It takes guts to do what Norman Podhoretz did. He looked at Reality and saw that the liberal left political and social views of all his friends were mistaken. He saw that the knee-jerk condemnations of the United States which came from the left were wrongheaded, and in some ways contemptible. He had to 'break ranks' with a whole world of friends including those who were the 'Family' the intellectual elite not only of New York but in a sense of America. Among these people were Jason Epstein, Norman Mailer , Hannah Arendt, Alfred Kazin , and scores of others. Mailer goes into a lot of detail here in telling the story but his fundamental action was a courageous one. As editor of the important journal 'Commentary' he waged a War of Ideas in defense of the values he believed in, and the political positions he saw as correct.
This is an important book for understanding the way both intellectual and political struggles take place among the makers- and - shakers of American life.

The drummer in my band was having a problem conrolling the bass drum level. He claimed the bass drum was intrinsically too loud. Rather than than argue with him, I opened the drum and installed this muffler. It worked. What else can I say?

As a Jazz listener, I was inspired by the Drummer's Playbook to learn how to play a basic drum beat with swing.  The Drummer's Playbook gets all four limbs moving by describing the different components of  a drum set and how they are orchestrated in different styles of music.  The book is a useful companion to learn about playing the instrument.  I am ready for the sequel!

I just picked up the paperback version of this book at Guitar Center. I knew Zoro primarily through a royalty-free drum track CD which I purchased to produce music, and he was notable for being the best drummer on the disk among a phalanx of studio superstars. So, that he can play the drums is beyond question. Just to hear some thoughts from him on playing with Lenny Kravitz and Bobby Brown would have been worth $19.99 - but this book is much more than that. Where most every book tries to throw together some professional insights with some cheap quotes from historical figures - this book actually achieves the aim of inspiration and education. This man will tell you about the arduous process of becoming supremely successful in music - but far more importantly, he will tell you why to do so from a spiritual standpoint. The only thing better than this book is hearing the author rock a funky New Orleans groove followed by a stanky drum break at 100 bpm. Either way, Zoro delivers.

I remember how it used to be ,fill the stage full of amps,  turn it on 10 and play. No stink'in sound reinforcment.  This  is a very  well mixed concert considering the era, done  for Neatherlands TV  broadcast I believe. Has an excellent drum solo by Ian Paice one of Rocks best drummers  who  I think never got enough recognition for his talent. Buy it,you'll like it. If you don't like it , you don't rock.

Dances to a different drummer, a nice change of pace from the normal movie formula.

I've have been playing drums my whole life. And so it is not surprising then that for me is extremely important that the drums were of the highest quality. And as you know, snare drum, is a basic tool for every drummer. And I with all responsibility declare that this snare drum is made for the glory! I like the sound. I was very pleased that the tuning of the drum is easy to configure. And most importantly, on this snare drum, a real pleasure to play!

My toddler loves to drum. He is obsessed if I am honest. In particular he loves to watch Phil Collins drum. I needed something to let him pound away to his heart's desire that would not leave me with a pounding headache; this drum accomplished that goal.

Mike Mangini is a technical guru. His insight into styles, technique and use of a huge drumkit is truly inspiring and relevant. Above all he is a great teacher. This is a great DVD for anyone who wants to keep growing as a drummer, but more importantly, as a musician.

It appears this was Goodman's next to last performance.. His talent and ability sing forth after years of leaving all those who appreciated the gift of joyful memories. Have not heard much about his "core" rhythm, but if you watch for it, you will see an almost drummer's timing still active in his delivery.. When asked who his favorite drummer was with his groups, he listed Gene Krupa.who, to me, picked up Goodman's timing and together gave some really rhythmic, driving , statements of swing and rag enjoined. Happy stuff.

Marching to a different drum off a very different drummer is the path many of us are on. But we struggle to fit in and make sense of the common path As we all want to belong. Our quirks and how we cope with them can bring very strong benefits or disastrous conflicts.  I enjoyed how this story showed the strengths of a different brain, allowed one to laugh at the process and continue to connect to others.

You can get a good feel for how difficult it is to keep a consistent beat with odd measures. Good trainin g for the drummer in keeping track of where in the bar he's playing as well as playing across the bar. Good solid backgrounds.

it seems funny that jeff "tain" watts is releasing a debut, he's been on the scene for years. this album contains all the elements that have made him an in demand drummer for some of the giants (betty carter, for  instance)and a regular with the brothers marsalis. tain knows how to swing,  both subtly and hard. his burnouts are incredible as he somehow stays  within the groove even when it becomes free. but he can also use the  brushes on ballads to create one of those misty blue midnight hours. this  is a very satisfying album.

I wouldnt have thought it was recorded live; This until the applause at the end - So clear. These days were used to hearing drums with most music; This version has very well defined percussion throughout.

some great performances on this record from the sidemen, particularly the drummer on shingaling - maybe the best drum performance I've ever heard on a record.
