I asked Google AI what it thought of Meg White's drumming style and also tried to get evidence that Ringo Starr may have commented at some time about how they have similar styles and approaches to focusing on the needs of the band rather than just being fancy percussionists like Peart or Collins.

Motion to abolish e-kits, and add more percussionists to fill the void. 🪘🪘

Low brass consistently feels like the most chill place to be

Those guys are just vibin

The clarinets share a single brain cell, the trumpets have Game of Thrones ass drama because they have an active medieval caste system, and percussionists are dang ass freaks but low brass will offer you a blunt

I wonder if there's any *Symbolism* behind the percussionists getting into crashes.

When the piccolos show up at protests - all hell will break loose. And if they show up with percussionists...boom! 😁

It's an art form unto itself! (same for percussionists)

I'm a pianist though so it's sort of second nature...

All that to say, despite being regularly left out of these conversations, drummers and percussionists have their own battles to face when it comes to reading music that other instrumentalists may never consider or experience.

I really enjoy Drumeo’s series where they play famous percussionists drum-less versions of songs they’ve never heard and have them craft a part to see what approach they take and their new video where the Mars Volta is unpacked by Chad Wackerman may be their best yet. youtu.be/ExNXgYeDjig?...

18-minute TRUCKIN’ > TERRAPIN STATION (with big cheers at “busted...”) sets up bill graham’s spectacle, 38-minute MAN SMART/WOMAN SMARTER > DRUMZ > SPACE > THROWING STONES > TOUCH OF GREY. weir inserts bit of IKO IKO into MAN SMART, with “gung hay fat choy!” […]

[Original post on heads.social]
setlist from the Golden Road - The second night was considerably | more sloppy, though not without its -~ high points. Particularly strong was the > version of “Truckin’” that opened the - second set. There had been some tension \ surrounding the shows as a result of . Garcia’s early January bust, and this | song gave everyone the catharsis they . needed when the band came to the - “Busted, down on Bourbon Street ...” . line. Garcia smiled ever so slightly as the t crowd roared during that chorus and . then he backpedalled to his amp after . “They just won't let you be ... oh no,” t shaking his head and grinning. It was | a great moment that lifted everyone’s > spirits. 5 As “Man Smart” rolled into the drum v solo, the spotlight shifted over to a small martial arts demonstration in front of cymbal stage to one side of the main stage, and there, a number of kung fu fighters dem- onstrated their steps as a group of Chinese percussionists and Mickey and Billy set down a furious Asian dance beat. Some mentioned that the violence (though simulated) of the kung fu danc- ers seemed out of place at a Dead show, but certainly there were moments of grace in the moves they demonstrated during their segment. (Particularly thrill- ing was a duel between a warrior wield- ing two broad swords and one carrying a long wooden staff.) Next, a pair of drag- ons — the traditional parade favorites at San Francisco’s annual Chinese New Year’s celebration — entered from the rear of the hall, snaked through the crowd and then offered a menacing dance during the abbreviated “space.” Alas, from that point the show disin- tegrated, ending abruptly with a fair “Throwing Stones” and the worst, most mistake-lffled “Touch of Gray” I've ever heard. Perhaps the festivities in some way derailed the show’s momentum.

In my experience, community bands especially need percussionists and double reed players!

If you played an instrument back in high school and stopped: we are in a golden age of decent cheap instruments.

The guitars are better, the amps are better. The pedals are cheaper, the wind instruments are actually instruments and not just shaped like them, etc.

Jump back into it.

This is a remarkably unfunky song, considering it has three percussionists #totp

Tons of fun & lovely too. The percussionists steal the show with meat cleavers, cereal boxes, and scrubbing pads. The Kingston Symphony premieres John Estacio's Domestic Divertimento.
