Thomas Pridgen from The Mars Volta. The dude is just sick :rock http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjrSihEI5CI



Not sure of band member's names here, but a few from The Mars Volta were in At the Drive-Inn as well..
Both are great bands! :rock

Lars is boring as hell..

There are some WAY better double bass players out there

Man, I just don't see the fascination with double bass period.  In my opinion, it doesn't do much for the music..  Granted, there is some stuff out there that
really just wouldn't sound right without.....Slayer or even tOOL for instance....But I think in a majority of cases, it's been over used...
It's just my opinion, but I'm not entirely a fan of double base..  Sure, there are loads of things you can do, but I've always been a single kick hi-hat type of guy..
Most guys who use double bass(with the except of guys like Dave Lombardo and Danny Carey) always got there damn feet on the bass peddles and almost
NEVER touch the hi-hat..  Or what I find amusing are guys like Nick Mason for Pink Floyd who has two bass drums just for show..  Listen to his live performances
or even studio recordings and you will never hear any double bass technique at all...  For that matter, listen to Pulse and you'll see he uses practically the
same fill in every song...  Has great timing though and that's what is key for that type of music.. 

Everyone knows Nicko McBrain plays with one peddle..  I've heard people say he used a double kick peddle on songs like The Wicker Man, The Ghost of the Navigator the live
version he plays of The Phantom of the opera..  He does stuff with one peddle that a lot of guys can't even do with 2 peddles...  Double Bass...... Meh...

For those of you that know of the Funk Brothers.  The remaining Drummer for the Funk Bros. Uriel Jones passed away Tuesday.

If you wish to hear a sample of his work the old MoTown tune Shotgun by Junior Walker is one of his best....among many.

He is one of the hardest hitting drummers I have ever heard on record.   He bests Stewart Copeland in that aspect and he is known for breaking snare heads in Concert.   But Uriel, is a saddened loss.

Haj, you and I should've tried to work out a way to go to that concert last.   7 rows from them.    :(

Karaya you were right.....we won't see them anymore.  Very few left.  And now no drummer.

A legend is slowly passing away that many have heard but do not recognize.

Many view them as just MoTown but they were Jazz Musicians first and always.

When they started at MoTown they considered it moonlighting.

I was hoping to go through all the pages without seeing Lars Urich mentioned but I was dissapointed lol.

Lars is a decent drummer, I give him that much. However, throughout the years, I have lost ALOT of respect for not only him, but the whole band all together. Lars is decent but he is NOT the best drummer ever.

i honestly dont like anything past the black album they (metallica) has done .. it was decent.. but since that album they have gone downhill IMHO. but his older stuff i thought was really good.. ride the lightning is like one of the best selling albums of all time ranked #37 in 2008 (released in 84)  and x5 platinum

The only CD of Metallica's that I can listen to anymore is Kill Em All and it is their best.   The rest are played out and worn out.
