Far Cough 8:12 Tue Jun 30 A lot of metal drummers are staggering at the human metronome thing. Gene Hoglan is the best at it - he is not called the Atomic clock for nothing and it is fucking impressive. I am good at it too. Recorded with a couple of bands where I had to to play stacatto bang in time and it sounded like it had been sampled. Much prefer playing around the beat as it creates more tension. John Bonham was brilliant at it playing ever so slightly behind it. Bootsy Collins too - bang on the one but the rest is for fun.

"I was a marching band drummer, so I had to keep the marching beat but for rock music in fact all music, how does the drummer keep a consistent beat, do they have an in ear metronome ?"

"zebthecat 12:22 Tue Jun 30 I played with a drummer for a while who was the son of a successful pro, but unfortunately had inherited none of his Dad's talent. The funny thing was he would come back in to the beat out of time after a roll, but always out by the same amount. In the end the band tuned into this and would also come back in out of time, but all together. I was chatting to another guitarist who had played with him separately, and he said his other band did exactly the same thing!"

"Us bass players are underrated. My two faves are Lemmy and Bootsy Collins for abviously different reasons. I have mostly played in Metal, Prog, Psych and Rock bands but have also played Funk and Reggae. The best fun I had actually playing was in a Reggae band where I depped for a few gigs as their bass player went back to Jamaica for a wedding and I happened to working on a building site at the time with the guitarist and music came up inc conversation. The only times where I was the only white guy in the rooom. It was such fun just sticking with the groove and I really clicked with the drummer (one of only four who I did - you'd be amazed how many drummers have absolutely no sense of groove at all)."

"A lecture about the work of Jakobson on Russian and Slavic language evolution. Over half of it is gone, and it's just started on Jakobson's work. Admittedly, Jakobson's escape from the Nazis is a story worth hearing, but the rest of the ""pre-lecture"" was a bit annoying. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTuJiCOy3yE"

"General Choi 3:16 Sun Jun 28 Fair play to them, I'd be crapping myself playing on stage with that much pyro going on. It might be top level pros organising and operating it, but the potential for a huge fiery cock-up is always there!"
