Traps - The Drum Wonder: The Life of Buddy Rich Hardcover (Book) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Mel Torme is not a genius of prose or of the biography genre, but he isn't unreadable either, and literary standards these days are low anyway.Besides, Mel Torme KNEW Rich for much of Rich's life.Buddy Rich asked Torme to write a fair biography, and that is what Torme has done.If you want to learn about the life of the greatest technical drum soloist of all time, this is the book to buy.I like the pictures, too.(How's that for genius in prose?)

Great Rock Drummers of the Sixties (Book) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you want to learn aboutyour favorite Rock drummers from the 60s, this is the right book, but the first thing you should know is this was written by a pro drummer who was originally inspired to play drums by these drummers, as he first started playing drums in the 60s himself. The first half of this book is about a lot of lesser known drummers who happened to be the authors favorites. Actually, it starts with Carmine Appice whose very well known and then the next several chapters are about the drummer for the Hollies, the Turtles, the Zombies, the Kinks, the Ventures, Steppenwolf. Later he talks about Ringo Starr,Charlie Watts,Keith Moon, Ginger Baker, Mitch Mitchell. He was able to get personal interviews with most of them, except for Mitchell. The interviews were good. The author did his homework, all together I thought was a pretty good book. I'm not askin for my money back.

Ghs 3 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have listened to piles of fusion in my day, and this is one of the greats.No, it is not the most intense music out there, but is far more musical than most fusion, which ends up being a mere chops fest.All three of these excellent musicians play at their best, especially Frank Gambale, who simply wails.Every tune is strong too.Bring on more like this one.

Product Description:
GHS 3 is the third virtuosic, jazz/rock release from the all-star instrumental power trio featuring guitarist Frank Gambale, bassist Stuart Hamm and drummer Steve Smith.These three gifted musicians have written and recorded their most inspired and potent release yet. This recording features memorable compositions, high energy telepathic interplay, over-the-top-chops, and an expanded tonal palette with Gambale adding his virtuosic acoustic guitar to the group's sound.
