Everything is Timekeeping
Timehas been an object of fascination and study for me ever since I rst played a drum. Learning
how to create a rhythm on its own or with the accompaniment of a band was an exercise in music-
making trial and error. Traversing the arc from imitation to creation, and ultimately discovering how
own a beat and drive any song or ensemble to its full potential has been a life-long pursuit.
Timeis a musical essential. But I chose not to label this pair of videos, originally produced in the lat
1980s, as Timekeeping is Everything.Rather, I specically embraced the notion that everythingwe
in the course of making music should be part of that rhythmic continuum that provides the pulse an
center to any performance or song. Time.So, whether you are playing a simple beat or a ll or a so
time should inform every choice you make at the instrument. Everything is Timekeeping.
Assisting me on this video are two musical friends and heroes, guitarist John Abercrombie and
bassist Marc Johnson. There are also brand-new special features including performances with
vibraphonist Mike Mainieri, an extended lesson in brush-playing techniques (recently lmed), an in-
depth interview, and a video montage that proles my life in music to date.
Timeis not always so kind when it comes to the effects of aging. But I can say with certainty and
pride that the contents of this video compilation stand the test of time.
