Needs a double pedal

[rhythmtraders]

@generatrix999

I thought it was kickin' pretty hard already!!!

[matttee13]

Where's Steve from?

[rhythmtraders]

@matttee13 He's from the UK, born in Brighton. I think he said his father was from the Caribbean and mother was European

Deeper than deep groovermaster. One of my favourites!

Thanks for posting.

[rhythmtraders]

@PaulDamen

Agreed!!! On both accounts.

He's the monster. One of the greatest grooves. He never overplayed or overpowered. His embellishments left you shaking your head and wanting more but he knew the value of what he was doing. Great work with the very underrated AWB. Great career. Can't say enough about him. Anybody would have wanted him on their side.

I always dug that groove from 2:16 to 3:06. It's a variation of the intro he did on the the track "So Misled" from Duran Duran's Notorious album.

Best snare sound ever , I love Mr Steve Ferrone .....

[ktthumbs]

he don't need double pedals, go listen to Lamb of God if you want double base ...

[evilhubert]

@generatrix999 not.

[direwoody]

He's a great drummer but I think he's a fucking music mercenary. He's playing now with a band called The Straits, a Dire Straits cover band with some members that played with the band in the 80's and 90's. In some places they are being advertised as Dire Straits. I wish all of the luck to him but I hope their tour just bombs!!!!!

[cashendley]

@GangstaGodBiggy my favorite drummer with AWB

[svantebeaverman]

@generatrix999

No double pedal, but certainly more Cowbell

All you need to hear from Steve is his tasty playing on Clapton's "24 Nights" live album - his grooves are so frickin' deep and he breathes new life into those old Cream tunes - he always plays what is appropriate for THE SONG and always complements the band

I want the groovesters to here Steve Jordan on Pick Hits...! Get that syncopation.....I've posted on here I think... Everyone knows the Dennis Chambers version....

[ignarukih]

@generatrix999 and more gravity blasting.

[mhbass]

Steve is one of the baddest that ever sat down. Yall know how he held it down for AWB......a phenomenal hit-hat wizard!
