Another drummer appreciation thread
Tool just seems to chaotic for my ear, which might be one of your favorites.
I like them ok, they definitely have a unique sound and the musicianship is really good in the band for sure.....I'm more into prog/jazz/fusion type stuff. Melding different styles and musics into one and make it sound like something incredible is incredibly difficult.....Early on loved Yes, Rush, Genesis, ELP, love Porcupine Tree (recent(er) .....then discovered fusion....Dregs, ABB, TTB, Return to Forever.....love R&B, blues also.....plus being a rather poor guitarist I have a thing for great players.....Steve Morse, Steve Howe, Pat Metheny, Derek Trucks, SRV, Hendrix, Al DiMeola, Paco.....Duane Allman, and on and on
Fun fact - a friend of a friend managed Tool early on, they fired him shortly after "Sober" took off.....
ou skate street, flat ground, park, pools, or vert?
All of it actually. I can still turn 360's and do rather humble ollies. Last time I skated a park was probably 10 years ago but it was fine.....can do kick turns and fakies but my aerial times have passed....about to check out a few public skateparks in Wilmington NC.....Always wanted to learn to surf, may take lessons this summer.....
Care to share your friend's best song? Youtube link?
Would love to but he is deceased and the band disbanded years ago. I probably have it on an old CD somewhere.....
