DEANTONI PARKS Miel Del Ojo Jam,Omar Rodriguez Lopez Group Highline NY 2010

[InHumanForm555]

If you havent heard Deantoni on the Kudu album from 01 you literally should should stop all your pressing affairs and get it or should I say buy it, yes it is hard to find as a free download, but the album is worth its weight in gold, I havent heard anything that even compares. Only 3 of the albums 9 tracks are on youtube now, the 3 that are posted are def badass but the whole album is a masterpiece, first album I bought in a while, a must in anyones collection!! WORD

[deadeye42]

@InHumanForm555 yeah i have that album, it's really good. everyone should go get it

[nclempark1]

Deatoni is a bad ass rock drummer. John bohnam would be proud.

[PeachesAndSkeet]

I would say that of all TMV drummers so far, Theodor is def still my fav. That's probably partially because Deloused is my fav album (of all time...). I think that despite the fact that he lacked the proficiency of Pridgen or Parks, he fit the band best. I'd say Pridgen was the worst fit. (not counting that one white drummer they had lol) This guy seems like he could get into a groove better. Not that anyone really gives a whack about my opinion...

[thecomfortisnow]

good drumming.

[RageAgainstTheMauro]

im sorry, this guy is all skill and no groove

[deadeye42]

@RageAgainstTheMauro god damn you're an idiot.

here are some videos to prove how dumb you are.

[RageAgainstTheMauro]

@deadeye42 haha yeah nice one, just proves my point exactly!

[deadeye42]

@deadeye42 then what is your definition of groove? you're literally the only person in the world who thinks D cant groove.

try this maybe?

[RageAgainstTheMauro]

@deadeye42 nah man i just dont dig it, especially not for volta. hell no.

i'll put it this way, he grooves like a robot.

theodore was the mars volta.

[deadeye42]

@RageAgainstTheMauro oh, well sounding like a robot is kind of his thing... that doesn't mean he cant groove though. he mixes it up a lot on the new mars volta shit, and he can play the old shit perfectly.

[RageAgainstTheMauro]

@deadeye42 im gonna have to disagree on playing the old material perfectly. the whole reason he cant is because of his style.

[deadeye42]

@RageAgainstTheMauro

"deantoni parks tore Rapid Fire Tollbooth up. His approach is the most legit to that riff.

he is hands down the greatest drummer I have ever played with. Most musical dude behind the kit-Marcel and I laugh all rehearsal"

-juan said that.

[SubwayStar7]

Personally, I think Thomas Pridgen was a much better fit for TMV, but I think they can do good with this guy. He seems alright.

[dodongododgebal]

@SubwayStar7 TP is a fantastic drummer, but im actually glad he is out of TMV, drums on octa where underwhelming to say the least, Parks has the chops of TP he just rarely used them. He is also much more measured while still being crazy technically wich i love 

[ExclaimedMusic]

@dodongododgebal The drumming on Xenophanes and Sepulcros de Miel are pretty incredible, though.

[deadeye42]

@ExclaimedMusic TP doesnt play on Sepulcros de Miel

[deadeye42]

@SubwayStar7 parks is wayyy more than "alright". do some research

[prioridadconfusa]

ptm como toca el hihat, espero con ansias el nuevo disco

[2valient]

This guy is one of my favorite drummers. His skills are crazy status.

[sometimeafter]

They got a live vid of the same song up here

[drummingJamez]

oooohhh i am keen for the new volta record

[RedSandStudios]

So glad this guy is in the Volta instead of Dave Elitch. Deantoni is so much more tasteful. Watching Dave relentlessly gangbang his drums doesn't impress me.

[gutsofmuts]

@RedSandStudios dam straight 

[daFranch1se69]

Welcome Parks to the best Rock Band out today, THE MARS VOLTA!

[sipues21]

@daFranch1se69 Progressive Rock to be exact ;)

[yourname50]

Poor hi-hat ;-;

[yehigota5inchtaint]

@yourname50 fuck that, i would love to be the hi-hat right there.

[TheDytar]

Great point of view! Do you think that the china is an oriental trash of 20"?

[deadeye42]

@TheDytar all i remember was it had rivets in it

[TheDytar]

@deadeye42 Oh, really? Nice!

I watched otherr videos and it seems that he plays : an oriental china zildjian and high china zildjian!

[sirray]

@TheDytar it's a 22" avedis shwish knocker with rivets

[FOOROCKS123]

@TheDytar swish knocker

[finkfarg]

holy sick!

[southgallatin]
