Yussef Dayes had the internet in a frenzy, with his unique drumming style during this incredible performance of “Love Is The Message” with Alfa Mist.
We’ve all seen those musicians whose authenticity and flair sets them apart from the rest and make them extremely fun to watch. Drummer Yussef Dayes is one of those musicians, proving it in this energetic performance that went viral.
Dayes, an influential jazz drummer from the UK, teamed up with famous jazz pianist, Alfa Mist, bassist Rocco Palladino and guitarist Mansur Brown to play their song “Love Is The Message” live at Abbey Road Studios.
The Abbey has hosted all sorts of famous artists over the years, brilliant minds like Lady Gaga, Amy Winehouse, Adele, Taylor Swift and many more.
Right from the start, Dayes goes wild on his drum set in the most enthusiastic way possible.
That’s when Mist joins in on the keys, shortly followed by the guitar and bass to get the real show going. Even with all the instruments beautifully blending “Love Is The Message,” something about the way Dayes is playing his drums makes it impossible to take your eyes off of him.
Not only is the music amazing, but the camera crew, Joseph Dunn and Jake Whitehouse do an awesome job of getting brilliant angles, and using perfect zooming techniques that make the performance come alive.
Dayes and Mist continue to lead the way, as the recording session at the Abby shapes up to be an extraordinary performance.
Dayes’ expressions while he’s playing the drums is what really puts the performance over the top—his passion and personality come through in the way that he plays.
