Inagadda_DrumSolo_Kurt Markham

Kurt Markham, One time drummer for Iron Butterfly, performs at LBH3's Summer Of Love, August 2007. Kurt, and bassist Ron Cordy, formed the punk/thrash band Overkill in 1982, later releasing "Triumph of the Will" in 1985 (after changing their name to "Overkill-L.A.", to avoid confusion with New York's "Overkill"). He was the group's main songwriter and was originally the guitarist but moved to drums.
Kurt played in Iron Butterfly with Doug Ingle, Lee Dorman, Mike Pinera and Larry Reinhardt in the winter of 1978/1979 for a short tour of the East Coast. He is eternally grateful to them for teaching him so much about playing music and also for the experience of a lifetime.

I must have watched this a 100 times in the last couple of months and it is still as good as I've seen anywhere. I would like to see what he could do with a slightly bigger kit and a decent video recorder. Is the rest of the band as talented? Thanks for the post and his name.

Yes, but nothin' serious, just playing around like the ol' days really.

Sorry but I have to disagree...this guy is not Ron Bushy the original drummer for Iron Butterfly. Although this guy is quite good he was never the Iron Butterfly drummer..there has only been one and this isn't him. Ron Bushy and Lee Dormann (both original members) are still touring the european circuit as Iron Butterfly.

I can play drums like that sometimes in my dreams.

[floydzepdeep]

YAY! closest that I have heard so far and the kit sounded just right. Is he the original guy? No offence to drummers out there but this man stands out in a crowd for me because it seems that he is the real deal, you know? Funky shit! Not just another bloke who can double bass at the speed of lighting and do fuck all else and get called great.
