There is nothing cooler than watching @bernardprettypurdie narrate his own groove 🔥🔥🔥

Billy Kilson is KILLIN 🔪🔥🧨 @kilson.billy | @drumfluence for more 🎶🥁

Papa Was A Rolling Stone will never be the same! He’s so energetic over this vamp, displaying tons of musicality and metric modulation. Pure wizardry! 🧙‍♂️ Billy is known as a drummer of the highest caliber; known as such for his revelational improvisation and timing, and an undeniable stage presence reminiscent of the great jazz drummers before him. 👌


Billy has shared the stage with greatslike Donald Byrd, Ahmad Jamal, Dianne Reeves, George Duke, Chris Botti, Mike Mineari, Freddie Jackson, Bob James and many more. What a career he’s had! Not to mention one of his biggest mentors was Alan Dawson while studying at Berklee, which he now teaches at, inspiring a new generation of drummers.

🕊️ RIP JAMES GADSON 🕊️

Rest in peace to a true architect of pocket.

The rhythmic genius of Horacio “El Negro” Hernández 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I don’t know how @elnegrodrumsofficial keeps this level of intensity, clarity, and feel at this tempo… but it’s unreal. His left foot is basically its own musician. 🏆

I first found Horacio “El Negro” Hernández on a @camilomichel CD I picked up in an old record shop around 2005. Triángulo. That album changed everything for me. Then the @modern_drummer DVD came along and I was gone. From there, he became one of the drummers who shaped how I hear time, melody, and movement.

Through him I discovered Anthony Jackson, John Patitucci, Los Hombres Calientes, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Roy Hargrove… a whole world of music that rewired my ear for good. ❤️

🕊️ RIP JELLYBEAN 🕊️

Jellybean Johnson’s groove was electric. He held down the drums for The Time and worked with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Janet, and so many other iconic artists. That Minneapolis sound helped shape my musical identity growing up. Rest in rhythm, Jellybean. #JellybeanJohnson

James Gadson has that GROOVE that makes you wanna MOVE! 🏆 #JamesGadson

Harvey Mason is still smooth as butter! 🧈 #HarveyMason
