Possibly the best I've ever heard Kendrick play. Took us on a journey with this one.

Yamaha got the right guy to demo the Tour Custom series. Just wow!
I got the 20/10/12/14 kit with the 14x5.5 matching snare in the butterscotch finish about two years ago. Love them just as much now as the day I bought them. Sound amazing, look amazing (especially up close with the wood grains showing through). They really do work with any head combination and any tuning. And the snare is phenomenal!

Truly fantastic, VERY creative drummer.
Love how he's using the dfp9c with his left pedal set back further for a different bass drum effect, brilliant.

[lotsofgreendrums]

Awesome! Such style and conviction. Love the musicality he achieves through a perfect balance of sounds, extended techniques and transparent chops that are functional yet aren’t flashy in the current “instagram drummer” way. Excellent solo, Kendrick!

I saw Kendrick perform with the sf jazz collective this weekend at birdland here in nyc. I swear he left this dimension as he was playing.

[miodragradovic]

This is the way drums should be played. Absolutely

[Ludditeish]

Talk about command of the instrument! Beautiful.

[therealbrentrolland]

Kendrick is a master and a joy to listen to.

[richandglorious]

This might be the best drum and cymbal sound possible! Kendrick is absolutely amazing.

[mjm]

My God, those drums and cymbals sound amazing!!!




The drummer's not too bad either 😉

[Beatsvitrine]

He is reffering to "What Day is it? also written by himself. I think he plays the melody at 1:30. It's so amazing to see a Drummer playing melodies like this, Absolute Mastery!

[theherbiebrown]

I can hear the rise and fall of dynamics. The melodies and motifs. This was both TASTY & NASTY.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[ddrumcorner]

this was amazing ... it's so interesting to hear a master of the instrument ....seemingly improve !! such class, taste, skill, vocab, touch, storytelling... wow

[T.Maximus]

I got a tour custom a couple weeks ago in apple red, its a great kit! 🥁

[lieutenantcolumbo]

Great sounding kit! That bass drum sounds

[panplayer]

I love the sounds. And I absolutely love the playing. tasty!

[bbfoto]

Coming back to listen to this again for the umpteenth time! It's always great to actually see him perform as opossed to just hearing his fantastic playing on the many excellent albums he has graced.

However, I gotta' say, that ALL of those Zildjians (and his fantastic touch/control with them) are at least as much of the sound here as the drums themselves. I can sort out a few of them but would like to have them all specifically identified here as well for confirmation.

The source, we are the drum, bridges not walls. Greatest jazz albums ever recorded.
