Nobody of any notoriety but my nephew was the drummer for this band. And I’ve hosted a few parties for the band at my house… engagements, baby showers, etc. They did open some concerts for the likes of Sebastian Bach and Slaughter.

2. “GO YOUR OWN WAY” Fleetwood Mac, Rumours (1977)
The guitar part at the beginning of this classic Rumours hit can give a conflicting impression of where the pulse lies, sounding more complex than the track really is. In fact, it’s 4/4 all the way, with Mick’s syncopated drums entering at the beginning of bar 6.
The tom hits in the verse provide a musical pattern, with Mick’s famously ‘back to front’ toms inspiring him to choose interesting beat placements. Towards the end, the drums change to a more driving pseudo double-time feel with both snare and bass drum on all four quarter-notes.

The syncopated drums: :thumbs_up::thumbs_up:
This is one I had in my mind yesterday. The best.

Who is that person always hanging out with a rock band?
The drummer.

Aside from that stupid joke my fave drummers are Buddy Rich, Neil Peart, and Stewart Copeland. I know folks who post and advertise drum lessons. If you have timing I think technique trainig makes sense. Can you teach timing, or is that something innate?
