Wow, this really caught me by surprise! I never knew this about him.

[–] Quasimodo (16388) 3 years ago

Yes before he became the famous Peter Sellers he was a drummer. And Dudley Moore was an accomplished pianist, mostly jazz but he also played classical on occasions.

Impressive! Yeah, it would take a helluva drummer to handle those huge, built-up kits of his.

Thanks for this. Damn, what a beautiful drum set!

reply

[–] FentonMeiks (1349) 3 years ago

I should have mentioned Yanic plays fast heavy metal. not everyones taste.

i'll put out there Golden Earring's Cesar Zuiderwijk
dude looks insane and intense, at one point he just bites a cymbal in that 84 video.
both videos have unique gimmicks.

In that '84 clip he looks like he needs medical attention.

I've never been a fan of heavy metal but I'm objective enough to concede that all drummers are driven by a passion, an intensity. This one, another favorite of mine, seems to have a similar style to your submission: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0x6chChxzV0

Not far off metal that song , a bit of crunchy distortion and it's there . Pantera were one of the pioneers of groove metal and your boys Grand funk railroad had groove in spades judging by that song you linked .

reply

[–] db20db (17235) 3 years ago

Yeah, I always saw them as pioneers during my 'rocker' years. They had a great sound for a band comprised of just three guys and they were very popular.

I agree. Both have been mentioned earlier in this thread and like I said, I'm a "dinosaur" when it comes to this topic. ;) Great video, btw.

[–] GlenEllyn (21526) 3 years ago

Here's another person and she's no slouch, either.

Wow, another surprise featuring someone I had no idea was a good drummer!

reply

[–] GlenEllyn (21526) 3 years ago

By the way, I'm a dinosaur, too. 😉 Even though its heyday was before my time, I like big band music the best, as well as many of the vocalists of that era. I enjoy some pop music artists from the 50s, 60s, and 70s, but never really liked classic rock or heavy metal.

reply

[–] db20db (17235) 3 years ago

Well GE, some 50s, 60s, and 70s music would be considered as classic rock.

reply

[–] GlenEllyn (21526) 3 years ago

I know, but I'm more Carpenters than Led Zeppelin.

reply

[–] db20db (17235) 3 years ago

During those Classic Rock days, GE... it wasn't at all unusual to find LPs of both, side by side, in my music collection. ;)
