what i didnt get for the longest time as a drummer trained in the rock vein was that a lot of jazz was swung and cut at the same time...found it mind blowing once i put it together... perhaps obvious to some, but truly opened my eyes
hes fucking great, try lisdtening to how the west was won live stuff .... he is defacto amazing
but nothing compares to the skill and freedom of cats like elvin
i just enjoy the joke that he cant swing....
i honestly find this the most beautiful thing ever
for fear of sounding like a tremendous cunt, theres very few rock drummers i can really get down with. they just lack all of the fluidity and personality of the jazzyboys. probably since they cant define themselves based on the width of their 8th note or somehting, idk. most rock drummers that are supposed to be good are just over technical trained monkeys or drunkards bashing the shit out of a perfectly good drums set. also, why in the fuck do rock drummers play cymbals that sound like cock? (i just got back from a gig and ive been drinking)
cuz it is slut
id love to hear the last minute or two of this really clearly, just to hear what the hands are doing, to learn
btw did anyone listen to new ambrose akinmusie record yet?
drinking myself. cheers mate!
>cant define themselves based on the width of their 8th note or somehting, idk
that is an interesting theoretical statement
im not gonna go on a bonham shred, but i will say this: give the west was one shit a listen - go confirm your bias if you like. he's not overly a technician - hes super technically capable, fluid as fuck, so goddam locked in for time, inventive as hell, musical, a pure peer to his mates, so damn free in his phrasing, and stuck in the goddamn groove like a magnetic needle. its frankly unbelievable.
still cant fucking swing.
its just another genre. nothing compares to the cats like elvin tho. just nothing.
ill look for a link now m8
>find out there's a avant-garde jazz subgenre called "Yass"
>listening to some yass
Bretty fucking good t b h
haha nice man. i will give that stuff a listen if i can bare it, even when i was listening almost exclusively to rock music i was never a big zeppelin guy, i dont know why. i do actually have pretty high opinions of the guys in that band and enjoy bonham not being technically flashy or anything. maybe its the song writing, idk cant really get in to them. also i have a pet peeve about the bassist doubling the guitar part, aka every zeppelin bassline, which is upsetting.
oh and about the 8th note. i find that the width of someones 8th note can be a seriiiouussly defining factor of that person. i started thinking about that when i moved up north for school and a teacher of mine was able to identify me as a southerner cause i play with a pretty extremely wide 8th note. since then ive used it as a really strong defining factor for musicians.
