I agree about the sound. It was just a practice recording, and I used the crappy mike in the camera. At some point, I'll do a real recording. Keep slapping that bass...
...I do not use "real" name, out here...was roadie for flash & hung with Fred @ nerve center...No idea where Jim & Walter could be....Good to know you're around and still kickin traps!
I'm from Chicago, where there are a lot of Scarpellis. Most are car salesman and gangsters. A few of us are musicians. There are also a lot of Scarpellis in New York and New Jersey. Thanks for the nice words, my distant relative!
Figures, because I actually have some family that lives in Chicago! And, when my family first came from Italy, they came to New York. Now most of them live in Spokane, WA. So yes, hello my distant relative! Haha.
Aw man that was outstanding! I saw this other video that was a 45 of the Shadows and there was a poster that showed the Shadows were going to play at the Catacombs - was that in Houston? Thanks again and don't stop playing!!! best regards, Luther
Luther, if the video is the Atco Singles Volume 2, I'm playing drums on both of those tracks. The poster is of the band a few years before me, and I don't know where The Catacombs was. Thanks for the comments!
Marv, as in "Jonesi?" Farm out, maign! Just some tasteless jamming. It's exercise, I suppose. Check out the 2nd solo...even more tasteless, but technical enough to make Ross Salamone moan. That was a pun. Ha. Ha.
the dog must be thinking what do i have to do to get any sleep in this place,so it hids under the drums lol,nice playing man fancy teaching me how to play that good lol no only joking but man you are good.
E-drums don't make any noise. I didn't have the monitor up too loud, so the dog can take it. After two decades off, give me another year to get all my chops back. Keep playing!
"Rocco" is actually the name of the Golden Retriever who makes a late entrance. Lots of single 16th note paradiddles in triplet form. I love the Roland set, BTW...
Pardon my first clumsy upload. After not playing professionally since 1978, I've spent the past two years learning how to play drums again. Give me another year. This was basically sit down and play stuff.
Damm Impressive Paul!!!

Don't care much for the sound quality, especially the bass, but hey, that's not the player.
Overall that's pretty damn impressive. Sounds like you still play a gig a couple of times a week. Great stuff man.

That was great! Doesn't look like any "ex pro" that I've heard! Looks like a pro to me!
I wonder if we're related? I'm a Scarpelli too!

We used to laugh at "Teen Beat," but I downloaded it about a year ago, and it's a gem. Simple, but good.
