Mike Terrana @ MEINL Drum Festival 2005 part II

[GranducatoToscano]

A SOSPENSION IS HOW THE MUSIC

MORE YOU DROW,MORE IS METALLIC

[nomeolbidet]

HE BROKE A STICK

[semiLivedj]

I hate kits that are so connected together they shake all the time,It just bugs me,Nice kit though!

[groovemerchant19]

Nothing like Weckl. Weckl is so thoroughly precise in everything he plays and, in my humble opinion, way, way , way more creative. Nice hawk though. Btw, what's up with the Madonna cones on his cymbals ?

[davss5]

@groovemerchant19 I feel that Mike here still does some nice creative work with a fairly complex song arrangement - BUT, I would agree with you regarding (what we both feel is) Weckl's higher creativity level...(I feel that) Weckl has more subtlety and sensitivity in his playing (but this could be understandable given that he comes from more of a jazz/jazz fusion background)...I also enjoy just watching Weckl's seemingly effortless playing...

[weldboy67]

Hmmmmm....interesting. Never heard jazz percussion played quite this way. Kinda like Weckl on crack with a Mohawk.

[dudeop3]

derek roddy way better

[yahyalilli]

one of the best of the world but mike is a little better,,dave weckl see dave weckl........or gregg bissonette....aliens....terry bozzio....

[amjan]

[FliaParedes2285]

@walkover1 perdonqe me meta, pero para vos quien es el mejor del mundo, o los mejores del mundo??, o me vas a decir qe portnoy no entra en los mejores bateristas del mundo?...vamooooo....

[walkover1]

@FliaParedes2285 MIRA....PARA MI ..SEGUN MIS PARAMETROS....Y LO KE HE VISTO HE ESCUCHADO Y LO KE SE DEL INSTRUMENTO ....PORTNOY NO ENTRA EN ESA CATEGORIA......KISAS COMO PRODUCTOR Y CEREBRO DE UNA BANDA TAN EXITOSA Y BUENA COMO LO ES D.T. SI ...PERO NETAMENTE EN EL INSTRUMENTO NO .....ES SOLO MI OPINION .....NADA PERSONAL CONTRA EL NI LOS SEGUIDORES DE EL ...DE ECHO EL ES MUY BUEN BATERISTA ....PERO MEJOR DEL MUNDO IMPLICA MUCHO MUUUUUUUCHO MAS :-) SALUDOS

[FliaParedes2285]

@walkover1 nose, nose,pero portnoy desde el 94 q viene recibiendo premios por su rol de baterista grosso, superando en cantidad de premios a bateroas como joey jordison y al mismisimo neal peart. yo tambien soy batero y sé de los"parametros" del instrumento y para mi le queda muy bien el titulo de "uno de los mejores bateristas de mundo". :P

[walkover1]

@FliaParedes2285 me parese totalmente respetable tu opinion :-) saludines

[slayerbodensee]

quite good drummer, but i think hellhammer is better.

[CristalCorvus]

El Mejor Del Mundo.

[isaacleedrums]

That was cool. Bass drums were sloppy at 1:19 unless I'm not hearing that right.

[szidi88]

yes they were sloppy and he tried to cover it with the loose high-hat but it's all good, nice drumming

[LavAzza1982]

@isaacleedrums I recon he didn't land those kicks nice and separated yeah.

[JoeSorrentino]

@isaacleedrums you are sloppy not mike

[isaacleedrums]

@JoeSorrentino I am a human so yes I am sloppy at times. Mike normally is spot on. He's a great drummer!

[morcillo]

GOD

[JjuSstiNn47]

I mean "his". haha

[JjuSstiNn47]

he's drumset dances with him. haha

[seannn90]

that was rubbbbbbish! My goodness, that's the ugliest music I've ever heard...

[Evergreyman]

This is shitty against Thomas Lang or Marco Minnemann

I mean nothing that terrana not can play god,

he is a Showdrummer not more..and he plays the self drumsolos year for year and that sucks sorry

[Draxx420]

ok do you even know what band he plays in lol ? Rage against the machine has some of the most tastfull drumming i have ever heard mike has a unbelivable sence of rthym . Seriusly listen to it he does anything but overplay

[symimetycal]

Rage Against the Machine? Terrana never played with them, he played with the German heavy metal band RAGE (Formerly Avenger)

Though I do agree that he has a good sense of rhythm. His personal look at drumming (That it is a sport) is rather interesting and makes for a cool dedication to the act.

[DrummerBoy1035]

Terrana is great...for the style...

If your into more authentic style and super tricky rythms (other this terrana's bass drum work) Jojo Mayer is your guy....

Propts to Terrana though...he has some insane legs...

[ameliorate2695]

his drumset is very pointy

[CANIOGAN]

awesome

[Nargaroth]

Awesome.. I love his energy. People tend to get too snobby on the internet.. But opinions are like assholes..

[mistakesmans]

la batteria traballa non poco.... bravissimo mike

[Smpte11]

I am no ignorant! Donati is THE reference when it comes to footwork. But other than him, name drummers who have a level of control and speed on par with Terrana (except Lang, Collins (not Phil...Grant), Minnemann, Drummond and Roddy). My point is this guy deserve way more praise than he has: his playing is energetic, tasteful, original and he has this sense of showmanship absent from many drummer!

[fox4488]

you forgot chris adler, his footwork I'd say shows a lot of potential stuff in his feet (check out his stuff for ruin)..

[ofirharlev]

great performance!

cheers

[lololoandlalala]

es verdad... parezco tonto preguntando eso xD

pero eso si, los lleva mui tensaos i mui pretos a la caja

[AnRaX1992]

This fucking awsome!

[sbuela]

tell me who are the 10 drummers better then terrana!!! shut up!

[nikesson]

u really want 10 better? Mike Portnoy Neil Peart Ian Paice Dave Weckle Vinnie Colaiuta Terry Bozio Jin Chapin Dennis Chamber Steve Smith Carter Bullford wanna more?

[sbuela]

i'm agree they're all incredible good drummers. but mike terrana is in my top ten

[Smpte11]

funny though that you can't even spell Jim Chapin , Dave Weckl and Carter Beauford. True Terry Bozzio is out of this world but most of the drummers (if not all) that you named don't have the footwork Terrana has.

[ofirharlev]

i don't think bozzio is THAT great...

and who gives a fuck whose better, they're all different anyway

[lololoandlalala]

todo mui bien, pero nhay algo que no cuadra... no lleva bordones en la caja o me lo parece a mi?

[fermar92]

claro que lleva, si no, sonaria como un tom, y no como el sonido PAC de la caja de toda la vida xD

[Masamita]

I personally know more than 10 drummers who are better

[BloodAndThunder00]

im pretty sure everone will agree with me on this on....nobody gives a fuck

[Masamita]

temper temper

[TonEy81]

agreed.

[gshdrums]

why aint dickheads like you dead yet, every player is different...go jump in a hole and starv you dick drumming would be better without you

[calousime]

i like

[SoulMetal87]

Vaya redobles...

[PillowMethod]

Smokin . . . .

I dig Mike Terrana. He used to play his hi-hat extra high, about as high as that splash cymbal, above his left floor tom. It looked very strange, he said that he always played it that way, so he could hit the snare harder, he must have realized it wasn't necessary.

See what a few lessons can do for you : ) (jus kiddin).

[clevec4]

Very tight drumming. I think his tone is flippin' incredible. Very defined.

[GZuraman]

Great song, pretty good drumming.

[dhwild569]

I have never heard of this guy before.But this guy fuckin rocks the way I would like to see a drummer play.I wonder if the way his kick drums are angled helps in playing fast double bass patterns.

[DurkabaJung]

It doesn't make it easier, just really helps for a better tone.

[superperson898]

the hardware might be broke

[masterhaichanchu]

what song is he playing to? can i download it from somewhere?

[felixpearl]

^ludwiger trommeltage !!da seh ich ihn

den gott^^

[BleedingBallsMurphy]

This SUCKS worst than my first cousin...

[danielblades]

Lots of power.

[jonasbirgersson]

why don't have the cymbals where he can reach them?

[ianhaan]

because having the cymbals too low would result in the drum mics picking up the cymbal sounds. this is called "cymbal bleed"

[jonasbirgersson]

Yeah i know it can be that way, but i haven't seen anyone have them SO high.

[Beetlejuice1988]

good.

[MEINLcymbals]

Watch more videos at our video section on meinlcymbals com

[coocoo4kicks]

Intresting Set up lol... great performer

[wincofon]

just hear becoming... Nothing more to say...

[carajaso]

ok look! his awsome but Vinnie Paul is famous just because PANTERA is famous.

[carajaso]

VINNIE PAUL THE BEST??? fuck!.. are you a real drummer or just like to listen music?

[wincofon]

By the way... Bored...

[wincofon]

FUCK OFF JERKS! mIKE IS GOOD BUT VINNIE PAUL IS THE BEST. yOU GUYS HAVE NO EARS...

[drummachine9]

yep the total package exactly!

[superdemon]

Not much finesse? Are you kidding? Vinnie Paul=no finesse. Mike Terrana= the total package.

[Slayer7666COF]

what about the broken stick right at the start of the song? plus there is compression somewhere (or hard limmiting) making every hit exactly the same intensity no matter how hard or soft you hit, only the tonality will change (though adding compression is not bad but you clearly see him wacking with all his str on the drumms, its a styll of playing but it damages drumss in the long run for the different sound.)

[superdemon]

With all due respect, "So?" You've never broken a stick? I've broken sticks on floor toms. And what does compression have to do in anyway with finesse or style? It's obvious we are not getting "live" acoustics here, but studio micced drums, so your points about tonality are void.

[Slayer7666COF]

ok for example, if no matter what you did with your voice, it would allways be at 100Db, even if you shouted or spoke quietly it would be 100Db, thus you don't hear louder hits and weaker hits making finess perfect but i forgot when i though that drumm mic are made to condense sounds and compress a bit so you can catch lower/higher frequences otherwizely hard to catch on a SM58 for the whole kit :P but that does not mean he does not have finness, just that its hard here to tell :P

[superdemon]

Oh, now I see. I agree with you. Basing anyone's abilities based on one performance is not a good idea.

Even when I played regularly, I could still have a bad session and look like complete crap. Then again, I could pick up sticks after three months off and play like I had never stopped. And you're right, sometimes equipment makes all the difference.

[krelbar]

Not much finesse...but raw power and technique. I saw him with Yngwie in 1994. Blew me away...
