Icky. He's really not playing much of anything. Cool twirling, but that's really more of a "girl in a short cheerleader skirt flipping a baton around" kind of thing. I'm sorry guys. I don't like it.

...and get off my grass you young hoodlums!

Thats the worst miming job to a music track I've seen since Keith Moon.......but then again Keith did that on purpose because he hated miming to a track! This guy just has no clue.......

The first guy is using an 80's product called "Spinners". They were a pair of rings connected that allowed you to spin your sticks. You can see the black bands around his fingers when he does a fill. Also, he is too far to one end of the stick to spin them that easily. Could you imagine the nightmare trying to mike this guy, he hardly hits the cymbals sometimes which would drive the FOH guy nuts!! DOH

I was working on one of the TDE sites which is all about stick tricks.. I did find it interesting that stick tricks and spinning is attributed to some well known current drummers when in fact drummers like Lionel Hampton had an excellent stick trick routine.

There are plenty of other early greats that did all kinds of tricks and show style drumming to enhance their solos and fills.

Everything is taken to an extreme!

If they are connected to the stick, then how does he detach them to flip them up in the air??? Inquiring minds want to know....DOH

Hmm.. Don't know. I never had any.

OK, maybe he's not using them. I can admit when I'm wrong. Besides, if you ask my wife, I'm rarely right... about anything :D

I, I, I, I, don't know about all that mess. Was the first dude the guy that got the gig playing in the band "Europe"? Everything is just too pretty; the hair, the kit, the spinny-ginny, twirly-swirly stick-stuff is way over the top - maybe I'm just jealous cause I cant even twirl my hair. Then again, it was an '80's audition. Some things should be left to die.
