steven morris

how the fuck does he play atrocity exhibition?

please help/explain

drummers/witness'/stalkers please step forward

thanks

I doubt he even knows how to play it anymore. It's actually not that hard, but I couldn't explain it - largely the recorded version sounds difficult to play because of the sounds of the kit, try the live version - it may be different.

He plays it pretty similar to the studio version on this demo

I can't remember which demo this is from . Someone posted it here ages ago with transmission and novelty.

2 legs hi- hats init too

cheers everyone

still baffles me

truely mint drumming

Great piece of drumming. Its not that difficult really, probably because I’m a drummer. Atmosphere is beautiful as well, I never get tired of playing that one or senses and face up! Steven Morris is a great influence on me. I’m absolutely blown away by his speed live on tracks like denial, and age of consent. I can barely keep up. I love listening to his interviews, he’s always smiling. I laughed so hard when I saw his impression of Robb on the Joy Division Doc. that bit alone is worth buying the DVD.

cos he's a robot

Never seen the man more stressed out that on this performance of IALP on Rock around the Clock.

I'm not a drummer, but that looks f'in hard...

Great demo recording, Retroesque. What's the source?

I'm not sure, it was posted here ages ago, and I was hoping someone else would tell me.

without having heard it, at a guess it'll be the Piccadilly Radio session. The whole thing (minus this track for some reason) was released on Heart & Soul.

I'm guessing you don't know many drummers

This makes sense. The production sounds very similar to the other Picadilly tracks.

How does Steve as a drummer rate with the drum "musicianship experts" or drum idolizing "dorks"?

I suppose there are different levels of drum worshipers, from jazz to the dorky Neil Peart of Rush fanatics (at least in North America). I don't know how good Peart is but Rush recordings are really not very interesting beat wise, if he is that good the production must suck cause it is so unfunky or dancey. John Bonham as a rock drummer I can understand better, he rocks.

All I know is that I was instantly attracted to the JD/early 80s NO percussion... Steve got it done somehow.

I enjoy Chris Dangerous of the Hives.
