Re: Minnemann w. The Aristocrats

I am going to see these guys in Chicago at Martyr's this Sunday.... Then catching Marco and Gary Husband with Steven Wilson at Park West in November. This will be a great autumn concert season...

Re: Methods & Mechanics II DVD

Good god, Todd!!! Those clips are pretty amazing. I promise to order just as soon as the finances allow, but at the moment I am paying for a recording session out of my own pocket, so the money is fairly tight. But as soon as that's done and I have some time to sink into a new video, count on it. Ju...

Re: Is this guy for real???

Man... You ignorant infidels just don't get it! He explains specifically: there is only ONE god... One way to salvation! Thus... one bass drum. That's deep. :roll: And his doctorate must be in basket weaving, because I don't know anyone who could actually achieve that level of education and yet be s...

Is this guy for real???

This, by far, has to be the most ridiculous kit I have EVER seen. And the explanation for why he plays it is even more... baffling.

Re: Single strokes (how to develop them)

So weird to see Weckl and others talking finger control. Mangini held a world record and during my lessons with him he always maintained that it's all wrist. I still play that way today (although not nearly at his level).
