I was thinking ADHD and a few years of practice. He needs to fall in love and have his heart broken a few times to find his feel. IMO here is what a lifetime of living and drumming in this style can produce: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYpR5iw9F1M I'm sure you already know him Card, Buddy Rich! I am not really into this style of music or drumming but he completely sucked me in, what a feel he has!
I just met and heard an amazing drummer at a School show audition for the local arts council. His name is Tom Teasley. http://www.tomteasley.com/ He did more with tambourines than I see most people do with a drum kit. One cool crossover from ancient traditional drumming techniques, he put his elbow on his floor tom to shape the tone of the drum while he hit it. Kind of a Tabla effect, very cool. I love when kit drummers use techniques from more ancient types of drums. He liked to play different percussion instruments together switching from the Malian Barimba to a Doumbek in mid riff. BTW I stepped up and bought the huge harp Sonny Boy plays in Bye Bye Bird for a show I have Monday night. I found out that this particular harp is a full octave below the C tuning of most harps. The thing is amazing, as deep as the one in Sonny's video. It will make an even bigger impression when I smoke the thing! I'll be tipping my hat to you when I do it. --- In [email protected], cardemaister <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > This boy might have been a drummer in a previous > lifetime,too: > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8cvKImVadE >
