| Well the last concert I went to was Hot Chip (great band), but no drummer as it's 5 guys with Synths.
So.... I've mentioned Charles Hayward already (in the favourite drummers thread).
I guess I should mention The Magic Band (as in Captain Beefheart and the....), seen them 3 times in the UK now and have been utterly blown away each time, the music's great for a start - I'm a huge fan of Beefheart. The drumming was awesome - Drumbo (John French) behind the kit for a few songs doing his crazy offbeat hi-hat thing and insane tom work, then Michael Traylor pounding them like a trooper. Some of the beats are so odd - in fact some of the music is, but somehow it all sits together and rocks!
Managed to get a stick from both of them. Ace! |
