Drums Show - 7/13/09

Generally, my favorite beatzz and drum sounds from the post-punk era. And like just about everything else, my genre of choice features some of the most interesting, unconventional percussion out there. If you like that kind of stuff, than this is the show for you. If not, well then to hell with ya'.

That's cool that you got my boss Martin Atkins in here. He's doing all sorts of other things now (his book Tour:Smart, his school revolution number three, etc...) that sometimes it's easy to lose track of the fact that he started out as (and still is) an excellent drummer...

Awesome

Absolutely! I'm a huge fan of Martin's.

Besides the PIL track, I also obviously ended the show with "Breathe" off of Ministry's "The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste." He's listed as a credit on that album and I believe he went on tour with them that year as well. Do you happen to know offhand what his contributions were to the studio tracks?

Thanks for the comment!

Probably just a slipup, but Terry Bozzio was the drummer and Dale, the vocalist/his spouse.

Enjoyable show with some really good selections, but it's disappointing and surprising there was no mention of Yukihiro Takahashi(YMO) or Steve Jansen (Japan).

You are correct, it was just a mental error of name dyslexia there.

And you are also correct that those are certainly two great drummers that I did not feature. I never get to play everyone I want to in the 2 hour show. With a theme like percussion, it was even harder to pare down the list. I never was a big big fan of YMO though. Japan is a different story.
