ubit Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 It's not in a song situation. He is showcasing his drum skills. I thought he was superb. Ok, if a band was playing that song and he jizzed all over it, fair enough, you would be annoyed , but he's just letting loose to prove he can do it. I like it!

timhiggins Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I dont get what the fuss is about most of us must watch great bass players playing over a well known track to show off there skills or promote some new gear , and showing off there chops in a promo and what we play in a band situation are rarely the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 It's a promo for selling cymbals not some great artistic endeavour. What's the fuss? The guy can clearly play, chill out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Maybe so, but it may also just or partly reflect that quite some BassChatters visit the site very often and check for new posts. The "positive" thread has 10 posts at this point, and this one has 40, so this one attracts that type of traffic.

timmo Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) I thought it was really good. Not that I am a technical musician. I do think it is unfair to label him as a bad drummer on the strength of one video. He seems to know how to play. Thinking about it, people go on about overplaying, but he is not a lot different from Neil Peart Edited November 7, 2015 by timmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenitram Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 He's playing [b]over the top of the original drums[/b]. So for there to be a point, he has to do wibbly stuff, add flavour to it. I bet he'd wouldn't ever say or claim or think that this is how the drum part should actually be played on Thriller, or a cover of Thriller, by anyone. It's no different to any other musician asked to improvise or play around the groove of an existing song, where the instrument said musician is playing is already in the song. As bassists, what would you do? You'd wibble about all over the tune, probably with some quite busy licks, to justify doing the exercise in the first place. You wouldn't play the bass line, because it's already there. That's not the point of the piece. And I liked the dry sound of his drums, very much (but that doesn't mean all drums should always sound like that, or always be played like that, or that a different sound wouldn't work).

wateroftyne Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I have no issue with him playing around with the groove and going nuts, but his timekeeping is pretty shoddy in places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderbird Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 [quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1446843226' post='2902933'] But he's not playing in a band situation and is clearly doing it to show off his skills. Not my thing but fair play to him. [/quote] I agree with this 100% he is a pretty good drummer though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
