BassBus Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 The B string sounds quite good on the Fender. [size=4] [/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrammeFriday Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Nice vid - thanks for posting! Well, obviously my favourite is Yolanda Charles, but I guess you want us to pick a drummer! The first one (on the right of the screen) is obviously the most 'technical', and I like his pingy snare sound, but he overplays a bit and sometimes trips up. The second one (in the middle) is the most solid - a bit Bonham-like in places, which is always a good thing, and he lets a bit of space into his playing - although by about halfway through I noticed that he was using the same fills and tricks as he did earlier on, so maybe a bit limited? The third one, also good - they are all good, of course - but too much cymbals for me. So overall I think I would hand it to number 2. But Yolanda is still my favourite.

charic Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 My favourite is that the bass is quite so I can use this video for practicing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chap on the right reminds me of David Garibaldi with his hi-hat work. The chap on the left very solid but, as you say, too fond of the cymbals. The guy in middle I sort of missed on the first listening but 2nd time listening he is so solid, his groove @6:35 is wonderful and anyone brave enough (and good enough) to swing the Higher Ground groove gets my vote. Those Dimension basses look rather nice, kind of a new take on the Roscoe Beck sig but with an active circuit. Definitely one to try for me if the string spacing at the bridge is 16mm(ish).

icastle Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 The one in the middle for me (George Cook?). He kept it simple and just seemed to lock in with the bassist a little tighter than his companions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Id go for the bloke on the left (Dave Floegel...) for the tight snare work and more 'imaginative' working around the bass rhythm. Runner-up on the right, for the nicer, more clear, drum tunings. The middle man sounded dull, buried, lacking in life, despite a solid 'groove'. All fine technicians, certainly, and I'd be more than happy to be able to spit out a quarter of these folks 'chops', but as we were asked to choose...

ezbass Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 I forgot to mention that my drummer sent me the link originally. He's always sending me good things like this, seems like the way to find even more good bass stuff is to join the drum forums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I liked them all.... Check out 3 drummers ..... and no bass this time Steve Gadd, Vinnie Colaiuta, Dave Weckl [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_o0nlYigVo[/media] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrammeFriday Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 (edited) Now for 6 drummers and 2 bassists to rattle your teacups on a Sunday morning: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtnG6EHh1N4"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtnG6EHh1N4[/url] Edited July 6, 2014 by GrammeFriday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 (edited) Dave Floegel. I liked his snap and fluidity between hands ( always a good pointer for me ) and thought he scored highest on most grooves. He got a few wrong but his 'wrongs' were better than the other guys wrongs. In this context, I liked the middle guy the least most of the time. I thought McKeague was too busy...and I understand this was a showcase which almost demanded that but some of them didn't work for me. Maybe the kits should have been bigger as I doubt any of them would do her gig with those kits and that would rather take away a bit of their amoury. But..as a token exercise...good fun. I wonder which one she would choose. I'd guess Gary Cook strangely enough. Edited July 6, 2014 by JTUK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprising as I din't think Gadd still had what he had 20 years ago, and that is purely an age thing and playing drums is FIT work. You can't expect someone at 60 plus... to play with the energy and whatever else as someone 20 years younger... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]And rather the point of it all really IMO. They're all good, really good, and I'd be happy to play next to any of them (and try to keep up). The real winner here is Guru whose drums seem amazing, check out their video of Dave McKeague and Aaron Graham demoing the kits; they sound lovely.

JTUK Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I have played with some name drummers and they tend to vary quite a lot in what they can do..IMO.. but people seem to concentrate on the name and the C.V more than they possibly should. When you come across one who was really at the top of the tree, then you should be able to see and hear what they had...even if they don't quite have it anymore.....'quite' being relative..
