oh some of the uh the advice here now i i you know i said for the final time
you know john
bonham's a better drummer than ginger baker he just is for what he's doing he's
playing rock
music he's better all right ginger baker had more in his vocabulary you know he
could do the jazz
drummer thing but as one of my friends said was he one of the greatest jazz
drummers of all time
no he was not all right tony williams fucking smoked that guy elvin jones
smoked that guy max
roach smoked that guy buddy rich smoked that guy but as far as rock drummers go
john bonham is the
greatest of all time all right that's my opinion dear bill dear bill bonham
thanks for being such
a funny bastard i've managed to get my mom hooked on your specials and she
always puts them on whenever
i visit oh that's really nice i really dig your discussions on drumming and
music in general too
as far as the question of baker versus bonham i find that ginger's playing is a
little more dialed back
not boring but his energy is definitely on a shorter leash than bonham's i can
see how his fills leave
something to be desired that being said his solos are really well spaced no solos
are incredible
uh they have a certain galloping quality that i find hypnotic i wouldn't argue
with that his solo
and blind faith's live performance of do what you like at hyde park illustrates
what i'm getting at i
recently watched that no i do think he's amazing but i mean we're talking about
the genre of rock that's
you know i gotta give it to bonham john is the man is the man though i don't
think ginger's comments
about him not being able to swing a bag of shit were called for yeah i thought
that was just all
jealousy i guess that's just how old jazz dudes looked at other musicians
though we all know how
great those triplets are uh what about the purdy shuffle he plays on fool in
the rain or cashmere
it blew my feeble human mind when i found out he was playing in a different
time signature from the
rest of the band in that song is that true i didn't even know that i honestly
love both players so much
but ginger's overly salty attitude gives him a deduction in my book yeah that
really is a shame
because everybody looked at him like he was one of the greatest of all time you
know so he should
have just taken the compliments instead of being a cunt and fucking trashing
all these other people
that were getting compliments gee i know a few people like that i've been like
that um i'd like
to acknowledge mitch mitchell from the jimmy hendrix hendrix experience as an
honorable mention too yeah
he was a fucking beast um he had those same jazz roots and vibes as ginger but
he definitely had a
brighter and more livelier personality in his playing i could listen to his
parts on manic depression over
and over uh anyways that's all i really have to say looking forward to your
future projects you know i
those are all great points i think i would get more into mitch mitchell i just
feel like the recording
of that music it's really muddy and i feel like it exists somewhere between
before stereo and after
stereo where um you know his drums are really low in the mix i feel or maybe my
ears aren't good enough
to pick up i mean i know the guy's you know killing it or whatever but i like
when i i watch when i want
to watch mitch mitchell i try to watch something on youtube where he's playing
live because then i feel
I feel like everything's at the same level
and I can really hear what he's doing.
