It took 5 posts before Rush was mentioned. Blasphemers! I thought this was a drummers forum!
Yes, I like Rush very much. They're a big part of my early musical journey, but other trios are available, apparently.It took 5 posts before Rush was mentioned. Blasphemers! I thought this was a drummers forum!
You can't mention them too fast around here, you upset some folks.
Jeff Beck's band isn't a trio. It's a four piece. You left out Jason Rebello who plays keyboards.
I personally consider bands like Led Zeppelin to be trios because, instrumentally speaking, they are. There is nothing they could do that a skilled 3 piece band with one member doubling on vocals couldn't.
Most of the music that I really like is made by three piece bands.
Early (1970s) Elton John with the great Nigel Olsson on drums and Dee Murray on bass. The 11-17-70 album is evidence.
Then you have the Ben Folds Five (really 3) who modeled themselves off of the above..
Gov't Mule (check out Matt Abts on drums)
Jimi Hendrix Experience (Mitch Mitchell)
