Mark Brzezicki

[averypoordrummer]

iv searched the whole forum and found no mention of him. when he was drumming for big country he was absolutely amazing. really tight and he had a kind of "marching" style which made his drumming instantly recognisable. anybody else heard of him and heard some of his work?

All I ever heard was that self titled hit BIG COUNTRY. As I can recall the
chops on it were pretty tasty and his time was nice too.

Very underrated drummer! Very underrated band, which happens to be my favorite Rock band.

All you classic rockers must purchase "Undercover", a cover album by BIg Country.
You got 'em doing anything from Alice Cooper to Black Sabbath to Roxy Music. Incredible covers from a truely great band.

So do you! Did you know Mark put out a buch of songs solo like Copeland's KK album? I just don't know where to find it!

[averypoordrummer]

He is a great drummer! The self titled Big Country record has some incredible tom beats. Really, really, interesting.

yeah, are you thinking of their first album "The Crossing"? track four "1000 Stars is unbeleivable.

also his cymbal work on "Porroh Man" simply beyond me, no idea how he does it

One of the best alltime. He played for Proco Harem and the Cult and others also.

Take a listen to "Where the Rose is Sown" from Steeltown.

A legend drummer who played with a legenday guitarist, Stuart Adamson (RIP).

Yes in fact, He played the drums for an studio album "Love", of the band The Cult. It was back in 1985, quite remarkable drumming. Songs like: Nirvana, Revolution...

All The Best,
