i hate how sometimes they play with very late accents, as to make it sound more sophisticated. like slighty out of time sounding when in reality its still in time. it looses the ryhtm, and it makes it sound like a bunch of little kids hitting on pots and pans.
@alihire Actually no. He has every tom tuned to a specific note, so he can, in effect, play it like a xylophone. It might be superfluous, but it's definitely necessary for the kind of stuff he plays.
@helter69skelter he used to play with a band called "the mars volta" but he recently left that band. im not sure who he is playing with at the moment.
@helter69skelter Thomas has played with The Mars Volta, Zenith Patrol, Keysha Cole, Herbie Hancock, Christian Scott, and he has a new band called The Memorials.
Abe is more than likely one of the richer (money) wise drums in the game....
Paul McCartney (Beatles) drummer.....and Paul pays his musicians top bucks per pound (fat)
Funds Aquired Throughly......He's fat from a disease called Swollen Wallet Syndrome....either way ur watching this and making no bucks...While he continues to suffer from Swollen Wallet Syndrome....
This is not an attack just saying...the focus is about drumming...not hate..
Abe is about SPACE!! And just groove...Terry & Thom are great...but blowing their wads chop wise....Where you going to use these kinds of chops in todays music...Its all about groove baby!!
@Skiddymushroom i dont wanna see grooves for 5 minutes if there is no band to play music over it, ide rather just see them shred. you know who it is aswell, watch bernard purdie if you wanna see something else.
@lizardmanIV this is but personal, to enjoy what 3 monster do of the drum set,but, every one in their specialty, someone can say its incredible, amazin¡¡¡¡¡ others like,what is this? , it is question of points of view
@bambamdrummer1964 well listen to 'wax simulcra' by The Mars Volta. then listen to the rest of the album it's on (Bedlam In Goliath) then tell me you can't use beasty chops in today's music
Out of Practice? Dude.. The guy has been on the road with the two most important icons in Rock & Roll!! He's just a different cat all together. Love all three of em.. but Abe is DA MAN!!
can it be any shitter quality?

This doesn't prove your a good drummer, it just proves you can hit things fast. You need rhythm to be a good drummer, not speed.
