I've been thinking about Eric's pocket a lot lately. In latin percussion there's this thing called Masacote, which refers to the ghost notes between accents on the conga. In drumming, obviously, there's the same thing - that Clyde Stubblefield ghosted dialogue. I think where a lot of drummers who try to copy Eric err is they want to do the flourishes without getting the pocket - the masacote - together. But it doesn't work without that seductive, propulsive pocket. Just food for thought..
I think he might be the best SOUNDING drummer I've ever heard, but that's preferential.
what a drummer...what a volcano of different brilliant ideas and inspirations.
Marvelous. That's not simple drumming, that's composing.
that hi hat could cut a diamond
It just can't get better than this.
The technique, the fills, the groove and the smoothness.
One of a kind and a living legend.
what a freedom of expression this man possesses...
Being a rock drummer myself, I have to say Jazz drummers are simply amazing
for me it was the opposite. this guy really inspired me to practice for hours every day. Listening to good drummers should be a motivation! Of course we won't probably never be as good as Eric but when you practice every day, in a few years you will be better than you ever imagined :D
I actually set aside my drums; stacked them up and put them in the corner to gather dust. I gave up drums because they were becoming too expensive to keep. I'm only 17 and get money here and there so keep that in mind. But then I saw your video, right here, this exact one. And it made me realize how powerful the drums are. Thank you, this video actually made me pick up the drums again. Thanks. Great, great drumming on here. :)
You Jesus'd that kit. It is forever changed. Thank you.
3:48 glad to know even Harland hits the screw instead of the bell sometimes :)
hahahah :D
blapis89 BUT..... Because it's Eric Harland we're going to presume that this was premeditated and used as a musical interjection- not a mistake. 😉
Yeah He often play it well
3:40-3:44 every fucking time it seriously never gets old
One od the best drum impro ever. Hypnotic musicality. So good.
4 years later and I still have to listen to this masterpiece! Your awesome Harland!
it is so great to see an all out shred still being an integral part of a song, and a really good one at that.
Blown away!! Such a gift Eric has!! Thanks for putting this work out Eric, its truly inspirational.
You have one of the lightest touches that I have heard on the drums. Very musical. Awesome technique as well
One of the best sounding kits I have heard.
Brilliant :-)
He inspires me to try to be myself on the drums.
So much music in just this tune, love his playing!
I love this song, it reminds me of walking around Princeton, N.J. (Just the Rhodes sound does) The drumming is fantastic! Thank you for posting these videos, my playing would be lost without them.
uuuh love that tune! i realy enjoy to see how you feel what you are playing, it's amazing! Thanks for that!
Pure talent, a joy to watch.
Enchanted! just close your eyes, enjoy and let the drumming take you away! Shared to my FB wall .
It's hard to do this justice in a comment.
This is the kind of cerebral playing that every jazz drummer strives for.
Best drumming video on RUclips.
I love it , the music provided a great foundation to showcase his wonderful technique.
What a blessing
The musicality and dynamics are so perfect. What an incredible artist. One of the best younger drummers in jazz.
Crazy amazing! And so effortless!
Amazing!! I love the feathering of the bass drum
Sooooo smooth, beautiful work!!!
Love the sound of the drums!
Thanks sharing... jazz drums.. rhythm.. majik.. gotta groovy sound and good technique.
Nice effects and smooth, silky flow into jazz piece. Excellent..
really organic feel to the whlole piece...a pleasure!!!
Every once in a while a real musician like Mr. Harland comes along. Absolutely superb! Thank you!
OMG ERIC YOUR A FREAKING BEAST MAN, you never seemd to amaze me with your independence. WOW I would love to study under your great knowledge and wisdom on the drums. You make me that much better and make me the drummer I am today. Love you Bruh
Nice, very nice...loved the heavenly vibe.
The vibe- you own it.
What a beautiful place in space you live.... I love it all.
Fantastic. Really enjoyed that.
the song is wonderful, but the way you play your drums is incredible: you use your skill for pure art, it's like a poem
some thing that i really dig about jazz is that it teaches you how to be a Musician, not just a player of a given instrument
oh so nice the start. love it!!
this is why i always come back to jazz.
Love this playing! Eric rules!
just wow... u definitely deserve the name "jazzheaven"! so good!!!
Incredible talent here !
he has the most fluid drum set up, everything is placed to ring and reverberate etherial yet ephemeral. lovely warm shimmers that don't overtone too long.
I think he's the greatest drummer alive. Saw him w/ Christian McBride last summer and still recall how blown away by his showmanship and abilities
Really enjoyable bro. Love your kit...rivets, cowskin etc. Thanks for sharing.
Nicely done. I really like the choice in music. Your cross-sticking is impressive.
BEAUTIFUL tune, man...(man I love that classic Rhodes sound so much...)
man....blown away! love it!
maravilhoso, um dos grandes da nossa era!
beautiful playing
Wow, super chill. I'm so diggin this.
I always love metal drumming but with this i realized how much jazz drumming the best is :D
Stunning, and inspiring...
Yes yes! World class man, this is delicious. What a genius idea too, having a second snare with the wires off instead of rack tom.
Great technique, it's very cool!
Beautiful!
Absolutely magnificent!..,very clean touch!.
Luv it! Musical, expressive creativity in a format that encourages further exploration. This is really evolved playing. Very inspiring video. We need more of this type of playing on the musical scene today. Of course, I've always been a jazz fan anyway. Few drummers today have these capabilities or are even interested in finding their own distinctive sound. Guys like this are leading the way by rising above what's "popular" (i.e. mediocre) and taking the instrument to another level. Bravo!
Wow. I'm rendered speechless..Great job man!
5.02 gets me every time!
Chops man beautiful sounding drum kit and cymbals, great facility, great work,.Eric.
Just finished watching a documentary on Monk. Is this odd? Sounds fantastically splendid !!!
Metal guys watch. I love Tomas Haake, but this complexity and chops, while playing swinging, syncopated triplets in odd times, while adding Cuban stuff, is just freaky great. Eric is a young monster respected by jazz legends.
Incredible playing. Thanks for sending this to me!
you are talented and you do have great ability.
Very good.
Thanks for sending!
Thank you. What an amazing sound!
Thanks very much for sending me this.
Eric is ridiculously good! Makes me want to go drum now!
* * * * * SUPERB. The Intro is so Holdsworth-like.
Love this guy!!
beautiful playing!
genius,soulful,drummer also he can do composation on drum,amazing!!!
Amazing. Great playing.
As a deathmetal drummer, I'm amazed at this guys control, and over all feel. He really gets into his work, and plays some beautiful music
Simplemente impresionante, hermoso, de los mejores bateristas que he escuchado!
All I can say is WOW! The minimal size of his kit proves more does not mean better. What a sound. Being an old crooked stick drummer, it's amazing to see the straight stick technique provide this kind of sound. Wow!
… awesome - it is the perfect example of sooooo nice playing drums mr. harland ;))
My goodness! This Is smooth! I would love to watch you in person.
everything sounds perfect on that set :o
legendary chops
damn great !! Eric Harland for president! ( this is one of my favorite youTube's video)
First of all, what a GREAT composition! The drumming part is anyway just a w e s o m e!
Amazing! Lovely beat =)
Thanks for sharing! Nicely done! You play so effortlessly. :-)
Thanks for messaging this to me. This guy is great!
ok ive been watching this video for at least 9 months now. It amazes me every time. 3:25 that nice tasty groove and stank face. then at 5:25 you can just tell he's saying listen to this goodness
This is almost a divine revelation on drums to me, but why does he not listen to the wide open spaces of the tunes he plays along? This peace of drumming drives the water of luck into my eyes!
Still.....and once more...thank you Eric !!!
Very nice Sir!
Thanks!
Just... awsome!!
Nice, enjoyed very much.
great.. really like it
@TheHereticsValues I know, I absolutely love them! I have to locate a pair that sounds like that... beautiful!
Great drummer!
Excellent!
Siiiick!
MAN, Mr. Harland, that was tasty! Really love your efficiency of motion. Thanks for sending me this!
"Play along..." yeah, right, haha!!
Awesome, Sir.
