Sean Kinney's snare sounds: Roland R8 samples??
Just joined an AIC tribute band and was wondering if anyone has figured out Sean's snare sounds? Some of the early recordings sound just like snare patches from Roland's R8 model drum machine, which...

Re: The Grand Master Buddy Rich
Here's my 2-cent Buddy story: I had seen Buddy in various Modern Drummer articles and ads, also the classic Ludwig posters at all the music stores when I first started playing. I knew he was an icon...

Re: How much can your butt take?
I can sit there for hours and hours if it's one of my Roc n Soc thrones, but I can't even sit for an hour, not even close on a regular/cheap throne. I've been using hydraulic seating since 1984, so I...

Re: Weirdest mistakes you've made?
One time I had a crash cymbal too close to a rack tom and twice throughout the set the cymbal flew completely off the arm. It was a custom non-threaded type that had never been a problem until that...

Re: Bill Bruford
Cool... I love the title track "red". What an original blues tune, huh? I read a story how he used a severely broken cymbal he found laying around for the effects on "one more red nightmare".

Re: Randy Castillo
I thought Randy's playing was very smooth. He was a great entertainer in my book. You don't get hired to play for Ozzy if you have nothing to offer the band. Let's be real.

Re: Bill Bruford
He's one of my all time fav's. I saw King Crimson once and as luck would have it Bill didn't play on that tour. If fact I don't think he's been with them in years, has he? Pardon me for my ignorance.
