John JR Robinson is one of the most recorded drummers in music history. We briefly met before his only clinic appearance in Germany 2016, where he played some polka, his signature intro and other things for me.
Listing live encounters with some dark age music is easy for me: zero. That changed last weekend when I met with the minstrels of eternity: Furunkulus. Watch, listen and learn something about the davul.
Of course you know the Sanford double beat, but how about DoubleBeats? The latter is a percussion duo from Berlin, which I visited in the holy drum storage of the Berlin Philharmonic.
So who is that Cat with a hat and one more, who meets drummers, asks them questions and records it all on camera? What does she know about drumming anyway? Can she even hold sticks properly?
Yes, I can and am a drummer!
Tool’s Danny Carey couldn’t make it, but Vinnie Colaiuta, John “JR” Robinson and Nicko Mc Brain had a blast with the new “Paiste Monad Danny Carey Signature Ride Cymbal”.
