Default Jeff's Pinky Finger Bothers Me

It's just hanging out there so awkwardly, uncoordinated with the rest of his hand (his left hand btw)

You'll notice that Billy doesn't have the same problem, as he has probably spent many years developing equal finger strength throughout his hands. Also I don't recall James Iha having the any problem with his pinky finger hanging out.

It's like his pinky is a mirror of how much he sucks

good thread

People complain about Jimmy's pinkies all the time too, it's actually bad technique, but he's such a badass it makes it okay:

what I've heard from drummer friends is that Jimmy holds his sticks really low to the base, which is bizzare/bad technique

I honestly didn't notice until they pointed it out

There's a lot worse things going on in that video than Jeff's pinky.

Really, it summarizes everything wrong with Jeff. When James played ebow, it added atmosphere and beauty. When Jeff uses it on Tonight, Tonight, it's like getting smacked in the face with a hammer.

umm... and why the hell does it matter?
honestly, what big difference does it make, unless you're trying to play yngwie malmsteen-esque solos?

I don't like jeff either, but if you're trying to make a "let's rip on jeff" thread, just name it so

There is a schadenfreude like quality in it for me.

I'm sure Jimmy knows more about drumming than your friends.

oh god his ebow is so bad

I like how Mike plays the Machina-era drum part on the Tonight chorus. JC just barely makes it sound graceful.

Oceania Live in NYC is hands down the worst thing ever released by Billy. I wonder how many copies it actually sold. Maybe a couple hundred tops.

And yet in his early 50s he drums better than you or 99.99 % of all drummers ever will.

i'm all hopes dreamsofglass doesn't find james iha's pinky bothersome, or we're in for quite a pickle
