Surely he is drumming in another place....
Fripp in the corner looks like a cyborg that's been turned off during the drum solo, seriously, he doesn't move at all. Solo's over, someone switch him back on.

I suspect Fripp might be a cyborg. Oh, & not to split hairs, but this is Crimson, so I suppose some exactitude is forgivable. This can't technically be called a solo...

I agree he's a good drummer but still far from Bruford
King Crimson have always had incredible drummers. Michael Giles was amazing, so was Bruford, and of course the genius we know as Gavin Harrison. Crimson has stayed classy all this time - what a great legacy they will leave behind.

just shows why these 3 play with Crimson. It takes a very special technical drummer to play all the polyrhythms and unusual time signatures in their music. They played several times as a 6 piece. 2 drums, (Pat and Bill) 2 guitares and 2 bases.

Philip Hodkinson You might appreciate this Robert Fripp story. My good friend did computer graphics for the movie "Titanic". He was at the wrap party. As in all my friend's stories, "There was a pretty girl". She came over to talk to him. She was unnerved. She said she had just met a man she pointed out. My friend told her he was a famous rock guitarist, Robert Fripp. She said he had come over to talk to her. Fripp repeated word for word, both sides of a 3 minute conversation he had watched her have from across the room. She said he freaked her out, and she quickkly ended the conversation and found my friend to talk to. Brilliance wasted on the pretty girl and/or Fripp didn't have much game.
I can't stop watching this. Two weeks from tonight. I can not wait!

More and more I am loving the new KC lineup. I was lukewarm about 2001 - 2003, even tho that's when I finally saw them live. But this combo with the drummers, Jacko, Levin and Mel Collins is really growing on me.
Nice. No showing off. Just makin' it WORK. Great to see three drummers who get what drumming is really all about. THE MUSIC!

King Crimson is like a Fine Wine, they get Better with age!!!! I saw them in 1982 and last year, Fripp is not about Commercialism, Only Quality & Member Equality...And then Some!!!
Merveilleux! c'est de l’énergie pure. Pati
Oh HELL yes! Can not WAIT to see this live. Already got my tix. And the Bari sax tells me they may play some things we haven't heard in four decades. And I could (make that most likely) be off base, but I've got a sneaking suspicion there might be a surprise guest or two, depending on the locale. That aside, this is going to be absolutely crushing!
I checked this out because I liked the song Bloom by Radiohead so then I searched for "3 drummers" Great stuff! I heard of King Crimson years ago but never checked them out now I will.For some reason now I feel multiple drummers is great and I want more.
Awesome!!!
Wow! Fripp moved at 01:55... and started grooving at 03:15. Pretty cool! I look forward to hearing what the band sounds like. Best wishes to all of you guys!

Like many of you fans, I've been hearing about the R. Fripp excentricities for years. Honestly, is it that important?? The guy has his specific ways of working and being. So, what of it? If he didn't exist then none of us would have this music. I own about 30 KC and solo artist CDs. MY musicalal interests would have been much less nourished had it not been for what he did. The gosip may be interesting but is it nourishing? I am grateful for what has been traded-his hard work for my money and appreciation.

351cleavland - I agree with your outlook, and also with Jörmungandr: Mr. Fripp seems far less eccentric to me than he apparently does to others… I’m even related to people more eccentric-seeming! He may be a little exacting, but again: I’ve worked with many artists, across a few media, and in many capacities over the years, and Mr. Fripp’s particularities seem far less pronounced - from what I hear of them - than the particularities of many less talented and less successful artists! He strikes me as good-natured, reflective, and generous - with a very silly sense of humor! He’s toured with musicians by bus most of his life, he certainly understands how to get along. So thanks to both of you for speaking up!! 🙂

As great as Bruford was (is!), anyone who thinks he could do what these three are capable of collectively should think again. Look back to the Thrak era when there were two drummers. I believe RF called it "double band". One of those drummers was Pat Mastelotto, the other...Bill Bruford. The combination on stage was magical. Bruford all wrists and subtlety and Mastelotto all shoulders and mayhem. Outstanding then and it will undoubtedly be even better when I see them in November. Long live King Crimson.

I'm sure it's a real face-melter, though! Keep up the good work! Prog on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guys I know Bill Bruford was excellent, but its cheeky to suggest that it takes three people to play what he did, this is just a composition after all. Gavin Harrison is absolutely monstrous on drums.

Precision, precision!

For all those of you who dare to make fun of Mr. Fripp, realize he's the boss watching his employees perform a section that they composed themselves and rehearsed a year in advance and he is observing (with his particular "eye") their progress. This video is a filmed rehearsal before they began the tour. Mr. Fripp is a recording machine who sits still and analyzes everything; perfecting, finding glitches, updating - maybe "cyborg-ish", but his musicality and technique do not deserve any criticism whatsoever. He is to be emulated for his approach and work ethic. That is why he is Robert Fripp and you are not. Flame away, I don't care.
