Great name for a band!
Time to get funky with the High Fade!

@Jett129 I don’t know if you have seen this series of Drumeo videos on YouTube where they take drummers from different bands/genres and play them drumless tracks for them to come up with their own take they would play with the music. It’s been great to watch the different drummers and in quite a few instances, I think they do as well as or even better than the original recording. This is one of them that I thought was awesome to watch and wanted to share:

@Tago-Mago I laughed my ass off on that video
The entire series has been great to watch with the Mike Portnoy video being another favourite. -
Those are so cool but I’m frustrated that they missed the obvious: follow the performance with active listening of the original track WITH drums and let them react to how the original artist handled the song.

@goosehd Many,Many years ago I went to audition for a band,and I’m in the waiting room with another drummer and we’re chatting and he says even if I get this gig I’m not going to take it,and I said why not,and he says because I’m going to play for this guy Billy Joel,I had never heard of him,and he goes before me and he’s really great,way better than me. So I go in after him and I say to the guys,don’t you really want that guy? To which they respond NO! I Ask why not,and one of the says because he’s too fucking ugly. It was Liberty DeVito. Many,Many years later Liberty would take Billy Joel to court because the Ack,Ack,Ack in Moving Out was his idea,and he thought he deserved to be included in the writing credits and get royalties. He lost,Bilt fired him,and it was around this time that I saw Billy Joel at an event and recounted the story of when I met Liberty and he got a kick out of it. Sorry for the long post. I wasn’t their second choice,but 3 months later they called and offered me the gig. This was the band.

I don’t know that I could possibly love music any more than I do. I’m kind of out of touch with who the current mainstream bands are,but having said that,I would guess it’s harder than ever to reach the point where you’re considered mainstream. I really like and listen to,predominantly, music that I grew up with…Doors/Hendrix/Who etc.,then theirs stuff like AC/DC/Kiss/Van Halen. I love a band called The Bodeans,huge Cheap Trick fan. As far as a band that continues to totally blow me away with their talent,Cream(no pun intended)takes the cake. The curse is that I have zero fucking tolerance for crappy wedding bands,and I’m a complete drag to be around at those events because anyone that knows me knows that I’m not enjoying it. I can often be heard saying things like the band should be arrested for killing that song. On another note a drummer that absolutely blows me away is JD Beck.

I can hear a bit of a Pearl Jam in these guys.
Bit of Tyler, Sturgill and Zach as well!
