I was born in San Francisco California in the mission district 1955 when I was 9 I walked from San Leandro to Hayward to listen to Carlos Santana playing at a battle of the bands!!

THIS is a Drummer who does SO MUCH with SO LITTLE.. Man sez Size don't matter it's HOW you use it!! Man cemented his Legacy with his Stellar Performance at Woodstock!!

Wish I remembered the exact video here on youtube, but there's an audio-only interview where Buddy talked about his well-known dislike for Rock drumming, but still gave honorable mentions to Bobby Colomby and "that young man who plays with Carlos Santana".

The kit he played at Woodstock is on display at The Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville.

Just imagine hearing the roar of what has to be the worlds largest festival crowd. Had to be inspiring for Mike.

First time I saw the Woodstock movie, I had to find out who the drummer who played the Solo for Santana's set was. Im so glad I did! It's fair to say Micheal is a BIG influence on me!!

What he can do with a kit always leaves me breathless and wanting more.

Good god that hi hat is dancing!? Drumming hardware’s come a long way. Also I love how he utilizes rimshots. I can’t hit my snare without making one.

So grateful for this video - despite his fame with Santana I always felt Michael never truly got the praise he so deserved as a drummer! Love his style, and for those who don’t know his wider work, check out the Go albums he did with Stomu Yamashta. Finally, I think M is the only drummer who could have convincingly taken over Ian Paice’s drum chair in Deep Purple he is so good on the snare🤘🏻

So intense yet so balanced. 🤎🥁

His playing on Bella Coola with that triplet pattern with the accent on the 3, on the upbeat with left hand doubles across the toms is still to this day a struggle for me. Brilliant stuff!

back when the movie woodstock was released, i saw it 4 times- all because of this guy, his sound, and the look on his face during those rolls, near the end. can't find the words to describe it- just blew me away. maybe intensity- for REAL, without showing off. how rare is that?

Very true, but more drums give the possibilty for more 'colour' - Neil Peart (RIP) for example had a huge kit and the colour it added the Rush's music was legendary but wouldn't fit with Santana. Horses for courses.

His absolute best work, bar none, was on the debut Automatic Man album in 76!!! No better drumming from this gentleman!!

you can hear the influence of his "bouncy" percussive hits in his later electronic music ... along with the way he carries energy throughout a set

The best!

10 times the talent of most drum gods who have to have 80 or more drums.

Little known fact. Mickey Hart (Grateful Dead) was Michael's teacher in the mid sixties.

Underrated Drummer

Mind blown!

saw them in bristol england a very very long time ago. a 2-hour perpetual motion machine and highly tasteful with it, unlike most percussion prima donnas of the time. easily the best i've ever seen ;o)

the absolute best drummer

So GOOD!

Awsome, love it

Mejor baterista del orbe

Amazing improvisation! 😍🤩😍🤩

Fabulous drummer..💖..👍..

I agree that there are some Buddy Rich chops in there. In those days, having a minimal kit kind of was limiting the variety and creativity. The after when Shrieve moved to a bigger kit he expanded the chops.

Maravilhoso 👏👏👏
