So you see some cock-rock drummer nodding, grimacing, pointing his sticks, tossing and twirling his sticks, and you want to die. Here at Prayers HQ, we're all for the extroverted, visually-arresting stage moves, all the saucy antics, but unfortunately, somwhere in the late 80s, drummers 'did too much' and forfeited their share in this game. They couldn't help themselves and crossed the line, so now it's all irony and cliche. IT WASN"T ALWAYS THAT WAY!
Shall we go way back and remember the kids who where the first pop-rock drummers to mesmerize us with their acrobatics? (Jazz and Big Band sticksmen have probably been doing this stuff for a hundred years...)
Here's Dino Danelli of the (Young) Rascals and Carmine Appice of Vanilla Fudge showing you how it's done.
Mind Mr. Organ Player as well!
XO!
