minermark Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Most excellent, i must admit iv passed up a few of their concerts, one can only follow so many bands, this WILL change. The Melvins had two drummers last concert, dialing them in is the "Touch" not many have these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fjd Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) I think I would have to rate these as some of the classic drum solos; John Bonham Neil Peart Carl Palmer Keith Moon for blowing up his drums Edited December 4, 2014 by Fjd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted December 4, 2014 Moderators Share Posted December 4, 2014 Get this DVD, incredible sound, and run it through your system. He invented, literally, the Rock Drum Solo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 If you're teaching yourself at home, here's how to play a ratamacue on a drum set. And when you're Steve Gadd and you did ratamacue drum fills with Steely Dan on the Aja album, it sounds like this: (tune in around 9:30, on the cut "Aja." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gPFZlw1dw0&spfreload=10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw them in October with my kids in the 1st row, kids got a guitar pick from him and a drum stick. Awesome concert, nice small venue, we were about 6 feet from him. I've seen about 500 concerts in my life, and have to say this was one of the best for raw music and energy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhenry Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I love the Godsmack! The little bit of Rush's Red Barchetta was sweet. Is that available on a Blue-ray somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paducah Home Theater Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) The problem with total badass drummers is that when they get a chance for a solo, they do stuff that only other badass drummers would appreciate. Joey Jordinson for example. What they like to do is to show off "polyrhythm" skills that lets them play multiple different beats at the same time. Personally, I hate it, it usually sounds like noise to me. I like stuff like the Godsmack that I posted but typically the more elite the drummer the more jacked up it sounds when you give him a chance to show off.

BigStewMan Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 i chuckled listening to Roger Taylor (Queen) saying how he hates drum solos--he said that if he was doing a solo and looked up and saw someone in the audience getting up to go for a hot dog--it made him feel like he was boring them.

wvu80 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) I confess, I am a strange creature; I am a trained drummer who doesn't really like drum solos. The ones I like are NOT the ones where guys are mindlessly ramming notes without any semblance of musicality or technique. I like guys who play musically, can play accents and who are interesting, changing rhythm, tempo, dynamics, and who can get different textures out of their equipment, such as playing on the middle of a cymbal, and playing on the bell. All of the above solo guys play either all singles (1 beat to a hand) or tupplets (2 to a hand), but I doubt that any of those guys (except Steve Gadd) even knows what a Swiss Army Triplet is (3 to a hand). Any of the Guitar Center Drum-off winners have their drums mic'd and recorded with modern equipment, so this is going to play through our gear as good as it gets. I don't like drum solo's per se, but I really enjoy the originality of the 2012 Drum-off winner. Edited December 4, 2014 by wvu80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
