It’s this performance right here that made me a huge fan of Trilok Gurtu! His unorthodox playing and percussion/Trap setup is amazing! Trilok is a true master of the art of drumming! Certified genius!

Gurtu is a one-man orchestra. He's the full package. Someone who's able to make actual music out of percussion. He says his main roots come from India and Africa, which is unquestionable but I'd say his style is universal. Way beyond any label.

Simple Genius! Gurtu will be my drum/percussion hero.

I was there and spoke with Trilok, helped him load in too.Lovely person.

$*((!(2938*#=283292!!!! My sweet lord, Trilok Gurtu grooves in the spaces that most drummers forget to leave open. He is a force of nature, and he flows just like water.

He has a modified bass drum pedal under the bottom of a custom conga/floor tom. You can see it at 5:00, just above the bottom right corner. He was in Seattle on the Bad Habits tour, in 95, and I was fortunate to be at the front of the stage, just feet from him for the entire set. A true master, and a genuinely nice fellow. I wish he would visit the states more often.

Trilok Gurtu is one of the most famous indian percussionists on the world.

This guy is seriously connected to the DEEP roots...

this the best ! go gurtu go, one of the most influential percussionists. trilok gurtu making magic...

I could list the most game changing players of all time in my palms and Trilok is one. He is THE EAST MEETS WEST the fusion and the unorthodoxial approach to kit playing. The palm is where the feel begins the stick is a mere extension. I wish I would of been a percussionist before approaching the kit

Sooo groovie and Oriental at the same moment, amazing drummer🔥

Awesome Trilok ! fantastic melodies

Wonderful!! No words for this

Absolutely loved that, the guys a genius, just love the sound of his kit too,his so called bass drum is massive - respect

Have one of his old drumsticks sitting in my media room. Beautiful playing and beautiful memento.

He is definitely one of the best I have ever heard. I saw him live in a small club in the nineties on his Crazy Saints tour, and he floored the audience on that night. I like his performances with McLaughlin the most out of his performances.

His sense of rhythm and melody is amazing. There are very few drummers who can actually make music. Gurtu is a one man band.

only very few drummers lol

Gurtu! Play on brother!!

unbeatable..master of percussion...that too in time signature of 3 1/2

I love how his "kick" drums are actually a few de-tuned Toms that he hits with the sticks. Wouldn't it be great to see him playing with a metal band? Hitting the double kicks with his hands? That would be cool.

He prays when he plays

watched this guy live in Istanbul. He is too good to belive, makes you wonder if something is fake.

This is sick !!! man, it`s amazing !!! :P

trilok in full effect! impressive!

Legend

Mind blown!!!!!

Trilok started it all in the mid seventies he civilized the ear of a drummer one of the greatest perhaps the greatest feel drummer. A true composer of the random walk theory. Weckl and Gadd has borrowed so much from Trilok its unreal.

Thank you yanke385

It's not scatting, it's konnakol counting and phrasing. It's an Indian thing.

Mother f*ck me batman, that was awesome!!!! Would watch his clip on a Zildjian promo VHS tape that was narrated by Jonathan Mover with a bunch of other Vinnie, Dennis, Calhoun, Keith LeBlanc clips, but this one always fascinated and killed me. After like close to 30 years later when i was a sophomore in hs and got said promo tape with my first 8" A Splash I have finally seen the whole performance! Wish i had seen it earlier but I'll take it!!! So funky, so fusiony, so F*cking rediculously awesome! Trilok has always been something else!!! We need more of him!!!!

You're a GOD!\m/\m/

AWSOME

brilliant!!!

impresionanteeeee!!!!!!

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

It is a 12" drum head in a board on his right side, currently he has been actually using a kick but believe it or not there is no kick here in this video or on this set. Take a look if you can see it here there are no bottom heads either and the shell is about an inch deep on the toms or whatever you want to call these things.

Wish the audio be more in sync.

daaaaaaaamn

groove on !!

This zildijan day 1993 not 1995 I have the vhs and the DVD

That was super natural

God

93, this was.

I would have loved to see him with Pat Metheny. They they ever play together?

Does somebody know the name of the two drums on the left of the set??
