I love the fact that Vincent came on and played a simple groove and that Steve wasn't dismissive of it and genuinely gave him amazing feedback. Steve is the man! Well done Vincent too.

I'd argue a simple groove is what was warranted! A simple groove even a beginner can play you can REALLLY hear the difference Steve made just by his touch. a true master

Bro got up there and played in front of Steve Jordan ... takes balls man well done

Such a badass. Looking like the High Priest Of Groove here

Finally, a good way of teaching. Instead of a super-gifted drummer playing impossible stuff to an audience that doesn't understand anything of what's going on, he actually makes the guy play better in one minute just by using better dynamics.

mad props to the guy who got up there and played in front of Steve Jordan, that takes courage...also, sometimes playing a little sloppy, as long as it has feel...works. I think he did a great job.

I play with a few wonderfully gifted drummers. I blessed dude!

I wish there was atleast a 30min version of this

His work on the Blues brothers live album was fantstic.. Steve said he thought he overplayed it. Not at all it was perfect. The Blues Brothers were over the top. He was awesome.

You have to be a serious bad ass to get away with wearing sunglasses in a dark room.

Excellent points from Steve on this. It's about bringing your whole self to the song, making the notes really count. It's not about complexity or technique, it's all about the feel.

I saw Steve with the Rolling Stones a few days ago. And man - he carried the whole band on his shoulders. And that's not an easy thing to do. Great Job, Vincent!

love going back and forth between 2:31 and 5:03 , such a night and day difference. Steve gave him great technique tips but he also gave him the confidence you need to play a good groove.

He’s more about “how” than “what” you play and makes me realize that I need to spend more time playing simple things better. Love SJ!

THAT my friends is what a drum clinic is all about!

You know you did good when you made Steve Jordan dance

Jordan must have hung around Wesley Snipes long enough to get that “Blade” outfit!!!

This is one of the best drum clinic I've seen.

yeah Thanks for this one! Blessings and much love to all you drummers out deaaaah!

You can tell that Steve has an incredible ear for music. He knows he's a legend, but he doesn't need to be bombastic or "showy".

Compare 2:30 and 5:01 Way more UMPH and attitude!

Steve Jordan seems like a great approachable down to earth Skilled guy.

Steve Jordan. Cool, creative, stylish in every way but down to earth, willing to help. What a brilliant guy. I wish i could just sit behind the drums with him around and chat about stuff, all those sounds and grooves that he produces so effortlessly while we can only dream of getting just a little closer to.

Steve grooves so freaking hard!! Love him!

He has great timing first. Control.dynamics, knowledge ...he is musically sound, complete as a drummer. And so now he has faith confidence in himself....built day by day dollar by dollar song by song. His confident spirit comes thru the music. Sound is not all the energy produced while playing.

Fantastic how he can pull such a great sound out of the kit

That snare sounds fucking amazing!!!

On one of Booker T. and the MGs records I noted drums were credited to Steve Jordan, I had not heard of him until I heard John Mayer’s Who Do You Think I Was and I really loved the drum working, sounded very vintage and classic, saw the name credited again to Steve Jordan, so I kept watching videos of him by himself or with a band, he knows his sound and his instrument truly he makes a connection with his instrument and audience. Only Steve Jordan could have played for The MG’s after that of the great late Al Jackson because Mr. Jordan embodies the music and through just his playing in the pocket you have to feel something if you have a heart listening to him, same way was with Al Jackson Jr. Both drummers in my list of influential drummers!

still love him!!

How motivating!

love it!!

Does anyone know where to find the complete video of the masterclass?

Jordan's groove is to die for.....damnnnnnnnn

I tried to hide in my chair cringing as that brave soul went up to show what he's got...

to me it has a lot to do with confidence. When Steve plays, you can tell he's 100% confident in what he's doing. And you can tell when a drummer is kind of doubting him/herself while playing

Groove Machine ;)

Steve jordan didn’t even have to talk to prove a point on that drum as soon as he started playing I learned a lot already.

See THIS I can watch... 10seconds of Thomas Lang and I switched off (no offense, just not my thing) just the feel of Stevey J is soooooo damn good.

Guy is the F’n groove master

The dance Test. The Great S Jordan

steve is the fuckin man!

Anybody have any idea what Zildjian hats he using?

HELLO FELLOW DRUMMERS, THIS IS GLEN. I LOVE STEVE JORDON , AND I HAVE A TON OF RESPECT FOR THIS MAN. I WISH THAT WE COULD HAVE SEEN MORE VIDEO FROM THIS MASTER CLASS TECH. BUT I UNDERSTAND. I'M NOT SURE WHAT WAS DISCUSSED WITH VINCENT, [ THE FIRST DRUMMER ]. BUT I WISH STEVE WOULD HAVE COMMENTED ON VINCENT'S TECHNIQUE IN THE FIRST 7 MINUTES. BEING A DRUMMER FOR 45 YRS, A DRUM LINE INSTRUCTOR , AND PLAYING IN MANY TYPES OF BANDS, I LOVE TO HELP OTHERS IN AS MANY WAYS THAT I CAN. I HAVE PLAYED IN MANY CONTEMPORARY PRAISE AND WORSHIP BANDS, AND I HAVE A LOVING HEART TO WANT TO HELP GIVE ADVICE AND OTHER DRUMMING TIPS TO ANY ONE . JUST BY LISTENING, YOU CAN TELL THAT VINCENT ISN'T HOLDING HIS STICKS PROPERLY HERE IN THE VIDEO. THEN AFTER WATCHING HIM, HIS FINGERS ARE NOT IN THEIR CORRECT POSITION. I SAY THIS BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH THE DRUM BEAT WAS SLOW, THERE STILL WASN'T ANY DRIVE TO IT. IF VINCENT HAD ATTEMPTED TO PLAY FASTER WITH ANY DRIVE, HE WOULD HAVE DROPPED HIS STICKS, ESPECIALLY IF VINCENT ATTEMPTED TO PLAY ANY FILLS. IN THIS VIDEO, VINCENT NEEDED TO USE BETTER STICK CONTROL, AND TECHNIQUE. VINCENT CAN STILL PLAY SOFT AND QUIET, BUT WITH BETTER STICK CONTROL. VINCENT STILL PLAYED THE DRUM BEAT SLOW, BUT IT HAD POWER AND DRIVE BEHIND IT , AFTER STEVE SHOWED HIM. I DON'T KNOW, BUT I HOPE STEVE TOLD HIM TO USE BETTER STICK CONTROL., BECAUSE VINCENT'S FINGERS ARE STILL TO FAR APART OM THE STICK, AND HE IS USING HIS ARMS TO MUCH FOR HIS CONTROL, AND HE SHOULD BE USING MORE OF HIS WRISTS. THIS IS BASIC 101 STUFF, AND I WORRY ABOUT SAFETY. BECAUSE, BAD TECHNIQUES WILL LEAD TO POOR HEALTH ISSUES. THIS IS JUST MY OPINIONS GUYS. DON'T BASH ME IF YOU DISAGREE. I AM OPEN FOR OTHER SUGGESTIONS. THANKS, GLEN
