Listen to caravan and get where this cat is coming from. He's like the Sun Ra of straight ahead drummers. Anyway until you get a cat like Art Blakey you don't get it at all. Not to say we all don't maKE SENSE IN OUr OWN LITTLE WAYS. i TRADED IN MY gretsch CATAL;INAS FOR A LUDWIG quESTLOVE BREAKBEAT KIT.today on a whim
18 " to a 16" bass drum. how small can they get. Still got my 20" tama royalstars for funk, may sell my 22" pacific fusion kit.
I've been playing straight ahead jazz with the young upstarts in my area and it's kickin my ass. listening to coltrane Blakey everything straight ahead for encouragement and ideas. It's exciting and challenging. It is making me study the old tunes and get them under my belt and they have originals everything. knocks out all the barriers and opens up wide open spaces. really basic swinging with all the tricks.
