What Song and Drummer Inspires You? Last viewed: 3 hours ago

Posts: 1819 Threads: 153

I love it when old threads resurface! I'm not sure how I missed this one when it started!

Anyway, one I didn't see mentioned but had a HUGE impact on my "drumming" life was Iron Butterfly's Ron Buchy's "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" drum solo on their 1968 album.

I also spent the afternoon yesterday (working on computers at work) listening to Chicago's Greatest Hits... Danny Seraphim (sp?) always inspired me, as the first "real" band (non-"gararge" band variety) I played in was a 9-pc "Chicago" style of band.

Sorry, no you-tube clips, but I'm sure they're out there...

I didn't see anyone mention Aynsley Dunbar. His work with Journey

(Pre Steve Perry) amazes me. The stuff on the first CD in particular, Kohoutek, Of A LifeTime...

Before Todd Sucherman was in Styx he played in FALLING WALLENDAS, especially the stuff on "Belittle".

I think their stuff might be out of print but it's worth looking for.


1971 Ludwig Rock Duo set in Blue Oyster Pearl
early Mapex dual bass drum Saturn kit
1964 Leedy Ray  Mosca kit in Blue Sparkle
1959 Slingerland Super Gene Krupa snare in WMP
1968 Slingerland Hollywood Ace Snare Drum
1969 and 1977 Ludwig 400 Supraphonic snares
1965 Acrolite snare
Ludwig Coliseum snare
'68 Rogers Dynasonic snare
Pearl free floating piccolo snare
13" Mapex piccolo snare
6.5" deep Mapex steel snare
Mapex 6.5" Brass snare
I know there's more snares than that.
UFIP cymbals / Avedis Zildjians
Ghost pedals or Tama King Beats

I don't know why but this song released about 40 plus years ago has always inspired me.

It just does.

From SlingerLynn

As I stated in my previous post here, I'm a BIG fan of Matt Abts. It took me a while to figure this one out too. I've been listening to Gov't Mule for years and still can't duplicate some of Matt's grooves. Anyway, I'll try to show where he drops the kick in below.[COLOR="blue"]1[/COLOR] e & a 2 [COLOR="blue"]e[/COLOR] & [COLOR="Blue"]a[/COLOR] 3 e [COLOR="blue"]& a[/COLOR] 4 [COLOR="Blue"]e[/COLOR] & aHe also drops the kick in on the 1-e and the 1-& throughout.My band has been working on Thorazine Shuffle lately...I've almost got it.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4s4hW-oGZ0Lynn

Thanks it does make sense...

John!

There really was nothing wrong with your starting that particular thread by the way.. but .. when it takes the fork in the road, well... you know! The difference here for example: 8 pages and not one comment taking exception with someone else's opinion on what is good and what inspires them! Thus, is has remained in place. BEST!
