Bob Gatzen Tribute - Video Testimonials
On Thursday, May 16, 2024 we held a special event to honor the life and legacy of Bob Gatzen. Bob owned and operated the renowned drum shop Creative Music from 1972 to 2002. An innovator, designer and inventor who was instrumental in developing products for the likes of Noble & Cooley, Zildjian, Evans, RegalTip, ProMark, Tough Traveler/Drumslinger, DW and Drumframe, Bob's influence reached far and wide. These video testimonials were part of that memorial event, demonstrating the everlasting effect that Bob had on so many.
I worked at Creative Music from 1989 until the store's closing in 2002, and my time there, and all the amazing experiences I had, will forever be a part of me. I am eternally grateful to have had that incredibly unique experience.

The Grand Republic Fife and Drum Corps - Lexington Muster - 2023
Переглядів 632Рік тому
The Grand Republic is, in my opinion, one of the finer musical ensembles representing today's fife and drum corps movement. Led in part by the exquisite drumming of Scott Mitchell, they are keeping the tradition alive with grace, style and outstanding musicianship. Per their website: "The Grand Republic Fife and Drum Corps recreates the sounds of the 1890's by marrying the legacy of the music p...

All of these performances are improvisational in nature, and therefore intimately and inevi...

It always amazes me how long it took people to figure out that having toms sitting this high is not a good idea
My friend from NJ marched with Rob Carson snare line, Tom Brown who marched with BSGK.
Match grip!! Love it.
Had the pleasure of studying with him in a micro practice room at Music City.
Thanx for posting,Jeff.....Great job with all this..............Ralph Onofrio
Hey Geoff, Great job putting this together. Bob was a positive influence in so many people's lives. Thanks!
A lot of great videos! Very happy to see Joann get her dues too. What a great team, Bob and Joann.
Indeed, they were. Always together, always as one. And I'm quite sure they would be thrilled with your contribution here. Thank you again, Chris! 🙏
Objectively incredible.
Time-stamps to each segment in the description!
Zero G legacy there
Always great I remember competing against them Bridgemen brass 80’s
for goodness sake fix the tracking on this video!
hands
Even I learned something from this video and I marched Drum Corps for a very long time!
Sean would have loved that! I grew up playing fife in Menotomy. He was an amazing human, and I miss seeing him around.
P.S., from Scotland.
I can't help but wonder how a fife 7 drum band like the Black Skull would go down at an event such as this.
Sharp unit.🥁🇺🇸
Any one know if Rob has an email?
It's great playing, but why do these guys use such horrible sounding drums? You might as well play on a tabletop...
When he does the super speed roll a 1:33, wow. Having known Jeff since the 90s. I still love this solo.
Great playing and great video!
Rob freakin rocks!!
What kinda sticks are those? They look like they don’t a have a bead
That was the DC-10 "Rob Carson model" from ProMark. They were available in hickory, oak, and for a brief time "ebony" (which you can see @2:20). Indeed, they had no "tip" but rather a tapered end. They were shorter than most sticks, and the original model had what I considered to be a really great balance and feel. ProMark still offers a DC-10 but it's much fatter and stubbier than the original, and doesn't really compare. They used to also offer it with a nylon "tip" but it was more of a nylon plug on the end of the stick to maintain the same overall shape and design. Trivia: The 27th Lancers used the nylon-tip version in of the DC-10 in 1984 (maybe other years, too?) for what was their best drumline ever. ua-cam.com/video/7XEWU8r3rAw/v-deo.html
Cool
데니스챔버스!!! 👍🏽
Hi,well, who was first? I learn so much from Roger Carter videos...Blue Cheese videos,Fundamental Friday,etc. Its hard to believe Mr. Carter is not first. 😮 🥁
Jeff Queen won 1st place that year. I recorded his performance as well. 😉 ua-cam.com/video/6pQEL1NAeGs/v-deo.html
A little late for the party regarding liking and commenting on this video - but then I was there then watching the performance live! Great job Jim and all - nice to hear it all again.
Thanks for checking it out! It was quite a weekend. I really enjoyed the entire event.
Another great show by Grand Republic Fife & Drum. Love this corps.
Why are the quads so big

A great live - on the street - recording of a great fife and drum corps. Excellent job!
Awesome, I love it❤.

I have the same exact marching snre
6th place?!?!! WTF?!?!?
444th Like! 💚💚🥁🥁💚💚🥁🥁
He was my instructor at Musician's Institute in 2004. One of the most amazing human beings on the planet.
Great Scott! 💚🥁💚🥁
✋ P R O M O S M
I remember watching my drum instructor go up against Rob in State I&E 1971. I saw 4 players a BD Sr D&B snare who's name I forgot, My instructor Terry Shalberg but before him was some guy from Royalaires who I think was Scott Johnson. I was supposed to play 3 camps but I never got registered and was only 9 so I didn't do a solo.
Excellent!
@0:33 "Town Green/Village Quickstep" @2:50 "Sunflower Slow Drag" @5:56 "Liza's Cajun Frog Legs" @10:26 "Yankee Doodle/Newport"
It's A Wonderful Life
Great job Jim, Don, and Geoff.
I am stoked I found this! I went to school with Rob in Santa Clara. What an incurably talented drummer! Absolutely amazing!
I would definitely be on the front row if I lived in the area. Absolutely love this style of drumming. Thanks for sharing. Looks like everyone has a lot of fun at these gatherings.
Yeah man, it was a blast. It was my first time attending a USARD convention, and I'm already looking forward to next year!
Thank you! Yes, if we weren't having fun, it woujldn't be worth doing. - Jim Clark
Wonderful!
Beautiful drumming! Sean would be smiling!!!
Thank you VERY much, Jerry!
What a fun time! 😄
Brilliant! 👏
