More Marsupious
Here is another one by Marsupious, from this past Sunday's metal show at Sister bar in Albuquerque. The first thing you notice right away is that beast of a drum set! Complete with a gong, no less. Dave Barela uses the whole thing to great effect. I was most impressed with the way would set one stick down on the snare, very gently but very fast, play the next few beats by hand on the djembe, and seamlessly pick the stick back up to continue. He did this over and over, with out ever dropping the stick or missing a beat.
The second thing you notice is the lack of a guitar - not a standard choice for a metal band, but between Dave's acrobatic drumming and Joe Michael's non-stop bass riffage, you hardly miss it.

Hey yeah..Great percussion. As a drummer, I appreciate listening and learning from other musos. Thnx for sharing.
Hey checkout this bad ass out I will be playing tomorrow. Just for something different!
Would love to hear more of the beats

Nice post
You are indeed a great observer. moreover those were some nice beats and energetic drumming.
Keep flourishing.
Wow, that is pretty weird that there is no guitar. You are going to laugh, but I remember watching Yanni: Live at the Acropolis and being really impressed with the drum set back then. I played percussion 7 years in school but never was that great at the set.
