Ok folks,
I thought I'd out together a little quiz. No cheating now, this is from your own knowledge only.
1. What did Vinnie recently reveal as his primary method for making odd time signatures sound smooth?
2. Who drummed with Gillespie, Stitt and Getz in 1956 on For Musicians Only (Rel '58)?
3. What is the last solo in Wilcoxon's snare book, Modern Rudimental Swing Solos?
4. What is the first?
5. How old was Vinnie when he successfully auditioned for Zappa?
6. How old was Tony when he did the live, recorded "Four and More" with Miles?
7. Which drummer coordinated the drumming in the London 2012 opening ceremony?
8. Who came famous for his contest winning rendition of Collected?
9. In one bar of 5/4, how many semi-quaver septuplets can you fit?
10. Which company just brought out the "Tornado" series?
11. What drums does John Riley play for small jazz gigs?
12. What piece did Gadd play in the famous three-way "battle" with Vinnie and Weckl?
13. In the promotional adverts for Sabian's new Omni cymbal, what does Jojo Mayer say he is obsessed with, other than drumming?
14. At 80bpm, how many bars of 4/4 will you play in one minute?
15. Who wrote the Rhythm Knowledge series?
16. Who wrote the Patterns series?
17. Who drummed on Michael Jackson's "Beat It"?
18. What is Elvin's middle name?
19. On a music score, what is poco a poco?
Good luck.
