In 1984 the drummer in my high school band had been only playing for a year, but picked it up quick. He was at a music store in Denver jamming on an electric kit, and a guy came up and told him “You’re really good man, how long have you been playing?” Dave told him “Thanks! About a year.” The guy was shocked he had only been playing for a year. They talked a while, and he said “Well, good to meet you, I’m Terry Bozzio.” True story.

It was the early 1990’s, Houston, TX, at “The Drum, Keyboard, Guitar Shop”. Saw Terry Bozzio’s melodic drumming clinic. It was life changing; I wanted to be the last out the door so I could ask a few questions, but the person in front of me was a very young boy that wanted to know how to play a drum roll, and Terry showed him, step by step. It was beautiful, and let me in on what a kind soul looks like. Thank you for the inspiration.

To answer your question about the audience at the US 83 Festival, I was there. I had seen Terry Bozzio with UK in Rochester, NY in the fall of 1978 when they toured with Jethro Tull. To see him a few years later with Missing Persons was a real treat! Terry is always mind blowing to listen to. Crazy talent. And yes, for many in the audience, the up-scaled live version exceeded our expectations! Great band and what a stage presence Dale brought. Fantastic concert. I went with a good friend. We drove down from the Bay Area and met some girls from Novato for the weekend. Best concert ever! Bozzio was beast!

Terry is probably the most “Different” drummer I have ever heard in my entire life. I bought the U.K “Danger Money” album, because my uncle had recommended it. He had just seen UK at the Philadelphia Spectrum, and said he had never seen such amazing drumming like that before. And he was a huge Bill Bruford fan at the time. If you listen to the beginning of Caesar’ s Palace Blues on the Danger Money album it’s one of the greatest openings to a song I’ve ever heard from a drummer. Pure genius!!!!

I remember seeing Missing Persons at The Capitol Theatre in Passaic NJ in early 1983 and being completely blown away and so happy that the drums were up front and not part of the backline. With all due respect to Dale Bozzio's skimpy outfits, I couldn't take my eyes off of Terry - had to see what he was going to do next. His slight frame belied a strategic power erupting underneath while always contained but riding the line of redlining the meters or cracking a head or cymbal. What I witnessed was drumming like I had never seen before and nearly never again.

A favorite show of all time for me was seeing Terry play the Heavy Metal Be-Bop tour in 1978 with The Brecker Brothers at the Jazz Workshop (or it could have been Paul’s Mall) at 733 Boylston Street. Genius player. The room was packed with Berklee drum students, who were awed by Terry’s performance. I’ll never forget that night. The Heavy Metal Be-Bop album has been a perennial listening favorite of mine since its release in 1978. Thanks Terry for the musical and innovative playing concepts you’ve shared with the world over your long career.

At 19:13 when Terry mentions Jimmy with Josh, Terry is referring to Josh Freese. Jimmy and Josh played together in a band that had two drummers. They performed regularly (multiple times a week) on that stage at Disneyland in the 1980s that rose up out of the ground. Famous drummers would watch the band play since it was so drum-heavy. Jeff Porcaro especially used to visit and yell up to the stage to get Jimmy's attention. How do I know this? I was there watching all of this in-person. Maybe some of you were there, too. Anyone else?

The band was Polo. I saw this band one time on a trip to Disney with my family. I was from Kansas, and played guitar in a top 40 cover band and I was completely blown away at how good Polo was. Especially the two drummers. I didn’t know who they were and it wasn’t until many years later, and many google searches, that I was able to figure out Jimmy and Josh. Jimmy is easily one of my favorite drummers these days. I love hearing these two talk is just amazing.

The 2nd time I saw Fantomas at the Leadmill in Sheffield in 2005, Terry was the drummer as Dave Lombardo was touring with Slayer.

@FanaticDrummer 2 жыл бұрын
Right? You would never see a British person brag about having a small vocabulary lol So I think drummers are just intimidated and insecure about playing more, with more drums. Imagine hearing sentences with 4 words, thats what these minimalist drummers do. Its also why they dont reinvent the wheel or have signature sounds. You’re using the same canvas stroke for stroke thats been done. Its ok to have a ton of cymbals and drums, it is never sonically boring and opens up your creativity as a musician. Not a “beat” drummer. I think beat drummers pick up drums as a skill and look at the check. But get personally defensive about drummers who explore the drums as a percussionist like Terry does. You can have a ton of cymbals and a few drums or a ton of drums and a few cymbals. Either way, use sentences. Not genre dictated stigmas.
@MegaMikeArnold 2 жыл бұрын
There's nothing inherently wrong with either "less is more" or more is best" perspectives regarding hardware; sonic creativity as a drummer in particular is not necessarily dependent on anything so much as a heart for the music (and the musicality of percussive instrumentation) and a good set of ears(!) for the most part. Of course you need some technique, some skills and drummers like Terry are particularly fortunate to have it all. But remember that like bop, technical virtuosity is really meant to strike a primary chord (pardon the pun) with fellow musicians and not the average listener. To each his own but feel (which precedes groove) is the stuff of magic and it can't be taught or practiced, no matter how many or how few the number of drums or cymbals; as Terry suggests here it comes frome "somewhere" and is the essence of a God-given natural talent that connects with other similarly talented musicians AND listeners alike. Thank you guys for putting Terry front and center again and many thanks to you Terry. A humble but remarkable musical genious you are indeed.

Dale came out and talked to the handful of us early arrivals and signed autographs. I was front and center for the show and air drummed throughout. After the show, Terry pointed at me and gave a drum stick to Dale to give to me. She came over and gave it to me by hand, ensuring I got it among the throngs of fans reaching for it. Then on the way home, I think I drove by the after-party at Katz on 6th Street, the 12" version of Give blasting from the speakers of my Mustang! A night I'll never forget. MP was awesome, my favorite band at the time by far!

The irony of Terry having the smallest kit in the room lol I also love the inspiration of Terrys Zappa solo that influenced Portnoys most famous drum solo of the 90’s. They’re so similar its great.

Still one of my favorite drumming performances. Unfortunately I was only able to see Terry play once but he was absolutely mesmerizing! Playing with Jeff beck and Tony hymas on bass!

I’m not a drummer but I had the same reaction after seeing Terry play with Jeff Beck @the Forum on a double bill with SRV in the later 80’s. On that particular tour each band would alternate fronting for the other each night. I came for Stevie, but Terry left an indelible impression I carry to this day and wanted to return the next night just for Terry’s drumming alone… jaw dropping performance and energy that still garners thoughts “if Neil is ‘the professor’, what is Terry?” I’ve not seen Terry play in any other format but he was simply mind blowing and owned the stage that night and told me there was much more to drumming than I’d assumed to this point. Hope I didn’t bore anybody with this story.

@@jimgeneva2464 Yes!!! Jeff, way past earning his stripes letting Terry own that show… such a statesman. And SRV goes without saying- we all know. We were lucky to catch this once in a lifetime show.

Man I was always impressed by his drumming when he was with Missing Persons! His drumming made the band complete! I don’t know why he gasped when he saw the name “Missing Persons!” I always loved that band and their music! New wave was really the 80s and still to me the best music! He’s awesome!👌😎👍by the way I still have a few of their albums in “cassette!”

Growing up I remember the drum crew in marching band always listening and trying to imitate Terry. I wasn’t a drummer but always loved watching videos you did and of course the massive drum sets! Also Terry I love that your daughter Marina is continuing the legacy. Aldious is awesome!!!

Bassist here, first time I saw Terry live was with Jeff Beck on the Guitar Shop tour with SRV in the late '80s. When you can steal the show from the almighty Jeff Beck, then you're the real deal.

Your commentary is way above my head, but I’ve listened to music most of my life. Over and over. Some musicians bang on their instrument others actually teach their instruments to hit every note and beyond. Now that I am older, I know every lyric, pause, the climb to the mountain…..and I hear it. Drummers are part of the glue that make the song cosmic. This is such an art and I humbly thank you for bringing such great emotion into my life ❤❤❤❤
