Drummers Aren’t Musicians But Some Drummers Are

King of Feel

I got sucked into this video by “Rain” which I love… never heard it until college because it wasn’t on our Beatles ’62-’66 8-track tape.

Percussion be with you.

Happy Who Day everyone!

Largo, Maryland from the tail end of the US Quadrophenia tour, 1973. Rhythm section is on a mission here.
Sorry it cuts out at the end.

Power, precision, feel, taste. And Headon plays like a true musician, coming up with lots of interesting patterns within the same song.

Exhibit A

Exhibit B

Same old story.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go listen to Fables of the Reconstruction, my introduction to these guys.

Lee Iacocca brought us so much great music.

A revved up Ooh Poo Pah Doo and a great cover of I Gotta Dance to Keep From Crying.

Are you a mod or a rocker?

A lot going on here that I missed when I first listened.
My compliments to everyone involved.

This rhythm section kicked major ass, and Mr. McCartney was obviously paying close attention to James Jamerson by Rubber Soul.

Best YouTube comment:

The craziest part about Paul’s basslines is that, at least on Rubber Soul and before, he was playing and singing this LIVE with no monitors.
