| Multiple Choices on Drummers | 5 years ago |
Oh no.... another silly poll  I'm going with Bonzo. His grooves were just rock solid and so interesting. Keith Moon was, of course, great and he had a unique approach but sometimes it was a little too much. Ringo was a human metronome and the perfect drummer for the group. And Baker brought a jazzy vibe to the rock groove which was very cool. But Bonham had just amazing independence and great chops yet he could lay down the simple grooves too that really fit the song and unified the sound. |

| Most important decade for music? | 5 years ago |
| Scott Joplin wrote the Maple Leaf Rag in 1899 it became an international "jazz" hit. But getting back to the topic, for me the rock music of the 70's is the most enjoyable but in terms or "importance" I'd have to say the 50's since that was near the birth of rock and without it's birth there would be no growth. |

| I guess the confusion here is because in the UK it was released as a double A 7" but in the US it was released as Penny Lane on the A side and Strawberry Fields on the B side. I actually HAVE the single |

Modernistas wrote: So here's what I'm getting at: I have no formal musical training and play strictly by ear. I know what sounds good to me but I don't really know why it does. I feel like lack of knowledge of theory is presenting a brick wall. The really short version is this- I'm looking for a starting point. I picked up a Berklee method book, but I'm curious as to any suggestions you guys have about where I should start or recommendations for resources. It would be a huge help! thanks! I'd say the best place to start would be with the local music teacher. Find someone in your area to help you learn what you want. It all comes out of the instrument. Just my .02cents |

| Best or worst GIG STORIES!! | 6 years ago |
| Hey Jeff yeah! It was a one shot deal a fill in. He usually used this guy named Ruby or Red I can't remember too well. But Sun Ra went through alooot of horn players his gig was a revolving door(you could have easily played with him too!) and he had this big old house not far from where I live now that was an open jam session all the time. It was really some good times. These were the last years of his life and he was still having fun making music. But the gig payed like next to nothing. I think I made like 33 bucks that night! Really this area is a real breeding ground for great players. The Brecker Brothers grew up around here and they have a sister who is a great piano player. And I taught her 2 sons music for years. Unfortunately everyone just sort of migrates to NYC and you just lose touch. |

| Best or worst GIG STORIES!! | 6 years ago |
| I file this one under....the musical twilight zone.... So it's the early 80's and I'm new in town(Philly) and I'm "sitting in" at all the jazz clubs giving my card out and one bass player says "you free on Sat." I say sure. Next day he calls asks if I can fill in for him on a Sun Ra "hit" You familiar with his stuff? Sure sure, I lie. Get there an hour early he tells me... Anyway Get to the job and Sun Ra wants to see me. He's in the band room dressed in these elaborate sparkly robes with this outer space hat...what a trip. He looks me over. He doesn't look to happy. "You want me to play something" I say. He frowns and motions to his little helper? assistant? The little helper dood opens this gigantic steamer trunk pulls out a bizarre purple feathered cap all sparkly with crystals and stuff pasted on and what not. "Put it on man" he says. So I put the hat on and Sun Ra's face lights up and he shakes my hand and says "Ok now you're ready to play!" |

| Hey guys loving this thread! Great stories. Ah the musicians life! Well I have a few, from disasters to hilarity. From popping 2 bass strings in the middle of a solo to playing an outdoor venue with the mosquitos swarming to drunken bar brawls with chairs flying and having to run for your life. I guess one of the funniest is when I was hooked up with this Italian wedding band. (usually I just freelance...but the leader made me an offa hehe) anyway, Last set and we were just pumping out the disco....stayin alive stayin alive...and the girls were dancing like mad and there was this one lady in particular, wearing a tight strapless red dress, a very revealing garment I may add, who had captured alot of attention. Well the groom who was very drunk, we all were....it was a partay...approached her from behind and just pulled her top straight down and exposed her. Well she did not seem to mind! Not at all! They started dancing and laughing, the groom was enjoying it very much and was even taking some "liberties" with her. The bride, not too happy, out of nowhere had grabbed the wedding cake she launched it at the groom. Well all hell broke loose...and I just remember me and the drummer just literally rolling on the floor...what a scene! |

| compression | 6 years ago |
| well you need some compression. Compression will fatten the sound. But too much and it sticks out of the mix and sounds like it was recorded in another time zone. You know how kids like to stick there faces against the window and they look kinda cute. But if they really squash their faces hard against the glass they look like monsters....well that's too much compression. |

| Thoughts on loops | 6 years ago |
| Here's my take on loops. To me they are like fancy metronomes. I'll set up a drum loop and just practice over it. In this way I get into some good practice sessions which leads eventually to compositional ideas So for me loops are very useful as a starting tool. |
