"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

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.)

Canadian punk drummer Jon Card, who played with D.O. A., SNFU, The Subhumans and Personality Crisis, died on Monday in Vancouver. Here's a tribute to him from The Georgia Straight's Mike Usinger, who spoke to D.O.A. frontman Joe Keithley about his experiences of working with Card. “It was like playing with Buddy Rich,” Keithley says. “He would go completely out of control, and then he’d just land perfectly on time.” You can also see footage of Card drumming with D.O.A for "The Prisoner."
Another day at the office . . . I realize I don't look so cool when I'm reading a chart and trying to nail the click track . . . There’s stuff going on in my headphones that you can’t hear that made this a little more interesting than usual . . . #musicproduction#mymusic#fedijams#drums#drumming#recording#fedimusic#music
And I even got paid!
I didn't know I was gonna get paid,
mom told me today.
So it just added to it.
I didn't think I'm really at a level to get paid for this,
but (old) people really liked!
so imma take the compliments (and the money).
