That jives with an old issue of Modern Drummer I had back in the early 80's when someone asked what his cymbal setup was and he mentioned he used 602's and 505's.Thank you for finding this and posting it! Fascinating discussion about John Densmore, including his mod orange Ludwig downbeat kit. According to this historian, the ride on the song was a Paiste 602.
I always take things with a grain of salt, particularly when I can't see cited sources. But the video makes me want to do some research. Very interesting sounding ride cymbal on "Riders of the Storm" and of course Densmore was using it with great finesseThat jives with an old issue of Modern Drummer I had back in the early 80's when someone asked what his cymbal setup was and he mentioned he used 602's and 505's.
I didn't know he was using Paiste cymbals back then, though.
Could you be referring to...A suggestion I found here a couple of weeks ago:
John Scotfield - Loud Jazz
Thanks, I am not familiar with him but Loud Jazz is pretty good, i'll check out your video a bit later.Could you be referring to...
Listening to your video right now and I like it very much so far, still in the quiet part of the show. I like how the drummer plays, soft playing, very nice cymbals, this is my type of drumming.Could you be referring to...
Drummer and lead vocals is Pete Hoorelbeke (a.k.a. Pete Rivera) Good stuff!Rare earth - I Couldn't Believe What Happened Last Night
Good stuff, well recorded, great drumming, unknown (to me) sort of progressive music from the 70s.
