If you love Nikki, don't forget to check out Sean Wright's video we released on vfJAMS! It's amazing to see how these two incredible artists approach tunes that kind of have similar feels. kzread.info/dash/bejne/h36Ip8Gio7bPlNo.html

Drew trotter I'm assuming the arrangement was composed the way it was too showcase ghost note because of how hype the band played and more like the lead instead of the drummer as compared to the other drummers they've had play already and my theory behind that is Nikki is a strong powerful pocket player and because of her style that aloud the band to cut up and shine more and I think that was the whole point on this particular arrangement!!! Your right she did a great job and held that pocket down strong but gave us just a little taste of her solo abilities. I totally agree with your statement bro✌

My thoughts exactly. I realized wasn't paying attention exclusively to the drums, then realized that's because she's playing super musically

When the audience is room full of world-class drummers they all clap perfectly on time.

That Asian sax player was so into it especially when they went into it a 3rd time ! Love it

The drumming is of course, fantastic. What I would like to know though, is how the heck is Sput writing so many incredible tracks so quickly?

Now I do mainly light show's where I can eather drive to or take an Uber or Lyft to with a extra tag along to help me with my equipment as far as taking my equipment to local venues and lighty abroad I've always setup and take down my own equipment they just help me with unloading and loading and watching the equipment when I'm not around it in churches venues aditorioms festivals inside and outside

Horn section trying to raise James Brown from the dead. He would have had tears in his eyes while dancing!

All of these songs on these videos are amazing! But Mono has absolutely murdered every bass line! Would love to play with a bassist like that!

These live in studio sessions are so much more enjoyable to watch than traditional events.

Am inlove with how she plays and that she lets other musicians to shine as well

She made everybody happy that very day even all the sax 🎷 player play with a smile behind their instruments 🎺

Wow she pushes the band like there is no tomorrow! I love it!

The world needs more of this. It makes souls fly high.

I must have watched this like 10 times already!!! Nikki killed it!!! 🙌🏾

This was so CLEAN!!! And POWERFUL. Love it!!!!!

Some heavy funk right here wow!!! Nikki destroys it!!! Loving this series!

We don't deserve any of this hahaha. Nikki with that solid solid pocket, great way to show the capabilities of the cymbals! Can't wait for the next three!

This video shows the essence of true drumming, maintaining the groove and the pocket.... 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

i love the way she play the drums! So groovy and know when to take the "spotlight" and give the "spotlight" to others! The saxophone player looks like really enjoy play the music too

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I love it all. The band was grovin!!! Nikki stayed in the pocket and kicked the band along.

I’m getting a “OutKast” vibe from this I absolutely love it!!! Outstanding job Nikki💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💯

This is probably one of if not my FAVORITE one yet

those 1/4 notes from the horns is heaven....mono neon guy is so cool as well...drummer has great pocket..band is amazing

I could listen to that, aaaaall damned day! Absolutely amazing. I need this song!!!

Shes so locked in with the bass its insane! It reminds me of an electronic drum kit where you can program the bass line to play with every kick hit. Shout out to the baritone bass player too!

Good LAWD!!! Pocket for DAYS, and so tasteful. Mad respect!

I will never be near as hood as this on a set, but I always find myself rewinding parts of songs. This is my first time hearing this performance. Rewinded parts 10 times before I had even let it play one full time. She is cold!!

To see drumming executed to this level is amazing. There is a place for chops and there is a place for great fills. This was so greatly done like it should be done. A clean pocket with fills that don’t take away from the band as a whole and then when they let you loose then you go nuts. I loved every minute of this PERIOD!!!!!!

There's something to be said about watching artist making music and taking such observable pleasure in doing so.

I always come back to watch Nikki from 6:30 - 7:15 just to charge my battery. Makes me smile every time. She's a Beast!

The celebration of all these fantastic drummers and other musicians is exactly what makes this community so damn special. I love the love here. Play on eternally!

That rock so hard just amazing zildjian is the best

Robert Sputt on Keyboard !...? What !! Sounds so shiny and classy ... ! Classy Nikki !!

I was NOT ready for Nikki's energy this early in the day!

So funky fresh!!!! That good god like made me get up tho!!! She hits hard 🔥🔥🔥🎶🎶🎶 🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾

She did more in 30 seconds than I ever will. Tastefully executes drum solo almost brought me to tears.

You know you got talent when Robert Sput is on the keyboard and hands you the drums

One of my favorite things about this series after watching numerous times, are the cutaways to the “audience”. When I watch for the first time I’m of course wowed by the performance. But then you notice the “audience” are made up of so many BADASSMFRS!!! enjoying themselves and feeling the energy in the room! LOVE THIS!!! From members of Snarky Puppy to Ghost Note and so many more. Pulse raised! Blood pressure lowered! If that’s even possible. Haha! Music is Medicine!!!!

What a tasteful groove...makes people wanna dance ||👏👏👏👏|.......

Amazing pocket Mrs glaspie they say nobody does it better than a woman amazing drummer Mrs glaspie pearl the best reason why I play drums 💪🥁

Love the guy in the background at 2:06. man's really feeling the music here

Stupid amount of funk in THIS one. Best sax solos Id ever heard! The alto sax player (Jonathan Mones) definitely giving me a Michael Brecker sound! Nikki straight grooved and jammed.. GEEZ Zildjian...yall on FIYA!

Feel good funky music this was awesome!!

I just watched the sickest, low down dirty stinky kick ass groove I’ve ever heard. The level everyone is playing at is stunning. The video work was on point!

These sessions are fire.

Mannnn, this band's so much fun to watch. And the guest drummers are all amazing🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

That sax line sent shivers down my spine and got my face like "Oohhhhh!!!". 😁 It's hard to not dance to this man, especially I am in a barbershop right now. 😁 But it also bought a tear to my eye, because it has been such a while since I last seen musicians just dancing, having fun and interracting with one another. 😊 This is the MUSIC I know. EVERYONE DANCES.
