Wow! @trentrunciman Your taste in music is a lot more up to date and modern than mine. I'm still stuck in the 70's and 80's mostly.
Atm I am listening to a live recording from Denver in 1979 of one of the greatest rock n roll bands ever, being Roxy Music performing 'Manifesto'.

Roxy where great Brian Eno and Phil Manzanera are exceptional musos,Ferry always got the accolades but they had talent in the whole band.801 was an offshoot of the band and i always thought that they where better than Roxy but not as popular.

Thanks for that suggestion re 801 @jadtiger.
I'll certainly have a listen to them, as a whole new world of music has opened up since I have been on Spotify.
I gotta say I love drumming and I love music that has the drummer as the prominent member of the band.

63, If you're into drummers, do you follow Vinnie Colaiuta? He is a master at polyrhythms and rhythmically supports and enhances whatever is going on musically. Most of what I know comes from his time with Zappa and I regard him as probably Zappa's best drummer but he has also performed with Sting and many others as well as put his own albums out. Worth a listen if you like good drumming.

Thanks for that recommendation @NT_Tiger.
My very favourite form of drumming is the 'massed pipes and drums' and the 'Top Secret Drum Corps" at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo.
I worked with a bloke many years ago that was in a pipe band and he gave me a bit of a demo on the bench top at work one day of what he could do with drum sticks....simply amazing, and I was very envious as I had auditioned to be the drummer for the kids marching around the play ground in Primary School, but came second.
Later on I wanted to be Dave Clark from the Dave Clark Five, so went along to a drumming lesson in Sydney and thought yeh/nah, this is too hard and gave up my ambition of being a drummer.

I always liked Aynsley Dunbar's work with Frank Zappa. he featured on some really good albums. Waka Jawaka and the Grand Wazoo among them.

I agree and I was disappointed when he left. Both of those albums are great. Waka Jawaka gets alot of play time in this house. I really like his drumming on Just Another Band from LA. Although it's seen as comedy and not as art the music is still first rate. But Zappa never had a bad drummer, Art Trip, Terry Bozzio, Chad Wackerman, and Ralph Humphrey from the Roxy period (I thought was underrated). Not a slouch amongst them.

I listen to some drummers and wonder how their brains can work so fast in multiple time signatures. I'm honestly baffled at what they come out with especially playing polyrhythms at the drop of a hat. My brain often isn't fast enough to perceive it let alone come up with it and play it.;

Yep. Fair enough to say that Zappa generally surrounded himself with quality musicians. Not surprising really.
I read somewhere that he was less than complimentary about Jack Bruce's bass playing after jamming with him on a recorded track. (I can't remember which one). The gist of his comments was that the guy was unstructured in his playing.
A view shared by Ginger baker I think.

Yeah, Jack Bruce played bass on Apostrophe. That is an amazing jam if you haven't heard it. Zappa said he didn't like Bruce's playing because it was busy, probably meaning it was difficult for him to find (musical) space to play in. It's a pity he thought that because I thought the two went well together. Bruce came over with Jim Gordon who was playing drums for Zappa with the Grand Wazoo tour. Gordon is also drumming on Apostrophe.

Yeah that is amazing. I should have known that, I've got that album buried away in my collection, Thanks for posting it.

You've made my day @Fade-To-Black. Thank you so much for putting this post on Our Forum.
I wish I could think of a better descriptive word than brilliant to label what I have just seen.
If you are able to download more stuff like this or even just advise me who to look for, I would really appreciate that.
