I agree. Classic R&B is where it's at. Al Green. Marvin. Even the Bee Gees. Vintage drums were made for this genre.

Can't argue with classic R&B, but I also like "Nuggets"-style garage rock.

i'm most comfortable on a country Ray-Price heavy shuffle as long as I've got hard driving bass man beside me.

I suck. I'm still more comfortable with a guitar in my hand and a real drummer in the driver's seat. LoLoLoLo

Jazz and swing are my roots and I enjoy playing all sorts of jazz styles - 20s to 60s, but I also enjoy some good 40s/50s Rock'n'Roll - Louis Jordan, Wynonie Harris, the Treniers, stuff like that. But then again I can get into Hank Williams and Bob Wills and similar too. Hell, I'm just a drum slut really... So long as it swings, it's hot and it's happy, then I'm in! Keep on Pl:D

On the stage!

April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp





once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.
