Too bad Page was a contreal freak, or this lineup may have still been together. Stanier, was/is one of the most influencial drummers in progressive rock, including Danny Carey from Tool, both on another level.

Helmet is the SICKEST band ever. Page's voice cuts you like a knife. It's so intense and hard hitting. The drums are sick, too. F'n best band....ever.

He has never used a piccolo snare for Helmet.
Just use a regular sized (like 14"x5") Metal or Brass snare. Then put on some clear drumheads on it (like Remo ambassador clear) and tune it as high as possible!! (Don´t use any damping!)
Now when You play Rimshots Your snare will sound like Staniers snare on the "Betty" recordings - THE BEST SNARE SOUND EVER
-
they're so tight!!!
-
god, theyre so effing tight!!!!
-
Big fat metal snare (14x5.5+), 2 ply snare skin tightened to the max and the rest is brutal rim shots.

DAT FUCKING SNARE

Helmet still sound fresh today. This is my favorite Helmet song. John Stanier fucking rules.



Fuck I love this song! Stanier is The Best rock drummer ever, the rhythm is relentless, great synchro/dichotomy between guitar and drums. I play this in a band, its alot of fun. A great band in their prime. Takes me back to when music was quality, not like the crap that gets churned out these days. shame aren't still together. Does anyone know what Stanier is doing now?

Stanier's main gig these days is Battles, with former Don Cab guitarist Ian Williams and experimental musician Tyondai Braxton. Check my profile, I have a live performance of the song Atlas in my favorites. Stanier also played drums on all three Tomahawk albums, a band that also features former Jesus Lizard guitarist Duane Denison and vocal madman Mike Patton.

I knew FBLA 2 from Betty, and I discovered FBLA the first on Strap It On, I really like the one on Strap It On a lot !!!

Strap It On's my favorite, hands down. I don't think any of Helmet's songs ever topped Sinatra.

The only songs I have are this one and Street Crab (check my profile). I wish there was more. The footage was shot by a local MTV-type tv station that only needed a few minutes of action, just enough for their story on Helmet the next day.
Thanks for the comment!
