Re: Yamaha Musashi 13x6.5
Sweet. Any chance of a photo or, even better, a recording? I haven't played too many of those woodshelled yamahas before, played a couple steel ones, although they were old and from the 80s and...

Re: THE "BIG" JAZZ THREAD
I absolutley agree. Its something that should definitely be adressed, which doesn't seem to be.
Was the Metheny gig really that bad though? Surprising you were bored sh*tless. I've always thought...

Re: THE "BIG" JAZZ THREAD
Reading some of these very nicely structured posts, I realise I was probably at fault earlier when I made the comment. Kind of Blue, and albums of that era (i reckon before the 70s), were quite one...

Re: THE "BIG" JAZZ THREAD

Re: Mark Mondesir
He's got a pretty strange style. I haven't listened a lot, but apperently he's can be pretty extreme at both ends of the scale - a percussionist i did a clinic with said he saw him doing this gig...

Re: Big kit = small penis? Big kit = big ____
I think doing the "Big Kit" syndrome on Bozzio is really quite unfair. Personally, i don't regard him as a drummer when he plays his solo stuff. He's a percussionist. If he was playing with a band,...

Re: The legendary Steve Gadd.
I think this is hard. I wasn't massively impressed when i first saw videos of him, especially on drummerworld, but as a player and accompanist, Gadd is unique. Gadd has so much groove, it's just...

Re: Double Bass
According to WFD, Tim Waterson is the supposed fastest. However that's only of the people who participate in the competitions, and there are probably woodshedders everywhere who can do 2000 bpm on...

Re: Stick Twirling
Yeah, that is pretty true.
I still reckon it's cool to be able to do it even if you don't use it that much.

Re: Best drumming album of all time?
Cool, but not the best. Although I love Cliff/Smitty's playing on that album, a lot of it is really quite busy, when it shouldn't. Saying that, Caribe is a masterpiece.
