Re: DAVE WECKL - The thread about Dave

Steve - love your new website and was interested in your take on Alive. I grew up on the studio Akoustic Band recording and was not aware of Alive until the other day. I listened to it. It is great. I may be biased, but I like the studio album even better. They all sound more settled and relaxed, bu...

Re: SIMON PHILLIPS - The thread about Simon

Simon's huge drum kit and visibility in the fusion scene belies what he is all about in my opinion: absolutely monster pocket. He's not going to come close to Vinnie or Weck chops, but the man can lay down a groove and big ol rock fill that just sounds and feels absolutely great. His time in Toto is...

Re: Thirty Years of Ten Summoners Tales

This album and Mercury Falling I find to be phenomenal pop albums top to bottom with masterful and sophisticated songwriting and musicianship, while still generally accessible to the lay person. They work on all levels of listening. I have sampled bits of other Sting albums here and there but my imp...

Re: VINNIE - The thread about Colaiuta

Sadly Vinnie jumps the shark on his latest podcast, endorsing and promoting COVID conspiracy theories and anti-vaxxers. You know, 'if you read the studies, they don't actually show they reduce hospitalizations' (yes they do), 'the vaccines reduce lifespans' (no, both the research and post-marketing ...

Re: Quarantine Chatty!

[youtube_https:24his9ja]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4jp2yy0DQI[/youtube_https:24his9ja] Wow, this is that vintage Akoustic Band Dave phrasing and sound that felt so good, but with a bit of a modern update. Wait for ~1:40 when he starts to go off. Right hand looks questionable, but sounds and fe...

Re: Kendrick Scott

this young kid is pretty ridiculous I don't understand the connection with Kendrick Scott. Is there one? Wow, that kid sits REALLY close to his bass drum. this kid is young and has a lot of potential, and i appreciate his focus on big band swing drumming which has fallen out of popularity, but he h...

Re: Neil Peart

Amazing Steve. Thanks so much for making.

Curious - why the thanks for Adam Neely and Rick Beato? For inspiration for these types of vids?

Re: Eloy Casagrande

Yeah this is just ridiculous. There are a couple guys in the metal game that are finally elevating the field to match the elite levels of drumming mastery you see in other genres like jazz, funk, fusion, pop/rock. He's definitely one of them. It's not just double bass chops and singles. His techniqu...
