Re: Steve Smith

I've never really been a fan but I do like his playing here, apart from his slightly horrible sounding snare drum. There's incredible drummers on these VF Jam live sessions that were recorded a few years ago but Steve really holds his own here and the band playing for him is superb.

Re: VINNIE - The thread about Colaiuta

There was a fusion band in the 80s and 90s called 'Wishful Thinking' that made four records. David Garibaldi was the primary drummer but on this last album of theirs called 'That Was Then', Vinnie is on it with another guest drummer called Michael Barsimanto. According to Discog, Vinnie is playing ...

Apparently it's from 2018 demoing e-drums for Roland. Sounds like shit though. Someone in the comments section made a great analogy. "Like a Michelin chef using a microwave". :D

Re: DAVE WECKL - The thread about Dave

Yeah, just watched the whole thing and it's got to be the most interesting interview I've seen of Dave. So many tentacles in the Weckl brand. He's very articulate and a really intelligent man. The attention to detail in everything he does is amazing.

Nicely done Rodge, because it's not easy keeping those 1/16s going on the hi-hat! I think this is the song where Porcaro said he chose to play one handed hi-hat instead of two because it feels better ...
