First of all thanks to everyone for the encouraging words on the occassion
of this lists 1 year anniversary.
In hindsight I regret naming the list Surf Guitar 101, it should be Surf
Musician 101. Its not like we are a big enough group to segregate based upon
instrument. I've ammended the description on the Yahoo page to reflect this.
Which leads me to drummers. I'm really thrilled TooFastJim has chosen to
hang out here. I've got some drummer questions I thought I'd toss out for
you (or anyone else):
I really respect drummers and admire what they do (it seems impossible to
the non-player). What do you feel the drummer's role in a surf band should
be? Is it different than other genres?
Whats the worst thing a guitar player can do to a drummer when playing? Play
too loud? Play out of time?
Where do you stand on the whole "Wipeout" issue? I remember a thread on Cow.
or Reverborama where most bands poo-poo'ed the notion of playing it live. Is
it a drummer's signature song or a tired stereotype of the genre?
What are some of the best surf tunes for drummers?
Thanks!
BN
