was the first one historically probably (i might be wrong) kind of united (or tried to) two world back then so at the opposite. I think guiliana is like a new breed in which i cannot tell anymore if he considers jazz and rock as two separate entities or not. it seems everything is now a whole.
Regattabar, Cambridge, MA!! I was there during the concert!! :D I like the Radia cymbals... well everything he uses sounds great anyway... he's just a beast haha
Killer foot technique. For all of you who don't know... he does not play a double pedal! If you're working of great foot technique, Check out his song: Heernt Locked in a basement
Gregg Keplinger makes a large assortment of metal, big and small to play with on your drums. There's another video of Guiliana playing with his Beat band celebrating in Los Angeles the release of new album. There he uses all types of Kiplinger's metal concoctions.
@Charles Urich having no wing not or cymbal felt on top wont have any damage to the cymbal at all, no keyholing etc. However having not cymbal felt on the bottom will damage the cymbal, also having a sleever on the stand helps a ton. Not having it just allows the cymbal to be more free ring more and have easier access to the bell.
bratasa I believe his main hi hats are Sabian clicks hats, his first aux hats look like the discontinued Sabian nano hats, most likely the 9", and his stack is a Mike Portnoy max stack
on playing without top felts or wing nuts... who's down with that? any worries about keyholing ? I like the feeling of a cymbal tightened down, but that also leaves it open for stress cracks.. thoughts?
well the more you tighten the cymbal the more the sound get choked and not be resonate(even if its tightened down a little bit.) i don't know if thats why mark doesnt tighten though. Maybe he just doesn't like them....
Payne krunk is right. I don't use wing nuts unless it's for my splash or a stack cymbals. I usually use a Gibraltar plastic cymbal sleeve with a felt on the bottom to prevent my cymbals from Keyholing and to make my cymbals sing more.
Wingnuts and Felts only have to do with the movement of the cymbal. If you tighten the cymbal down too much then it's more likely to crack. Keyholing comes the cymbal rubbing against the metal cymbal post, but these days all stands have plastic sleeves that prevent. I don't personally use felts or wingnuts because I feel like the felt gets in the way of the bell and changes the tone ever so slightly.
The first one, McCaslin said it was a new song, I forgot the title, he played at least another 2 new songs if I'm not mistaken. The second one was Stadium Jazz.
+Max Sergeant That may be so, but if any one of us peasants wants to buy something similar that will more than likely produce the same effects on the snare/hat/whatever, the Ching Ring is what you want. They're $15. Looks like he may have two of them taped together or something.
Think I know what you mean but I think you need to assign a difficulty-level, like ice-skating. Mark sets himself for failure in two big ways - 1) by playing with dry sounds and stacatto phrasing, 2) by leaving space in weird places and making Picasso-like shapes. It's always easier to play "wet" with a lot of cymbals and open hats on every quarter, and nobody will ever complain about your pocket, or "loose", with some ambiguity built in. John Riley once told me I should work on a "big beat", because it allows more wiggle room for other players to fit in and still sound good. mark has deliberately staked out a post as the "narrow beat guy", and I think 99 times out of 100 his time's dead-solid-perfect, probably more than most drummers, but if something doesn't fit, it stands out.
