Re: Frank Briggs

I agree wholeheartedly with Pocketplayer, Frank Briggs is a fantastic world class drummer IMHO. The 20 year old video floored me, such great music within a drumsolo is the hardest thing to do. I feel kinda bad he was not on my radar before. I went to the first Zildjian Day of the Netherlands yesterd...

Re: Gregg Bissonette

Yeah! I've seen that Toto gig with Gregg in Ahoy-Rotterdam '95, loved it! I can remember thinking 'they should keep him' as he was subbing for Simon who had some serious injury at the time if I remember correctly. At this time Jim Chapin was in Holland and I attended one of his classes at Cesar's pl...

It fell just short of the audience thank god, nobody got hurt. In the Amsterdam Conce...

Re: OT: World Cup Chatty

Sure. The big international Clubs like Inter, Real, Bayern etc. can buy the best internationals. So if some super-rich arab or whomever buy's a soccer club or a government likes to sponsor a club [Paul is spot on there] they can win prizes. So, the team with the most money can buy the best staff and...

Re: OT: World Cup Chatty

Interesting points though. I'm not a sports-fan but I did like the mood of all these people from all over the world coming together. Brasil did a great job in hosting this event. And of course big money and governments/political pressure groups jump on the big stage to promote their agenda. But that...

Remo Powerstroke Pro

Hi All, Does anyone have any thoughts about these heads? Supposedly the black head sounds really different from the transparent one. I've been using the Powerstroke 3 since forever and I love it. This head looks a bit like a 'stolen concept' as Evans makes the EQ heads. There seems to be both a foam...
