theredtamasrule Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Was curious if Neil made any changes to the electronic portion of his drum solo this go around. I wasn't all that thrilled with those mechanical/metallic sounds on the previous leg of the tour. If I had to bet I'd say he didn't change it.

Sarge Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Bet he doesn't change it. He'll stick with it and progress and develop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EveryNerveAware Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 It was the same as the S&A Live recording in Rotterdam... at least at the Orlando show. Not my favorite solo from Neil, but anything he does is worth listening to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruggy66 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 At 4:47 he goes "bum bum ditta bum de dum" rather than "bum diggita bum bum bum" That's the only change I've heard about. Drum Spoilers ..... Jeeeeesh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he's trying something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merely Space Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I found the solo at the Houston show to be fairly different from the S& A Live version. Much higher tempo, rearranged the parts. Sorry, I'm not a drummer (ist?), or I could describe it better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushman14 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 look out people, Tamas started another thread. "That's It" part deux? by the way I agree with that metallic drum sound you refer to. My ears did not dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he's trying something different. It seems like a little nod to the Stomp phenomenon. I thought it was cool live, but I don't enjoy it much on S&A Live. Actually, that can apply to any of his drum solos. Live = very cool Recorded = yawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favorites is his tympani samples on "The Rythym Method" from A Show of Hands but I guess my favorite solo was from the Vapor Trails Tour.

I wasn't all that thrilled with those mechanical/metallic sounds on the previous leg of the tour. I think it is extremely badass. Only the second major overhaul of the solo in his career - much more entertaining than hearing the same one from 1974 over and over. I tended to zone out during the solo up until the Vapor Trails tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpiritofXanadu Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 During the 2nd leg, this drum solo definately stands out alot more compared to even last leg in 2007. More direct, yet melodical....fantastic build up and ending (acoustic solo). In fact, I think its the best solo I've heard him do "LIVE" since I became a fan (Test for Echo tour). Regarding the electronic kit portion....for Neil, its cool, but I've heard it enough. I think my favorite solo by Neil in it's entirety is the "Exit State Left" solo....priceless!!

Drum Spoilers ..... Jeeeeesh! Personally, having not heard a Neil solo in several decades, I don't have anything to compare it to, and I'm not a drummer. However, I can't say I particularly liked all of what he put forth when I saw them in Dallas last month. Drum solo = good; sampled brass and Buddy Rich tribute-sounding stuff - :yawn:. Drum solo on recording = But hey, that's just my opinion. K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
