My nomination for Things That Are Sick: Drum Solos/Really Good Drum Parts.
I’ve only fiddled around on drums, which is another way of saying i sufficiently embarrassed myself trying to keep a simple beat. it’s wild how these guys can throw their whole body into their instrument, seemingly out of control, while also stay in perfect time. drum solos live rent free in my head in a way unlike most guitar dolos. I can’t forget the first time i heard the live version of Moby Dick, Pert doing Pert things, Gene making a double bass roll sound as effortless as water out of a faucet, or Freese drumming his way to the center of the earth.
Hell, just the other day the algorithm fed me this Buddy rich solo. He’s a name I’ve heard but not familiar with and this ~50 year old recording made one side of my body droopy. Drums are sick.
