Thinking on this more, and since the album last week or so is celebrating 25 years, I want to shout out Rusted Root’s When I Woke. Yeah I know we are getting away from albums here but the whole sound of the album is drum forward in a way you don’t hear a lot.
Drum Trip is the obvious drum forward song, but even Ecstacy and Send Me On My Way have prominently featured drums you cannot ignore.
Went to a "classic albums live" thing last night and was reminded of the drums on this track we usually remember for the intro.
Sérgio Mendes - Fanfarra
Loads of breaks have been sampled off this album but this is probably the most well known. Heavy as fuck.
Never thought of the drums on a song like this but they're pretty rad.
Obvious post is obvious.
How the hell Danny does this, especially in his late 50s, is beyond me. Octopus nickname is so well-earned.
