What a coincidence. Two performances of Pocket Son from two Frost* drummer.
I give you Mr Andy Edwards!

Pocket Son towards the end.
What can you say? It's an excellent drumming track :D
I love both TBE and Blunders approach to teaching/advertising/demonstration. They're both so very down to earth (TBE's accent makes me feel like I'm back home :p).
In terms of the videos I was more interested in the 2box's ability to emulate famous drum kits. Does anyone else think this is genius? There's always a few cheeky homages on synths (I've seen an organ patch called Deep Violet somewhere) so why not the drumbles?
Nicer

If only I could play them
Well, well; excellent stuff. Reminds me all over again what a superbly rhythmic track Pocket Sun is, although I'm not quite sure I remember there being quite as much cymbal ;)
And from TBE and Blunders on drums, to everyone else who's ever played with Frost*, it all goes to show what a fabulous bunch of musicians these blokes are.

Agreed...as if we didn't know :D

Oh there was, with no Toms TBE had to hit something! The mix on the video is heavier on the kit, so the cymbals are more noticeable, I think.

Well, that's what I meant, I suppose: the cymbals are much more upfront in the Jobecky video, but yes, there were plenty of them in the original too.
good stuff, but the hearing the camera guy breathing was a bit strange....
someone with more video acumen than I needs to do a Pocket Sun split screen of Andy and Blunders... 8-)
Perhaps cut out the middle man and just stitch them both together to create The Boy Blunders?
Both these (craig and andy) cuts are fabulous! we probably don't realise how lucky we are to see it in the making!
As I said on Twitter, I think the Jobecky kits sound much more natural than the Roland ones based on both of the Pocket Sun videos. I'm always suspicious that roland stick less sample memory in their brains to keep costs down.
Also funny how two drummers can play the same thing (well, almost), but have a completely different groove and feel. Still, they both fit right into Frost*. Good musicianship that is. They're both glorious and huge heroes of mine. :D
Awesome! Love the idea of those multi-personality drums and, yes, we are very lucky to see this and Craig's demo together. Drums are just super-exciting these days and it annoys me a great deal that I just can't really play the drums very well (and am now at that 40-something period of my life where finding the time may never now be possible).
Thinking about the different members of Frost* over the years led me to this though - how awesome would it be one day for the double-trio (plus Jem) version of Frost* to be revealed?
Andy and Craig on drumkits.
John and Nathan on basses.
John and Dec on guitars.
Jem in the middle of it all!
Oh yes, the F* Onion tour is on my list of things to make happen when I win big on the lottery. :)
Almost sounds like Thrak-era King Crimson where they had 2 separate 3-piece bands playing simultaneously, panned left and right. Occasionally they even played the same song! ;)
QuoteAlmost sounds like Thrak-era King Crimson...
...that's exactly where I got the idea from! The live LP from that KC era is awesome. I always call it "Vroom Vroom" but I think it's also called "On Broadway" too. I think the two sides reflect the two concerts which of course were made up of two trios each playing...(cont. p94).
The kick sounds way too boomy on Andy's video for my liking, but the drumming is top notch.

Cool, Brizzle, you just taught me something. :)
AHHHHH@!@! This drove me Crazy! Andy, of all People too! All I Heard was the real drum part NOT what he was Playing! Why would he do this!? It was great, Dont get me wrong... Hell.. Its Frick'n Andy Edwards..... :D :D
I believe someone wanted a mash-up of Andy and Craig playing Pocket Sun.

Sshhh... Don't tell the people at Roland or Jobecky
I don't know if this is possible, but can anyone create this (in audio) with both drum tracks synchronised? As if Andy and Craig were playing together on the same Pocket Sun track? That'd be an achievement, and I bet it would sound unique! Maybe it is already someone's WIP...
I tried lining up the audio when I created the video above. Problem is it's actually 2 different versions of Pocket Sun. I think the version Craig is playing to is more of a demo. There is only one verse before he goes into the solo part. So not possible I'm afraid.
I think I remember seeing on Twitter that Jem provided Craig with a drum-less version of the track specially for the Roland thing.
Yep, although it may that they both had the same version but they've edited them after the event. I know Andy had a version just after the album release which had an extended outro - there was footage on youtube of him 'playing along' in his studio at around that time.

ah, I assumed they had used the same backing tracks. but thanks for doing this!! awesome! 8-)
Hi folks, it's been ages since I actually posted but I do lurk occasionally. :)
I thought I'd let you splendid Frosties (and particularly the drummies among you) know that both Andy and Craig are performing at the Jobeky UK Custom Drum Show (//http://www.customdrumshow.co.uk) on Sunday. It will be a great chance to check out the e-kits in person and chat with them both. Plus you'll be able to come and steal free food from my Muso Database stand :lol:
Hope you don't mind the blatant plug!!
D
Plug away, squire! :) ...and thanks for de-lurking to share that.
Just got in from the Jobeky Drum Festival - and before I jet off to my own rehearsal thought I'd drop by!!
Both Craig & Andy were on brilliant form - nice to see them bost do their takes on 'Pocket Sun' and Craig also incorporated some other Frost* snippets into his 70 song montage (no, REALLY 8-) )
Also great to see Andy back behind the kit and enthused about playing again. The Jobeky kits look and sound awesome.
Andy also mentioned he'd done some drums for a new Magenta album !!!
Top stuff, right now where's my sticks........................
So that's not secret any more then! ;)
He didn't say it was :?
Well it's the kind of big news that I'd want to capitalise on if it were my project...but I guess this is how stuff leaks. ;)
