Matt Cameron on the cover of Drum! magazine

rearviewmiror

I know Matt Cameron is a badass drummer and I love his stuff, I just miss what Dave did on specific songs. I was wicked excited when he joined the band. I just wonder if eddie flipped out abput Matt being on the DRUM cover?

EDIT: because I can't spell.

From what I remember reading....Dave A. appearing on the cover of a drummer magazine was one of the contributing factors to Ed wanting him fired from the band. Nice to know you Matt

Any detail on what he meant by "fakers" in the music world?

That can mean a lot of things. Just curious.

he meant like bands and artists who use samples, backup tracks, and homogenized set listsdo the work for them, fakers who raise ticket prices, and fakers who trade pirated music online

That's what I remember... but when MC does it, all is forgiven. 8-)

can you give us a bit more info on the matt vs. jack vs. dave a. stuff?? i'd be interested to hear what matt thinks of it.

he pretty much said how people say that he doenst play like the other drummers. he referred to the "internet geeks" as the people who criticize his playing style. he went on to say that jack irons parts are the hardest drum parts to re-create becuase Jack played with such a swing style and very different from cameron. he said that he plays very different from Dave, and he doesnt care what people think. He says he "couldn't care less" that people dont like his style or how he plays a song.

I knew he'd notice one of my postings on the subject.

hahaha

further proof the band reads this board

i'd love to see you and matt sit in a room and drum and critique each other. i'd be really curious to see what he has to say bout your drumming.

Haha... no contest. He would win on his material!

I did have this conversation with Ben Harper's drummer (from the 90's) Dean Butterworth, who happened to recognized me (strangely). He agreed that Dave A was awesome with PJ, and wondered why they changed too. That was a cool funny moment.

Matt is the best PJ drummer. Even of Dave or Jack where interested in coming back I'd still take Matt.

I just stumbled across this magazine today. It was the last one on the shelf. Strange thing is I've been going into that same store weekly looking for a different mag and never seen this mag till today. Guess I was meant to have this issue
I haven't read the article yet, but its fairly long so I'm excited. Congrats Matty!!!

I just went to guitar center today and they had it in finally. Pretty sweet and long article. they get into some really cool details about how ridiculously hard he hits night after night (warping drum heads, bending cymbals all the time) and how he and brendan recorded the drum parts for the album.

Oh and apparently hes not using a keplinger snare anymore. it says its a "roy haynes" snare (?)

yes he is using a roy haynes model snare now. Roy Haynes is a phenomenal jazz, and all around drummer. he has his own line of snare drums, and Matt likes them

Just happened across this article I recall reading 13 years ago which backs-up your recollection.

http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/pea ... ystery_man

"Vedder's authority was clear to all in 1994, when drummer Dave Abbruzzese was abruptly fired from the band. "Dave was too much the rock star," says a source close to the band. "He was giving cover-story interviews to drumming magazines. He was happy, he was achieving his dream. That bugged the fuck out of Eddie. I witnessed Eddie drawing mustaches on Dave's face on the cover of Modern Drummer.""

Assuming Rolling Stone indeed had a source inside the band, that means that...

This is not ok...



But apparently this is perfectly fine....





Glad they're consistent.
