Drummers & Drums

Frances Carroll came up as she has just died but she was a real hot drummer with her own female band in the swing era.
It's near impossible to conduct and drum at the same time  so she hired a hot redhead who could sing to front the band.



I accidentally came across this guy but not sure what his name is.
The name on the site was Firedrummer.



This is a long one but save it for later or you can jump in almost anywhere.
It's a compilation of Buddy Rich appearances on Johnny Carson's Tonight show.
Of course he was always there to kick ass and take names.

Lil'G has been working on this. We saw Pup on her 21st at The Haunt in Ithaca. These guys are all players.

Re: Drummers & Drums

Last weekend some grandkids and their friends were over and I played them a YouTube I found of Gene Krupa.
It was his knockout appearance on the Ed Sullivan show in 1960.
I enjoyed it as always and was glad to see how much the kids did, too.
I thought to impress them with my knowledge of the group backing him, but think I missed.
When I checked, I still couldn't find the answer.
Anybody know who those guys were on what must have been Krupa's gig?

Re: Drummers & Drums

I appreciate this thread, in case I never said it. Bruce is a good guy. I've been playing a few gigs on the drums lately. After the lockdown, it's a real treat to get out and play.

Re: Drummers & Drums

Sorry I never got back to this subject I posted several weeks ago.
I have enjoyed the FunTrivia website for many years and even written some quizzes.
They have a feature (Ask Fun Trivia) that is the most amazing resource for finding arcane stuff I have ever seen.
"On the Ed Sullivan Show of June 26, 1960, Gene Krupa is showcased throughout “Sing, Sing, Sing” with his quartet which also includes Eddie Wasserman on clarinet and tenor, pianist Ronnie Ball, and bassist Jimmy Gannon."

That's totally NOT a rabbit hole.  Nope.

I'm glad it is not a rabbit hole.   Uh, what's a rabbit hole in this context?
If you visit FT, look for player scalar's quizzes.

Re: Drummers & Drums

So I heard this song and thought, "THIS is what I want to sound like," so I've been playing on really minimal kits and trying to stay as locked into the groove as the brilliant Bryan Owings on this track..

Re: Drummers & Drums

I've been realizing that my perfect drumming style is exemplified on the Don Henley album, The End of the Innocence. Who plays drums? Sometimes Don Henley (duh), but also *Jeff Porcaro* + *Steve Jordan* + *Stan Lynch* and ALSO also, *Jim Keltner* and Lynch on percussion/additional percussion. I mean, look at this Personel,this is an all-out production extravaganza

I guess Danny Kortchmar plays drums too? Just read this--

Daniel "Danny Kootch" Kortchmar (born April 6, 1946) is an American guitarist, session musician, producer and songwriter. Kortchmar's work with singer-songwriters such as Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, David Crosby, Carole King, David Cassidy, Graham Nash, Neil Young, Steve Perry and Carly Simon helped define the signature sound of the singer-songwriter era of the 1970s. Jackson Browne and Don Henley have recorded many songs written or co-written by Kortchmar, and Kortchmar was Henley's songwriting and producing partner in the 1980s.

Anyway, this is pretty much the feel I'm trying to cop, with all the single-hit tom punctuation--


Basically moving the time part to a tom phrase that "fattens" the beat

I love how the rest of the orchestra seems to be bracing themselves. That looks like a commander, used to assemble post and beam.

Re: Drummers & Drums

This type of implement is called for, specifically, in Mahler's 6th Symphony
Mahler wanted something, “brief and mighty, but dull in resonance and with a non-metallic character — like the fall of an axe.”
