1. Dead.
2. Known wanker, a talented wanker, but still a wanker
3. You mean, "Bonzo?" Dead. If you did mean Gonzo. . . he never played drums; he played trumpet.

I don't know why but I could never get used to a double pedal and believe i tried my darndest, so I just tried to do what I could do make my right foot quick with doubles and I guess it would be a double sixteenth note if that makes sense....just a quick eighth note per beat is what it is, I just forget the "name of the note"
Ginger baker pretty much laid it out in basic terms. . . "Well, it's really quite easy. . . just move the rudiments to your foot." He then demonstrated some paradiddles, then did 2 against 3 which in the bass drums sounds cool. . . but weird, almost wrong. . .

Yeah. . . your foot, if it's better than mine (as it should), can rip off a thirtysecond grace note before the sixteenth (or eighth).

I'm a little rusty on them but once I get into the groove it comes back

the paradiddle is my most favorite rudiment, that and different flam rudiments.....I use that shit all the time while playing
At one point, when I was studying the stuff (and, like, trying to pass my percussion class), my paradiddles were up up to sixteenths over 100bpm; we never got to the flam rudiments, but my standard flams weren't bad. . . Dr. Robbins was a good snare instructor.

neil peart was/is the man no doubt....he's more of a legend status now
What he did was pave the way for drummers like Chambers, Royster Jr., Portnoy, Carey.

Steve Gadd, Bernie Purdie, Bozzio, Colaiuta, are probably my favorites. . .
but now that Wally Schnalle (local guy) is finally getting his serious props, I can start singing his praises (new album out - woot!)

. . . if only he'd go back and do standards nights at Hotel DeAnza. . .
