Drumming

a very nice slingerland he's using in that vid too. On the topic of vintage kits, about 9 years ago, my friend picked up a near mint resonator with it's matching stool, rogers hardware, rogers dynasonic snare, paiste formula 602 ride and paiste sound edge hats, zildjian a crashes all complete with le blonde case for just over 300 quid!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he might be a good drummer, technically, but like Joe Satriani is unbelievable with the guitar, it lacks excitement and energy. Its boring listening to that. Although i do appreciate his talent.

Stick with the video, it starts to get real good (esp. at about 6 mins). Ignore that cunt with the Bass.

I powdercoated one of my snares, well...the hardware,
et viola...

I'd be first to admit it was fairly pointless, but hey, who cares!

very nice! just try not to rim shot it! :)

the guy with the bass is indeed a cunt

any of you lot heard of gene hoglan? played with darkangel, death and strapping young lad. fat fucking cunt but bastard amazing!!

very nice! just try not to rim shot it! :)

Yeah, i tend to rim shot A LOT, but it's holding up well so far...good old armourtex powdercoat, tis a pure example of it's toughness. I'm doing about 12 shows in the next 2 weeks, so maybe i'll take a pic when i'm back to see how it's taken the beating?

i used to play a black panther, 3 ply maple, purple stain with gold coloured brass hoops and lugs. The hoops were fucking stick choppers man! Nice snare though.

check this, mike mangini. fucking ridiculous!!

after 6:00, it goes total spastic inhuman style, no joke!!!

i think levon helm is my all time fave drummer for feel and overall musicality.

clyde stubblefield was/is fucking unreal. all that james brown stuff wouldn't be anything like as tight and funky as it is without him. there was a time? funky drummer? say no more.

?uestlove is great for straight groove and greg saunier from deerhoof is stunning for a whole different feel. bonzo and steve gadd are both near peerless in their respective ouvres of course.

and i've always liked all the motown drummers. benny bejamin, pistol allen and uriel jones. i love it whan jazz drummers play pop.

charlie watts and ringo would rank high on my list at loose swingy instrinctive timekeepers with unique recognisable styles. neither of them great technicians but great feel and groove and a great sense of what works in context with the rest of the music.

Purdie is playing at the Jazz Cafe this fri and sat (with Reuben Wilson and Grant Green Jnr)

i used to play a black panther, 3 ply maple, purple stain with gold coloured brass hoops and lugs. The hoops were fucking stick choppers man! Nice snare though.

Yeah, they are nice snares. I was initially after one with black chrome hardware, but got this one with sliver hardware cheap.

I also have an Ayotte snare, you know the ones with wooden hoops, something i'd always wanted...although my incessant rim shotting snapped the batter side hoop within six months. Gutted. But just replaced with a chromed steel one.

Check this....quadruple kick blasting. Just. Fucking. Silly. And pointless, however strangely admirable. Plus the guy's got one of those faces you want to punch over and over...shit tune also

I am no drummer. I come from a percussion family (three generations of drummers), though I play brass.

Here's the guy that really never gets any hype, who absolutley changed my life, along with some people already mentioned above^ like Airto and Clyde: Mr Keith LeBlanc, of Tackhead/The Maffia/Little Axe/On-U Sound and countless sessions. His Solo LPs are INcredible, for all you drummers out there looking for some interesting rhythms. Amazing complex breakdowns and time signature work, he rocks the most solid danceable beats I've ever heard.

Used to love going to see Tackhead, they were awesome...

I am on a total On-U trip now Joe, listening to everything I can find on Youtube. I was a massive Bim head, Tackhead and Keith's solo records are amazing, I still obsessively buy them - the Sherwood section of my records is about two feet thick. African Head Charge were my end of the night choice for years, still are. They don't make em like that any more.

The best night I ever saw Tackhead was with Bomb the Bass, right at the end, with Bim & 'DJ Spike' at Subterrania, about '91 I think it was. Keith always opened up on his own, and used to drop some slammin funny time signature shit in there, me and my drummer pal Wig used to always compete to be the first to find the groove in a 15/8 beat or what have you, whislt the crowd kind of fell down the stairs trying to dance to it. I never use smilies these days, but this deserves a massive :)

listening to pantera at the mo...vinnie paul has such a fucking solid groove!!

You gonna come out monday night mate? Should be small and nice.

HAHA!

Joining this thread a bit late, but for me the drummers I admire/try to rip off the most would be:

Dave Turncrantz

and John Stainer for pure tightness

and I agree with slaytanic, Gene Hoglan is amazing, and a rather portly fella.
