Special GROOVES - Tunes with Trademark Grooves

[Paul Marangoni]

after success, record label
took control and ruined all that raw energy. Roto tom kit to the electronic kit...come
on now!

The record company had nothing to do with the change, or the electronic drums. That was all Terry. Regardless, there are great tunes on that record too. Spring Session M was actually their second record.

That Missing Persons era reminds of one of my favorite Howard Jones tunes:

This song, Mental Hopscotch was a pretty "special groove"

One bar, you know the song, this was on the radio all the time in the 70s/80s. Great riff too!

I think Gavin Harrison once mentioned Japan drummer Steve Jansen as someone he likes, with some unique ideas.

I copied Juan's idea and created my own loop of a famous drum intro fill that in itself could be a groove. You'll easily guess it.

Steve Jansen is an amazing composer. He plays some great stuff.

This is a trademark Mickey Curry heavy slammin groove. Wide and powerful, fills right there.

Lenny Kravitz: Are You Gonna Go My Way

[Pocketplayer]

Back in the day as a kid, I thought this was the most amazing double bass drummer ever!
Les Binks was TIGHT! I would stare at this LP cover in Spanish class until British Steel
came out. Best LP covers ever! Those two LP's consumed me. Meanwhile, in a studio
around this same time a young Vinnie Colaiuta was recording Joe's Garage. I would miss
the Vinnie train until I saw Dog Cheese at the Spud one night years later.

I was into Judas Priest for a minute back in the late 70s too. I actually ended up working on a record that was produced by Tom Allom in the late 80s. Tom produced a bunch of Judas Priest records and had some great stories.
