Hi Guys!!!

[Rodge]

Gene is my man !!!

And yes, me too I always loved that Charles & Eddy's hit.

Gene will always be one of my favorite drummers. I used to see him play with the Torsos in tiny clubs and Me'Shell in big venues - he always sounds great! I worked at the recording studio that recorded the Charles and Eddie album, and I used to listen to Gene's grooves day after day, while they were tracking. Never got tired of hearing his groove - he's not just a fusion cat, but a seriously soulful player (and a very nice guy too)...

Thanks for posting those videos

That's awesome. What do you remember about the tracking of "Would I lie to you" ?

I like Gene's Cycles cd...It's Awesome...

i had no idea that he was playing on the Charles and Eddy Songs.

What a monster player - i love the screaming headless torsos live CD -
thats for sure one of my favorites

So that's who the drummer is here!



Really beautiful slow tempo stuff. I love that kind of drumming.

I think he was born thirty years too late.

He looks too big behind these modern day kits; one of those monster kits from the 80's would be a better fit.

I actually worked at the studio right after they tracked basics for that album... So I missed out on Gene's session, but I was around for the rest - the artists were very pleased with his parts.
