This is a clip from a drummer who's sadly been neglected in the US and definitely deserves more attention, namely Morgan ?gren..

This is taken from a instrucional video he has out demonstrating different styles... this clip showcases more aggressive playing...

Cool man...that album rocks although I personally like the M/M stuff better...

How 'bout everyone else???

Comments, rants??

Dos the swedish style of drumming appeal or appall you??? (reaaally lame joke, I know...)

Or was the file simply too big to even bother downloading?

...

[FlamTriplet]

Definately worth downloading. Some great stuff. A lot of it is in odd meter with a quarter note on the cymbal, with various odd phrases in the triplet rate, which resolve every once in a while. [img]eek.gif[/img]
For those of you who don't know, Morgan was Zappa's last drummer. He played on the Zappa Universe VHS and CD.

Sorry, the link seems to be broken....

Try:

and click on the link...
it should work....

[Burzmali]

As far as I know, apart from having played with Zappa, he's played with Denny Walley, Glenn Hughes, Simon Steensland, Dweezil Zappa, Kroumata among others...
..but he's mostly playing with his own group, Mats/Morgan Band, you should definitely check out their cd's.. here's a link:

I would recommend the "On air with guests" disc or the live disc... either way though, you can't go wrong with a dose of Morgan...

[Bergermeister]

Thanks Burz for the clip and Flam for the info! Would like to hear more. Who else has Morgan drumt for?

[Burzmali]

Oooops!!!
I totally forgot...
Of course Morgan has a homepage where you check out what he's up too and stuff...
He also has a really cool story there about his time playing with Frank Zappa, great stuff...

Anyway, if you liked Morgan's playing you should definitely take a gander at:
