky and can't stay still as I listen to this.
Awww man, might not get anything done now, cause I've already watched this like 3 times already. Can't just turn it off. Got to fade it out. No disrespect to all of you melody and melodic musicians. Love you too. But dis here! This my S***!! Ya'll done struck a nerve. Been feeling this kind of stuff since 1955. yep.
This was the first jam I bought for my new system when I moved to Va. in the early 80s. To hear it and SEE it now, and have the vocals actually translated by guitar (incredible) and to FINALLY see a drummer do it right and tight! The drummer is beast-mode! All Dawgs go to heaven, baby!! Kudos and 10s!!
Daaaaamn, Chris!!!! You absolutely obliterated those drums!! Taiki was a tsunami on bass!! (see what I did there) Sean, you're a maniac on guitar; the feds might be looking for you!!😁 And Jamelle held it all down!! You're ALL guilty of EXCELLENCE!! ❤❤❤❤❤😊
The fact that this particular beat was programmed by the Linn Drum Machine and Jellybean Johnson from The Time can and did play this same beat live is amazing! Kudos to these guys and awesome job on your performance!🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾😎
Omg. What a sick fuckin jam!!! Love it. I love when virtuosity, groove, and pure creativity can come together like this!! It doesn't happen everyday. These guys make it look effortless and I suppose for them it most likely was at that particular time but I can assure you, they did not start out that way. Practice. Day in and day out. This is one of the rewards. Drummer is straight off the fuckin chain!!!
Solid Job Very pro style You can tell these guys are seasonrd vets and know what they doing . Very impressive jam session and cover of a very difficult music arrangement. Epic shit guys !
Christian McBride & band rocked this! Shouts to them hitting the combinations then going off doing their own thing jamming. Props to The Time & Prince.
Buddy playing the hell out of that bass line!!!
for real!
You ain't lying!
@2:29 when he brought the bass back in?! That isht was MEAN!!!
There is now NO hell in that bass line...
He got that Bass on Full Blaze.....Locked In!
The drummer is a straight BEAST
You took the words right outta my mouth.
!00% Facts OMG!
No he isn’t; he did too much - he was close but not like Jellybean at all.
@@taharqa332thats just what drummers do we’re all different and put our own twist on covers
The fact that a human is able to play drums like that proves there is a God.
In an orderly fashion!
Nice Comment
@Bill Perri *God
I've only seen Jellybean play this live
@@avace917 *Lil John Roberts* and the Chronicle can rock this too, John's powerful on percusssion.
You guys nailed it ALL: The drums, the bass and guitar. Prince would be proud!
Years of hard work, playing paradidles, boring scales, and dedication to their respective instruments reflected in the musical mastery witnessed here. Most of us sounded wack at one time, this sort of proficiency must be painstakingly earned.
The fact that one dude in his early 20’s did this in ‘81 or ‘82 makes me wonder…Just how badass was Prince?
@@ND-9lol. Pretty fuckin badass!!!
Very well said!
Great Point...I Agree.
Yes! That's some old school Minneapolis stuff there! Love it!
YUP. THAT'S IT. YOU'RE ON IT.
Just came here from your video! Gotta agree, this may be the absolute funkiest song of all time.
Yeeeee
I’ve seen a lot of drummers try to imitate what Prince did with this song this is the best I’ve seen so far
Jroc
@@7Logik J-ROD All day.
Prince made the drums with a drum machine.
Check our J rod drums on RUclips. He's better.
Prince did not create this drum groove..he wrote this tune using the stock drum pattern that came in the Linn drum machine..the groove was programmed by David Garibaldi from Tower of Power..and this cat has got it PRETTY good..good drummer..but as usual..the hi hat pattern he plays (as most drummers who try to play it)..is not the same as the program..but A+ for effort

Yall Killed it !! The Guitar Vocals !!! what!!!! Prince looking down like well daaam!!
This dude is like an acrobat. Despite the fact that this dude is wearing the mid and high range acoustics out completely he never loses the pocket with that bottom. He is stomp down with that shit. You can see the dents in them cymbals. He’s gonna need some more soon. Shout out to the whole band, they’re all on point. One of the best covers of this jam I’ve heard.
wowwww ! Chris nailed the groove
The band straight killed this Prince tune
Who ever at Soultone mixed this.... GOOD JOB !
Indeed...Yeah Prince wrote the hits for The Time.....Yes Indeed......!
Prince would be proud.
I did not expect that! Man, that was really done well! I want to say more, but I'm at a loss for words. Fantastic job, fellas!
I don't know what I was expecting, but I am blown the fuck away. Each instrumentalist are incredibly strong players. Just wow
Oh my Dayhummmm!!!! That's F-U-N-K-Y!!!! And I KNOW funky when I hear it. Great job guys
The song was written by Prince and performed by The Time...The Minneapolis Sound....and you dudes nailed it! This is FIRE!
Actually, Prince did everything, except for lead vocals (and the drums were a Linn preset made by Tower of Power´s drummer)
Wow! Wow! McBride, you nailed it. As a side note, Prince played live hihats and cymbals over the programed Linn LM-1 beat for the actual recording. And here you are playing all of it.
No he didn't!
@@ashantifarmer5246 yes he literally did. His side drummer even fucking confirmed it
@@CameronKujo Morris Day played the hi hat parts.
No the snare and bass drum was live, the hi hats were programmed and added
This gives me goosebumps...I mean they are locked in on this groove.
Best cover of this song I've seen so far. Big ups to the drummer!! Bass killin it!!
In forty years of listening to this song, I have never heard a better cover of it. Color me impressed.
Those drums though! My favorite jam by The Time
Is it me but it sounds the drummer gained more confidence as the song went on. My dawg making that electric guitar talk. The bass is grooving. The cat on the keys is money. This great guys. I commented before but I didnt give the appropriate comment. Its better than what I first thought.
I agree. It’s expected though. This drum beat is not easy for humans to play. It’s a drum machine. Once he felt it, he got in pocket
I absolutely love this rendition!! The keys were outstanding, and the drum solo was fire!! The base kept it all together. Great job, guys!!❤😊
AMAZING! And that drummer's a killa!
Sick drumming 🔥
I am expecting this group of musians to come out with a studio album soon. I am an old school musian and hear you!
Prince would have the drummer in his band if he was still alive... that dude is killing it
High Possibility that every man in this Band is a Son of God....only they can jam like this.....myyyyyy Goodness 🥂
This is definitely on point.....Great job fellas
Good job fellas. The best attempt I have heard so far. You are talented. It takes a special to play this song and get it right. Good job!!!!
Such a bad ass song grew up listening to this because my brother is 57 now 51
