Isn't it Terry Bozzio's kit?
ReplyDeleteYeah, this is Terry Bozzio's kit and as such it is obviously built for solo performances and not for playing with a band.
ReplyDeleteI also doubt that all those awards on the wall belong to whoever posted the ad.
yeah, i wonder how much that kit would cost. more than a drummer not in a band could afford, likely.
ReplyDeleteTerry Bozzio can play in my band ANY TIME!!
ReplyDeleteWow! That guy must have really long arms! (Or perhaps very long drumsticks.)
ReplyDeleteDrummer seeks band with very big van!!
ReplyDeletethat's just silly, the band would be better off getting a drum machine.
Terry Bozzio annoys me. How many kick drums do you need?
ReplyDeletei dunno, how many drum machines do you own? ;)
ReplyDeleteHe plays this kit with Fantomas, Mike Pattons crazy noise ensamble. I also just recently saw him play it with the Zappa plays Zappa tour. Somewhere on DW's website is a time lapse video of the setup process and Terry talking about the kit. All I know is I'd hate to be the drum tech for that monstrosity.....
ReplyDelete"8x22 Woofer with Doobie Bars"
ReplyDeleteHeh, I've got the Van if you've got Doobie Bars. Get some "Ol' Black Water" "Rollin'".
I would be afraid to play with anyone who had a kit like that unless I had me one of the Charlie Hunter 8 string beasties. This is kind of the "Pikasso" of drum kits.
(And considering he is ripping off Bozio's Kit, but wants serious musicians, where does he stand on playing Zappa's "Why does it hurt when I pee?")

ReplyDeleteFantomas are definitely not 'noise'... >_>
Even Patton's "Maldoror" collab with Merzbow isn't actually all that noisy, surprisingly...
But 'crazy' is fair.
the first thing that popped into my head when i saw this was "nick andopulous"
ReplyDeleteA drummer I respect once said to me, "If you can't do it with a kick, a snare, and a hi-hat, you can't do it."
