JT was seriously on fire during the two shows i saw the band...i especially liked his fills heading into the solo section of City Of Tiny Lites...absolutely stunning playing. The guy is ridiculously good in feel and technique

Having also complained to the UK's Rhythm mag about their lack of anything ZPZ over the last while, they reassured me there would be a JT article in the issue on sale 20th Dec, so hopefully that's true

A flam is the sound produced by hitting a drum with both sticks, fractionally apart in time. This video demonstrates: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4VOCdVJwQE

I have no idea what a flam is but I love flan.

Can someone explain what a flam is? I'd really love that. Sophie.

r l l r l r l r r  is the correct sticking in Andy not a singles pattern Joe Travers.  I caught that on the first ZPZS DVD.  of course all the notes are present but you are using an easier sticking pattern.  (a trained ear knows the difference)

in the last 3 years both blue devils A corps and B corps have lost a total of 4 shows between them!  Both have just won the championships today again.

Here is the "B" Corps which also won the world championships in the open class division.

I marched with the instructor who is clicking the sticks and the guy with the baseball hat is the son of our old instructor. He is the guy in charge of the bass drummers

My favorite drummer is Bozzio, but I also like Vinnie and Dennis Chambers, the three of them are out of this world. Virgil Donatti too.

One of my favorites playing on my stereo right now is Dutch drumer Pierre Van der Linden from Focus and Trace.

Tell you what....the drums in the pic are sweet! As far as my favorite drummers are concerned the list is long and distingquished like my....oh nevermind. Bozzio of course is near the top but thats a no brainer. Thanks for this group....very nice!

Jim Wright

Had to give up the drums 5 years ago due to damage to my shoulder joints, but drums still run in my blood, so hope it's OK to be part of this group! Love Bozzio and Travers of course, Neil Peart, Gavin Harrison, portnoy when he's not overplaying, Simon Phillips and my all time favorite Keith Moon! Check out my background on my page - I'm sure you'll recognise who's kit it is....!

Flams are good and tasty, too!

Here it is again but you can see what the bass line does better. and also a better view of the line as a whole.

Here is a really important technique lesson by a friend named Pat Patrillo. He marched with the Bridgemen. He had the same instructor as I did. He now does this but also plays with Gloria Gainor and a lot of others.
