Not sure many remember Zach Alford. John DeChristopher did a podcast with him. He is KILLER. Love how he plays. Hard hitter, he brought it.

Richard Bailey was 18 when he played on this. Been getting into odd times and figuring out how they work.

His playing is unreal. Not just the technical playing, but his support of Beck is so musical.

Bill Stewart from last year.

Tune takes its time to heat up. Bill is quick and smooth. Friggin Jedi stuff.

These guys have been around, but I just happened upon them. They wear their influences on their sleeves, but it sounds good.

I stopped by a really excellent drum shop in Cincinnati called Badges. Highly recommend you check them out. He had so many rides from everyone. I also tried out some Meinl sticks. I was very impressed with the quality and feel. The 5A is a bit lighter than the Vaters I usually use, but it's not a ba...

Todd has a lot of great content. I think he's not doing anything with them any longer but there's tons of stuff.

He is smooth. Has his own thing going on, plays just like he did in 1981 with Zappa.

The Vinnie spotlights he did turned me on to so much more VC playing than what I was familiar with. Stuff I never heard that is even more intense and mindblowing. It's been a while since I had that feeling of WTF baffling wonderment.

Cool, that's great to hear, hope it's soon. I'm doing this Zappa tribute and Keep it Greasy is going to be in the setlist coming up.

Not that I can play anything Vinnie plays, getting the meter and tempo mostly right is all I'm after.

Following up on this, will it be released?
