Periodic reminder I'm still looking for electronica bands with acoustic drums, either featured in their studio productions or live performances. Streaming platforms' matching algorithms can't be that specific, so any suggestion is welcome and as a starter point, here's Muriatic by Polynation.
"You were expected to play what you don’t know, not what you already know…It’s easy to sit home and play all kinds of great ideas, great, but then when you’re playing with an ensemble, you can’t play that sh*t. You gotta react with the musicians, and sometime that may require you just keeping time and not playing all the hip stuff… it doesn’t work, because now you are part of a team. - Jazz drumming great, Jack DeJohnette #jass#drumming#drums#musicians#practice#performance

Doing a little late night recording for an upcoming project from an old friend. I'm using the house kit at work - Slingerland drums and Zildjian K cymbals. My favorite fringe benefit of the job. Membership has its privileges.
Happy Birthday to Clyde Stubblefield, the OG Funky drummer. 🥰 We had the honour of recording the great man for an album we produced with Alison Limerick, back in the late 90s. None of the tracks were ever used, but it was an absolute riot recording our hero!

Man, I love Vinnie's drumming. He's so good at playing a groove that many will not realize this song is in 5/4 time (this is a 'rough' recording with video.)

I decided to post an introduction, let's say, once per month with the objective of reaching as many people as possible who might be interested in what I do 🙃
My name is Luca, I'm a drummer and IT professional from Italy, currently based in the Czech Republic.
I want to get into #drums again. More intense. It makes so much fun, that’s why I have the following idea: #FediJam
If you’re a guitar player and you’d have some fun making some jamming, I’d love to contribute. Do you have a theme but no drums? Send me your track and I’ll put something on it.
Without a goal and pressure. I don’t want to release anything. Just for fun. Without big expectations.
Maybe a live jamming would be also a possibility with tools like https://jamulus.io/#Jamulus
