WOW,,just stumbled across this, reminds me of something Ginger Baker did awhile ago with a bass player and a guitarist that sounds very close to this guy. Does anybody remember that?
Ralph is really something else! He is so fluid and musical always. No way. He can play anything because he is a Musician because he plays also vibes and piano and he's a master composer. I know what I'm saying because he's been my private teacher at PIT back in 93. I miss that period so much. And now thanks to you tube I can listen and watch him again. Everybody should listen him closely
Humphrey first came to my attention around 1977 with a group called "Caldera". I knew if he could sit in for Carlos Vega he had to be serious. Had no idea he played with Zappa. His style reminds me of P. Erskine -intense drummer.
Ralph was one of my teachers at P.I.T. in Hollywood , Ca. Ralph`s class dealt with odd time . The guy is a master at it . But , and he always stressed this , do not inflict your shit on the music . If it is simple 4/4 play what you need to play , not what you LIKE to play . Ralph plays music where his odd time and polyrhythmic knowledge is useful . The rest of us usually play more pedestrian gigs . And if we try to use this shit on our gigs we will get fired ....haha
Wow what a band ! Ralph Humphrey's is incredible. I feel embarrased to say this as I've drummed for many many years but I just had no idea how good Ralph Humphry's is. I've missed out on all these years.......
Ralph humphry can literally play anything on drums. He taught at l.a.m.a when I was there and he really opened up my playing through techniques
