andre duracell - a one-man 8-bit band.. a drummer who uses drum triggers to play step sequencers synchronised with his frenetic, hardcore drumming.

bigger font. why? i’m going blind. and i’m bored.

a couple of really hot youtube clips from my good pal pablo! check it out:

gene krupa & buddy rich drum battle. 1966. two masters. did you know that peter sellers studied as a drummer under krupa? rad.

rahsaan roland kirk’s ‘pedal up.’ 1975. dear quincy jones introduces rahsaan as “the black master of black classical music” and its only then that you get a peek at an absolutely smoking jazz sax ninja… the dude plays two saxes at once! are they both saxes? one’s a soprano sax, right? anyway you got to wait for it, it gets completely absurd at about 5 minutes in, when one of the saxes threatens to pack it in and briefly ends up sounding eerily similar to a balloon having the air let out of it. this is crazy stuff.

choose your fate wisely. will you choose the big love or will the big love choose you? you are forever marked by your choice of the big love. let big love wash over you like a series of eight embedded media clips.

play them all at once for maximum love. honestly, try it. you’ll thank me.

here’s a tasty excerpt - listen to me candidly discussing my mixed feelings about being selected as part of triple j’s next chops:
