I do. Last gig was in August
Www.reverbnation.com/chasingglass4 - on an extended break at the moment. I have another band that's in need of a singer and a guitarist
I shall look out for you John_Drummer - we appear to have similar taste in music.
I see you hail from the same town as some Skeletal Family members! 😉
Well we practice in Keighley - none of us actually live there. I'm in Baildon but from Leeds via Wakefield
Bobby Gillespie in the Mary Chain. Didn't even [i]need[/i] to sit down.
Topper Headon from The Clash.
Mentioned early on but Billy Cobham +1
Jabo Starks
Clyde Stubblefield
Jimmy Cobb
Idras Muhammad
... and I was just listening to him playing with his hobby band "Brand X" from back in the day. Before he decided to earn shedloads of moolah by droning on and on about his divorces and whatnot... Honourable mention for doing what he was talented at: Phil Collins.
Brand X.....now there's a band I aven't listened to for a while. A bit of rummaging in the vinyl pile needed for that methinks.
Though in agreement with many above I always thought Andy McCullough of Greenslade (1970's prog rock) was pretty good without being to flashy, to me he seemed so tuned to the rest of the band. Now he's largely forgotten as are Greenslade
I remember Greenslade, got a couple of their albums on vinyl, saw them play once, in Frome, IIRC. There used to be a folk club in Chippenham, just along the road from me, and there was a Bristol singer/songwriter called Aj Webber who used to play fairly regularly. One evening she turned up with a friend who had flown over from Germany for the evening to play bass, he had a Telecaster bass, and looked familiar, then she introduced him as Tony Greenslade...
Anyway, back on topic, and this popped up on the Pod a couple of days ago, and reminded me of how great a drummer Ian Paice is; apparently, when they recorded this, he only had the one kick drum, however The Who were also recording at the same studio, and Moon's kit was sitting there, doing nothing much...
Can't talk about Greenslade without mentioning one of my favourite bands, Gentle Giant. Always loved their stuff, very complicated vocal arrangements, lots of jazz and mediaeval choral influences, and a very good drummer in John 'Pugwash' Weathers, who also played percussion, vibraphone, xylophone, and guitar.
Just got back from a Jools Holland gig and saw a 3 min drum solo from Gilson Lavis. I have to say it's the best solo performance I've seen live of any drummer, or musician in general, that I care to remember. Superb - and that's saying a lot considering the other musicians on stage tonight!!!

Blimey I thought those days were long gone.

You need a nice lengthy drum solo in a gig, makes a nice toilet break.
I was going to mention Phil'filthy animal'Taylor when this thread came up the other day. But now it's a case of saying RIP 🙁
Yes RIP Philthy 🙁

Lemmy's book is a must read for fans of Philthy and some of the japes they got up to!
Indeed ... RIP Philthy Phil 'Animal' Taylor! 🙁
