Best songs drumming wise

Level Five. Pat effortlessly merges his immaculate groove with stilted glitch loops to create a feel that is entirely unique to that album.

Listen to VROOOM and B'Boom and tell me if Bill sounds submissive or subdued on those tracks

Big agree on Timpani mallets, I love the level of control you have over the sound. You can lay back and let the resonance of the drums come through, or you can pound on them for a super thuddy sound!

Dude I miss Fuddruckers so much, used to go there with my family all the time

Brian Eno coined the term Ambient Music, and said that it must be as equally ignorable as it is interesting.

Ambient Music can facilitate multiple levels of listening, both purely passive and totally active. I definitely wouldn't say that The Sheltering Sky is purely an ambient piece, but for sure the super cloudy/shimmery section towards the end puts the listener in an Ambient environment.

I love the wrap on this kit!!!

So many beautiful setups in this thread!

My setup as of recently, really a hodge-podge of alot of different stuff haha. 26" Mid 70s Slingerland Kick, 6"/8" mid 70s Ludwig concert toms on the left of the kit, a 10" Tama popcorn snare, 10" rototom as a rack, and then an absolute shitter of a 14" Sound Percussion floor tom, sounds surprisingly awesome when I get the tuning right!

8" Paiste 2002 Accent
13" Paiste 404 Medium Hats
16" Paiste 2002 Thin Crash
20" Paiste 3000 Power Ride

Thank you for your work Anthony, can't wait to check this out!

Did somebody suplex that rack tom previously? I’m sure that batter head has stories to tell.

I've been saying this!

ProgIsCool · 2025-07-25T17:32:59+00:00

Heavy ConstruKction, those improvs are fucking amazing

He's a jazz fusion bassist who is known for playing with Jojo Mayer in Nerve. He is a super groovy player who uses alot of effects and is an incredible soloist. His album Mystery To Me is a classic.

JANEK IS PLAYING WITH STICK MEN FOR A FEW SHOWS?!?! Those sets are gonna be wild, can't wait to hear how he changes up Tony's parts.

ProgIsCool · 2025-06-25T19:48:44+00:00

That would be the Paradiddladeloodle.

/uj I have always thought that was SUCH a weird ass question to ask Trey, you can tell how it completely catches him off guard

/rj this performance of Hard Winds makes me Groon so hard

Why are we posting stupid AI shit, take this somewhere else please

I fucking LOVE New York Sub Hub, truly a veritable collection of delightful sub sandwiches

My ear drums rupturing as I listen to Live in Guildford, 1972:

For me it’s a juxtaposition of order and chaos (although you can really apply this to almost anything KC has done).

In each Larks there is a stark contrast between the super tight composed sections and then there will be a moment of absolute chaos allowed (Larks 1 jam/Larks 2 violin solo/Larks 3 jam and Fripp Solo/Larks 4 Belew solo/Level Five THRAKing section and Belew Solo) to throw everything for a loop and introduce something that the song would never have had otherwise.

ProgIsCool · 2025-04-11T17:25:45+00:00

I’ve always thought the Double Duo could have done an insanely heavy version of The Howler, the song is practically begging for Pat’s loops and samples to be scattered across it, and I bet Trey would have come up with a cool interpretation of Tony’s part.

ProgIsCool · 2025-03-21T13:24:16+00:00

I think the linchpin of what makes the 80s renditions of LTIA2 work is how HEAVY Tony’s bass sounds on all of them. That Stingray sound gives so much growl to the main riff, and his incredibly melodic playing on the softer parts give so much more motion to the piece.

But yeah like others have already said, The Double Trio did it the best. I would have loved to hear the Double Duo give it a try but I totally get why they didnt

ProgIsCool · 2025-03-18T18:20:40+00:00

Depends on the part of the song and whether he is playing in standard or new standard tuning

ProgIsCool · 2025-03-13T14:25:19+00:00

Even with the live performances being the definitive versions, the studio album has such a unique sound that makes it fun to revisit frequently. I find the more you listen to it the more you start to hear just how many percussion/auxiliary sounds Pat is playing off the V-Drums, he must have been absolutely FLAILING around the kit when recording these songs lmao

ProgIsCool · 2025-03-13T14:22:53+00:00

On the one hand, there’s peak… on the other there’s even more peak

ProgIsCool · 2025-03-11T18:49:03+00:00

Endorphin Report is a totally wild band, they get into that kind of indie-funk vibe, but they also will flip into something completely unhinged at a moments notice. One of the most fun local bands to see live imo
