I have been playing Electronic drums since 1981. One of the things that I started doing almost from the very beginning was to re-assign sounds to pads where those sounds did not belong. Here I will show you some versatility that electronics have.
This is my favorite Funk beat of all time. I had floundered over getting this beat correct until I finally met with the master of this beat face to face. The story goes that John Blackwell used his rendition of this beat to seal the deal during an audition with Prince and then performed on the Musicology tour with him. Check for John Blackwell at www.drummerworld.com BzB :-)
In response to e-mails and comments I am showing everyone how it is possible to play complicated songs with multiple drums tracks Live, without any sequences. Like the rest of my videos I already know this one is not perfect...Just helping those with inquiring minds...to solve the riddle of "Oh Sheila"
These are clips from the show at Gators Cafe on January 19th, 2007 with the Big Brother Band. I am playing "Life in the Fast Lane" and "Pride and Joy." I have to appologize in advance. I had no helper so there is only one angle on the vid. I wish I could have had more to show you.
Ok..Here I am playing my acustic kit after it has been put up for over 5 months. I am a bit rusty playing on regular drums. There are several clips put together here.

A video montage made from pictures and videos that were taken by students in my classroom all year long. The video covers class events from the very first days of the 2007/2008 School year all the way up to just a few days before school let out.
This The opening song at a gig I did with a band called "SunBurn." The club is the legendary Daquiri Deck on Madeira Beach Florida. The song is "Low" by Cracker.
Every studio drummer must be able to play beats from every musical genre with creative and inventive flavor. This is a jam to a Latin groove with a Bazy twist. BzB :-)
Here I show off some of my latest toys and my little studio room...Then I jam for a bit with a sequence I created on my new Korg Triton Keyboard. Pretty Cool!!! BzB
So here is the rest of the night time session. Not much here...Just workin on a couple of beats...but thought I would invite you all in for a bit...Hope it is enjoyable!!!
Many drummers are asking if they should buy electronic drums while they are still learning drums. Abdo posted a vid response to ask a particular question on this topic and it was time to go on the record. BzB :-)
Just answering some questions that I get frequently in my comments and e-mail. Keep them coming...and stay watching the channel for more vids to come soon.
A lot of you have written in asking me to show more of what the TD20 has to offer. I am not a Jazz Musician Per Se but I found this patch called Jazz Gig and I felt in the mood to explore it. It has cool rim click sounds on the toms and a smooth accompaniment that was beggin to be taken for a spin. So here it is! :-)
I took over the drumline at the school where I teach this year and I have a great bunch of kids to work with. I am so proud of them that I wanted to include them here on my YouTube. I hope everyone enjoys their performance.
This was me (Bazy) Doing what I do...I was actually feeling a little yucky that day but I thought it was about time I recorded some fresh video so no one starts thinking that I am slacking. 09/23/06
