Tombo's grooves

[beat Hit]

At last.. Just finished listening... Thanks for the clips.

So what can I say Tombo... Verrry good playing!! Very much worthy of being posted on HOD!

The hard working years hidden in your practice room have definitly paid off. You have a very good feel and timing. And the 16th note Triplet Fill refered to above was well chosen and well executed, it made me smile as I listened to it... [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

Out of curiosity... What sort of Ride were you using? Oh why not ask... How about the drums?

As Danny asked, do you have more? (True that Danny's got good discerning ears [img]wink.gif[/img] )

Thanks Blake for your kind words!
And your stuff is so cool!!
You could do that fill this way if you have 2 toms:

RLLRLR LFFRLL RLRLFF RLRLRL F/R (Sticking)
SssS12 2BBSss S122BB SS1122 B/C (Fill)

Thank you also Rudy!
To quote you:

Well, what can I say other than thanks very much, you made me feel better. I just HATE hearing my recordings, because I don't think I've ever recorded anything where the timing, or, execution of fills are bang on all the way through. Everytime I listen to other players, they always seem have to everything perfectly nailed. But thanks

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">You also seem to feel like me, still you sound pretty good.
Maybe the word ?mistakes? is not the right one but it?s things a listener may not hear at first but that become noticeable when you open the ?musical microscope?. Things like some uneven backbeats or slightly anticipated bass drum strokes, transitions and so on...Being imperfect is human, but it?s also human to strive for perfection. I haven?t done that many pro studio sessions but each time I did I felt my playing took a quantum leap. Much more significant than when I record myself in a practice room. I think it?s because you?re in a pressure situation. Your ears are totally opened up because you have to quickly create and execute things with precision and feel, things that will remain. Listening to cristal clear playbacks in the control room with the feedbacks of a producer and artist is probably the best improvement situation, you become a sponge. I?m sure that drummers that do it on a daily/weekly basis develop the greatest ears, confidence, control, accuracy, time and feel.

Maybe guys here that record on a regular basis could expand on this (Randy, Blake, Dazzler, or others?). Also, have some of you already felt that something you recorded was THE track, like: This is it! Perfect! Couldn?t do any better! 100% happy with feel and execution! Honestly, If it ever happened, how is it? Must be Nirvana??

Tombo,

Just bring out the 'tomb' for me, man!

You're fantastic! I love it!

Now, I CAN'T WAIT to hear you tear up
that Palmieri (afraid)!

Just remember this quote from our hero:

"If it sounds right, it is right."

Nice playing, and thanks for the breakdown of the fill. It's now officially "borrowed". [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

When I 1st heard Tombo's fill...[very nicely executed within the groove, btw [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] ]...it struck me as being similar in theme [altho prob not intentionally] to a couple of licks Enzo Todesco plays in Gino Vanelli's "Brother to Brother" off the "Live Montreal" CD [rec'd 11-18-90]; 1 of which being in his solo drum 'trades' between the gtr lick/vamp [i think it's the 2nd fill]...it's partly the same lick, if i recall correctly, similar in motif to Tombo's, altho it has additional stickings ...both are excellent fills to spice up the arrangement [img]wink.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] ....

(due to me finally getting ADSL, I can now download all the HOD stuff...harrah)...

...and those songs were AMAZING! So much damn GROOVE! I actually started air-drumming without realising it, now THATS a good sign!

Hi Tombo, congratulations!, I just heard some of the songs and they sound great [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] .
By the way, what's the name of the singer?.
Five or six years ago I recorded some tracks for an album of some Argentinian singer, I never meet him but his voice is kind of similar.
I can't remember the name but I think is Freddie something. Maybe is the same guy [img]wink.gif[/img] .

Well...Thanks to you Neber and Pedro!
The guy works under his last name: Saldana (with an ?~? on the ?n?, that you don?t want to forget!). Would it be him?

Merci Fuse!,
I?d be curious to hear that CD. You?ve talked about it a couple of times before I think. Gino (and his drummers) are always good live. BTW, I?ll go see Gino in a month for the 3rd time. He?ll be backed up by an 11-piece band featuring Uzeb?s rhythm section: Paul Brochu/Alain Caron. Each time he?s in town, he plays in this tiny 100-seats theater that has amazing acoustics..and the band is in your face. Can?t wait! (I?ll post a review).

Thenk ye Roy !
A name drummer (who was it ?) once said: ?Good drummers borrow, Great drummers steal !?
You?re great, so STEAL the lick!

Gracias Peter!
I?m still not fully equipped for home recording. I got the mics, the soft but need some more $$ for the multi-input soundcard. You know what it is! When wife wants a new kitchen floor and tells you to stop buying toys [img]wink.gif[/img] !

I don't think so, the name doesn't sound familiar, but who knows... artist and singers change their name without warning [img]wink.gif[/img]
