Re: Assorted videos / YouTube thread

Great stuff amoergosum. Never heard of them before but my new favourite act! I've just been watching a few of their production videos and they're amazing. Agreed, what an ace duo. The Time Lefebvre bass line on this is outrageous. [youtube_https:h9omgu64]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLZJ-0IP9bY[...

Re: VINNIE - The thread about Colaiuta

Have to say this is the most focused and coherent Sting's band has sounded in ages, to my ears. The Simon and Gabriel collabs were pretty wooly round the edges, as was the stuff before that. There's a tightness and energy to this four-piece he's not had for a while. Someone schooled in using sequenc...

Re: VINNIE - The thread about Colaiuta

Thanks beat hit, I'd missed that. Going to pop shows just to see the drummer. Now that's an attitude I can appreciate and respect. 8-) Don't get me wrong, I like Josh's drumming a lot. And I do like Sting too, not just for the drumming. But I've seen him a few times and he's not playing hear me this...

Re: VINNIE - The thread about Colaiuta

Paul (or anyone else who might know!) - any idea if Vinnie is doing Sting's european tour? Want to book UK tickets when they go on sale in a couple of days, but only if it's Vinnie...

Re: VINNIE - The thread about Colaiuta

Quite enjoying the new Sting album. Some nice tasteful drumming. I tried to work out which was Vinnie and which was Josh, and I thought I had it nailed - but according to the song-writing credits, many of the tracks I was absolutely sure were Vinnie were in fact Josh... (assuming Josh wasn't co-writ...

Re: If you were asked to step in for Vinnie..

A drummer from South-Africa subbed for Vinnie on the day he got ill during a tour. Not exactly the same, but close. But heck what could go wrong ? :mrgreen: It's an interesting listen, someone else on Vinnie's kit. Of course it's not the same - it's a mortal playing, after all - but I think he does...

Re: Anyone have one of these thrones?

I remember trying the Ergo Rider when I bought my Ford... It was a good feeling seat.. I wound up getting the Ahead Spinal G throne as that's the only thing I could get locally.. http://aheaddrumsticks.com/drum-thrones-spg-r.html#.VsVGs9C2V8E I tried it at the store for a half hour or so and did a ...

Re: The WHY?!? snare thread.

I love gear. My best friend is a drummer and we talk about it all the time. It is SUPER important to some people to tell everyone else how little they care about gear - and I get how the guru master musicians are all about getting sounds out of anything , man... It's all about their touch. But for m...

Re: Guy won't take down Holdsworth/Donati video from YT

It presumably doesn't work with live tunes as there'd be nothing in the database to match it against.
