I saw him live with John Zorn. The parts with Mike Patton got surprisingly heavy. Fantastic concert. I am not a big fan of a tonally tuned bass drum. But this resonant sound here is really nice. And his cymbals are tonally matched so brilliantly.
Hi Gary, now that is drum set artistry! Joey plays on an album by Marc Johnson called ‘The Sound of Summer Running’, well worth seeking out. Just a beautiful record and of course Joey is brilliant. Thanks again for your channel.
Garey there are lots of drummers you anlysise and its very uplifting and enjoyable. Then there is cats like Joey Barren whom I saw live here in Ireland many many years ago and I don't know why I even bother sitting behind my drums thanks
Thanks for the intruduction of a great drummer. Its fun to listing to your videos. I am learning lots about diffrent drumming styles. Greetings from Sweden..
Gary being a life long drummer but certainly not anyone of the professional talent I’m wondering what the meaning was with the pieces of tape that was placed on the cymbal around 2/3rds through the presentation? Love your site.
Most likely to deaden sound the tape stops the cymbal from ringing so the sound is more long then wash. Old timers also used a rag or cloth on them or even chopping a notch shaped like a v on them.
I think the tape was used to hold the coins on the cymbals for a sizzle sound when playing ballads and just to have sustain under the stick sound. It may also be used to dampen the cymbal sound some. That's my guess. I hope that helps. Thanks!
@@DrumsetArtistry I had an uncle who played with prima he started me with my first drum set an old yellowed white mother of pearl wfl the only cymbal he had was this small zildjian that had a notch cut out on it. He told me that the old timers did this to muffle the cymbal and cut resonance or used gap tape. If they wanted sizzle and couldn’t afford rivets they used thin chain draped over bell. Later on in drum history a company made aluminum frame that attached to the threaded screw post on cymbal stand with arms that could lift the attached rivets off or on the cymbal. I still have a bent up one. He also used the floor Tom as an ash tray to hold his cigs. The calf skin had burn holes on it when I got the drum. I still have that drum retrofitted with remo head. More modern jazz drummers learn how to play lightly or use a flat ride that won’t cut through the band too much or switch to a ping ride. Older drums like my Rogers have a built in muffler Ludwig and others did too. If you’re really into small band jazz check out jeff Hamilton who can play as light as a feather or blast away. Playing lightly is as much a skill as any other method of drumming. The only way I can do it is with really light sticks. Even then I get carried away with the music and eventually someone tells me to play softer. Lots of jazz drummers use all kinds of techniques that aren’t flashy or has a wow factor but if you really watch and hear what they do it’s amazing. Garry knows all about jeff but lots of folks on her may not. Check out his recordings live with Dianna Krall or with bassist ray brown for some insanely good tasteful drumming and bass
@@larrymarcus3176 I still have one of those rivet attacments for a ride cymbal. Great memories using that a long time ago. Playing soft requires I high leve of technique and experience. I studied with Jeff Hamilton and he even wrote the Forward to my book, Drummer's Guide to Big Band. Thank for sharing, Larry!
