Just got back from the clinic, and boy was it a blast!!! plenty of yeah??? all around all night long :lol:
to share with softies who missed it, Will shared something really useful in terms of a toolbox for drummers when they walk into a studio for recording or for session work.
He spoke of 3 things in the toolbox:
- playing the beat (which is communicated to you by the producer or songwriter)
- playing less than the beat, and
- playing contrary to the beat
the picture is far clearer demonstrated (by the legend himself, no less) but the above is the gist of it.
You could feel he was possessed by the Spirit, letting it power him and drive him as he played, spoke, joked, sang and generally getting crowd grooving along with him.
It was a great time, and a great experience, especially the last part where he playfully ribbed, encouraged the rest of the musicians into taking solos and get themselves 'kicking', while he provided some of the most intense solo highlights of the night, all within the flo' no less.
incredible *salute*
a warm thank you to everyone who made it possible (it gets said all the time, but it must be said still), tan boon, who despite everything still makes it happen, and even tries no matter how to make sure there are some freebies and lucky draw at every clinic *salute*
cheers and see you all tomorow for part deuX!!!!!
