Re: Steve Smith

EOI was a monster of a record. Tony had some great drummers in his bands back then. I played the shit out of that tape. VitaLive era Smith was cool, lots of creative drumming with power and energy. Listened to the shit out of this too. Saw him at Alvins in Detroit, he was beginning to morph into the...

Re: DAVE WECKL - The thread about Dave

Wow, that's going back!

A rerun of SNL with Paul Simon playing 50 ways was the first time I saw him.

Re: DAVE WECKL - The thread about Dave

Was thinking about the difference between Dave and Steve. Gadd was known for his pop work. 50 ways, Chuck E, Electric Slide. People had to dig a little to find him on jazz records. Dave was a jazzer, pretty much. He didn't have a signature groove that was on AM radio over and over. Chick is where I ...

Re: Assorted videos / YouTube thread

I'm digging these guys. They get into some pretty heavy prog without being too 70s. And they're selling tickets.

Drummer kicks it.

Re: DAVE WECKL - The thread about Dave

I'm old enough to remember when older drummer in the late 70s early 80s dressed and acted like Gadd, played Yamaha, played his sticks, had his feel and attitude. I took lessons at WVU and the teacher there was so late 70s Gadd. I came in with rock and roll and Neil and all that...we didn't hit it of...

Re: DAVE WECKL - The thread about Dave

Dave has majorly changed my life for the better on at least two occasions by showing me what it takes to be a better drummer and musician. One clinic with him many years ago in Ypsilanti Michigan made a gigantic impression, how to get a better hand position, how to practice, how to THINK. This virtu...

Re: 2023 Chatty!

Sorry about the gigantic pics. I've had these for many years. I love them to bits...but there's an achilles' heel in the heel. The small screw just loosened over time and I didn't know it until it wasn't connected any longer. I'm going to loctite that screw, and get a welder try to weld that togethe...

Re: 2023 Chatty!

Played a gig the other day near Cleveland. just putting our a warning to anyone using Pearl pedals and not checking them before every gig. This happened in the middle of a Shania tune in front of 5-6000 people. I'd never played the tune, not with this singer, never played to tracks live, or with in-...
