Re: Drummers Corner

I was watching Sir Paul McCartney last night, on Jools Holland Show, Later..... He's has Abe Laboriel Jr behind the kit.

http://www.drummerworld.com/Videos/abelaboriel.html

Abe Laboriel Jr...
Abe Laboriel Jr. is an American drummer who has worked with Paul McCartney, Sting, Hanson, Sheryl Crow, Fiona Apple, Eric Clapton, Shakira, Jewel, Meredith Brooks, Duran Duran, Liz Phair, Chris Castle, Johnny Halliday, Mylène Farmer, Vanessa Carlton, Steve Lukather, Ringo Starr, Chris Isaak, Melissa Etheridge, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Manhattan Transfer, Natalie Cole, Dianne Reeves, Justo Almario, Jonatha Brooke, Gavin Degraw, Meshell Ndegeocello and others.

Abe Laboriel is the son of bassist Abraham Laboriel, Sr..

Abe Laboriel was mentored by well known percussionists and drummers, including Jeff Porcaro, Chester Thompson and Alex Acuña, who had formed the band Koinonia with his father in the 1980s. He attended the D**k Grove School of Music, studying with Peter Donald, during his junior year in high school. In 1989, he was honored by the National Foundation For The Advancement Of The Arts and Down Beat magazine. He then enrolled at the Berklee College of Music, where he graduated in 1993.

Laboriel's first break as a drummer was a tour with guitarist Steve Vai. He then toured with Seal, where many record producers around Los Angeles, California saw him perform, leading to many recording sessions. Laboriel next toured with k.d. lang for a while, where Sting saw him play with her, leading Laboriel to join Sting's touring band. The k.d. lang connection also lead Laboriel to working with Paul McCartney.

In addition to the artists listed above, Laboriel has also recorded and performed with artists like Crystal Lewis, B.B. King, Les Paul, Ashlee Simpson, LeAnn Rimes, Mylène Farmer, Letters to Cleo and others. Lewis and Laboriel were also both a part of the Nickelodeon Television Series, Roundhouse in the 1990s.

Worth noting Abe has a magnificent singing voice and plays about 7 other instruments, including guit and bass, to session level standard!!

I hate him!

It's probably why Sir Paul has him in his band!  smile

Re: Drummers Corner

This radio programme may be of interest to those who post on this thread. I missed the broadcast yesterday but will try to listen to it today. You have a further 9 days on the BBC iPlayer to listen. It's also repeated at 3.30pm UK time on Saturday, 6th November.

Beat It: The World of The Modern Drummer

edit: I've just listened to the programme and I doubt you'll learn a great deal but it was amusing. There are the usual drummer jokes and some amusing anecdotes like the time The Faces left Kenny Jones during the drum solo in I'm Losing You to go to the pub!  lol  lol  lol

Jeremy who? Jeremy Colson. His name came up last night only because he plays with Eric Gales on Psychedelic Underground. Excellent work there, imo. I have never heard of him, but then not a real big Steve Vai fan. I would post something but he's all over the utube. He has worked with others, just not sure who.

Brack, you got anything on him?

Tres

Jeremy is bad@zz...saw him with Vai.   For those of you into the Dream Theater school of prog metal, check out Dali's Dilemma, "Manifesto for Futurism".  Great disc!

Nothing over on Drummerworld, but a YouTube clip,
A solo in two parts, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYDp6UO2N8o
  Jeremy Colson is drummer for Steve Vai.

He is a modern musician. Technicality mixed with a punk rock mentality… These words fully describe his musicial taste and his inner flair for music…

When Jeremy was a boy he picked up his first set of drumsticks and started his musical career, it was really a journey into music. At age 15 he heard for the first time about the rock giant Rush and his mad passion for the instrument fully developed itself. He grew older and so did his talent. Two years later young Jeremy was competing in natiomnal drum contest and won third place in the 1995 Guitar Center National Drum-Off.

At the age of 19 he joined the original rock band Dali’s Dilemma and enlarged his musical resume. There he took part in the constructing of the album Manifesto for Futurism and worked with Testament heavy metal guitarist James Murphy.

Jeremy is a great lover of all musical genres and was influenced by the sounds of James Murphy’s music, i.e. by punk rock and heavy metal. In 2001 Jeremy Colson joined Apartment 26 and rocked Ozzfest in the same year. Later Colson joined the Michael Schenker Group and made his contribution into the recording of its album Arachnophobiac. Around the same time Colson began working with the American guitarist Marty Friedman recording the instrumental album Music For Speeding, and all the songs were written by Marty. The album continues the exploration of progressive rock and Japanese pop music.

That fantastic guy worked non-stop, his musical resume grew along with challenges themselves.

Re: Drummers Corner

Here is a video I got of Jason Bonham synced up with his dad on Moby D ick. The show has huge screen video of John playing it while the kid pounds out the solo in almost perfect synchronization.

Oh man, I hope he doesn't retire, they still have a lot mileage.  Besides, we can't lose two drummers.

So he's the new drummer!!!!!!  big_smile  Have to agree, that is pretty amazing.  Guy is into it all the way.  even more impressive would be in an actual symphonic rendering of it.  Might need a little score amending, but....Blowing 'em away
