Now thats what drumming is really about. Thats how get to play with people like Tom Petty. Drummers take note. The only people that give a shit about chops are other drummers. If you cant lay it down you wont make it in this business. Just a fact.
Not too complicated. The only thing really great about it was the sound and it's hard to tell if that's the set (including the heads), the sticks or that particular force that he puts forth. Either way it sounds great... Nothing mind blowing though.
I've seen Steve several times live and the last time I was right behing him... Watching him so closely playing is a fantastic experience. He has so much soul! Soul and groove.... that's why he, JR, Laoriel Jr., Russ Miller, Vinnie and Gadd are still so much in demand: great chops but above all TONS of HEART AND SOUL
It really does not get any better than Steve Ferrone. He has an intrinsic quality lacking in 99% of today's "drummers". In a word, it is called SOUL. Soul is not something that can be taught, it is something that comes from the heart and it is what separates the greatest drummer from the "also rans"
Steve Ferrone is one of the most in-demand drummers in the world and this is why. He has impeccible timing, as good a chops as you can get but most of all he knows how to put SOUL into his playing. All the techincal expertise and fancy chops amount to absolutely nothing without SOUL.
pure drumming genius from another dimension. This guy can take a simple repetitive 4/4 beat make it sound in 3D. Listen to Put Our Heads Together by O'Jays and Glow by Rick James
Some people don't have enuff soul to appreciate it. So they want to hear a bunch of damn masturbatory speed rifts. Poor things. Steve Ferrone is a BMF. a bad muthha fukka

Party pooper. I agree, it may not be that 'special', but does it 'have' to be? It's tight, and spot-on, which is what many of today's drummers are not. Only speed seems to be appreciated these days. And oh yeah, Steve's a heartbreaker. 'nuff said!?
His timing is accurate as ever.

don't get me wrong, I likeDave and all, but Steve is a much better drummer

there's no way you can be a real drummer and not appreciate the playing feel Steve Ferrone delivers. He is one of a kind.

Yeah. Everyone thinks machine gunning the double pedal and playing as fast as you can makes a drummer.
But it is possible to combine tight playing with speed and find a balance.
