I can listen to some RHCP, not really fan of Chad Smith... But there is huge difference between a drummer (Ringo...) in a band, and a drummer (Vinnie for Sting) playing for an artist, the drummer in a band is really hard to replace (Toto, Level42, etc...), but playing for an artist, to each his own,...

Nothing better than that show in 89.

Does Yamaha continue to make Vinnie's snare ? No.

Well done Paul, I think you knew it since the begining, funny as I was a Ludwig drummer end of the 90's...

I saw him last thursday at New Morning in Paris, GREAT sold out show, he kicked my ass in very hight level, huge respect for Sir William Cobham, a true legend, please go see him if you have the chance, and give him some love and respect, he really deserves it. http://nsa22.casimages.com/img/2012/04/...

Why leaving great drums with crappy hardware for another great drum with even worse hardaware ? No way.

"7 Days" is as easy to listen than hard to play.

Bloody hell (my English side...), I'm so glad I had the chance to see this, that's the real f... shit !!!



And this, juste perfect and beautiul.

HELL YEAH !!!
I always loved that song from "Ego", yes.

I'm sure Jeff is using Zildjian on maybe the 1st 3 Toto album and all the sessions at that time, and when I saw him for the 1st time, during The Seventh One Tour he was using at least one K Dark Crash.
But still, his cymbals trademark sound was Paiste definitely.
