In Reply to: which does not make him a great drummer. posted by Duilawyer on March 11, 2007 at 07:41:08:
Very good. Also, for some reason I didn't appreciate Ginger till I got older. He truly was one of the greats. As for Keith Moon, I always dogged him out of spite. Around here that's all you freakin heard about back in those days. Also, by the time he was huge, I was already leaving the tight grip styles & getting into the much looser styles(Steve Gadd and such). But, I take back all the crap I said about Keith for he was also one of the greats. One more thing, the comment Pete made about Genesis really freakin pissed me off too.

Ever here the story of how Terry Bozio got the Zappa gig???Hilarious!!
Those guys from the 70s were CRUSHINGLY good. But.... A lot of that 70s drumming, although complicated, (mixing odd time signatures), - was a bit dark tonally with all of those floor and rack toms, tuned low. Many recordings masked a fair amount of virtuosity by being too low on the tonal scale: ie. mud!!
Later on, people like Stephen Morris, Topper Headon, Mel Gaynor, Andy Gangadeen, and Clive Deamer, really took on a much more creative and tonally diverse style that put more emphasis on the TONE and creating new sounds with their drumming. A lot of these styles were actually influenced somewhat be disco, and rap...
The problem of leisure, what to do for pleasure. Ideal love a new purchase, a market of the senses. Dream of the perfect life.
and I have never heard of any of those recent drummers. Got my work to do catching up..

Townshend, not Gabriel.
