I`ve played drums in a rock band for 35 years,I love all types of music!I agree with Carl there aren`t many recorded rock music these days that are done well, here are a few that I think sound good. Alan Parson Project most of them anyway, Bruce Cockburn`s stuff is done very well, DEAD CAN`T DANCE all of them, Chick Corea Akoustic Band, the live one is great ,the studio one sounds good as well, some of the stuff from Frank Gambale is done real good,I also like some of the ones done by Bill Bruford, the last two were killer, the new one from Steely Dan is done very well. Vital Information the last three were very good,as well as Steve Smith`s last two outings, I just love music,I love to play it and hear it at home , at 48 and still breaking sticks and heads!!!!! love it, just plain love it!!!!!

Carl,yes that is the same dude who played with Journey, I do think he got some of his start from Jean Luc Ponty a few years back. I don`t know him personaly, but the guy who ran the sound crew at gig a few years ago said he was a pain in the ass to work with, Murry did sound for the Eagles, and Jean Luc Ponty ,he off the road doing a gig in Charlston at a big jazz club , he sure did a great job on my Pearl MASTERS KIT, the drums sounded great, the bass drums would ripe your head off. IMHO, means in my humble opinion. do have any Steve Smith cds? if you want a list , let me know. Greg |
To Carl, yes I do have some hearing loss, back in the days we didn`t think much about that sort thing, you just got out there and played your soul out for the sake of music. Now to give you some of Stive Smith`s stuff,Vital Information "RAY OF HOPE" here`s one I like from him "THE STRANGER HAND" a new one with some great players on it, he has a few from Steps Ahead, the one they did "live in Tokyo 1986" is great, he`s done a few with Kit Walker. I wear ear protection now on my gigs to keep it to a level I will live with. Greg |
Carl, I don`t know if you`ve got the other Steve Smith`s CDs I`ve told you about ,But today I`ve picked a new one from him that was very good, its called Buddy`s Buddies, there sure is some great playing on this CD .Let me know if you picked up any of them. Greg |
Carl , thats cool, just thought of letting you know about Steve`s new one. Hey have you tried the Omega Mikcro power cord ? I just got some of there A-2 interconnects and they were KILLER on my system,I hear there power cords are great too! Oh yea, go to audio asylum.com and look what they are saying about the new way to use the maggies, you`ll have a ball with this one. Greg |
I wanted to let you know of another CD that makes music, its from Mickey Hart Plant Drum, called Supralingua, he has got people from all over the world to do this music, if this doesn`t make you tap your feet, you should check your pulse, YOU MIGHT BE DEAD!!!!! Greg |
Garfish, I use both formats because I have alot of LPs , I quit buying LPs along time ago, when CDs came out I was taken by there easy use and there dead quite back ground, later I started to hear what people were saying about the format, I had a maplenoll turntable and a grado cartridge at the time and it sounded better than the CD player, today I`am not so sure the big lead turntables have over CD is there as it once was ,I say this because I beleive CDs have made some head way in the format over the years and have come close if not surpass LPs in some ways. I buy music, I really don`t care to much about the format wars that go on these days if I find the music I want on cd, thats great, if I find it on LPs, that just as good to me. I love music, I play it, I live it, I enjoy hearing it all the time, live as well as recorded, its all music to me!!!!!! Greg |
I got anthoer CD today that I wanted you guys to hear or if you know very much about them, they are Medeski, Martin, and WOOD, These guys just rock, there music is so cool, it sounds like jazz and rock and fusion, does anyone know about these guys? Greg |
BIbloom, thanks I`ll check those out , I really like these guys alot, its to bad I didn`t catch them sooner. Greg |
