I’ve been a fan of Stanton’s for a while now, his resume to those that know him is well known. Founding member of Galactic, leader of the Stanton Moore Trio, session great and master clinician. Also, he is a favorite son of the great city of New Orleans and is considered [...]
I haven’t talked too much about drummers or music in a while. But I came across this video teaser for Motley Crue’s own Tommy Lee and his crazy new spin (literally) on drum solos.
Seriously, love him or hate him, you cannot deny the man is unique and totally, 100% undeniably INSANE.
Who else would [...]
While I was blissfully hiking over this past weekend, the music world and more specifically, the world of drummers lost a truly gifted player named Richie Hayward.
If you’re in the know, then you know he was/is/forevershallbe the indomitable rhythmic spirit of the great Little Feat. If you’re not in the know, I suggest you [...]
My band Dull Boy Jack played at our good friends SwellPath’s last big 1st Thursday gathering for Summer 2010. We had the pleasure of playing it last summer and had a great time doing so.
Last year we took a more calculated approach playing specific set lengths and trying to [...]
Back in June, Dull Boy Jack competed in the Cascade Blues Association’s “Journey to Memphis” 3 day event.
The competition draws blues bands from all over the western United States and is usually the best time to catch hot West Coast blues bands doing their thing with the winner travelling to [...]
Last week at my weekly Dull Boy Jack rehearsal I thought I’d experiment with my iPhone.
Propped it up behind me (though the angle turned out to be a little odd) and came up with this performance for “Hoochie Koochie Man”.
Sound quality is suspect but it was a fun experiment.
Been a while since I got to play outdoors but this summer is shaping up nicely. Kicked off summer with a Closed Captioned gig this past weekend at Bethany Vineyards in Ridgefield, Washington.
We played 3 long sets to many drinkers of wine and consumers of buffet food. Was perfect weather, 70 degrees [...]
I give you for Friday, the genius of Tony Royster Jr.
His skills are well known and his talent prodigious.
What I like is how happy he looks when he plays.
He seems completely connected to the instrument and brings so much passion to his playing. He gets a lot of flack from some [...]
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….

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 [...]
