Michael Miner did ya get Live N’ Bernin?

This is the drummer for the film Whiplash! I’m so happy he’s finally been credited! I could right away when I heard this and the give away was the use of double bass in the film even though it had a single pedal. He uses one in his own stuff so that’s amazing! I feel complete!

@@bg357wg The credited drummer under “Varèse Sarabande” record label for whiplash’s soundtrack is Bernie Dresel. Miles Teller did drum, but he drummed over a pre-recorded track, the track you hear in the film. And he’s about 1/10th the drummer of Bernie, but the editing sold it that he played well, that’s why they won the Oscar for best editing.

hell yesssssssssssssss finally bernie getting some recognition in the drum world

I got the opportunity to see Bernie play in person when I was 14 at the chandler gilbert community college auditorium, I’ve never had a more edge of my seat experience when it comes to music! Phenomenal player you are Mr. Dresel!!

The closer I pay attention the better it gets! Bernie plays GREAT!!

Unbelievably musical player. What a legend.

How could I've been missing on such a virtuous drummer until now. I'm simply amazed.

He’s terrific! So are the rest of the musicians!

Bernie,the first time I ever seen you play was with Brian Sester.I said to my self this guy is incredible. Well sir you out did yourself again.What a pleasure to see you at it again.Thanks for showing us how it's done. Magnificent.!!!

holy shit what did i just witness?? amazing drummer, refreshing jazz style and darn smoky chops. and this lead trumpet is banging out some nice high notes as well, damn.

I saw Bernie in 2006 with the Brian Setzer Orchestra, and he was the best drummer I’ve ever seen! He was on fire that night!

As a drummer and a USAF veteran, this rocked me to my soul!

His dynamics and articulation though, always on point.

Astoundingly beautiful!

He's such a passionate player it's so nice to see

Bernie Dresel is an incredible and powerful drummer. It´s just to see him playing with the Brian Setzer Big Band to realize his amazing technique, skill, good taste on drums. Plus, he´s really a good guy and very funny too.

Definitely doing paradiddles or paraparadiddles with his feet. Never heard of this guy: awesome stage presence, really interesting technique and energy. Great band in general (super tight brass!). Thanks as always for posting this and exposing people to some of the hidden jewels out there!

He was playing drums with The Brian Setzer Orchestra.

High energy performance all around- band is so tight! I would like to know who the soloists are: especially enjoyed the tenor sax solo- Bernie is rockin’ it true to form! He needs a glasses strap endorsement so they stop falling down his face!

Convinced that he is the drummer on the Whiplash soundtrack. The end of this solo sounds just like the Caravan finale.

Jesus - and I thought I tilted my snare away. That's some serious tilting right there. On a more serious note though, the drumming is phenomenal.

Bernie you are a total badass!! i love your drumming!!

Mind blowing love love love

fantastic playing!

Cool! I love those horns! Pretty arrangements and it looks like he's having fun when playing with another section or supporting a soloist. I need to find some heavy dark ride cymbals...

+vicfirthdrumsticks *Dresel uses an old-school configuration for the four-piece Craviotto® kit* this vid, with the snare cocked consistently with military side drums and the high tom also at considerable tilt - actually standard practice during the 1930's, when the large swing band was first needed for big ballrooms. My own Tama®/Hoshino® six-piece (IMB 22E; IMT 08A, 10A, 12A; IMF 14A, 16A; IMS 145) is also set with a military cock to the snare, albeit with Evans®/D'Addario® EC2S tom and HD snare batters to endure Vic Firth® Corpsmaster® snare/quad sticks - the SRHN Ralph Hardimon model was my previous go-to and as of 22 November 2017 I'm testing out the SRC Roger Carter model.

Great playing all around! Bernie's a great drummer but that snare tilt is giving me vertigo!

Drum solo was heavily inspired by buddy rich....

Βernie is my drum God for many years for the work he has done with G. Goodwin. He really drives the band here. And these guys can play. I didn't quite understand why he did the whole Buddy Rich licks on his solo but also through out this performance. Is it a tribute to Buddy concert?or is he trying to {poorly} copy Buddy.?
