This is the episode I never knew I wanted until I saw it. I have utmost respect for the Cirque du Soleil and I was always impressed by the band(s) performance. But I never tried to "Google" how it actually works for the Cirque musicians. It's quite intense. Hats off to Eden, true professional right there. And thank you Drumeo for all this great content.

@pedrobernardo5887 5 місяців тому

I had no idea these gigs even existed... what a cool job.

@pelagic6 5 місяців тому

Awesome! I went to a Cirque show years ago in Miami, Didi Negron was the drummer.... she absolutely crushed it!! Ya'll should have her on the show.

@stanfordkoch1271 5 місяців тому

I dont know how many drummers they use but i have seen them with a dutch drummer Emile Cleuver on drums, daughter of a teacher of mine back then

@TheDevnul 5 місяців тому

My first Cirque show was Saltimbanco. The band was visible. The last show I saw was with Didi Negron and like you, I thought she crushed it. The platform she was on was rolled out twice during the performance. I was kind of sad that the band was not displayed. For me it took away from the whole experience.

@GreatCircle360 5 місяців тому

Solo was approaching Palmer-like precision. Eden is a very present individual. Thanks to all involved!

As a Fellow Circus drummer this was Awesome! Drumeo drummer for a Circus was such an awesome fun gig!

This is so awesome! I love that you guys are promoting drummers in different fields besides bands and session. I hope this inspires other budding professional drummers to think outside the box.

Showband gig on cruise ships is a great way to accumulate professional experience and routine in reading charts and playing various styles of music. I just finished a 7 month contract on a ship and will start a 6 month contract in February, planning to audition for Cirque in the future.

@dbert1024 5 місяців тому

One of my favorite drumming videos is of a guy (I can’t remember his name) drumming for Barnum & Bailey. It blows my mind that they use live performers, but also something so simple as a circus or an acrobatics show still needs technically proficient performers to make the music come alive.

@mikkovaltonen3564 4 місяці тому

The guy is Chaz Chambers and is phenomenal. So many moving parts in the music and the sheer amount of it. He had a drum book but he seemed to have most of the stuff memorized.

@donatorufo5095 5 днів тому

Saw Cirque Du Soleil way back sometime between 1996-1998 & the music is what struck me! With all respect to the acrobatic performers. The drumming was bloody unreal as were the guitars etc. The band was stunningly unbelievable and underappreciated in my opinion - at least back then. Well done Drumeo for having this guy on. Your's Sincerely, a frustrated non-drummer but a hobbyist guitar player.

Wonderful! My present gig is in a form I never dreamed, but in the faintest details. Cirkus Pandemonium is a much smaller operation, but the music gives me a workout through any and all genres and percussion to assist fire dancers where I can chop all I want. In many ways it's better than anything I ever dreamed up from my ego.

That may have been the most interesting one of these I've seen yet! Makes me mad that I missed the performance when it came to my town! Couldn't afford the tickets at the time :( A very talented drummer! Precise and present. As a performer myself (not only stage but also working haunts and other costume-necessary positions) this was really fun to watch!

I’ve been to live shows before and absolutely loved the musical accompaniment as the musicians were highly skilled which makes alot of sense because of how skilled the acrobats are!!I used to play La Nuba(sorry I’m sure I misspelled that)for my daughter when she was very young g and it would calm her down when she cried or was upset!!Just a wonderful culture this production has built,I’m a big fan of this!!!

Hi drumeo! Great episode! If you would stop interumping Eden all the time and stop giggling and repeating the same jokes, it would even be an incredible episode!

@mikosoft 5 місяців тому

When he first did the playthrough I'm like, yeah, okay, nice parts, then he explained and demonstrated with the calls and I was like sitting here my jaw on the floor the first minute or so. Then I started looking at when they are calling the cues and I understood even before Eden explained it's on the landings (it was obvious once I looked for it). But man it must take a lot of mental energy to concentrate on the calls and always play the right part and especially think outside of 4/4 since it's pretty much 1/4 all the time.

Over thanksgiving weekend in Las Vegas, i see one of the main girls in the cirque solei at bellagio . I generally get to see her perform for free and i asked her about the drums etc and She got me an early entry . They actually perform all music live every show and I got to see the drums , its an electric Roland . I got to see the her show from the musicians box and it was so cool to see. I always thought that it was a recording to save money but no, no expense is sacrificed. I’m a very blessed guy to have a thing with her due to I’ve learned so much on how it works. Was surprised that she makes 200k and well deserved lol. Those musicians don’t make what she makes but that seems like such a unique fun job. I told her that if we get married she has to get me a drum gig with cirque hahahaha

A few years ago, I had the privilege to see the Amaluna show from Cirque du Soleil in San Francisco sitting with the musical director. What an experience that was. A truly multicultural group, all female band that just kicked ass.

@Joe.M 4 місяці тому

This brought back a lot of memories. I played with Circus America. Didn't work with a click. All of the cues in our show were visual..." hand signals" or called out by the director. No inears. For me, I had to watch the performers and the director. It got to a point that he and I developed telepathy. Fun times! Great memories!

@iswm Місяць тому

Frank Zappa would direct his band this way as well. Hand signals for everything.

There’s a certain level a pro drummer like him achieves as far as timing and playing in the pocket even above the best of the metal/funk/jazz players. He played perfectly in time and still managed to add some fínese.

THIS IS WHAT WE WANT TO SEE!!! Great video. Very motivating to see someone who works and lives drums in such a unique way and really humble drummer. Please keep doing these in place of those cringe "Ive nvr heard this popular song but lets see what happens" videos. 2 hrs x3 night with live music director, dynamic music sheet and a line of dudes ready to take your job the moment you get sick. Insane skill.

I saw a performance when I was like 12 (dragged off by mom and sister) and I was absolutely fucking drooling the entire time the music, lights, HIGH FLYING stunts, story telling, and overall energy of the performance was stupefying! 10/10 recommend for any ages the performers are all elite level and imo some of the best at what they do, I'm willing to bet even the jugglers have some kind of juggling license or something.

@lexnite22 5 місяців тому

I've been fascinated and curious as to how a drummer from another country comes to live and survive in another city. Do they buy new (2nd hand) drumkit while working say in service job or skill they had in their own country, that's transferable to a new country? Or do they already have a music job already setup once they come to the country? Like just the initial setup of just establishing yourself and the stress of can I pay rent in the next few months because I got to find a job in this city...
