AD Posted October 29, 2002 Report Share Posted October 29, 2002 Terry Bozzio (ex of Frank Zappa, Jeff Beck etc...) is giving a drum clinic at the Mayfair Movie Theatre in Ottawa on November 7. Kinda interesting that the Mayfair is getting into that sort of thing. To think, Bozzio will be within spitting distance of my home. Cool! ad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted October 29, 2002 Report Share Posted October 29, 2002 He's also doing a clinic in Toronto on Nov 9th at the Opera House, 12 noon ( according to his website ). One of the true great rock drummers. I'm off so I may be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brels Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 I have seen him in clinic before in Toronto and it is well worth the effort. Seeing his drumset is alone is worth the price of admission...I am not even sure it will fit on the Opera House stage!! He does a number of 'pieces' as opposed to just going apeshit on the kit. It is truly incredibile that there is only one person playing when you hear everything going on. Jaimoe, keep me posted on your plans. I want to try and swing this one.

bradm Posted November 7, 2002 Report Share Posted November 7, 2002 This thing is happening today in Ottawa, so I'll bump it up top and make the roll call. Anybody else in? Aloha, BRAD (Bozzio: Really Aggressive Drumming) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Gruvsten Posted November 7, 2002 Report Share Posted November 7, 2002 If Anyone needs convincing they should watch the drum solo from the baby snakes video-unreal. I saw him at a drum clinic a few years ago in KW and he was awesome....no Dale tho- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Whelan Posted November 7, 2002 Report Share Posted November 7, 2002 I'm in! His kit is crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Whelan Posted November 8, 2002 Report Share Posted November 8, 2002 I saw Bozzio last night. That guy is fucking bananas. Anybody else check it out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted November 9, 2002 Report Share Posted November 9, 2002 I was there, too. I don't think I'd ever seen the Mayfair so packed. I think I know why they had it at the Mayfair: Bozzio's kit wouldn't fit on most club stages; it had to be about 12' x 12'. I think I counted about six bass drums. He has a set of piccolo toms that are tuned, to a Cmaj scale. Have you ever heard a drummer change keys? Bozzio can. His solo drumming consists of playing compositions, rather than just being drum solos. And he played "The Black Page"! I never imagined I'd get to see that piece played, by anybody, and to have it done right in front of me, by the guy for whom it was written, with him explaining how it came about, was magical. Makes me wish I had taped it... Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
