sorry for being wish-washy bros. i'm back on team "he's dumb as hell"

[slunken]

he got kicked out of the biggest band in the world. that's one solid reason.

[slunken]

he won't shut up about nuances - that's strike 2

[slunken]

i'm not saying he's not a good person


stop equating intelligence with morals

that's on you

I was just equating him to Gavin Harrison in one of the other threads. A prog rock drummer who plays overriding odd patterns and then goes on interviews crafting an identity with quotes about how vitally important it is to be 'tasteful'

(for the full experience imagine Gavin's british accent)

[teh b0lly!!1]

Jimmy also has obviously been into metronomic precision and maintaining a rhythm uncannily steady


I mean I'm not knocking the musicianship, Gavin is a beast and I dig some of his stuff. But Jimmy pursuing that avenue just shows how little he himself understands about what made him so magical as a drummer before. His whole energy is neutered and showy, truly an antithesis to his former self

[houseofglass11]

Jimmy’s drumming has definitely sounded very formulaic and mechanical for pretty much all of his involvement with this iteration of SP. Sorry but I found Tommy Lee’s drums on Monuments more interesting than anything Jimmy has done in a while.

[VoxUpDoc]

Why is SP butt rock now?

All the riffs sound like some unfashionable goth metal from 20-30 years ago.

[brothahi4L]

Wait for episode on tuesday. This time it is gonna rock heavy with beautiful melodies and chorus

[Ram27]

hmm

sign me the fuck up

I've only heard what's linked here, when does this shit come out and is it compiled anywhere

has anyone leaked this on Kazaa or Limewire yet or perhaps broken into the recording space in Highland Park IL and stolen photos of Paris Hilton

Jimmy playing with "metronomic precision" is fine, it's whatever the song calls for and unfortunately, a lot of SPs latest output has required him to play simple/robotic stuff in the studio, that's what the song calls for so that's what he's going to play and he's going to play it well.

Personally I like what he's doing, despite how "tame" he sounds on some of the recordings (so far), it's still distinctively him (CYR aside, there's no defining character about the "drumming" on that record) and his musical choices are still tasty and fit the context of the songs he's playing. Rhythmically he can still be interesting in what I've heard so far, less "off the cuff" than we've heard.

This is to be expected if the band aren't hashing these songs out in a room together, if the majority of the record was completed remotely then it's likely to contain a lot more tamer/focussed drumming, Jimmy's got his studio hat on.

Be interesting to see if this 10 track "psychedelic" album captures any of that "old" jammy energy.

must spread rep +++++ perfect

[paranoid]

Anyone who knocks Jimmy’s musicianship or his intelligence is the dumbest fuck on this board.

Ever listen to his jazz playing over the past few years? Yeah sorry bros but Jimmy is no moron.

[cork_soaker]

jimmy is lost

[SlingeroGuitaro]

No, I think jimmy knows exactly what his role is. Show up, get paid.

[cork_soaker]

that’s called being lost

[brothahi4L]

The guy is 55.. has side projects where he can go off drumwise... He just wants to play.... People even shitting on the drumming on good goodby....why? Cause it sounds strange? Love it
