I am a big fan of Josh's playing and I'm sure he's being sincere, but "They make the best drums out there...I haven't played any other drums in twenty years" sounds kinda funny to me. It's like, "That restaurant makes the best soup around. I haven't tasted any other soup in twenty years."
i know seriously, fuck punk. in APC hes got control over the weirdest time sigs and plays them very well. creative and technical. this guy's best work is in APC in my opinion
@Smackenzieth I can't think of any APC songs that aren't in some variation of 4/4 or 3/4, maybe 6/8 but that's about it. Even so, I agree, what he does with whatever time signature is incredible, his drums on Orestes could be my favorite drumming on any song ever.
@guitaro11188 Gravity is in 7/8 for the most part. but yea most A Perfect Circle stuff is in either 4/4 or 6/8 (3/4). and Orestes definetly is one of my favourite Drumming song from them anyways
I usually only see metal drummers using sonor. I'm in a metal, alternative and a punk band and my DW set works perfect for everything, it's amazing, I love it
haha, i think its funny how endorsed artists say their drum company is the best. plus they HAVE to say it because its part of their endorsement. i use YAMAHA and i think their great. all the greats use different drums so i think all of them are great. like steve gadd and dave weckl use YAMAHA, mike portnoy has his TAMA kit, neil peart with his DW, and dennis chambers with his PEARL. its just all personal preference like with cymbals.
according to anyone who is endorsed by a company says their drums are the best, so you (or at least me) cant tell which ones are the best but personally i prefer gretsch
Personally I enjoy them both equally. They're both different, but in terms of uniqueness I think I enjoy Danny a bit more. Just because when I listen to Freese most of the time its with NIN, and their style of music seems to be overlayed with 'techno patterns'. Which doesn't really allow me to 'zone in' on his drumming as clearly, but from his work with APC I have to say this makes them equally enjoyable.
Stop with the Josh Vs. Danny thing. It's a silly one. We are such different players. I hear it alot and the only thing I could think of that would make people continually discuss this is because we both have bands with Maynard. There's no competition betweeen us. He's my pal and we have a great mutual respect for one another cuz we are so different and don't know how the other guys does it! He's one my favs and I don't play anything like him
I have seen you both live many times and in NO way is Josh's and Danny's style the same....Oh wait they both play drums though, i guess thats the connection...if you leave out the dude in a wig ;).
Josh keep doin what youy doin bro!! Best of luck.
Man, Josh, you are not only an extremely talented guy, but you have a pretty rare attitude in the music business - very down-to-earth and humble. Well done!
How about shutting up about Danny Carey? I don't think he's that much better (if at all) than Josh. He's certainly not as versatile. And besides, if technique is all it comes down to, just accept the fact that Chris Pennie annihilates them both.
Anyone who's listened to Tool's 10,000 days will know beyond any doubt that Danny Carrey is so far ahead of this guy - who is still a kick ass drummer - that there really is no comparison. "Rosetta Stoned" should be enough to convince anyone doubting me.
dude how can u even compare josh freese to dan carey, 1st of all josh freese background is in punk (vandals) and dan carey in progressive metal, i'm not saying dan carey is worse, just that u can't compare
Josh Freese is the best drummer i´ve ever listen to. I must admit that in terms of drummig technique there´s several other drummers above him but Josh style is unique.
I don't think you can really compare Freese and Carey that much, just 'cause each has such a different style and approach to drumming. You can't really say one is better than the other, 'cause they're both fucking brilliant.
stop talking about danny carey. its a godamn josh freese video. and what the hell are you talking about sellout? hes advertising the drum company he's endorsing. you're supposed to advertise a band you endorse, its how you get endorsed!!
don't get me wrong people.. i love a perfect circle and josh freese is talented. but oh dear god he is such a sell out. he advertises for so much shit it's ridiculous.
when you have as much money as josh freese does, you don't NEED to be endorsed. i'm just saying if he's playing with apc, a band with ideals against the whole capitalization thing..then he should stay true to those ideals. but w/e apc is done and over with, and TECHNICALLY everyone is a sell out(hookerwithapenis) so this argument is pointless
buddie who said he is a sesh, have you ever met him? or seen him in concert? do you know how many ppl have sampled his work? NO? well then your opinion doesn't matter
dw lugs are almost as bad looking as those long band type lugs that go from one head to the other. prob. any other brand looks better than all those blotchy lugs on dws!
