Members 1001gear Posted October 29, 2011 Members Share Posted October 29, 2011 Few clues and even less mystery here.These three I copped what I could:Buddy RichLouie BellsonJoe Morrello Much later Steve Gadd, Vinnie C, Weckl, ... by this time I had more focus on sense of rhythm - concepts if you will and absorbed the vibe rather than learned anything these guys did.

Members mraia3 Posted October 29, 2011 Members Share Posted October 29, 2011 anything by zep. Though the song remains the same is a good jumping off point I would go with How the West Was Won. Copeland with the Police. All of them.Porcupine Tree with Gavin Harrison and Danny Carey on Tools Lateralus. These guys are prog masters. Throw Portnow and Dream Theater in there, just to make you feel bad about yourself.Moving Pictures by Rush. Neil Peart. Dont listen to the haters. Their just pissed because hes better than them.Back in Black AC/DC Phil Rudd for the basic chops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 1001gear Posted October 29, 2011 Members Share Posted October 29, 2011 Albums? No real faves. Various BR bands, Bruebeck, Chick Corea, Steely Dan, various GRP projects with the studio guns of the 70s and 80s. I used to buy those GRP discs according to the player credits lol. This interspersed with Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, various later Romantic and a smattering of vintage modern (Copeland and Stravinsky f.i.) composers.Lots to absorb about music. It'll manifest itself no matter what you play. Might as well be certified good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rdrummer322 Posted October 29, 2011 Members Share Posted October 29, 2011 Several albums were extremely influential to my drumming, and most were out within a couple of years of each other. Tommy by the Who. I was 18. It was wild and it was doable. Emerson Lake and Palmer (first album) loved it. KIng Crimson-several albums got worn out by me, but "Lark's Tongue in Aspic" changed my entire thinking about percussion. Jamie Muir with Bill Bruford, unbelievable! Mahavishnu Orchestra, first album. What can I say about early Billy Cobham? I had no hope of playing like that. Zappa-Apostrophe Yes-Close to the Edge From a non-drumming perspective I was influenced by Beatles, loved Sargeant Pepper when it was released, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Jethro Tull. Always hated Lynard Skinard, Zeppelin, ACDC, KISS. Once you've heard Mahavishnu and King Crimson, especially brand new straight from the record bins, your tastes are forever ruined, no matter how much teeny bopper promotion the record companies put out.

Members rdrummer322 Posted October 29, 2011 Members Share Posted October 29, 2011 In 1972 I was already in a Zappa cover band called "Solar Beef" (all groupies must bow down before the sacred image of the latex solar beef) doing the college circuit. Great band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rdrummer322 Posted October 29, 2011 Members Share Posted October 29, 2011 Unbelievable keyboard player (Reed Gratz} check him out, he is still doing jazz cds, has a doctorate in Jazz composition, plus a guitar player and bass player who were neighbors growing up and in a regionally successful cover band by the time they were 16. BY the time they were 20 they had learned their instruments well. Great band. We even did some mahavishnu orchestra stuff for fun ( did not go over well live).

Members 1001gear Posted October 30, 2011 Members Share Posted October 30, 2011 Maybe it was Sabot, been so long. Srsly one of the things that drove me was hoping to run into people who could do War Pigs. Never happened. Of course various Hendrix, Cream, Lee Michaels, TDN, (lol) Whatever was popular in the 70s. Used to be all into that macho hard rock thing. It's good for 5, 10 minutes of amusement now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
