I need to be careful cuz I am spending too much money and need to have the studio fees saved. In fact the other day I bought some ZIldjians from a Gergo student. When I went to pick em up Gergo was sitting on the rehearsal facilities lobby. He told me that the Zildjian 22 A custom ride was always his favorite ride, still to this day, and that he used it for like 20 years or something. The ride is really a beast of a ride, love it.Julián Fernández wrote:OT: Hey Manu, what happened with your band? I remember a thread about it...
I actually took a lesson with Gergo on double pedal stuff, the guy can fly on the pedals effortlessly at insane speeds for as long as he wants. I could take more lessons with him, but I figure he's just at such far away level it's purposeless. He doesn't charge much for the lessons either.
Any insights worth revealing about the lesson with Gerg?
A lesson with Gergo is more like one of those lessons where you just learn by being exposed to something awesome. He doesn't really have a method nor will he recommend any books or anything like that. He's sort of like Dennis, doesn't really read and is basically a natural talent (plus tons of work of course). It's useless for me to do lessons with him because he is simply in a different dimension than me. His student with whom I am developing a friendship with could actually teach me, the guy is really, really good, he has absorbed lots from Gergo and I think will get places.
I am just a mediocre drummer whose time has long passed. I think this album I will record will be the end of my musical journey. i don't regret it one bit though, I gave my best given the circumstances and enjoyed every minute.
