just to agree (sort of) with the "will's drumming being sub-par" comment...
i have a friend who is a very good drummer, and he said that he was really
disappointed when he saw Sunny Day. He said he was always amazed at the
fills and such on the pink album, but when he saw SDRE live, Will took out
all his hard fills.
maybe he's just gotten lazy?

Subject: [sdre-l]: Jeremy on bass
Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2000 16:25:36 -0400
some recent posts have been hitting on this and i wanted to address it a
little further. i was on vacation for a week and things are foggy so
forgive me if i have posted about this already.
whatever concerns you have about the new album (and trust me i have many),
do not worry about the bass playing being substandard. i was pretty amazed
that the bass is some of the strongest stuff on the album. these are not
bass lines layed out by someone who can't play the instrument - they are
extremely technical, flowing parts that settle into the songs nicely.
whether you like the songs themselves is completely up to you (i'm still
deciding), but all the parts on the album were played with a strong command
of their respective instruments.
-e-
ps. i've talked to a few people so i know i'm not the only one out there
who thinks that will's drumming skills are being wasted since the
reformation of the group. i know everyone will say he learned restraint and
his parts are more mature, but the drums on the last two albums are just not
original. his parts used to be so distinctive!
