holly smokes, Terry Bozzio is in KORN

[zarrdoss]

and with the biggest drum set ever. He looks like Animal from the Muppet's.

I have not bought a Korn CD in years but might have to check this one out.

Terry is an extremely underrated drummer, Terry Bozzio won the audition to be in Zappa's band when, after he played, all of the other drummers behind him in line left. Zappa wrote "The Black Page" for Bozzio. The rest would be history but, no he went on to form 'Missing Persons', another underrated LA band, just for the Hell of it :tongue:

[Toolfan66]

I have every missing persons LP (vinyl) just because of him...

We all think of Neil Peart but I have to agree very underrated..

[mhardy6647]

One of the most amazing, and phenomenally well recorded, "rock" drum pieces I've ever heard is his Hands with a Hammer, appearing on Zappa's You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore, vol. 3.

i thought fz wrote that for vinnie calliutto(sp?)...not sure tho

[George Grand]

"Here's my two new drummers."

That's how Zappa introduced Aynsley Dunbar in 1971 at the Fillmore East. He had a single bass drum, two floor toms, one mounted tom, and a snare. That's five drums.

After Chester Thompson and Ralph Humphrey, every Zappa drummer (except Ruth) bored me bad. Everything seemed to concentrate on playing stuff fast instead of playing it juicy.

so... I infer from this you're not much of a Bozzio fan, then, George?

[concealer404]

He's talented without a doubt, but i just don't see the point of these crazy setups.

Some of the best drummers i've ever heard had just one bass drum, high hat, snare, one tome, and one crash symbol. It's the people that can make THAT sound amazing that have my respect.

[Earthy]

Dang, I would forget what I was doing by the time I swung from one end to the other. Might even grow a beard. That's a crazy bunch of drums. I am impressed!

I'll agree, with one exception, Vinnie Colaiuta. Tough to find a shuffle thicker than that man plays, in modern players. He's a bad, bad man. (no matter what the speed)

Too bad Steve Smith never ended up in the chair for Zappa, would have loved to hear that.

Tell that to Billy Cobham.:tongue:
Why give someone more respect for the size(or lack of) their instrument? Maybe we should start taking some strings off the guitars. If they are REALLY good, they can still play the same song with just ONE string.

I worded that strangely. Terry Bozzio has my respect for sure, i'm not trying to take anything away from him.

I just look at the musician more than i do the gear. If i'm blown away to the same degree by both Terry Bozzio and someone with a stripped-down standard set, then they're both great, but personally, i would just have to give my nod to the other guy. It's nothing against Terry and these crazy setups.

[LessisNevermore]

Yeah, having said that, I think Bozzio's kit is ri-damn-diculous. He assembled it to compose on, not just lay down a beat. He's an odd duck, that one.

[George Grand]

so... I infer from this you're not much of a Bozzio fan, then, George?

That is correct. A tip of the hat for being a master at his craft, but a little less theatrics/drama, and maybe a little more of something I can tap my foot to. I'll admit to not being too familiar with that Caliuta fellow, but as far as some of the guys before him and after him, they bore me silly. It's almost like listening to electronic drums that Frank has programmed. Wackerman comes to mind. Clearly, they were ALL ultra-talented if they got their tickets punched in Zappa's band.

I like Cobham, but when I saw him (many moons ago), he had the Fibes stuff and his set was tiny compared to the likes of Peart and Bozzio. Bear in mind Cobham is clearly ambidextrous (where I don't think some or any of the others are), and a drumset with him at the exact epicenter makes a great deal of sense. The guy from Dave Matthews' band also appears to be naturally ambidextrous.

[LessisNevermore]

HA! My first kit was a Fibes! Black fiberglass, wrapped in brushed gold. Just as ugly as that sounds. Great sounding kit, and HEAVY. I still have the snare.

[Toolfan66]

BTW KORN and Terry Bozzio have parted ways. He will be on the new album but will not be touring together. Bozzio also worked with Korn on the soundtrack something of the Dammed,can't remember the full name but it's a Vampire movie based on a book by Anne Rice. I'm to lazy to goggle it..

[DSkip]

Carter Beauford?

He is one of the big reasons I love DMB so much. You never see the guy without a smile no matter what he plays and he seems to truly love his gig. He is one hell of a drummer too...

[zarrdoss]

Queen of the damned, John Davis did the soundtrack, pretty good BTW. He also did some strange work with Mike Patton

[Toolfan66]

Queen of the Damned!!! It just came to me..

[Toolfan66]

Lol!!!!

Great soundtrack, terrible mastering.

Mike Patton is a beast.

Carter Beauford is a phenominal ddrummer, I won't say underrated because people that know his stuff know how good he is, but he's not very well known given how awesome he is.

What makes him such as badass is his versatility, he incorporates so many things from so many drummers in his playing style, and then on top of that plays grooves that are very unique and only sound like him.

[mhardy6647]

Keith Moon remains my favorite rock and roll drummer. He is, unfortunately, currently dead.

Buddy Rich was, I assume, his role model. Buddy, alas, is also Tango Uniform, according to the last report.

"Tango Uniform"... did I get that right, George? Close enough?

[zarrdoss]

one thing that never really impressed me was playing upside down, spinning etc. it looks cool but what in the hell does that have to do with how good of a drummer you are?
It seems Joey from Slipknot filled in for a while after Terry then another guy while Joey went to Rob Zombie, weird.
Charlie Adams is one of my favorite old school drummers and did the upside down spinning thing, his inspiration was Buddy as well.

[Joe08867]

Awesome, I agree one very underrated drummer. He is important in Drum circles but not the general public.

[George Grand]

Buddy would've laughed his ass off at a spinning drummer.

"If you can't sing, sing LOUD."

[agfrost]

Can anyone give the source of this quote (referencing too-large drum kits)?

"Good luck with that 29-piecer, man. Maybe one day you'll knock it up to an even 30."
