  • My uncle used to sell this guy cocaine.

  • I got this video lesson and found it to be really informative. The trick with Russ, Keltner, Jim Gordon, andy newmark=they all lay down simple grooves, almost meditative soul and yet when deconstructed it's the FEEL that it lends to each song/artist. This guy and this type of work is a lost art, gone forever. Russ is killer!!

  • I can't find the full length of this on ivideosongs....and I can't find Itunestv, only tv shows - any clues?

  • Mr. Kunkel, There is a live recording of "Running on Empty" in which you play such a mind-boggling drum part that it should be THE definition of musicality expressed via a modern drum set. I wish I knew which version of the song Iistened to as there are (I believe) several with you on drums playing live.

    Anyways, I have played drums for 40 years, and have heard hundreds (thousands?) of drummers, but I have never heard anything so perfect and musical as the recording I reference above.

  • Russell- I am 48 now. My sig-other bought me a drum set for Christmas. He is a brave man. I will die a happy man after I can adequately play the drum intro of both HOW DO I MAKE YOU and GET CLOSER. Thanks, man, you made my life brighter!
