House of Drumming.com

Wow - we're still doing this! 2025 was an exciting year - 2026 is going to be a game changer in terms of tech (and AI) I feel. We'll see how it continues to affect music.
I love that this website still exists and thanks to those that continue to to visit. Seems like just yesterday I was posting about Vinnie playing the baked Potato in 1999.

So what better way to show new tech and drumming than new footage of JoJo Meyer playing into a computer that generates accompaniment in real time?

Let's keep this going.

MERCI Stevo, HoD FOREVER !!!
PS : I fear AI...

2026 will be exiting, but I think we all have a responsibility to keep it real, otherwise what's the point? Everything online will be fake or enhanced, and that reaction may perhaps have a cause and affect for us to pursue live interaction which in tern employs people just like the 1960s and early 70s. Historically we went from hitting a log to create sounds, to building acoustic instruments, to employing and writing music for a full orchestra, to having a 20 piece big band and slowly, little by little we devolved music by using a laptop and a voice into a simulated band with a soloist. Music shouldn't just be fueled just by economics. I do think things are always changing, and with change comes the good, bad and ugly. I see people paying big $$$ to to see live concerts these days. I think it's moving in a better direction lately. I wonder if A.I. is just another bubble like the dot.com era. ??

I'm obsessed with that song, beautiful, listen the original 1st, then a live take by Vanessa Moreno and her great band.
Man, I so love the vibe in these kind of bars/clubs, I'm lucky to have "my" spot in my hometown, enjoy.

Here the original with the legendary Paulo Braga on drums :

2926 gave me these two shows this week.

I'm auditioning for a female-fronted band out of Canada, cover thing but really good. I was at a jam session last night and Randy Gelispie was there, I had to follow him. He was super slinky.

Thanks for keeping this out there Steve. Yes AI will explode and take over and enhance so much. Tip of the iceberg.

Got more vid of the GUP tour coming out.

Oh man they're re-releasing that Rush concert on BluRay. Cool!

while doing the daily browsing of ones youtube subs and came across the RUSH kid gloves GUP live gig was taken back. was thrilled the band still has some goodies they never released! a bit out of sync here and there and not to many shots of Neil. killer audio and video of 1985.
