yeah. he definitely had his own style. it was as if he learned how to play drums without ever using a hi hat. lots of strange rolling snare patterns for the verses then crashing on that one cymbal for the chorus.GussyLoveridge wrote: Thu May 06, 2021 6:17 pmThese guys were so good. Drummer was awesome. Played drums like I'd never really seen before at the point in my life. I played in a band that played a few shows with them on the East coast of Canada (where I'm from) some 20 years ago or so. The Redshift/Halifax 7" is awesome. Some of those dudes played in a band called Blake before that and one called Holding Pattern after that. (I think they had to eventually change their name?) Awesome stuff. I mean, I like it and still spin that stuff.akosinski wrote: Wed May 05, 2021 9:59 pm there used be a band from canada called Rockets Red Glare that had a drummer who only used one cymbal. combination ride crash. he was a beast.
for a long time i did the same because i could only afford one
Sorry if I'm derailing this thread. I was just so excited to see this.
Also for what it's worth. I played a lot of gigs with some AA 14" hats and AA 20" Ride. The not shiny ones. I liked them well enough that I kept them and still use them for recording and live regularly. Maybe I'm just used to them.
Have we talked about North of America? I helped them book shows in the late 90s in Indiana, and have been great pals with their drummer/guitarist (Michael Catano) every since. He was also in "The Plan". He also brought "Wooden Stars" to Indiana as well.Mason wrote: Thu May 06, 2021 8:36 pm Not familiar with Rockets Red Glare. But speaking of the east coast, I officially adopted the one-cymbal move after I saw North of America a few years ago, roughly the same time I was needing to go cymbal shopping. Plus there was Kurt Dahle out west. It's a Canadian thing!
