What do you call a guy who hangs out with musicians? A drummer.

Heathen! Frank! jon is making fun of drummers! ![]() Bruford is no mere drummer. He is a true master percussionist. |

I wasn't able to listen to the link (didn't load or took forever) so I went to youtube. Yes was an early favorite of mine - discovered their music in about 1979 when they were already split up. Anyway, loved the link. From there I went looking for Genesis, Stewart Copeland from The Police, Andy Summers from same and then into King Crimson. Spent about two hours listening to music on the internet last night. |

Sorry - missed this. I'm embarrassed to say I'd never really heard of him except as part of King Crimson - so much for knowledgeable I'll have to give it a listen - the guy can really play! British jazz was really on an upswing in the 90's when I left. |

Drumming is a lot more difficult than it seems. Bill Bruford is indeed a god... |

I think that depends on the drummer.

Yeah.... That's true, too. The Greats truly make it look easy. (Like so many other things.) |
