Having a good drummer can help a band go from mediocre to awesome, and it doesn’t take much. Really, the drummer has to fill the sound, and keep time. He doesn’t need to play complicated arrangements, but just hold it down. The best drummers are probably the subtlest. However, there seems to be some correlation between solid beat keepers and amazing drum skills. Anyway, here are 5 clips of admirable drum performances.

Live Show for the Week
Delta Spirit and Matt Costa at Slim’s- February 5th, 2008 http://www.slims-sf.com/

I saw Delta Spirit open for Clap Your Hands Say Yeah at the Rock and Roll Hotel in Washington, DC back in November, and they are the bomb dot com. Their album “Ode to Sunshine” is definitely in my 10 of 2007. Prior to their CYHSY shows, they opened for Cold War Kids, Tokyo Police Club, and Dr. Dog.
I do not know who Matt Costa is, but he is on Jack Johnson’s label, Brushfire Records.
And now a comment not related to music.
As a NY fan, I feel redemption for the Yankee collapse in the ALCS in 2004. It would still be sweeter if the Red Sox had never won a World Series since 1918, but having the Giants be the team who stopped the Patriots undefeated run was great. I wonder, if the Patriots had lost the final game of the season to the Giants, but ended up winning the Superbowl, Compiling a record of 18-1 (the same as they have now), what would people’s reactions have been? They couldn’t be compared to the ’72 Dolphins, and most people would remember the fact that they didn’t go undefeated, even though they won the Superbowl.
