[quote name='scalpy' timestamp='1403898427' post='2487595'] Being bit of an odd job player I get to play with plenty of different drummers. Most are of a good standard and have an impressive cv and qualifications from significant colleges, yet some do just don't cut it and swing like a concrete lamp post, despite everything being technically ok. You know, in time, comfortable volume, nice kit etc but it just ain't happening. One guy I play with however does everything the same to a casual listen but grooves so hard I'll be buzzing the whole day after a gig. The drummer who always has the room dancing and going crazy- the guy who's never done a minutes private practice in his life and is probably the least educated of any musician I've ever played with. So what is it that makes a good drummer, I can't work it out by myself!? Musicianship, a very hard thing to define.... [/quote] Abe. This guy has timing, light and shade and when he cuts loose...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y02dFYFAuz0

I've always liked this bass sound. I think the drummer would probably find himself in jail these days though with the front of his bass. Funny how times change.

Happy Brilliant song

Macca's not good right now as he's had to cancel a few gigs. Not like him so I hope he feels better soon...perhaps, trim the work load a bit in future. Get well soon - from me.

I see that the bass is currently around £2800. Looks good if it's genuine.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1398674376' post='2436300'] Google is unclear about it (as usual), but whoever said it, it's true - and McCartney did record drums on certain songs. [/quote] No dispute that McCartney played on some tracks but Ringo was a beautiful drummer for The Beatles and I certainly can't think of anyone that would have fitted in better in fact, I'm fair sure that John Lennon used Ringo as the main drummer for his first album after The Beatles split. Many drummers try to copy Ringo but it's very difficult. Oasis did a good job of it though because that's what they wanted....someone to play like Ringo.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1398672690' post='2436276'] Famously when Lennon was asked if he thought Ringo was the best drummer in the world he replied, 'He's not even the best drummer in the Beatles.' McCartney played a fair number of the drum parts on various Beatles recordings. [/quote] I'm not sure that's true about Lennon, as it may have been Jasper Carrott that invented that Ringo quote.

I've always loved this track and it's got the most fantastic drumming on it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22K1geM2MJ4

Now that I've moved your Jazz on Geek, it's a P for me next. Have a good time

Nice bit of Groove Armada. Like the bass sound at 3:15.............what's he using. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVT5NmqJPrI

Great for an early morning dance, to get you movin' around.

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1394751464' post='2394947'] whenever i hear someone say, they do it for the sound, sorry (TMIT), or its a slap fest, apart from other amazing bassists, i think of Mr Kabas. imo some of the most musical slap playing. well that I've heard . it can be done so well, i actually forget he's slapping. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOJzRxlBRhI [/quote] Love that Kabas "Rock With You" vid. Beautiful.

Good finish!

Well, there's a bass up at the moment that I'd like to buy but, it's my money and I think it's too dear . Drop it and I'll cash for it. Amuses me to see folk say..ooooh bargain, I'd love it or what a gift...somebody's going to get a steal or it will be gone in 60 seconds. So, buy it then

Happy...by Speedometer. Vid's out of whack but a nice cool sound, just for a change. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1nbKFbjn2o

Ahh - The Nightfly. Used to play it all the time. Wonderful.

The Beatles and Buddy Rich...Then everything else. Great Sade track Bubinga
