I literally come back to watch this a few times a day. Best song. Best performance. And Elise’s vocals are incredible.
Same here Man!
me too
Luved it...
This is my fourth time playing today. Its not just about the drummer but everything blends so well. Horns, keys, strings, and can't leave out the incredible vocals
Elise is amazing. You can't stay still while watching this!
The rest of the VF Jams have had killer drummers smashing and being super technical with amazing chops. Stanley plays and you want to dance. You never want the music to stop. This was so FUNKY.
I definitely didn't want the music to stop and I don't think the band did either.
Keith Clark I keep replaying it.
personally i enjoy this VF Jam 'cause he is not the faster drummer o more technical, but all in the room was dancing 'cause taste good!
Keith Clark this groove is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
He plays with Stevie Wonder what do I expect? 😂
Her voice is conditioner for my ears! Both the power and her cool jazzy intonation in some places makes me love it
I just love the fact that Kaz, Aaron Spears, n Mike Mitchell are just sitting in there groovin on the couches. Having the time of their damn lives haha. This one absolutely ruled. Stanley Grooves like no other, and GOT damn her voice is absolutely amazing
Exactly i was like ayyyy now its a Party!!
Lol and devon taylor
And that face Aaron makes at 5:05, hahahaa!!
Elise Testone is the real deal.Stunning vocals melt like butter over the groovy drums by Stanley.Amazing work again VF Jams!
The amount of energy everyone had in this video. This is my first time hearing this and I’ve watched this video literally 37 times in a row and I can’t stop crying. Tell me I’m lying. I wish I could prove it. Lol. But everything from the singer, she’s gorgeous, very unique sound, the bass guitar is fucking killer, the back up vocals bring me to church, the guitar is impeccable, and Stanley is a fucking monster. I can not describe the way I feel while watching/listening to this video. 20/20 this is what real music is right here. The pure definition of perfection is this video. If y’all need me, I’ll be listening to this another 40 times. Thanks.
I totally understand. I've literally watched this video over a 1000 times. Yes it makes me feel that good!
Those notes such as at 5:03 give me goosebumps. Did you see Aaron's reaction to it at 5:03 too? God damn, she's a phenomenal singer. I can't stop replaying this. Her voice is just mesmerising
Her voice :')
It´s amazing, her name is Elise Testone, check her out ;)
Her voice is amazing, I couldn't believe it.
Love her tone and style! What’s not to love!?
Love her voice... :')
it does this to me
Stanley nailed it as usual, but the singer.... damn! What a nice voice
Love it love it!!!!!! I listen to this song everyday ! Love her voice! My favorite female vocalist!!!!!
Thumbs up 👍 for the female on vocals. She's killing it 🔥🔥🔥
Gosh that last part should have lasted 10min longer!! How many incredible musicians is there in this room anyway! You can make 10 more crazy bands out of the audience😀
i think this is what they wanted to showcase,that drummers can be groovy without doing all those "chops" i love this, makes me dance
July 3rd is now one of the best days of my life. With Stanley Randolph just annihilating the track. Thank you, Vic Firth, for bringing one of my favorite drummers in the world. Nice work on the phase filter on the hi hat. *LET THE GROOVE LIVE ON!!!!*
I should note thought that at 4:02, Elise is the only one singing while in the "trailer", we had the background vocals. 👀👀👀👀
That phaser on Stanley's HI-Hat is so siiiiick!!!!
Look at everyone nodding, dancing, and shaking to the music. What a feeling it must have been in the studio.
Great voice Elise ...Stanley and all musicians kick ass 😎
Great to see Stanley seriously enjoying this vocal masterclass at 5:20, that lady is. Incredible.
Startin to understand that VF Jams is about the Jam, not just the drummer. This song’s so good!
Elise Testone is one of the best vocalists of this time. She needs more recognition.
I can't believe that I'm just finding this! It's soo good and the change at 4:19 is wonderfully done
I came for the drums too, but this song is incredible! Vocals are great. Wow...just wow 😳
I’ll be damned if this isn’t a perfect song. I come back again and again. That sway is infectious!
yoo Wiedie Braima's reaction when stanley pulls out his chops is killin me XD
in my opinion this is one of the best sessions so far.. just laying back in my chair watching Stanley groove the hell out of the song. well done!
So good! Great groove. I’ll take this over unmusical chops any day of the week. And ELISE TESTONE on the vox is a freaking star! Well done, all!
I love the lead singers voice. She makes me want to play forever
I absolutely love this!!🙌🏽 I can’t stop listening to this
Robert "Sput" Searlight on the keys. Dude is killing
Anthony J Searlight? That's not right, lol
@Kwame Read the video description - it's him alright!
@Dave MacLeod I know Searight, I don't know Searlight lol

Her voice...OMG!
This is stinky funky good. Men have been hook all week with this one. The man killed it. 💪💪💪
Is it possible to have this on a drumless track to play along? that would be awesome! Cant stop falling in love with her voice!

Still my favorite VF Jams video! The song is killer and the entire vibe in the room is just amazing!

I simply love the way she sings... its almost killing me.
That female vocal is amazing. Elise Testone? Wow. She is sooooooo good!!
My weekend doesn’t even begin until I’ve jammed this one!
The total approach to this is amazing! The vintage sound of the drums is phenomenal! RetroFunk #OMG #Memphis own Stanley Randolph #Salute Straight pocket with a little flair!!
What a great voice Elise!
Such stunning performance Stanley!
Sput is a complete musician, he plays the keyboards amazingly!!!

Davih Silveira hello...name of the singer lady is??? Omg it.s amazing...

I love Stanley Randolph so much I grew up watching him play for Stevie Wonder Spain 2008 and it would be an honor if I could get to see him
ChristopherEric Patterson yeah Stanley killed on that live at last with Stevie wonder
This is hands down my favourite VF Jam!!!
Stanley is great to watch. Amazing band. Brass is super cool.
I can't stop watching this. Such an awsome song and Stanley is master of funk!
OMG, this gives me the good chills down my spine, beautiful voice an killer musicians!!!! i love it
Wow! Einfach WOW! Sebastian spielt so tight, das ist unglaublich. Einer der Besten!
Uffff what a vibe!! And that voice is made for this Song!
Fantastic song! I'm a drummer...Stanley all notes so tasteful, (in the audience Aaron Spears & Austin Burcham), and Outrageous drummer Sput on Rhodes crazy. But... vocalist Elise Testone season 11 American Idol Alum finds her niche. Wow chills on the vocal performance!!
So amazing from Stanley as always, but can we take a minute to acknowledge the incredible vocal performance from Elise...insane! What a voice, and drop dead gorgeous too!
Jeez man the entire room is filled with super musicians!
Hello Vic Firth people.
Guys you should do an Spotify playlist with these amazing videos.
Greetings from Costa Rica.
Great band...great drummer...i love a great and a beautiful singer...Elise Testone...i love it
Elise, your voice is actually out of this world.
Incredible singer, wicked percussionist and What can we say about Stanley? Best funky drummer since John Blackwell
Great Vocal, great band, and beautiful groove !!
I’m at a point now where I have to listen to this song at least once a day.
I’m back again.
It's become a straight up addiction for me
At least lol
I got so wrapped up in it, I thought I was there and clapped at the end, haha! This is my new favorite guy, The Honey Badger, just hits the sweet spot on every level. Also, apparently the DWs belongs to the percussionist( 5:47 ).
What a wonderful sound. That vibe!
I LOVE THESE VF JAMS THANKS SO MUCH!
This girl,s voice is unbelivable, sooooo gooooood
Probably the best performance on Clip-Share.
The funk is strong with Stanley! Amazing voice too
this was nice! her vocals hit the spot.
this whole song is pure joy.
Elise has a golden voice witch she can use as an instrument , the smooth and silky sound combined with the power is amazing, the band is also incredible and Staley is funky as funky can be, love this song!!!!!
Ooooh.... soooo goooood! That voice! That drumming! The whole band....
Great grooving AND singing!
I love how smooth this is🎶🎵
Yes loved this and the lead vocals by Elise Testone were great...
If I could say only one word about this cut, it would be....wait...I can't do it. This is an AWESOME track! Like others, I watch this video frequently. The first time I watched it, I fell in love with Elise Testone's vocal abilities. She is phenomenal! Stanley Randolph ain't bad, either, but...CAN HE SING LIKE THAT?? I don't believe he (or anyone else) could.
THAT'S MY WOMAN('s voice)!!!
Me encanta toda la fusión del sonido en uno (voces, teclas, percusion, vientos, cuerdas)
This has been one of my favorites of the #VFJams series. No slight to the other artists. They're awesome FO SHO! This vid right here tho! I got SOOO GIDDY listening to this. It just feels right!
Wow!! First off Stanley was phenomenal! The vocals were phenomenal! THOSE HORN?!?!!! OMG!!! The band as a whole was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I listen to this a few times a day and study Stanley’s groove! He’s dope!!
Thank you Sput! This was amazing
All these have been great, but this proves that groove > chops any day!! EVERYONE moving to this. Wow. Special performance.
Elise Testone voice is incredible. I can listen to her all day.
So much soul! 🔥🔥🔥
