Well seeing as he said it costs over $1k to set it all up, I don't think i'll be trying this anytime soon. I'll use my ps3's MIDI Sequencer and try it thru GH World tour. Won't sound like the actual song (as you cant import music just the notes using Guitar Pro) but it will be the same notes.

Okies, some classics from old timers for you young huns...

Neil Peart (of Rush). Drum solo starts at around 3:30:

Carl Palmer (of Emerson Lake & Palmer) solo. I think he has a gnome hooker hidden under the kit, at 1:45 she gets frisky:

And just in case you think these old timers sound good just because they got oversize kits, here is a Carl Palmer snare demo:

Nice choice of drummers, Bera!

Peart is probably the top 3 rock drummers of all time, and quite overlooked except by musicians and drummers themselves. Palmer was good, too.

Personally, Terry Bozzio is my favourite rock drumming for his early stuff with Zappa (genius).

Best drummer ever? Billy Cobham (Mahavishnu Orchestra/Miles Davis); not technically the best, but an amazing style and feel!

Tatsuya Yoshida of Ruins is pretty great too, and hardly heard of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vp5XqUxxe94 (crazy video of him playing live)

Personally, I'm not big on drum solos, I prefer if they show their creativity within normal songs. From that perspective, I really like Keith Moon (of the Who, which is also my favorite rock band).

I'm not a fan of drum solos per se - the majority of "heavy metal" technical stylings leave me cold (no emotion); most drummers I like because they have an amazing feel (Billy Cobham - Jazz drummers are the best to listen to), or choose the more interesting timings where lesser drummers would stick to a dull 4/4.

Keith Moon had a great percussive/melodic style - one of the best rock n roll drummers (and booze drinkers!)

Check out some Terry Bozzio or Bill Bruford drumming as they both show real intelligence and passion without the whole showmanship ego thing that normally surrounds rock or its silly offshoots.

Ah finally could watch these. Amazing kid, and he seems to be having a great time doing it, which is nice. (Plus he is a fan of SRV!) Smiling

When you see a kid like that, you get 2 scenarios in your mind:
1. Linear extrapolation: 'if he is like this at age 8, imagine is he going to be able do when he is 20 or 40?!'
2. Crash and burn: 'This is unnatural. He will go off the rails either because of the attention or the pressure of great expectations.'
Let's hope for the 1st.

The music's ok, but I don't really know why he pretends to be so geeky, except to make himself seem more cool or mysterious or whatever.

The whole glasses, accent and general geeky personality are all fake for the camera. Odd gimmick, but I guess it worked for him.

To be fully honest after watching a ton of his movies and stuff i really don't think it's an act, the feeling i get watching him is that he might actually suffer from a handicap of some sort. I could be wrong though.

must of taken a massive amount of time and effort, especially when you think that they haven't tampered with the colouring of the images, so they had to get the right images for the right parts. And the outlines of the characters don't stop at the squares either, they've used the actual outlines of the objects and people in the photos for the characters in the wallpaper xD (such as a girl in a white T-shirt being used as the sky in the background while the green wallpaper behind her used for the tip of thrall's ear xD)

You can make such images with Gimp. I did that for my fathers 60 year birthday with images from his whole life. What takes time is getting alot of images together the rest is done by Gimp.

Heh, this reminds me that the XP startup chime was designed/composed by Brian Eno, so maybe it shouldn't be surprising that you could get some tune going with the rest. BTW, I hit this excerpt from an interview when I wanted to check that I remembered the bit about Eno correcty:

Apparently the briefing document included a list of over 58 words that described how the tune must sound, including "bold, creative, modern, challenging, fresh..." as well as a stipulation that the tune must last no longer than 3.58 seconds.

BBC "Did you write the tune on a PC?"

Eno " Good god no! I used a Mac. I've never used a PC in my life, hateful things"
