Great musicians who should have been famous except....
I'm throwing this out there as an example. My 16 yr old aspiring drummer son asked me if I had anything in the vinyl collection tonight... apparently the U Tube video tutorials finally got boring. He is really good and practices non stop but it was refreshing when he asked about ideas for sound. In a moment of 30 years past clarity I put on the B side of Van Halen 1984… Is Alex Van Halen the most under rated rock drummer of all time? And is there a better lead in to ANY rock vinyl side than that???

Take a look at the intro to "Cissy Strut," by the Meters.
Joseph "Zigaboo" Modeliste
is the drummer and is strong, powerful and musical as hell. A fine example of the drummer "playing the song," on drums. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FBnQvd_xzs - Bob |
Check out Gene Krupa in the movie Ball of Fire. He plays a solo on a matchbox with two matchsticks. It was after the director called cut-but the camera man had kept filming. Unbelievable dynamics on an impromptu solo during a movie break. Rest of the movie is blah. So many talented drummers to choose from. |
