KyleMarathonDrums ::: Favorites As for Baker's solo: I enjoy its consistent groove, and how he uses ghost notes on the snare as a basis for travelling around the kit and giving nice triplets. His eclectic approach (including African-like beats) helps give the solo good variety. And that's quite interesting, because he's really not playing anything too difficult. He's just well-relaxed and making a good groove. Drummers who can take something simple and make it sound golden with imagination are good drummers in my book. 07-07-29 12:15:06 _____________________________________________________
KyleMarathonDrums ::: Favorites The fact of the matter is, Baker is actually just a very simple drummer, who uses lots of basic rudiments and eclectic beats (i.e. African) to give his solos power. Really, I don't think he's that skilled a drummer, but I think he's aiming more for ideas than technique, and just gets a good groove going. I don't think a solo has to have a bunch of tricks to make it sound good, but that's just me. 07-07-29 12:25:16 _____________________________________________________
KyleMarathonDrums ::: Favorites Why are people so shocked because he's in his 60's? Let's remember that to achieve good drumming you have to learn how to relax. Baker has learned that, which is why he's still doing so well. You don't have to have a lot of energy to drum well. If you happen to no longer be able to drum well enough while your old JUST because you're old and don't have as much energy, you've been drumming the wrong way. 07-07-29 12:32:28 _____________________________________________________
rushfan30 ::: Favorites I agree with the statement that we should all just enjoy. Guess having won so many competitions as a drummer I have a tendancy to critique every drum solo I hear. Sorry. It's a tasteful solo, but it should have been much shorter because it's quite repetitive. 07-07-29 22:55:56 _____________________________________________________

Jolby32 ::: Favorites Toad doesn't really compare to the live moby dick. There both great solos but bonzo's is a little faster and less repetative. 07-08-15 09:23:07 _____________________________________________________
