Honoring Jim Chapin - Lifetime Achievement Award by DrummerConnection

[junk4funk]

My first paid drumming gig was over 35 years ago. I still earn my living from drumming in 2011. I have facilitated more than 1,300 Music Workshops since 1998.

FAR AND AWAY THE GREATEST EXPERIENCE IN ALL THOSE YEARS WAS THE HONOUR OF HAVING A LESSON WITH "THE MOST IMPORTANT DRUM EDUCATOR OF THE 20 TH CENTURY". MR. JAMES FORBES CHAPIN IN 2003.

ARGUE ALL YOU LIKE, I KNOW THAT ACCOLADE BELONGS TO JIM CHAPIN.

Drumming has devolved.

Even now (almost 2012), the few videos that make my jaw drop are OLD clips back in Buddy Rich's & Chapin's day.

the new generation like travis barker can carry on the tradition from this old man and take it far beyond

[sasukekun6942]

@4against1 Play and study drums every day for ten years starting today, and you will understand the ignorance of you comment. trust me

[pirateboy2]

@4against1

STFU about Travis Barker already. SERIOUSLY, almost all the Jim Chaplin videos I seen have you ranting off about Travis being the best drummer like his little bitch. Honestly, Travis can't even hold a candle to this generation's greats like Tony Royster Jr., etc, don't think for a second he can be compared to Chaplin.

Now GTFO and go suck a big one.

@4against1 omg i see you on every one of chaplin's videos at first i thought you were kidding but now i realize that you are dead serious. you are a fucking idiot, perhaps the biggest idiot i have ever encountered on youtube. travis barker is the bane of every real drummers existence and ever REAL drummer (which you clearly aren't) knows that travis barker is a joke. i don't hate barker by any means, i hate his fanboy dickriders like yourself. i will pray for you.
