The soul of Jamiroquai

Backbone of Jamiroquai!!

Derrick’s hi-hat work has always been a defining factor in his playing-style as he once said himself. He tries to make them “sing” and it’s very apparent when you listen to him. What I love about Derrick is his humility. He is not arrogant like other drummers. A perfect example is the ending of this video: he clearly made a mistake and did not end the song properly. But he laughed it off and I’m sure some of us did, too. Keep up the awesome work, Derrick! You are the heartbeat of Jamiroquai.

I can't see the mistake

If this is not groove itself, then I don't know what could be it. This makes you want to dance even if you are the most introvert person

ive never ever seen such tight drumming in my life and your high hats....its genius....always been my fav drummer , dont ever stop drumming ....

SO fucking true. He IS the shit.

Better than the album version.

Ridiculous how good this drumming is.makes the hsirs on my neck tingle watching this!

Great drummer and he seems like a great dude.

I remember how young they all looked in the liner notes of Travelling Without Moving back in ‘96, and that was Album 3 already.

He's just got great rhythm, seems so effortless

He is a machine, incredible

Fantastic drummer and the nicest person too. Great track this!

I'm so thankful to all Jamiroquai members for sharing an educational content and not being too commercialized in this area. The real masters and my idols of groove, harmony, and good taste!

Derrick the real perfection and king of hi-hat! That's super!

No one hits the high hat like Mr. McKenzie

Solid disco funk

Fantastic Drummer!!!

Big-up Derrick. I guess all that drumming practice as a kid in Tottenham was worth it. So proud of you bro. Your first band....some candy stuff..lol.

Difficile de ne pas bouger le pied et la tête... What a drumming it is ! An awesome groove.

One of the best drummers in the industry.

Damn. RIP Derrick 🙏🙏🙏 Was looking forward to seeing y’all on the new tour. Glad I caught you in SF. There’s Never Gonna Be Another Like You 💯

uh what you mean "rip"???

SO GOOD!!!

Real smooth... thanks for posting Rubix

This is Jonathan sugarfoot mofett precision…. Amazing. Consistency is world class. I’m sure if you zoomed in on the hihat every air would have had the exact same volume and tone. 2:18. Also good to hear him do big fills every now and then

Love this so much

Amazing!

Wonderful Mr. Mckenzie!!! Thanks.

fitofunkiss it's a great track.

sound basic, but the magic is in the hihat strokes/snare drum patterns/variations - well thought-off tiny things, that bring live to jamiroquai songs

I just A/B'd this with Alessandra Scaravilli's bass cover. When I ran both videos at the same time it was awesome 🙂🙂 Sick playin' both.

We need to appreciate this! Soon, all beats will be AI generated and there will be no one with these skills behind the drums. Our sons and daughters will look at this and ask what is he doing, why didn't he used a computer... Chapeau to Derrick!!

Rockin to those funkiated grooves.... moving us along & the gold cymbol of joy into it's frame held. Firstly to borrow a drumstick and smash it. Secondly play it out to parts like a gong stick changeover to a chau or at the end with it all played out ..hittin it right with super rhythmic flow...bullseye stick from me lol. XX

Dear Derrick, once you want to have some rest or buisy, let me jump in as your backup drummer. I'm left handed too and love every hit and groove you put to record and live. It's what it needs to produce this unique great groovy music. My depest respect!

Machine

I like percussion.

Tremendo batero

I lowkey hate watching Derrick playing because he is left handed and it hurts my brain watching it all mirrored. 🤣

Brilliant

Bad filming.
