Wow! George Lawrence Stone wish I came up with that one! Nice catch!
Jazz drummer Joe Morrello started taking lessons from Stone when he was sixteen. "Every lesson was a joy to go to," Morello said. "If you did something wrong, he had a way of letting you know about it, but without belittling...
I get what you're saying but what about a song like Sugar Sugar? To me it's the simple upbeat melody and hooks that drove that song to number one in 69. The words could have been anything so long as the vocals were sung in the same manner. But of course there are a million songs we could each...
Croman,
My original post:
"Kind of a spin off from the Where Do You Live State. But other than yourself what well known drummers are from your home state or facimile there of?"
Being from The Commonwealth of Massachusetts I just had to respond.😁
I liked the fact they used so many different musicians and some you wouldn't expect like Paul Humphreys, like Hal Blaine, like Rick Derringer. I thought that was cool.
It seems to me that for the most part in regard to pop music it's the music that sells the song and not the lyrics. In religious music it's often the opposite.
I think sometimes in the moment, or in this case the era, of something like music one may feel somewhat contemptuous for the current situation. Music that I thought sucked years ago when it was new now I look back on only to realize there was a lot of great music which at the time I just wasn't...

Well from the snorting of the ants to the four wheeler accident and every sordid episode before, in between, and after it's safe to say Ozzy lasted a lot longer than many expected.
Rick Marotta said he used a Slingerland snare once owned by Buddy Rich for Peg. But that's the only drum he uses on the song so he didn't play the kit supplied which he didn't speak well of.
From the article:
“‘Your Gold Teeth II’ is a song with lots of bars of 3/8. 6/8. and 9/8. And it’s bebop! I could swing the cymbal beat and fake it, but that always bothered me. After recording it, Fagen gave me a Charles Mingus record with Dannie Richmond on drums. It had a tune that was full...
Maybe he should use smaller venues. I saw Don Felder last year in a place that was about 1500 people and it was great. Not saying Felder by himself is on par with Miller but Steve's about 80 and isn't going to fill up bigger venues.
