Otto Masson Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Gene Krupa is indeed great. The Benny Goodman orchestra actually played at my grandparents' wedding I have no idea how they managed that. I don't think they were that "connected" Yeah, I remember you told me about that once on the old forums, nine - pretty amazing, huh?! Do you know which year it was though?

Otto Masson Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Mike Shrieve 'Soul Sacrifice' at Woodstock is unbelievable. And he's just a kid there, basically, playing for half a million people. Also agree with you, Jethro, about Barriemore Barlow - definitely one of the best drummers in rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can just imagine what Shrieve was saying to himself at that moment I agree with you and Jethro about Barlow. Great drummer ! I'd also include the drummer he replaced in Tull, Clive Bunker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Two pages in and no one has mentioned Ringo? For shame... Other faves: Now I'm in my car Oh, I got the radio on Now I'm yellin' at the kids in the back seat 'cause they're bangin' like Charlie Watts - John Hiatt "Slow Turning" ..and who could forget the incomparable George Jetson.

ally Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 In the "fucking mind-blowingly insane" category Sean Reinert Billy Cobham Gavin Harrison In the "awesomely talented" category Bill Bruford Martin Axenrot Steve Gadd Flo Mounier In the "extremely talented but not my style" category Terry Bozzio Buddy Rich Derek Roddy Patrick Robert Gavin Harrison is brilliant.

Otto Masson Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I can just imagine what Shrieve was saying to himself at that moment My guess would be that, having perhaps resorted to the use of trendy chemical amusement aid, he thought, "Hey, far out, man."

JethroTull Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 This will be my only post today. I need to take a break from the computer. I'm sure a few of you are happy about that. Dharma For One started out as an instrumental on the first Tull LP in 1968. By 1970, lyrics were added and it became a live showcase for Clive Bunkers drumming. It's a long song on two separate youtube streams. The long drum solo is on the second part. I noticed there is another video of the song of a Tanglewood show in 1970. You can see how the song progressed (shortened and cleaned up) into the Carnegie Hall Phoenix House benefit version that was eventually was released on 1972's compilation Living in the Past.

bigstickbonzo Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 No love here for Ringo? Who'd a thunk it... I can't say he's one of my favorites but he undoubtably helped shape some of my time signatures when learning how to play. "Ticket to Ride" is still one of my all time fav beats.

phyton Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 How come no one has mentioned Stewart Copeland (The Police) yet? He's freakin awesome, I saw him live and felt sorry for his drums, he beats the s**t out of them!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Nice call on Stewart. When I saw the Police a couple of years ago he pretty much stole the show but they all went above and beyond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's freakin awesome, I saw him live and felt sorry for his drums, he beats the s**t out of them!! He's a great one alright Another guy I like is Steve Ferrone. He doesn't stand out with Tom Petty but his stuff with Average White Band is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigstickbonzo Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Stewart isn't quite as fast as he once was, although he's no modern Ginger Baker. He's still a very good drummer and unquestionably one of the best, if not one of the most overlooked drummers in rock history. His style was as much an element to the Police's sound as any of it.

Absolutely! Stewart was a very integral part of the band's sound which is why it used to infuriate me when people would call them Sting and the Police. He's done a lot of soundtrack and other interesting stuff post the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquamarine Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Nearly two pages before Charlie Watts makes an appearance--I always felt he was sadly under-rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
