Colonel36 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 What a sound. What a drummer and great attitude also. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Good Stuff ^^ ... That's exactly how I go about playing 'free-style' when I'm not playing covers or such, or just chilling out, with 'empty' rhythms that correspond to stuff only I can hear in my imagination. Up the tempo a little, change the accent, throw in a fill or 'falling down stairs' drum lick, cool it down and start again... I get lost when playing (drums, stoopid... ) by myself; it can go on for quite a while until I suddenly find that I've forgotten to 'breath' again, and have to stop for a rest, exhilarated but exhausted. Good Stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a career break while his wife was away from home Abe Sr stopped playing to stay home and raise Abe Jr for a couple of years. He then went back to gigging when his wife was back home to continue the parenting. I like both of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I love Abe Jr, the power he creates is amazing. I can't watch this clip (0:30 onwards) and help thinking that the kit winces overtime he plays (especially at 1:15+). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casapete Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Great drummer, and not a bad singer too - remember seeing him with Paul McCartney doing some nifty BV's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I love watching him on McCartney videos. He always looks like he's having the most fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 He has toured the world with Macca and he's got P Mc in gaffa tape on the front of his bass drum. Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huge Hands Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Interesting kit/kick drum/pedal layout. I wonder how that helps him. Nothing wrong with it, if that's his choice, just interested.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
