This man just paradiddly daddled his way into my heart

[editbyStar]

The sound of the cymbals shines as much as his head

[Imaddrums]

This has to be one of the most musical solo's ive ever heard, Chris is a madman!

[AChadWardenProduction]

I have yet to see a Meinl sponsored player that doesn’t put out tasty playing.

[swangonzalez]

There was always this Bruce lee Vibe with Chris. The way he stripped down his grooves, kept the essentials of the musical motiff happening and discarded the fancy embelishments. You often see him doing an 8th note feel on the hats . Simple but driving. I mean that's why his music is always catchy. The greatest songs often have simple melodies. But when he gets to his solos he just unleashes his chops and whacks em drums and cymbals like he was fighting with an army of invisible attackers. Every strike becomes an expression of emotion. There is a musical violence to his playing. Grace with Power. Brute elegance. He doesn't think ...he feels. His hands and feet just hit by themselves. Without warning. And suddenly you find yourself in awe. Lost in all that heavenly glory.

Chris' playing always puts a smile on my face. So much energy and passion when he plays. One of my favourite drummers.

[nekow]

He’s quickly become my favorite drummer. Its always a joy watching and hearing him play. Mr. Coleman if you see this, I love you!

[mightymrmousempls]

I swear he gets better every time he makes something new. This one was particularly tasty as Chris was showing off his brilliant arrangement, excellence in metric modulation as well as ostinato technique, and of course trademark lightning-fast single strokes in wide, sweeping fills. Stunning.

@3:21 - Someone offscreen signaled "Keep going Chris, you haven't showed of that new signature series ride enough yet!"

“Remember children, speed kills. But not if you’re Chris Coleman.”

[garyjohnson]

The Joy of the Lord exudes from you bro! Love and Miss you my brother! So proud of you! Michigan peeps showin’ up and showin’ out!

[marianobarone]

This is getting as latin as a non-latin can get. This guy makes me move, dance, laugh and cry of emotion all at the same time. His performance in July 2017, shows how great this man is. The way he ended the show is so inspiring he should be thanked every time we watch it! Thanks for your art and essence!

[richardpenner]

Wow! Chris and I both use the same drum heads and we both play Meinl Byzance cymbals! All similarities end abruptly there.

[aarondillon]

I know this is meinl’s channel, but is nobody else gonna comment on how sick those drums sounded as well!? I LOVED the sound of those toms! The floor toms especially!

[Tateisadrummachine]

Chris has the most infectious positive energy, what a drummer.

[bmh]

Absolute monster but keeps it engaging and humorous - gotta love it

[besubtle]

I just absolutely love the fun that Chris has while playing

[jasonroberts]

Chris Coleman is an insane drummer, snare sounds tight and the cymbals are sweet, love it

[FusionHowie]

Chris Coleman is the Alan Holdsworth of drums! Thank you for the musical vaccination! Peace from Detroit MI.

[SpnWithMe]

I always love Chris Coleman's smile while he plays.... Pure passion and joy!
