Solo transcription: Joey Baron – Goldfish
Joey Baron’s solo over a 7/4 vamp on Goldfish, from Dave Douglas’s 1997 album Stargazer, to which I’m listening a lot this week. There’s not a ton of drumistic content to it, it’s more of […]
Daily best music in the world: early 90s zeitgeist
Here’s a record I almost forgot about, that had a big impact on the way I play the drums. From 1988-90, David Sanborn was the leading guy getting new and eclectic music to a (reasonably) […]

DBMITW: my fat bass drum
Just sharing a little piece of my own development here. From the early 90’s, until I finally submitted to the too-soft, you-don’t-really-want-drums-on-this-gig-do-you craze of the mid-oughts, I played a 20″ Gretsch bass drum with Remo […]
