Thomas Pridgen Roundtable - Drum Channel Preview!

[divinegrinder]

Pridgen is young, hungry, and enthusiastic. Good to see.

[RandomVideo1234567]

why like the like dislikes

[Drums5B]

Yes Abe! I love his drumming

[Wowurgaylol]

is terry bozzio the official drum channel host?

[DrumChannelOfficial]

@Wowurgaylol Terry is our Artist In Residence at the moment, and is the main person we ask to host our shows. His knowledge-base is incredible and he is able to pull amazing stories and insights out of our guests because of it. Curt Bisquera is also a regular host, and lately, so is Cobus Potgieter (who is interning here).

[Wowurgaylol]

@DrumChannelOfficial ah okay thanks for the info

"I've watched them since they've been little kids" :L

[DCussen]

I've actually taught all these three guys everything they've ever known. Touching to see them come together.

[checkabreak]

Y0! like pridgen like really like rocks !

[onesogreat77]

thomas is sloppy

[mypennis]

@onesogreat77 and thats a style

[verdenodela1]

Pridgen was fired not too long ago, I was at the show where it happened.

They were doing a soundcheck and Pridgen wasn't listening to what Cedric asked him to do and they got in an argument. Pridgen left in a cab and I got to talk to Ikey on his way out. The show was canceled too.

[frednerk89]

bull please tell me its not true

[gypsyeyes008]

@verdenodela1 'the hell. i love the mars volta, they're one of my favorite bands, but sometimes they astound me with how they can cancel shows like it's no big deal to the fans.

[mariorossipuzza]

on a cab? a taxi?

[goldencalf]

pridgen sounds like a moron

[MrSwapp2]

You are the moron

[gringochucha]

[SLiMxShANuS]

you have to super-mean it

[surrealsound]

all great drummers!!

[thepatient678]

New Thomas Pridgen Footage from festival on my channel

[deftcon1]

yeah

I think Omar wanted the chopsfest freakout that were the performances on TBIG

the two albums are a complete contrast in styles

I'm glad that, w/Octo, ppl see that he doesn't have to just 'shred,' as so many ppl have criticised him for. again, I think it's just what Omar wanted for TBIG

after all, as much control as Omar has over things, you think he WOULDN'T tell TP to tone it down some? :)

[underself]

yes, on many interviews omar states he wanted this contrast.

[ThrillMonger]

yeah, because TBIG was such an extreme album. that shit is hardcore.

[PULSE1tv]

"He Landed That With HELLA Style"

[TimJackson93]

Pridgen is immense,

i managed to get on stage and shake his hand at a mars volta show

:D

[aseriousoffender]

bastard,

[underscoreisnotvalid]

tomas is a rad dude!

[hebronsawyers]

You have to super mean it!

[Drumzzz22]

i love how thomas and abe is just talking and talking and terry is just being polite and listening :]

[chud89]

thomas is a beast and a beast who can take over the game

[carlitox14]

thomas have done an amazing job at the bedlam , also is one of my fav drummers

[MephistosCafeManager]

Personally, I thought his drumming on Bedlam was meh. I mean it was GREAT but, after listening to Jon for so long...to me it was like Thomas used the songs as a chop out session. BUT on Octahedron, the new mars Volta...he held back from the craziness of Bedlam and lays down some insane, sick grooves. For surely, Thomas is a drummer who will make great music for years to come.

[Gavarooney]

those songs on bedlam wouldnt have been as crazy without his drumming, but i see where you are coming from

[Sidar654231]

Regarding his drumming on Bedlam, I don't think he did bad at all. He could have held back or played something different, but as it turns out Omar and the other people in the band liked it the way it was recorded. Of course he could do meshuggah as well as he could do chamber music. He plays what Omar and the music ask of him.

[conjigalo]

Thanks for this man! It is really cool watching vida like this.

[hotwheelz20072]

Abe is a beast. Love him. And Prigden too.

[Lewilt]

haha love his explanation of skateboarding

[worldindspunk]

2:30 how you experience life

[liennto]

so good.  i relate everything to skateboarding too.

[ConsumedByDrums]

thomas is such an original drummer. never heard someone play like him. i cant get enough, i've listened to bedlam in goliath countless amounts of times.

[jmmatos23]

He played amputechture too right?

[Orochieddie]

no that was still Jon Theodore

[NDiesel31]

man thats so sick that he mentions skating. Snowboarding and Skateboarding are some of my biggest drumming influences oddly. hes the man!

[checkabreak]

L A N D T H E T R I C K !!

[AllThatZZTop]

thomas is the man

[exist209]

" you have to super mean it'....lol
