...yes, please close.
Ok, my patience has reached its end. I don't know how the others feel but to me the above post is truly pathetic. I thought we nearly got a decent discussion going, but its looks as though the mods have to take action.
...yes, please close.
I must admit.
I have tears coming out of my eyes from extreme laughter everytime he goes to the blowjob thing.
As stupid as he is, he's pretty funny.
BTW Drumdick, Shawn Pelton was one of Kenny's students. And his time grooves harder than Billy's in any style. Period.
Kenny Arnoff is one incredible player
that knows how to play the right thing
at the right time and not just in the
studio but live.
I have all the respect for him. Play on,
Kenny! Play on!

It's nice to see that H.O.D. has a "government" that does not allow the Freedom of Speech!!! That's right: "He's saying things that we don't like. We'll just have to shut him down and get rid of him."
If one of the several mods could take action that would be great. We have a hopeless case here.
Oh, MAN...did KA bad mouth you & you lost a bunch of gigs as a result, or something? Ah, don't answer that. Looks like u r havin' 1 bad day!
I don't get your last post. You haven't been censored or shut down...but it looks like you're just egging it on to be...why push it so far to where you get censored, & then have no where to scream "Censorship!" [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img]
Dude, we get it already. Altho I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit I'm still laughing at your posts, just because they're SOOoo OTT! But that last one...*phew.* I wanna take ya seriously, man, but you're making it hard to [DEF NO pun intended!]...I'm too busy laughing incredulously [img]eek.gif[/img]
So, eh, I hear you don't particularly care for KA's playing... /;cP
OK, sorry, I'm done here.
Take a DEEEEP breather, DR, & reee-lllaaaax! [AWA everyone else involved] I don't want ya to have to join the ranks of delete-worthy trollmeisters...altho you will have been one of the most absurdly entertaining! [img]wink.gif[/img]
Altho KA is far from being a fave of mine, I must agree w what fftha, sus [earlier], & especially pete c said with regards to his playing. But I also agree he is way out of his element when speaking of cats of VC, DW, & so on's calibre...oh well...
I can also tell you, altho you already indicated that u r aware of it, that Nashv does indeed have those "exceptions," & a few of them are really frightening players. Maybe not quite VC calibre [who is?], but def very close enough in their own right...one I know personally in particular. Another, just an aquaintance. Both are SCARY chops/phrasing/fusion/schooled guys, & can groove HARD from the gut too, & can play as simply, & as musically, & for what the music calls for. Another, well...he's a groover, indeed more "the KA type" [no laughing, there!] ;cp, And yet another, a hard groover AWA Jeff Phreak who also has the chops...all tour with big name acts [one records the studio stuff AW]. They're just trying to make a living too.
Allll-rrrrrightey, then.

I always thought that the stuff KA played on grooved for what it was, & within the partic genre it usually is. He is a pop & rock 1st call session & touring ace, with good time & ears, for those gigs, not a blow you away fusion beast.
I agree w flar: Jordan, Drayton, etc, good players. A strong time feel is not to be ignored, no matter what the genre. If it sets well & feels good, so be it. Then I can also sit here all day & talk about the other true kings, Gadd, Newmark, Ersk, Jeff, Vega, Marotta, Robinson, Keltner, Purdie, J Keane, on & on. Oh, & Mickey Curry can fat lay down a pop or rock groove like a beast, at least on the sessions & live recordgs I've heard. He's not known as a fusion, chops, or solo guy, but he has a great sense of time & pocket for what he was called for.
But I might have to call ya on this one: [img]wink.gif[/img]<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Six words:And to this day, I haven't heard anyone with sick chops play as in the pocket as the guys that are only known for playing time.

There's nothing to call him on.
There are no rights and wrongs when it comes to what you feel when you hear someone. Other than Pelton, Gadd for me is the only on in that list who's over all feel in track make me want to move my hips and cry all at the same time. Garibaldi as amazing as he is was never a session drummer. Omar is, but still, to me Pelton has the best feel.
By the time Pelton is Gadd's age he would have played 10x the amount of recordings. Like SDK, groove wise, I love that thing that Charley Drayton has.
But we can't really argue, they're all great players. Shawn's feel just kills me. I read this in a recording magazine, I don't remember which one. But if you include all the music where Shawn has been sampled, or where they have used loops of his drumming off of a loop CD, as well regular sessions, he has played on more recordings than Purdie and Gadd combined. And he's only about 38. I think.
Opinions are like a^&holes. You know. So let's put this to rest and get crazy dick outta here!
