As a drummer I love seeing Pridgen playing jazz fusion in these small clubs! Would love to see this in person! Blessings.

This why TP is my top favorite. So many tasty licks in this song. When he starts turning up, buckle up hahaha!

Everyone on the stage was having fun........ but one....... the 🎷 player.......

Facts bruh looked like he was frustrated 😆 🤣 😂 Thomas a beast

Thomas Pridgen.. The most inspirational drummer of our time. End of story.

best jazz bar in san jose, one of the best drummers in the world

Thanks for uploading. Amazing to go from swing slowly faster and slowly into straight feel

Nice to seem some footage of Thomas just holding it down. I think people forget that he has one hell of a pocket.

Excellent!

Such a great band! So groovy!

Nice playing

4:08 Pridgen showing us all how to play a smooth, nice sounding, soft but powerfull fill on a drum kit.

why is he playing all that hi hat (practice) stuff the BASS solo?????? 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Well Thomas is indeed a overplaying and rushing guy. So i really think those musicians understand how he aproachs music and drums. Also he is not the "pocket tight guy", he is way more experimental on stage, he enjoys taking more risks. Its just his style. The part where it hits badly its the very beggining, he start on the wrong back beat. Also he plays too much notes on the very end of the bass solo. Besides that, I know those musicians are aware of Thomas playing because he is a beast and has background.

Thomas is an incredible drummer , one of the best but Just cause you can play a million miles an hour doesn’t mean it is always warranted. Groove responsibly and not kill the groove.

Am I the only one who thinks that's too much activity on the drums...I don't think it serves the song.

I’ll say this. There are times when he does too much but he’s just having a lot of fun. My main thing is the way he started lmao his 2 & 4 were on 1 & 3 then tiny readjusted to line up with Thomas

Eh - it’s instrumental music in a jazz club. You are kind of there to witness people going for it
