Drums, drumming and songs with drums

[Juniper]

When my daughter starts drumming I’ll give her a clip round the ear for two reasons if she did a video like that. 

 

1. Needs more clothes on.

2. Did a drum cover - hate the bloody things.

She's drumming?

Couldn't agree more.

 

If you want to be a drummer, play the drums and leave the modelling stuff for another day.

 

On the cover versions, the internet seems to have spawned this monster & I find it highly irritating. Learn stuff note for note in the privacy of your practice room & post the videos when you've worked out something creative of you own.

Yep, can't stand it.

 

Nothing less impressive than seeing someone playing parts that someone else has created, all to fancy lighting and YouTube video intros. It's the lowest form of the craft currently and I've got no time for it at all.

 

On the clothes thing I feel the same way with male drummers who play shirtless.

 

Put some chuffing clothes on, learn some musicianship and try and get the respect of your peers and the community. That's what it's all about rather than soon becoming someone that's known for what they do/don't wear.

 

Without wanting to sound like a snob I read all the trade magazines/use most of the forums and I've never heard of this girl, despite her having 1.8million subscribers!

 

Absolute nonsense

I could watch this all day long...

Have to say I find traditional Indian music, Bangla is it called with the rythmic drumming to be quite mesmeric? Cant stand the loud crash, bang,wallop you get in heavy metal and the like.

 

Vid's a bit long but gives you a taste.

Check Zakir Hussain out, he's superhuman...

This is a live session and was recorded to show off the new drummer...

Just realised it was Mook who put this up on twitter

Unorthodox with the pool cue grip on the left hand.

It’s a lovely Radio King set with the classic beavertail lugs, isn’t it

Looks like a Radio King to me.

 

Almost as stunning as Marilyn.

I'd be happy just playing the drums on Stevie Wonders Uptight.

Try "You Take The High Road" live by (now defunct) Runrig.  Saw them twice and Ian Bayne was brilliant. At one point all band members played a drum each in  one set.

Or .... Won't Get Fooled Again (live)

or ... Toccata and Fugue in D minor by John Williams and Sky

Gotta disagree with Nick Mason there
 

Always blame the singer or lead guitarist, even if it makes no sense.

Aye, I sent that to a bassist pal & said I would always blame the guitarist.

 

Still mildly amusing though.

 

Still listening to Secret Agent a lot by the way, thanks to your recommendation.

Ah nice mate, it’s a great album isn’t it.

 

‘Lagos No Shaking’ is also a good album to check out. Different vibe to Secret Agent but tons of feel from Tony Allen, as you’d expect.

Aye, I know that one & it's superb.

 

I'd forgotten about Secret Agent for a month or two & when I went back to it, it sounded even better than I'd remembered.

Great clip of Buddy Rich (from The Lenny Bruce Show in 1959). Buddy died on 2nd April 1987...

Learned this evening that Marvin Gaye was a session drummer before he hit the big time singing.

 

This is him

Just treated myself to one of these...

 

 

And in unrelated drumming news, I've been reading Levon Helm's book, which is difficult to put down. In fact, I'm away to pick it back up now.
