[bit.listserv.allmusic] The influence of Peart on young drummers

GRUTZ@UNTVAX.BITNET (Peart through the ages.. :)) (02/06/90)

You'll have to admit, Peart does show techincal capability in his playing.
He has influenced me heavily in his use of musicality in his playing... I
have taken much of what he has done and applied it to my every-day
drumming.  But, he's not the only one I listen to.... Infact, I don't
think I have any of the RUSH CD's yet..  Of course, i don't have the MONEY
to go out and buy them all.

One drummer everyone never hears about is Chad Wackerman.  Last I heard,
he was still drumming for Frank Zappa.  Which brings up another question..
Has anyone heard anything about Zappa putting out something new lately?
Last one I have (besides the "You can't do that on stage anymore") was
the live recording: _Broadway The Hard Way_ .. is he going to be
Synclaving around now ?

(ok, that makes 3 drummers... enough for a listserv yet?? *grin*)

   Chad Wackerman is on Ed Mann's new album. Pretty hip. It has the horn
players from Zappa's band in it. I don't think Frank is going to do much of
anything for a while. I gathered that from a People interview with him.

   Mr Beer, you might be interested in Ed Mann's album. Kinda jazzy.

Drum Request:  I heard that Barriemore Barlow died on  Robert Plant's
Principle of Moments tour.  Is this so?  Please tell me!  ANYONE!! FOR THE
LOVE OF GOD, TELL ME!!!!!
(sob)
But seriously, I also heard that like Bruce Lee he went into ten years of secret
    training and  is currently living in Argentina with Elvis, Jim Morrison, and
Adolf Hitler.
