Jazz Folk: Satellite -elliott smith

[Bgirlkitty]

this is so beautiful <3 thank you ^_^

[TristramTrio]

I sincerely hope that the drummer never reads these comments. And if he does, I hope he reads the one that says "Very sensitive free drumming on the drummers part" (mine) and understands that because of the nature of the song (it being written by Elliott Smith) he's not going to get a jazz audience.

STOP THE MADNESS!!!!!! better come to Saginaw MI.

the drummer can GTFO i'm not gonna say that he's not a good jazz drummer but honestly he ruins this for me.

[MrMisab]

this is so sick

I wanted to play waltz #2 in my jazz band at school but the teachers being a bitch and won't let us

Simon Barker is my favorite drummer ever. I think that if you listen carefully you will hear that he knows the song and where the time is exactly. But it's kind of inside of him. Only he could make it sound like that. And I guess it's personal, but to me, it sounds incredible!!! Incredible. INCREDIBLE>!

[peterscherr]

thanks finntaz, I'd have to agree with you there. Simon is sui generis. Amazing. Are you a musician? What do you do?

[paintedturtle]

I actually thought the drums fit nicely with the very impressionistic lyrics and feel of the original song. I think if he tuned it down just a bit they would be perfect.

I've got this drummers back.

Does the drummer have parkinsons disease or something? Please break his sticks and keep him very far away from any drum kits. Stop the madness!

[peterscherr]

Stop the Madness!!! That's pretty good, I love it... I think I'll start using that as a tag line on our gig posters. Maybe you guys should try listening on a full range system, rather than your laptop speakers. In context with the full bass sound, the drummer is playing beautifully. Also it's a different style of drumming than you might be used to. More of a painterly, free -jazz thing. Maybe give it another chance. It's all good. Anyway, thanks for watching... Peace!
