I've been enjoying the Dirty Dozen Brass Band's Tiny Desk concert (love the sousaphone bass ... wowza). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXr3nrd33U0&t=192s The drummer on the gig is Julian Addison, whom I've never heard of. He does some interesting things, one of which is playing open handed...

Nice to see some love for Joe. Mounds of technique, musicianship, and swing. There was a really nice version of "Sounds of the Loop" that I watched many times. His solo is here, but I can't find the full length anymore: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54uhjDErU-Y Hope the JM fans enjoy it...

lol ... indeed. Interestingly, in my earlier post I accidentally kinda went that way too -- with the influential (and, uh, mostly pale ... sign of the times) drummers from back in the day. Let me move ahead a generation and add Elvin, Tony, and Philly Joe to the previous list of Papa Jo...

No kidding .... Did they really miss Papa Jo, Buddy, Gene, and Louie? Man alive.... these guys literally inspired generations of drummers. I'd love to hear Buddy's thoughts on the list ... LOL!

I find it hard to listen to anything except Jaco .... I always loved the way he played. Alas, this was about when things really started going sideways for him. A sad tale. But ... a good bass drum sound to be sure. It's shocking that nobody told Peter he needs to be using a riser! ;-) Thx...

Just happened upon this today: http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/25725479 Is this cynical stuff and a "piss-take" ... or is the guy do it for real? (I'm on the wrong side of the pond, so I dunno how to take this story...) Not that I've ever listened much to Oasis, Blur, etc. ... but it seems to...

Nice stuff ... good to see he is still going strong! Thx for the post! Matched grip is not surprising for Jack, but bright / piercing high hats are for sure. He was always the king of dark cymbals (and drums for that matter). I wonder if that is more a function of the recording device? Or...

Happy Friday! (even if it is the 13th) Most of us have surely been told we have some funny faces while drumming. The greats have their own faces: http://music.cbc.ca/#/blogs/2013/9/From-Sheila-E-to-Neil-Peart-to-Buddy-Rich-25-awesome-drum-faces The comments are not that funny, but I did...

I started on snare with the school band when I was 11. The teacher, bless her, did not have much guidance for drummers ... and I was taught matched grip. A bit later, I started seeing videos of drummers (no youtube in the early 80's!), two of my faves at the time - John Densmore and Stewart...

This might be an odd question, but I have to ask ... I've started to use my 25 year old Camco a little more. Being an 80's pedal, it has the old standard felt beater - the cylinder type. To experiment a little, I figured I would try the Tama CB90F Felt beater on the Camco. To my surprise...
