Customized Drums

I'm all for customizing your drums, but sometimes people go a little too far. Neil Peart's Hockey Night In Canada kit is perfect example of doing it just right. Classy. Has all the 30 NHL teams on it, and the hardware is a custom ice blue chrome paint.

Now, for the crazy and weird













To tell you the truth I love this last kit. Wild!!!

The Beatles Like You've Never Heard 'Em

This is the Abbey Road Medley with most of th instruments taken out of the mix. It is (almost) A Capella, and it is incredible. I think it's amazing when we get to here how much work these guys (and most other musicians) put into just one aspect of a song.

Grohl, Taylor, Nielsen

So, 2 of the coolest guys in rock today have got together to record a tune. Corey Taylor (Slipknot, Stone Sour) & Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters). They added Rick Nielsen (Cheap Trick), a cool geek from the 70's and came up with a coool little song

Alabama Shakes - How Many More Times

Great cover song. the breakdown section, she kicks ass.

Heart, Jason Bonham, huge choir, strings doing Stairway To Heaven

If you have been under a rock for a while, you might have missed this. You MUST see it. One of the best performances I have ever seen, and it even brings Robert Plant to tears. Absolutely amazing

Now THIS is Heavy Metal

Skunk Anansie

It blows my mind that so many people have not heard of Skunk Anansie. Fronted by the schizophrenic Skin, they cover just about every genre of music known to man. Hints of jazz, pop, progressive and a crazy chick with one of the most impressive voices I have ever heard. This is a full concert from 2011. I'm not a fan of the first song, but if you start it at the 3:30 (approx.) mark, it will blow your senses away.

Silly cars

I love the old VW vans but this is silly.
I would have shown up at school if I was riding in this everyday
This has got to be the worst limo ever!!
The not-so Smart Car. Just ridicu-tarded
And one more that I can't even put into words.

Frank Beard's Drums

Been thinking about drums to day and I remembered that Frank Beard of ZZ Top has always had some amazing looking kits. May not be the best drummer alive but always stylin' Check out these pics.

Yes - Roundabout

Yes doing a bluesy acoustic version of their classic. I love this version and the guitar solo at the beginning is amazing

Coolest Kid Ever

From a deep sleep to drum master in seconds

Larry Gowan - Strange Animal

Gowan doing his big hit from the 80's solo on piano on the Kim Mitchell Show. This guy is an amazing musician. I saw him live in the 90's and again with Styx as the new and improved Dennis DeYoung. This is great!
