I love this guy. I think he's one of the best teachers out there of all the well-known drummers.

This VIDEO IS AWESOME.... NOT ONLY is Rod Morgenstein a GREAT DRUMMER.. his explanations and demonstrations of the notation is FLAWLESS.... I am psyched i landed on this CLIP.

I was really into the stuff he did with Winger. You could tell he was, the engine in the band. Very tasteful drumming with lots of passion.

This is the dude I have to thank for improving my technique for the double bass which goes way back to 1984's "The Introduction" by the Steve Morse Band. Track 1 "Cruise Missile" is what did it for me! Thanks Rodster!

I met Rod in 1977 , playing with the dregs , the whole band came to my house to party after a gig in Jacksonville Alabama, My Brothers Bar , real nice guy .

Very nice perspective, and very nice video. As an 'old' drummer, I have long since lost my chops and this really explains a lot, clearly and precisely to remind my self. I was never a die hard Morgenstein fan, but he is a great drummer and a even better teacher form the looks of it. I will view the rest of these video's. Nice work.

As someone who spent a good 6 years of my life working with stuff out of the Morgenstein book... I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see the master do those damn split tom/snare flams and how uncomfortable it looks for even him to play. haha

Thanks Rod for sharing! I have learn a lot of your videos! you are a great teacher!

Great simple ideas; not meaning easy. The variations are endless; thanks Rod for sharing!

great lesson Rod....

This guy really knows what he's talking about, he's one of the greatest, no doubt about it!

Damn I remember seeing this guy in black and white picture on a VHS tape like 40 years ago. Good for him. I hope I can be around that long.

@GPz84 i agreed this guy is like the scientist of drums, he can create and do anything on the drum set that just makes you go ok my mind together with my limbs cannot do that combination.

Excellent!!

Rod Morgenstein=highly underated

What a f#ckin snare!! Sounds awsome!

his work with The Dregs speaks for itself

Awesome regardless of the RECORDING all Natural Loud n Proud lol 🤘👽

Did it for me as well yocuzz100. That and "Hot For Teacher" and many Billy Cobham tunes got me playing double bass and making them groove and cruise...

Good stuff

Looks like a similar paint job as Michael Shrieve's Premier Resonator kit from the 90's.

I owned a resonates kit he played on. Loud drums!

Awesome content, however I would love to hear this in a quality sound studio.

Cool!

I wonder what his instrument or major was in music? at the University of Miami?

LOL 4:30 Wax on, wax off. :P

I don't think so my friend. It's his pant brushed against the leather stool. You can hear it again at 3:52.

He has a really interesting double stroke technique

the book of rod:drums set warm up

I like to play drums but hate to teach..

flams and para dids become less pronounced as speed increases -that's physics for ya.

It's called practice. Laziness is not an excuse and physics don't determine the decibels out of each stroke. You can get those accents to be clear as day. Your ghost notes may sound abit like a buzz roll but it's certainly possible to get a great pataflafla or swiss army triplet at a fast bpm.

Not for Tony Williams....

I'm not so sure about that because I was giving a lesson once and the student asked "did you just fart"? (teen-agers; ya gotta love em). And I didn't. I had shifted in the seat and the seat squeeked which is what I think happned here but can't be sure. I only know in my own experience it wasn't me so if I eve run into Mergenstien I will ask him :)

VERY OBSERVANT...still...sick

He's such an awesome drummer, but he did not show a lot of his technique on Winger, that would have been perfect

Winger 1, that's when I first learned of 'odd-timing' and it blew my mind.

4:04

not when you get a gig with another band.

the video is great, but the drums sounds horrible. MOONGLE would be very usefull in this case :)

lefties are the BEST! :)

No wonder I quit. Too Much time chasing babes and not practicing my basics that I learned in grade school. I've met Rod and he's even nicer than he is a great drummer which seems impossible.

No budget for decent mics? What did they use a portable recorder for the whole video? ridiculous..

Sorry guy, but the sound of your kit is awful
