30 years (yesterday) since Blur released Modern Life Is Rubbish - how did that happen?

@jerkules As a life long drummer I would tell you that speed isn’t everything, and I don’t think he’s playing all that fast. I don’t know if you’d consider Travis Barker or even Dave Grohl to be from that era,but I wouldn’t put him in the same league with either of those two. Just my 2 cents.

@Jett129 Even though I'm by no means a drummer I can hang with all 3 of those guys (chamberlain, barker and grohl) for different reasons - they all bring something unique to what they do.
I saw this a while back in an interview from grohl on taking influences from disco drumming on nevermind - I'm a sucker for this kind of stuff

@Jett129 drummer here too! The album version of this track has very intricate patterns - Jimmy was a jazz drummer playing in a rock band. Lots of syncopated accents thrown in, constantly four limbed and all over the kit. The album version is also about a third of the speed of this live version, and he doesn’t miss a single stroke.
Grohl and Barker are both great, and this may sound arrogant but when I was playing regularly I could’ve played pretty much anything I’d heard by them (not so much nowadays as I’m rusty). That’s not to say I could’ve come up with what they did, but on a purely technical level I could probably come close to replicating it. For me, I couldn’t come close to matching Jimmy Chamberlain, his musicianship and technical abilities are beyond what I can comprehend. -
No worries @Jett129 , I hope you come to enjoy him but understand not everyone has to like what I like
. His style reminds me a lot of my old drum teacher. I’m not an enormous fan of drum solos, but watching this video below, from the neck down I swear it could be my old teacher .. -
@Matt Surprising as that may seem ,but I went back and re listened to it and also paid close attention to the audience. I still couldn’t really figure out what the groove was and based on the fact that the audience wasn’t moving to the song very much,maybe they couldn’t find it either. I felt at times that they were all playing their parts but they weren’t in sync/playing together. Maybe this is by design and the song is supposed to be on the chaotic side. I have to hear the studio version.

Sleep Token made it to the league. It's a pain that I couldn't sort out Visa in time.
