There is passage in that Sting song, 3:20 in on the video that is drumming perfection. Sublime.

Sting always had the best drummers, Manu Katche, Stewart Copeland, Vinnie Colaiuta.

Manu Katche did Dire Straits 'Money for Nothing', gated reverb heaven.

This level of drumming blows my mind each time i see it...

I'm crap at the piano but I do love playing the thing.

Me too. Waste of a Steinway model D.

This lass sussed Nick Drake's weird tunings, as it happens on this song 'Cell Song' it was only a G down an F# or something, might be in the vid I append below. Great song, lad is great too, he;s nae bad...

Good that. I bought a guitar about 13 years back and had a couple of lessons from a customer services guy(who was in a band) who sent an email out offering lessons. I took a free lesson, having never played before, started to get the hang of it, then headed off with him and bought an electric guitar. I had two more lessons before the contract finished, I met the missus and I moved on. Never played it again. It's in the roof now, bagged and in mint condition.

I reckon most muso's only play so they can get laid.

The last thing I need to tackle musically is drums and unlikely to ever happen.

Prefer to use a drum machine to a live drummer.

You only need to punch the information into a drum machine once......

Much cheaper in beer too.

Neil Peart, nuff said - not a drum fan but I know he's not bad...

I was a trained snare dummer and when I got on the kit everything was about hitting everthing as fast as you could, I have a bit of dowling rod with a 3kg weight on a bit of rope, used to wind up up then drop and repeat.

Then I heard Superstition by Stevie Wonder and realised I had got it all wrong.

Oh yes, I can go to that level of drumming for about 15 seconds, then the wrists cramp. Guy is an machine.

All those changes in timing, amazingly precise and reminds me Carl Palmer when he was doing it.

Have you come across Mike Portnoy? Now that's a drummer.

Every time I see the stones playing I always look to see Charlie Watts playing the drums, guy is an absolute fraud.
