hello boys and girls,

Trust all of you enjoyed yesterdays meetup.. which I did very much, cos we all got to see up close and personal one of a rare metal drummer who has taken the leap to understanding the world and all the music it has to offer without losing sight of his musical roots.

do not be fooled by his poprock sensibility and versatility, deep down inside I see a true blue METAL SOUL...

see you guys and enjoy your sunday!! (piccies from camera will be up soon)

THE END

 

[mel80]

Thanks for the nice pics Alfe!

It was a very nicely done and informative segment by Brandon. I personally found the part when he showed how one can squeeze metal influences into pop and vice versa. What he said about gaining better understanding of a particular genre (ie. metal) after going through/playing other genres is very true. His understanding of metal grooves and odd time signatures in metal is very educational too.

Thanks for spending close almost 2 hours (woah!) of your Saturday to share your knowledge with us Brandon. I'm sure many folks here benefited much from it. Ohhh and those Paragon cymbals! *drools*


PS:
The Frummer animated pic is hilarious! Frummer the 'Chocolate Starfish' Drummer! LOL!

 

[caijunlong]

Thanks for the pictures alfe!

Brandon segment was really educational. He applied everything he learn to metal. That's really amazing. And his knowledge on odd time signatures is a killer!

Myner and Smildrumez were great too! I admire their courage to show what they know and share it with our fellow members.

Frummer! Next time can you show more LBK drumming. Haha. It brought me back to 7 years ago when I first listen to them!

 

[Frummer]

Brandon was great man.Super down to earth to... (someone please remember to replace the swearing with "lovin") ahaha...

Wah alfe you ah! haha...next time don't let you hold camera already. My image is ruined! HAHA...

Haha...Limp Bizkit...those were the days...yeah lets all get addicted to them again! haha

 

[mel80]

I dedicate this track to Frummer and caijunlong.
