Vanessa Carlton's Drummer
Maybe you are a Vanessa Carlton fan, and maybe not. I have her one CD, and I
like two songs on it. One is called "Ordinary Day" and the other is called "A Thousand Miles." The rest really sucks from my point of view. But anyhow, I am struck by the drumming on those two tracks. That guy is just an animal, and quite the tasteful "artiste." I have no clue who he is, but I listen to those songs again and again because of the tastefulness of the drums. He knows the songs and drums accordingly, when most drummers seem to just PLOD (listen to any Elton John the past decade??? boom a chuck a boom a chuck, YAWN). They sound damn good too. However it was recorded, they nailed it hardcore. N-A-I-L-E-D I-T. Too bad the rest of the CD sucked so bad. You know what they say: "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig."

Personally I like the CD, but I do agree with you on the drumming, I was
amazed, across most of the album, not just the two tracks you pointed out. I saw her at Manchester Academy earlier in the year, and the drumming then was just as good.

Wouldn't the drummers name be in the CD booklet?

Yeah, I am sure it is. But I get a CD, rip it, give the CD to my niece and
listen while I am running on my tiny MP3 player. Sad, but I stopped reading liner notes a long time ago. Amazing, but I go to all this trouble to make my music sound as good as it can, moinitor it on expensive monitirs, etc etc. But when I listen to music for just pure enjoyment, I use cheapo headphones and an MP3 player. Talk about a double standard. That's like Spielberg and Lucas watching movies on an old Mono Two Head VHS on a B/W TV. "EggHd" wrote in message ...

There is a section where they list all the orchestra members but it's not there. I just looked again and it's on a different page. The drummer is Abe Laboriel Jr. Also Leland Sklar on bass.

... I am struck by the drumming on those two tracks. I feel the same way about Lucinda William's "Carwheels On a Gravel Road". The drumming is sheer perfection. |

I saw Vanessa on some "Live at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame"
performance on VH1 about a year ago or so. I'm not a huge fan of her music, but she certainly did put 100% into her performance. She was burning up there and really putting it out. To me, that factor... that someone gives everything they have to give when they perform... it means a LOT. CT |

The drumming is sheer perfection. Probably my alltime favorite album. I forget who the drummer was. Didn't Tony Braunigal play on a few cuts? -R |
