I could listen to a whole album of just Blade playing...anyone else? Probably the most lyrical, sensitive drummer alive.

[jesseolsson]

YouTube recommendations finally gets it right!

This man knows the tonal possibilities of every inch of that drumset and knows how to use them. Just amazing

[charlesfarran]

I love the way Brian Blade smiles when he plays, like a kid a kid in a toy shop. Reminds me why I play.

I don't know of a better drummer in jazz than Brian Blade. And this is not only about the perfection of every smallest detail in his music, but also about his shining inner state during performance, which he so brilliantly conveys to every listener.

[dunmorul]

Every Brian Blade video is a gold mine.

When you look up "drummer" in the dictionary, you should see a picture of Brain Blade. He is everything you should want and need in a drummer.

[damiankamineth]

One of the musical drummers I've And so creative too

[jas_bataille]

Brian is the only drummer who can get other musicians to keep time during a solo. He can do whatever he wants, and it works. His silence commands time as much as his playing.
I can only aspire to this level... one day! :)

[mikeybrewer]

drummer and bass player lookin like they’re telling each other some sort of crazy secrets thru their instruments

[theillestdrummer]

That playing is not from earth, just galactic

[tatesherman]

Best drummer in the world, Elvin, Tony, then came Brian.

[martattacks]

Saw Blade in the nineties with Josh Redman. Never heard any drummer since that "spoke to me" more than he did and does to this day.

[glenhorn]

Awesome distinguished drummer! Don’t lose him!! God bless.

[homelessballoon]

I saw Brian Blade with Wayne Shorter a few years ago in Oslo Konserthus, and his drum playing was just amazing. Brian Blade`s performance had everything, like elegance, beauty, power, dynamics and a lot of humour.

[mikeanscombe]

Amid all the video clips of endless people with Olympian chops flailing around in various 'fusion music' settings, some lovely, swinging uncompromised, contemporary improvisation. Brian Blade's playing is exquisite...

[esongsore]

My favorite drummer. Insanely underrated. 💕❤️💕

[glenhorn]

Blessed anointed band. God richly bless you fine musicians

[don]

Love Brian's playing. So rich. So good for the music.
