christian vander on drums

[blefusku]

he just flies over

[TheChiFlows]

SOMEONE TRANSLATE PLEASE ;-] .was he talking about sticking technique ?..

[YoussefFishere]

@TheChiFlows he said he prefers to stick the stick upwards because it rebounces, but when you're holding it straight, you need to lift your arm.

[Biftube974]

Vander c'est le type qui a fait de la batterie un voyage à partager... avec ses musiciens et bien sur avec nous. Merci (fa fa fafa)

[tiki2188]

Love Vander and Magma!

[paragoge]

Sigle de Magma : le cercle = ventre; le magma = la chaleur du ventre de la mère; les griffres = l'imago de la mère mauvaise (concept psychanalytique) représentation externe du sur-inverstissement de cette image dans le psychisme de Vander. Le sigle est la projection exacte du théatre intérieur psychique de Vander : une mère mauvaise avec laquelle on s'associe (comme Hitler pour détruire le père, c.a. d. la rationalité "quand on jour on ne pense pas cf. La révolte contre le père de G. Mendel)"

[88sublunaire]

C'est fou ce que ce type là peut faire avec son petit kit de jazzmen.Pas besoin d'une pléthore de fûts et de double-pédale...la grande classe Mr Vander!!!

[LePatay]

@88sublunaire

Kit de jazzmen : grosse caisse + charley + caisse-claire + deux cymbales maxi + deux toms. Il peut encore en enlever.

[88sublunaire]

@LePatay C'est clair...la batterie réduiteà sa plus simple expression devient un instrument de musique absolue avec lui...

[LePatay]

@88sublunaire

Sauf que je voulais dire qu'il est loin de jouer sur "la batterie réduite à sa simple expression" dès lors qu'il se trimbale avec 4 ou 5 cymbales.

[88sublunaire]

@LePatay OK! Ca me va aussi.De toute façons ce gars là est Musique même quand il ne fait qu'en parler.

[88sublunaire]

@LePatay C'est vrai que des cymbales il en a un gros peu...

[scaffairl]

Definetly gets better as he goes on.

[agentsteell]

he looks like the singer in rammstein :P or his father maybe :P

[ThomasHowellOrg]

Lol, you think Till Lindemann looks like Christian Vander? HAHAHAHA! I actually like both bands.

[AcusticDave]

Can anyone translate this and just post it in a comment? Tell the uploader to put it in the description. Problem solving so we all can get better.

[AdrienELC]

Well, basicly he explains how he plays the snare. He says most drumers plays it 'flat' (like without getting their hands too far from the snare) and that he always though it was better to get your hand off of it and be ready to play the snare again.

[abucket888]

this guy's awesome. such grace and power at the same time.

but you know what's funny is he totally looks like Barney Rubble.lol

killer.

[DomValela]

@abucket888 lol...I noticed that, too. It's this video, mostly. When he's in black and his hair is in different lighting he looks a little less...Flintstone. XD

[SalmanRuzdi]

Is there any chance of getting subtitles for divx version of "Un Homme Une Batterie"? I've just found myself a copy, and I'm dying to understand what Christian is saying!

[riccdrum]

this man is a genius....fantastic drummer and fantastic composer(with magma)

christian vander c'est simplement fantastique!

[bassifola]

blairo

[Fnidner]

Jeg elsker gamle franskmænd!

[fatherfocus]

the best

[fezkraut]

I wish they had subtitles this, because I do not understand French. What does he mean by Baguette? Besides that it is a bread.

[purplegrant]

Baguette means "Stick"

Be it a stick loaf or a drumstick.

The DVD ("Un Homme Une Batterie")has English subtitles BTW

and it's brilliant.

[harleylikesmusic]

I don't know what he's saying, but I heard "baguette" a lot.

[wuckle]

I agree with ronoman88 - Vander has a very Individual approach to drumming which is VERY refreshing and It's not about 'Soloing' but his grooves and fills - great stuff from a great drummer!! :D

[Rockunstank]

wow ! can ya say back waxing!!! hahahaha

[ikarios33]

belle leçon!

[snorhyveln]

Not so various in his soloing, enough to be called "improvisator" to me ?

[ronoman88]

I love him. He's gifted. His approach to everything/anything is at least interesting

[mootbooxle]

Oh man...I love Christian Vander! What an amazing man! Gifted composer, visionary, absolutely kooky singer, and powerhouse drummer!

I really wish that I could speak French...and Kobaian....hahaha! I have all his records!

[tubagirl93]

wow!!!

[osterkenn]

looks like Fred Flinstone

[merrmaojoao]

This guy was hanging with art blakey and kenny clarke since he's like five years old. No shit he's the shit!

[Teabonesteak]

That would explain alot.

[vitiking]

@merrmaojoao baguette means small stick in french . And a kind of piece of bread

[bobos01]

@merrmaojoao art blakey?? really?...nice!

[lukeashmoore]

This guy looks so French he makes a baguette look like a german type of food

[endlessepic]

I love this guys' drumming. Hes a rather weird character though

[phatphace]

Terrible posture, although, this is some of the greatest jazz/be-bop drumming i've heard in a while

[rhythmsearch]

Awesome

[andrewsreview1857]

hairy back i love hair backs

[balihew]

je le répète encore, je opréfère le son de l'alto et du tom bass de l'Asba bricolée et améliorée. Greatsh thats not great sound! Meme Bruford (album Time and a word) a dissimulé qu'il a fait des prises avec Asba en 70 (arguant qu'il utilisait Ludwig à cette période), mais cela ne trompera jamais mon ouïe très fine de batteur audiophile!! asba= sonorité de toms caractéristique pour celui qui sait reconnaître et apprécier...

[balihew]

le beat n'est jamais cassé!! excellent!

[rudeass]

Great
