OK.

First, yes, this guy’s fashion sense is abominable. I mean, look at this get up….

But, man, can he play. His physical abilities matched with musical ones would make any self-respecting drummer or drumming fan twist over double backward. This clip is from one of his recent DVD tutorials and is just a snippet….

Watch his foot speed and overall ability to mess with the time with blinding skill and accuracy. Thomas Lang, you make me ill.

You know, as much as I love WP (and I do) I can’t understand how code goes rogue out of nowhere.

My Lightbox plugin is barfing on my pages adding gobbledygook code on live pages and I have 0 time until later to fix it.

What’s up with you WP?

Because it’s Friday, and well…this song still rocks.

Enjoy.

To a lot of drummers, Vinnie Colaiuta is a gold standard to gauge one’s abilities against.

For some.

Some of us, myself included, realize we will never be this kind of player or simply do not ascribe to be this kind of player. That said, even though I know this about myself I can appreciate his greatness and do. Often.

Here’s a clip of a fusionoid super group called Karizma with mega players like Michael Landau on guitar, Neil Stubbenhouse on bass and Dave Garfield on keys.

My man Vinnie obviously is slamming away on the tubs.

Google has dropped yet another bomb on the internet world with a new platform for collaboration called Wave.

It’s a merge of email, IM and social media under one construct with a host of API’s for developers to now leverage those API’s for inclusion into their own sites and for them to also make their own services and extensions with it.

The entire preso can be seen below:

It’s truly fascinating and represents the next revolution online.

How can Nine Inch Nails go away when they play this fiercely?

I’m bummed I will miss this tour but I think Trent might want to reconsider the notion of retiring the live show.

Great game last night.

Kobe owned the game, the rest of the crew jumped on his back and my man D Fish dropped bombs at the right times.

Denver is clearly an animal of a team though and this is going to be a long series.

I recently got back in touch with some favorite musician’s from my musical formative years.

Part of that includes favorite rock drummers from the late 70’s and 80’s and Bobby Rondinelli is near the top of that list.

Here’s a solo from a few years back with his band The Lizards:

Such a great showman.
Enjoy.

Just watch this interview from 1981 with Tom Snyder.

We need bands to have integrity again:

Bring em back!

I am looking so very, very forward to watching this:

Have fun.
