One of a kind

A champion of drummers too. Who else played with more drumming giants than Beck?

Simon, Bozzio, Narada, Moon, Cozy, Ansley, Vinnie!

Another icon, gone.

Who would have thought that Keith Richards would have outlived Charlie?

Let’s all play a few bars of not hitting the hat on 2 and 4 in honor.

RIP

Simply killer. Bravo.

I try to learn and play the original parts as close to the recordings as I can. I know there are guys that don’t feel it means that much, but to me it does. For me, I always like to hear the “right” fills and parts when hearing a cover band play a song that I know. The tempo and feel are more import...

I’m regularly impressed with today’s lower end kits. The quality seemed to surge in the late 1990s and early 2000s from what I remember. The Stage Custom line from Yamaha was the first that really made me sit up and notice. I think today’s mid line and even entry kits are as good or better than most...

Here are three that came to mind pretty quick. In the high tuned category, a fellow named Rob Ladd's snare on Alanis Morissette's "Perfect" from her debut Jagged Little Pill always gets my attention. [youtube_https:24qd22ff]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgRGziWn45Y[/youtube_https:24qd22f...
