so I thought this would be a cool idea so I figured I'd give it a go with you guys.

a bit of a trivia thread involving drums, drumming, and drummers

sort of a game to keep us all occupied while we kill time on a forum we obviously all love.

I say we use the honor system and try not to look things up before we answer, or if you do wait a while for someone to try and answer and then mention you looked it up when you submit your answer.

sound cool?

so Ill start it out with a pretty easy one.



we are approaching the 30 year anniversary of the death of John Belushi so I figured I'd ask a Belushi related question.

when John stood next to Joe Cocker doing an impression of the very man he was standing next to on the stage of SNL in 1976 singing "Feeling Alright" ... who was playing drums ?

Hey i totally agree with you. However i don't know the answer to your question but would love to know. Anyone else who knows ?
 
Steve Jordan?
Did you watch Biography last night? They reran the thing on Belushi and I saw this exact scene. I think I caught Steve in the shot.
 
Gadd? I know he sessioned for Joe.

Gadd it was....but there was another drummer that Im not sure of playing as well that I see now that I watch it again, if anyone knows who it was I'd love to know

Im thinking maybe the SNL house drummer at the time? ...if any of you know who that was ...or possibly Chris parker? cant really get a good look at him in the footage

Stuff was Joes backing band on occasion and happened to be that night

In keeping with the Belushi/SNL theme:

What punk band did Belushi petition to have as the musical guest, only to show up with a group of moshing "fans" (members of other popular punk bands), and cause $20k worth of damage to the studio?

yup. too easy i guess. yea... cro-mags, minor threat, and a few other bands.
 
If that's an easy one I'm in big trouble.

I've got one: How many Beatle songs did Bernard Purdie play on? :)

three.

But he didn't play on them, as much has he over dubbed on them due to Pete Best's drumming was not very well heard on the demo tape the record company was trying to pass off as "new Beatles" material.




Without looking it up: Name all the drummers who have toured with Ozzy (solo material).
