Drummed

I made a comment to FEEG earlier on Mr. Mackie’s post which included a clip of H.M. Royal Marines (who are undoubtedly the best in the military business) at the Embra tattoo and it set me thinking. A day or so ago the DT published an article on the World Air Guitar Championships. Why isn’t there one for air drummers?

I’ve always loved the drums, military or otherwise and play air drums on my steering wheel or pillow or armrest as the mood takes me – can’t do it to save my life as I have no natural rhythm (probably couldn’t be a Catholic either 🙂 ), but there have been some great drummers. Think Keith Moon or Mick Fleetwood, Nick Mason or Charlie Watts, but think of these too:

The late, great Cozy Powell

and a brillliant duet between Phil Collins and the much underrated Chester Thompson

Even in other cultures

There is certainly something primaeval about drumming which appeals to my nature.

Just loping around. Extremely fond of roast boar in particular, meat in general and cooking on the barbie. Fish is good too. View all posts by O Zangado
