when i was joining band in 5th grade i wanted to play the drums and my dad wouldn't let me that little fuck.

[marleypumpkin]

That little fuck, indeed. Why wouldn't he let you?

[SpectralJulianIsNotDead]

My set: Alesis SR-16

Favorite Drummers/composers of drum beats: Steve Shelley, Damon Che, Ennio Morricone, Colm O'Ciosig (I messed up the spelling, I know)

Steve Shelley:

He is the one drummer that I try & immulate. His fantastic drum rolls mezmerize me whenever I hear a SY song.

I have a 6 piece Pearl Session Series in this color with Sabian and Zildjian cymbals. My all time favorite drummer is John Bonham. I have been playing for 14 years. It gets me off.

I've been wondering where you were Krastian. Finally, I can have a meaningful conversation.

Drumming definetly releases tension of any kind.

I've always wanted a DW set. But, Pearl is a great studio sounding drum set.

[krastian]

Yeah DW's are nice. Dave Grohl played those (not necessarily exclusively). He's prob. my second favorite drummer even though he's been the most influential to me....that shit changed my life.

[marleypumpkin]

I never saw any footage of Dave playing DW's, so that is an interesting fact to me. You mostly saw him play Tama's. Yes, Dave was my first inspiring drummer. I'll always remember what Kurt said about why they picked Dave as their new drummer, "He would the drums harder than anyone I've ever seen."

[krastian]

Here is a nice site that shows a bunch of Dave's sets.

I love this picture of Dave....I have it on my wall.

 

[marleypumpkin]

Fuck Yeah! That's a classic photo. I haven't seen it in a while though. Thanks

I'll go check out that site right now.

I'll be back

to be serious, i don´t know a shit about drums or drumming
but my favourite drummers are:
s.shelley, Saunier and that dude from The Neptune ( his name was something like Butcher, haha)

[krastian]

Yeah Steve is the man.....I think he shines the best on Daydream.

[marleypumpkin]

Krastian:

That was a pretty cool little site. Thanks for the link.

[marleypumpkin]

Does anyone else want to discuss drumming? I'm in that knid of mood.

[noumenal]

When I was a boy, I was a triangle virtuoso.

At the age of 12, I performed the famous Babbitt Triangle Concerto with The Philadelphia Orchestra. But I quit that life - the money and women were more than I could handle at such a young age.

[marleypumpkin]

I wish that's how things were in my life.

damon che was the don caballero drummer, right?... listening to their stuff right now he's amazing...

[Hip Priest]

Sigue Sigue Sputnik had two drummers playing identically, the aim being to achieve the impression of 'a robot kicking down a door'.

I thought you'd like to know.
