Our Very Own Geckobeats

Posts: 878 Threads: 190

Going to (possibly) embarrass VDF member Ian by posting this clip. Although it's awesome work, he seems a shy lad. Tonight in Sydney the fabulous Kasabian are rocking the Hordern with Geckbeats on drums.

I hear reliably that despite the DW trashing in the following clip, the drums are all Rogers XP-8.

Gosh! this forum is cooler than we know! Ian is a cool dude and living the life.

Peace, pk.

Actually peeps. If you listen to that track (bumblebee) there is a repetitive fill that I layed over the groove. Look below at my list of kits and see if you can guess which kit I used for that!
