Nate Morton Drum Cam 39 - Higher Ground
Музыка
I have previously shared that my very first concert experience was seeing Stevie Wonder live at the Municipal Auditorium in Nashville, TN when I was maybe 8 or 9... once upon a time, I even had a cassette bootleg of that show... It's long gone now... but my love for Stevie and his entire catalogue is stronger than ever!
It was my pleasure getting to play this tune with Shawn Sounds... he totally killed it!
Here is where you can view the performance as it appeared on the show!

The most underrated drummer in the whole wide world if you ask me . Just great .The entire package . The groove, the pocket, the showmanship etc. Thank You .
Notice during the verse he played it straight AF to allow the funk to come through with the keys and bass. There are so many players that are like "Yah...I'm really a funk drummer" and then play all sorts of crap everywhere that makes it 100% NOT FUNKY. Great vid!
Knocking it out again...top choice player right boys and girls. Watch, listen, and learn. I sure did. Sending kindest regards to Mr. Morton, all the Voice band and staff. To all of their families as well. Peace, Love, Joy, and all good things!!!!!
Nate you’re tighter than a Duck’s behind! Imagine a Weckl/Coleman/MORTON combo!
Good Lord, Nate!!! You just beat the livin' shit out that kit!!! You play with expert conviction, man. You inspire me!
I have been playing for fifty years my friend and pretty set in my ways as far as my playing anyway.I must admit I steal more and more of your style..Sorry but true love ya bro much respect.
what else is better than watching this on Saturday morning haha so good
Groove on top of groove with a side of groove.
Rock solid! His consistency is freaking amazing.
Love the Half Note triplets on the splash at 0:23.
Beautiful groove, man. It's a pleasure watching you work.
Where have you been all my life!!! 😂😂

I don't know if this is the correct term but I love your off-beat strokes. They fit perfectly and they are tasty.

Nate Morton you’re welcome!!
Instant pocket setter. Tasty grooves.
Solid! Drumming
LOVE your interpretation of this. Well, I love all of your grooves. I feel like everyone has their version of this song, but they always seem to play behind it in a traditional shuffle. I like how you turned it almost into a hard downbeat as opposed to the traditional up that everyone does. Amazing as always!

For those that don't know, it takes a lot of talent to play those licks and stay out of the way of the vocalist. Nate, you are a beast.

Man...your Precision is scary. So accurate, yet with feeling. Do you play the exact same thing every time you play this arrangement in rehearsal? Are your parts charted for you or do you write your own parts?
@NateMortonDrums

I almost NEVER do... I never want to know an arrangement so well that I'm always playing the exact same fill at the exact same place because I always wanna leave room for a "happy accident"... No matter how many times we play an arrangement I always want it to breathe and feel organic... and I don't want to lose the spontanaity. This doesn't work in EVERY situation, but on the Voice, that's what I'm going for because I would NEVER want it to feel like karaoke...
