Another gem for you for Sunday
Oh yeah, thatās the good stuff
Tina Turner was such a badass back in the day. When I finally finish my time machine (itās taking longer than iād hoped unfortunately) iāll travel back to '71 and watch this concert
Toad and the wet sprocket were huge in the dying days of grunge, kinda a one hit wonder but a pretty decent group
Social D anyone?
Mike Ness has been sober since around the 90s so thatās pretty cool, The band Iām working with now just said how they love how my punk roots fit into a metal style
Rolling Stones. Live Glastonbury! 2017ā¦ whole concert! Keep editing to get it to start at the beginning.
Lately Iāve had to change things up a bit including my many playlist. This came on today and really did the trick on motivating me for my power walk and workout.
This is awesome. Hypnotic. One of the best ever jazz drummers, one of the best ever tabla players, conducted by Ravi Shankar. Special.
Iāll be checking this one out, I listen to a lot of percussion Iāll have to drop one with Pete Lockett. Buddy Rich was a legend on the drums heās considered the best of all time, most would say I definitely do.
Would say those are the 2 best drum solos Iāve ever heard, Iāve been a drummer for about 20 years it was and always will be my main instrument even though I never play anymore I lost passion for it and started composing instead.
Those vids are great! That Bongudum one especially. Really cool. And Whiplash is a great movie, love it
Do you reckon youāll find your passion for drumming again someday?
Hereās another cool percussion duo, they got the marimba coordinating on this one, always impresses me the coordination it takes to do some of these parts and have a partner who is just as good if not better who understands your playing as well.
Iām not sure man I still love drumming like Joey Jordison died yesterday so I jumped on and slammed some Slipknot for a bit. It just doesnāt reward me like it did when I was younger, it wasnāt enough of a challenge anymore so I began composing instead because itās always testing me and constantly learning new ways to improve. On drums I felt like I couldnāt get any better unless I started spending time with a jazz drummer who could work with me on technique cause I was already doing death metal and in a few bands in my area, I dove deep into prog and fell in love with the genre but then I capped on ability there as well. Maybe someday when Iām older Iāll come back and have passion to smash some Iron Maiden with my buds, but for now the old synth gets used and abused on a daily basis how about you many what is doctrine and story as a musician ?
In honor of the late and great such an amazing drummer and a huge inspiration to most if not all metal drummers
Yeah, if youāre not feeling it donāt do it. Itās great that you have another musical outlet that is inspiring you. And like you say, sometime in the future you might get the bug again. Youāll find joy in it again one day I bet.
I grew up playing guitar, played in punk and metal bands with my friends. Local stuff. Then got into weird electronics for quite a while, made a right racket. I really loved that. I still have my weird kit but I havenāt touch it in years. And then I became an alcoholic and did nothing for 7 years. Zero.
Itās funny you mention doing some Maiden with your mates. Early on in my recovery a I started jamming with a group of my oldest and dearest friends. We all live far apart now so it took some commitment and planning. It was amazing. We would each pick a cover and then meet up the following month to thrash them out. We did some Maiden, Pantera, Megadeth. Some punk stuff like Bad Religion. Dio All the stuff we listened to together as teenagers. But then covid happened and its just not happening. We will do it again tho, we all agree.
RIP Dusty Hill
Saw them live in Austin Texas at a nice small venue. Pretty awesome. They just kind of stood there and played guitar and drums. And rocked our asses off.
