I think it's a sign that steroid use is alive in the drumming world. I feel cheesy playing DB sixteenths for more than four bars!

Man...could you quit being sarcastic and get serious about this, Please?

It's been done quite a bit actually, there's a whole bass drum speed culture amongst kids on Youtube. Some don't even play drums, but sit there with a double pedal, a kick drum trigger pad and a metronome! There's a vid of some guy doing 290 BPM on there as well. I've seen that done in person, it's not that impressive when the trigger supplies the velocity, and you set your beater to stay about 2" of off the drumhead.

If you look at those shots you see that the backline isn't at all the usual Zep equipment. Was that from a TV show set or something?

ok....16th notes, 250 BPM, and Go!

JHB triplets do not require a double pedal at all - true. JHB's quadruplets seperate him from mortal drummers lol! I use a double pedal always....I'm perfectly capable of pulling off quads with one foot, but in todays musical landscape, and with volume levels being where they are, it is much more comfortable and practical to use the the double pedal system.

(In best Ed Mcmahon voice) You are correct sir. One more mystery solved...keep up the good work MD!

I don't like "VS" threads, and this comparison is another reason why. I think both have a rightful place in my music collection, for different reasons, and one thing you can say about both players is that even if you've not heard the song before you instantly know it's them. That's respectable in any genre.

Pantera Metallica (from "And justice" backwards...) Testament Prong Suicidal Tendencies Bad Brains Slayer Slipknot Throw in a nice mix of the classics...Priest, Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Early VH

Naturally!!

Is that the female term of the male "Fuzzy Gherkin" ?

Saturday night Live actually. Mine was a nickname that my dad used on my brother and I when we were very young. There is a ten year gap between my brother and I so at least there was no confusion as to who he was referring to at any given time. I used a version of it to incorporate the drumming side of my personality when I joined on the old board, the name was ImGonnaGroove. Some of the members started figuring out the shorter handle was IGG, and would type that instead, so I asked Sam to change my user name since that was in fact my nickname all along.

On the other hand, they're making it harder to enter Detroit. It probably works in your favor.

So that's why you only come out when we drink our gin.....

Pepper is an exploration of sex,drugs, and psychedelia. Of course you don't understand.

Lifelong Beatles fan, I've heard it said that you're either a Stones fan, or a Beatles fan.....no wonder I only own one Stones record. I also have zero problem with, and see the genius that is Sgt. Pepper. That album gets raked over the coals alot, and I'll never understand why. I would have loved to be in a competing band in 1967 when the Beatles dropped that one.

I positively love Walkin' on the moon, Driven to tears, When the world is running down, and Murder by numbers. Other than that, I listen, but am not bowled over.

My opinion is that Elvis as a recording artist is undeniable, he influenced the hell out of every blues based british invasion band. Elvis as a person? Well, that's where the joke comes in. So I don't get flamed for being off topic, the Stones are undeniable as well, I just happen to not vibe with their music.

That would be why the person used the words "In my humble opinion...." Why make an argument where one doesn't exist?

I II Women and children first Fair warning All pretty indispensable for the DLR years. Diver down If you're not already a fan, this album won't make you one. 1984 Hot for teacher Drop dead legs Girl gone bad House of Pain The rest have disppeared into MOR status for me. After 1984 Ummm....one or to cuts from F.U.C.K. I think EVH is too revolutionary to guitar tone, and style to ever be considered overrated. A Prick? Oh yeahhhhhh........

Why are you rolling your eyes at me/in general ? I do enjoy the intro that Pete gives this piece on Live at Leeds. "Normally we feature Keith Moon singing on this one, but today, we'll just have to feature him".
