Don Brewer's solo - Grand Funk Railroad at Memorial Park

[wayne290]

GFR will never be the same without Farner. Bring him back!!!

[pieword]

Not enough room on the stage once you get Brewer and his ego there.

[65drummer1]

i don't see mel or his bass guitar neck stickin out of "sewer brewer's" nose. Mel, are you on stage?

[pieword]

How do you spell ASS HOLE in one word? BREWER !!!!!!

[brpoole336]

one of the greatest Rock and Roll drummers I ever saw

[centrehice]

Most of Brewer's solo are single strokes and triplets with the kick drum. Not that difficult....but catchy and it was his. He was powerful, fast, and a great showman. Many GFR albums taught me how to play. It was when I started listening to rock drummers like Ian Paice and Bobby Caldwell, that I noted the importance of learning rudiments in order to play their style. Not a ton of rudiments in Brewer's drumming. But it's fantastic straight-ahead rock...with a great groove and feel.

"Ain't no Bonham"...that's hardly fair, comparing the 60-year-old guy in this clip to Bonzo in his prime ( do you think, had John Bonham lived, that he would have that 32-year-old stamina today? ). I saw Brewer, 1973 and 1975...he was a powerhouse. More than that, Don Brewer owned the stage during his solo. NOBODY played with that much drive.

Locomotive perhaps- but he ain't no Bonham.

[sheddski]

NOW YOU TELL ME IF HE IS A LOCOMOTIVE OR WHAT JUST LIKE BONHAM

[bassdudeman22]

awsome drummer

[AmputatedAbortions]

HELL YEAH! I seen them live last night here in Ohio. Recorded his drum solo for about a whole ten minutes that led into another song, but sadly, I recorded with my iPod Touch so the quality isn't so great. But I'll never forget the show, long live the Funk!
