Re: Female Drummers

I didn't mean to come off harsh its just that this has been an irritation to me in all art forms. I just don't get it. The girls here in this thread can play, but if they were men, do you think they would be known drummers? Just FYI though, Cindy was very well known in the drum world long before Le...

Re: Letterman drum solo week II

I can't believe the criticism of Dennis. I got heat for saying Royster's performance was weird, and Dennis' performance was light years ahead. In fact Royster and the rest of the gospel chops contingency wouldn't have anyone to copy if it wasn't for Dennis Chambers. I LOVED that performance. His gro...

Re: Female Drummers

Perfect example! Girl can play, but she's not burning like Larry Goldings, Joey Defrancesco , Marco Benevento or a dozen other B3 players that don't quite receive TV coverage. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying these women are not very good musicians. They are. But are they on the level of the men t...

Re: Letterman drum solo week II

Yea, sorry Riddim, I don't agree with that. That context? To me music is the only context. It's just fine to disagree. Caravan is not a song everyone knows today unless they're a jazz fan, this isn't the 40s. It's also not Tony's thing to play a Gene Krupa beat swing beat with Billy Cobham fills, no...

Re: Letterman drum solo week II

Yea, no disrespect. Tony is a monster player in this new fusion approach to gospel and r+b that has been going on for years. IMO his drums sound flabby and dead.( I agree with Frank about DW's). I also don't for the life of me understand the style and song choice. Swing is not Tony's strength and y...

Re: Female Drummers

I have a serious problem with this. Call me crazy, but I don't feel the arts have anything to do with whether you're carrying a penis, or a vagina. Sports do, because hormones like testosterone build muscle easier, and still I know plenty of women who are more muscular and stronger than men. But I d...

Re: Steve Hass new youtube channel!

^^^ I think I need more snare drum punch for that rock session. Me too. You and I are not the artist though. From what I hear and see, and what it says in the description it's just a rough video of a first take. He's playing ever so nicely behind the second time around too. I'm sure the EQ and what...
