Auditions

Hello! Finally, after a huge break (well, hiatus really, have not played live since 2004) I am finally back at auditioning for a position in a band as a drummer. I cannot wait until I find that one band that lets me express myself in my music. I miss the stage, I miss the fans, I miss the fun, I miss the music. I have worked hard these past 4 years or so (after moving back home to Georgia) on my drum chops, different techniques, teaching, experimenting, and all around playing to get my sound bet… Continue

Gospel Drummers & Drumming

I've been thinking about this for some time and wanted to write about it for clarity (mine and yours). Gospel or church drumming is the new "hot" gig these days. Companies like Vic Firth have really noticed and supported this vein of drummers even to the point of having a video series dedicated to these gifted players. I play for my church (and others at times) and have been on and off since I was 15. Does this make me a "Gospel" drummer? It says in the good book that without love we are like… Continue

About the tracks/artists on the player

Most tunes were recorded using close micing on the bass and snare drums, with 2 overheads, typically Shure SM 81s, about 6’ off the floor and 2-4 ‘ in front of the kit. The kits varied with project and the room. Circus of Saints www.circusofsaints.com www.myspace.com/circusofsaints The core of this project is Billy Sokol, who plays fretless piccolo bass, writes, and instigates the whole thing. The tunes with the screaming tenor and rabid bass clarinet feature John Dierker, who some of you may… Continue

How does a player at your level stay working amongst such a stacked pool of talent in a place like New York? Chris: Well I think that there is enough work for all of us. I've had the conversation a few times about the life of a musician being similar to a Buddhist Monk's when it comes to a career in music.

On Pocket

Pocket is a repeated, great feeling, pattern, or groove. Keeping it in the pocket means holding the groove and deviating subtly or rarely and never without a reason. Why is it important? - It’s the root of any groove-based music. Keeping a pocket is endemic to music of the African Diaspora --- which is what the drum set is used in. If you check out West African music, many people play specific, undeviating parts to produce a burning, poly-rhythmic whole, over which one person solos at a time.… Continue

I'm a drummer - do I play music or drums?

Why not both? When I was younger I focused on becoming a great drummer. I learned how to play many idioms, and many ways to get fired from any gig in less than 5 minutes. These are nice things to know, if one is over-employed. Doing something because one can does not mean one should. The purpose of a musical instrument is not to amaze people, but make music. Playing an instrument at a high level is not necessarily the same as playing the music at a high level. There's nothing wrong with push… Continue

How to do a GREEN Music Tour by Jon Hammond

*Note: Excerpt from article in April 2008 ALLEGRO Magazine of Local 802 Musicians Union in honor of Earth Day April 22 and Environmentalism “Beat On The Street”: I am about to go over to Germany for my annu- al music tour with my Hammond organ so I’d like to tell you my way of doing a “green tour” that I have perfected. In the past, a Hammond B3 organ weighed 425 pounds (without the Leslie speaker) so it was not possible for me to take one to Europe. In 1991, I got the first really portable mo… Continue

Lower back strength and throne adjustment

Hey folks, Had a small dilemma i have faced on occasion and i'm wondering if anyone else (hopefully not!) has experienced the same thing. In the more recent few years, i've noticed myself having a bit of an "unbalanced" feeling on the throne occasionally especially when doing patterns or work using both feet .(such as hi hat work or double bass riffs). the end result to sum it up best, is feeling like i'm leaning toward my kick drum foot and my center of balance is somewhat lost for a moment.… Continue

R.I.P. Drummer/Singer Buddy Miles

It was sad news this weekend to hear of passing of legendary funk/rock drummer Buddy Miles, who died in Texas at the age of 60 after suffering from congestive heart failure. A versatile songwriter, vocalist, and collaborator, he was probably most famous his brief stint with Jimi Hendrix in the Band of Gypsys. and his fuzzed-out hit “Them Changes” (a favorite on the set list with the Stiff Joints). Miles started playing drums in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska, when he was nine years-old. His mu… Continue

Another opportunity to expand the significance of this drumming style, further promote metal drumming and to recognize those who pursue it. That's pretty much what we do... When is it? * The event will take place on March… Continue
