Jon Theodore is a modern drummer that has a lot of the Tony Williams DNA going on. Of course, Tony Wiliams is his own player, but Theodore comes really, really close. Check out his work with The Mars Volta and Golden. He's currently in Queens of the Stone Age, but unfortunately is pretty underutilized in that band.

I've heard some drummers say Tony's solos were just so-so. To me, that just shows that they really don't understand what it is that he is doing with those chops. He is an absolute beast. I heard a bootleg solo of him many years ago, and it was all very low volume with some incredible speed. To do a solo like that at low volume is no easy task, and I challenge all the naysayers to try to emulate what Tony did on the traps. Just incredible!!

I never understood what all the fuzz was about. I guess it can only be a good movie for people who aren't drummers, just like how any movie about science fiction probably pisses off every scientist.

@Nosrednawdrummer 7 жыл бұрын

I''m a drummer and I actually love the movie. The soundtrack is amazing. If you check the story, you'll see it's pretty reliable for the fact that many jazz musicians suffered stress by other people, including Buddy Rich. The movie wasn't supposed to explore drumming technique with too much coherence.

@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 7 жыл бұрын

wanderson167 agree. Every great drummer I know is old enough to have been taught in that brutal way. I don't know of any who ever had bleeding hands from drummimg, tho. I think the less finished sticks chafe more, at least on me. I like enormous, high gloss Firth HS1 Highlanders, sadly discontinued >:(( The film makes me uncomfortable because a lot of women were in situations with men like that.

+Lorenz Müller My original comment was trash it was completely wrong i dont know what i was thinking R RL B - 1. Right hand on smaller rack tom (right hand goes underneath left hand, which should be raised above the large tom in ready position for playing the next flam) 2. Flam on larger rack tom (starting with right hand then left) 3. Bass drum note Repeat really fast. I think that might be the easiest and most correct way to interpret that.
