I just received Keith's email regarding new year gigs and other happenings in his world. I am looking forward to seeing the Ringer's either in Charlotte or Washington DC in February. When I saw Jimmy in Charlotte, last yr with the touring band he had, his playing and sound was huge! To see the other...

Marco is growing on me in this context- but his gear sounds awful. That snare drum and the soulless pingy ride cymbal, specifically, leads me to believe that the sound of a poo hitting the floor would sound better. Maybe Steven wanted something different from Gavin, and I totally get that. But it m...

...and to think I was asked by a drummer friend to attend the Guitar Center Drum offs!?? (I refused. I had my share of that event while in Charloette! Seeing young guys wanking the latest gospel like/style chops gets real tiring real quick) I had been anticipating going to this event, since hearing ...

That's the K complex ride II, a 20" by the sound of it, I have the original 22" Med Thin and it's lovely, could be a dustbin lid, could be the best dry ride I've got..... Blast! Thanks for posting and the reminder!!...this vid is on my short list...Aaaaaaaaannd if you ever feel the need t...

I disagree! :shock: Mine has held up just fine and have no complaints getting to brushes or other sticks I may need from the stick bag/"table top." The 1st iteration (Yamaha) of it. I like the dw model (later redesigned model) with the little stand. Makes for it to be easier to get to, as ...

Steve feel free to move this if it fits another thread.... I'm looking to sell my yammie toms but keep the 20" kick if any music calls for it but buy a sonor jungle kit as it's ,pre portable ie on a hostess trolley kinda vibe.... I can't get a close up enough picture to see what kind of tom mo...

OMG 2:14 was silly insane. Perhaps the most muscle/craziest thing I've seen, with the exception maybe being Ron Bruner Jr. I know I'm a fool for even going into this, but just watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTlTzzdIMF0 Regards, Fanboy PS: Oh, and while I'm at it, maybe watch this too: h...

I DARE Alfred music to put out this dvd! I double DARE them...!!! Yeah, I'll buy it for sure! Yep...go 'head put it out!!

I love it! ghostnoter...

Ralph is great and I recommend everybody to buy his albums, some great agressive Jazz Hard Bop music, I love it. I second that! Also, Eric Harland has a dvd coming out from the same company. Ari, Ralph and Eric...lots of cool winter fun to be had with this three musicians! I can't wait. Rodge, is Y...

Was this recent, the recording? I would love to find a copy of the live dvd, they did a couple of years ago...Eric is one of my favorites and Stefon...whew! I kind of find the arrangement a bit heavy handed...tedious. ????
