Episode 4: Djazz Drumz
Written by Finn Turner on November 20, 2016
The “Worlds Greatest Drummer” Hal Blaine, photographed mid-drum.
This week’s theme: a nod to the “poor drummers”, featuring pieces with prominent, powerful, sensitive, and intuitive percussion (and basically any song with “drums” in the name). Jazz-centric, but with enough funk, rock, pop, and dad jokes to whet any palate. By the way, the names of all drummers and percussionists are listed after the group name (if they are not the leader).
He DID play on “Rockin’ Drummer”, a single from 1963, alongside Gary Chester.
