i was going on and on
about how much i love this set and all that and i fucked up and i want to
apologize to everybody
and actually met the lead singer of the band and the guitarist the lead singer
of the band
uh said uh he real quick was just like oh i love the way you say the word cut
you say it right and i
was just it was like the greatest compliment ever absolutely it's like when my
buddy joe de rosa was
in scotland in a bar at like four in the morning and some scottish guy said to
him he's like joe you
can fucking drink and he's just like it was like the greatest compliment ever
so i gotta apologize to
them okay it's it's it's my fault the fucking music i listened to in the 80s
you know i was into
fucking metal and all these skater guys and everything up the street my brother
hung out with uh well yeah
stop the messing around ball i'm like these guys aren't singing about the devil
they're not wearing
women's clothes i'm not listening to these guys i mean i was you know i was
very i was closed off
back then you know so um you know so you saw it you saw when i i've been taking
lessons with you for
about what a year and a half or so i think it's been longer than that man yeah
at least two right
this it felt like 10 for you coming in there i came in there like the crypt
keeper like all
crunched over and shit holding the sticks wrong forearms everything all jacked
up and i gotta tell
you like um you're on here besides the fact that you're a good friend of mine
you're on here because
you have a new uh a new drum instructional video right out called getting out
of your own way true
which i actually got to watch a lot of uh last night and it's all the stuff you
know that you've
been teaching me which was i was basically fighting the kit and yourself yeah i
was like yeah i was all
crunched over i was holding the sticks wrong i was just playing uphill yes
nothing was at the right
level and uh for the drummers out there who listen to this podcast i cannot
tell you like the stuff that
you showed me just getting me to sit up straight hold the sticks right and have
where i can hit it
due to my body type yeah it's made so much stuff that used to be really
difficult like borderline
effortless now you know however i still sucked because at the end of the day no
matter how much
you teach me to sit up straight i am still uh at the mercy of the talents that
i was blessed with but i'm
but i'm still you know yeah but it's a whole different ball game than when i
first saw you man
i mean because you work your ass off too you know that's that's it's like i can
show you show people
how to do things but if they don't put in the work nothing's going to change
you know you work
your ass off so i'm a lunatic dave yeah i know i get into that's my point that's
exactly what i'm
saying that's why i always stayed away from hard drugs because i would have
like i'd have like a
monogram coke spoon i would just be i would be a coke heads coke head i know it
if i did it so i try to
i try to send it into uh positive areas so uh it's a good plan well look i
gotta ask you i don't know
if i've ever even talked to this talk to you about this where it's just like so
you grew up in northern
california you said hell of this hell of that i'm sure right yes i got made fun
of a lot when i moved
to la sacramento king's fan maybe uh i did see the sharks a bit uh uh for
hockey when i was uh oh
fuck i just realized i'm in this leather chair if this is gonna make a bunch of
noise when i'm moving
around like that benny hill sketch you see that one where he wore the leather
pants one of the great
sketches no every time he had to deliver a line he would walk across the room
and it was just the
sound of his leather pants and he was sitting down crossing his legs and then
the other person would
talk fucking genius i'll have to check it out um anyways um so when you start
what made you
like want to play drums like what got you started is for what band oh what band
you know i don't know
if there was a i mean i had a friend who was taking drum lessons and i like
slept over at his house i was
like nine or something and he's like oh my drum teacher's coming over to give
me a lesson and i was
like oh i'll hang out and watch and and then i was like oh this seems fun and
then i sat down and i
could just kind of do it like it was right you just said you had that gift yeah
i was like oh
i can kind of do this and uh i'd never really had that experience before so i
just immediately got
hooked uh and so i was like nine or ten so this is like 93 94 right so this is
like god i'm old
dude i was 25 and 26. yeah that's crazy yeah but this is like old dude but
remember when we were
sending each other youtube clips about uh uh um i sent you that faith no more
clip and you sent me
the was a skid row is that what it was i don't remember probably skid i love skid
row it was that
it was like snl performances and it was like oh my god skid row on fucking snl
and it was like the same
year and it was like check out the we were talking about the shift in music
like right around like 91
92 i think it was and it was like how like right when grunge and all the stuff
was coming out and it
was just like hair metal to grunge was just like you were like what the it was
it was abrupt yes it was
like how a lot of divorces go down in la where there's like the day after the
prenup expires bam divorce
papers like that's the way the musical shift was but like uh as a kid i was i
at that point like uh
what year was that when when i think it was 91 91 92. yeah yeah and that's kid
row album i love that
album yeah and they were right and they were crushing and crushing yes and sebastian's
voice was just like
just one of the great front men yes absolutely of all time and i had i didn't
see that shift in music
coming i think away a lot of those bands didn't where i because i remember when
nirvana came out
i was like what the is this and i couldn't really even hear how good a band
they were and then that
first video they had the teen spirit when he was like doing doing like a a
basic solo and he was kind
of acting like he was doing the tap on solo it was clearly making fun of all
the guys that i liked
totally i was like dude these guys yeah fuck this band and it wasn't until i
saw them on unplugged and
i got in utero and everything and i was just like wow this these guys are
making like this is a
beautiful album and it took me but it took me like two and a half years of of
being like wait a minute
the 80s are over yeah because i'm old now yeah because you have that shit juxtaposed
right next
to each other and you're growing from spandex and lipstick and straightened
hair to like flannel
shirts the glam thing was only about three years okay it was right around 85 86
everybody got their
started dressing like men again around 87 88. they had a round table meeting
and we're like look
hey stop blowing up the hair let's go back to let's try to get a little more
almond brothers here and a
little less uh grease whatever the fuck they were doing but so so yeah so that
was the scene i was
growing up in when i started playing was what we're talking about right now so
you missed all all the
shit you would just you know 10 years old you i mean i mean i definitely
listened to a shitload of
phil collins uh when i was like a little kid 80s phil collins yeah like like
the later stuff that
everyone makes fun of oh susudio yeah i mean you know yeah i wasn't like
listening to that
song specifically but like you sure about that
a little bearded 10 year old dave dancing around sue sue studio i did come out
of the womb with a
beard by the way oh you did yeah just always been hairy yeah that's what it is
that's why you went to
the drums you're a fucking animal that's true i've heard that more than once um
did you uh so then when
when when you uh when all that grunge stuff came out was that just sort of
music to you as opposed to
no no like being like oh this is a you weren't old enough to realize like wow
we just went from
this to that no not at all that's what i'm saying is like because that happened
i remember listening to
sir it's actually funny like saying this like i listened to so much phil collins
but i would hear
like new wave stuff or or 80s stuff like tears for fears and be like oh gross
and now i love love that
stuff right um but at the time it was like the least cool ever yeah you know i've
gone back to the 80s
a bunch of times going oh wow this band was actually pretty good yeah yeah and
it's and a lot of that
stuff is so like interesting and esoteric and weird ways that you check it out
now and some of it's aged
poorly but some of it's aged in like a really cool way yeah i didn't like a lot
of just the sound
of shit that came out in the 80s whatever that sound was i saw somebody sent me
a video you know
about how they they came up with that that sound for the drums right that was
the phil collins peter
gabriel yeah you sent me that was just a complete accident where there was a
mic on in the studio
and somebody played a phil yeah and it was it was the it was in the control
room or something like
that yeah phil collins was apparently the there's various stories but
apparently phil collins was
playing drums on uh one of peter gabriel's solo albums um and he was trying out
phil's or whatever
and someone hit the talkback mic uh so if you know for people who haven't
recorded in a recording studio
when you're in the control room you hit the talkback mic and they you can then
hear what the person's
saying uh or or if you're in the studio tracking drums you can't hear what
anyone's saying in the
control room right so they have to hit a talkback mic a button so you can hear
what's going on
and basically they went to talk to phil and they hit the talkback mic and he
played a drum fill over
that and the the the talkback mic picked it up just got super blown out and
they were like whoa that
was crazy it was like a complete accident and that's how that gated like and
then peter gabriel
was like i like that sound yeah and then which was probably i imagine a cool
sound initially and
then it it was just overused and then and that's how everything happens now it's
totally like in
vogue again like everyone i mean it's sort of starting to get overused now but
it just went through
a whole thing over the past five years where that was super hip again that's
going on in my business
right now where they just they i don't know what's they're just rebooting
everything that i already
watched they're just going they're pouring through imdb to be like is this guy
still alive do you think
he wants to do uh who's the boss again or fucking not who's the boss i'm trying
to think of something
more obscure than that um she's the sheriff is that a show that was a show
really and the only reason
why i know that is because a friend of mine was on it for a couple episodes and
he said it one night
and it was just like dude that's one of the great references i don't even know
what that is that w
