	9:03pm P-90: Let there be drums indeed
	9:04pm Mikey Liverpool: I'm feeling 98 outta 110 meters long
	9:05pm JakeGould: Yes! Thanks! Yes!
	9:06pm Holly in NC: Hi everyone!
	9:07pm Sem Chumbo: In Grade 1 rhythm band, they made me use rubber sticks.
	9:07pm Irwin: THWACK!
	9:07pm Alex of Chicago: Time for the drums.
	9:08pm Dave Mandl: Boom!
	9:08pm P-90: @Sem: I've seen rubber practice pads, don't know if I've ever seen rubber drumsticks
	9:10pm Chop Scott: Perfect start towards this conversation--Bun E. Carlos! I thank you.
	9:11pm Sem Chumbo: @P-90: no drums in Grade 1, we were meant to keep time hitting two sticks together. Because I could not keep a beat, I got sticks that didn't make any sound at all:)
	9:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: > crack ! <
	9:17pm marmalade kitty: Batteria!
	9:22pm Alex of Chicago: Not at Merge 25, Holly?
	9:25pm Loretta: hello everyone! I'm having an issue with buffering... how frustating.. well, at least we have the archives! enjoy the show & thanks Evan I can see by the the playlist that this show is a must hear!! peace ;)
	9:26pm Holly in NC: @Alex - Sadly no. Am working - keeping a great dog alive which is really not work, it's love. Laura esp. will understand!
	9:26pm crateslinger: ug
	9:27pm 12539: "strange juxtapositions," on wfmu?!?
	9:27pm Alex of Chicago: Dogs first. I get it.
	9:27pm Ken From Hyde Park: Give the drummers some!
	9:33pm marmalade kitty: my pick is Ben Riley
	9:37pm Mike Sin: Enjoying this show! Quick note -- with the early stereo Beatles LPs with the all the drums pushed to one channel, an aspiring drummer could play an LP on a stereo equipped with a turntable and a cassette deck, drum along to the music (with headphones), and overdub his own drum track on by running a live mike into one of the channels, and recording it on the cassette deck. The Beatles without drums in one channel, young drummer's new drum track in the other! I did this so many times as a young'un.
	9:38pm Holly in NC: @Mike Sin - :-)
	9:38pm marmalade kitty: with the beatles :)
	9:38pm Stevel: Hail, Mike Sin.
	9:39pm Alex of Chicago: That's really interesting. Didn't know that.
	9:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - interesting - ? - Earl Palmer was a tap-dancer - as is often remarked Drumming is like Dancing in that all four limbs are doing different things... Trivia: Called a 'Trap' set for 'contraption' - because before that nearly every tradition in the world was one person, one drum... - FourSeasons perhaps makes points of great drums on 'Pop' & things not generally credited w/ great drums ( - I like the Hollies' drummer!)...
	9:40pm Dave Mandl: Ahoy, Mike.
	9:40pm bobdoesthings: good evening
	9:48pm Holly in NC: Hi @bobdoesthings -glad to see you!
	9:50pm bobdoesthings: @Holly Hi, glad to be seen.
	9:53pm crateslinger: Yeah it's alright.
	9:54pm bobdoesthings: depends who is looking I guess
	9:55pm Dominick: Sorry I'm late
	10:02pm marmalade kitty: I should be playing this show a bit louder (It's 3am so I can not !)
	10:04pm marmalade kitty: Budgie was his real name?
	10:09pm marmalade kitty: Peter "Budgie" Clarke
	10:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DaveClark didn't drum on DaveClark5 records ('GladAllOver') - !?! Mike Avory was a Stone for a minute - right?...
	10:15pm Lonious Monk: HELLO GOOD MORNING EVERYONE !
	10:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *Mick Avory...
	10:20pm efd: Hey everyone! Haven't had a chance to check in yet - and may not have a chance again! Thanks for tuning in and commenting, hope you're all enjoying tonight's college of percussive knowledge!
	10:35pm Lonely Planet Boy: always loved Ian Paice's drumming on Machine Head.
	10:35pm Dave Mandl: @LPB: Yup!
	10:35pm marmalade kitty: Great show EFD! listening til I drop off! :)
	10:36pm Dominick: I knew this show would deliver! One golden nougat after another
	10:37pm efd: excellent, thanks m kitty!
	10:38pm marmalade kitty: air drumming
	10:39pm spodiodi: Annnnnnnd this is why I love WFMU... thank you EFD!
	10:39pm Holly in NC: Air everything! Drumming, guitaring, vamping!
	10:39pm efd: I should play a Mötley Crüe cut next... but I won't!
	10:39pm Hi!: not even playing anything with george hurley......lame.
	10:39pm efd: thank Irwin, this is his pick!
	10:40pm Mike Sin: re:Ian Paice He could easily be the most consistently great drummer in the rock world. That dude always delivered remarkable performances throughout all the phases of Deep Purple. Great precision. In addition, his sides with the Maze (pre-Deep Purple) are powerful
	10:41pm spodiodi: Thank you, Irwin. For Van Halen. Thank you!
	10:41pm Scott Williams: Love this summit; having fun trying to guess whose pick is whose w/o looking at the playlist. throw us some ringers!
	10:41pm JakeGould: This is good. Very good.
	10:44pm Stevel: Great stuff. I know a few drummers that I will connect to the archive on this show. Such a good exercise for a non-drummer (such as me) to tune in to that aspect. Personal punk-rock favorite would be John McCarthy of The Alley Cats. en.wikipedia.org...
	10:55pm phat: Derek & The Dominos still hit the spot.
	10:57pm Mikey Liverpool: i feel like I'm listening to a Phil Schaap program. That's a good thing!
	11:00pm Lonely Planet Boy: wow, never knew Gordon played on this classic. thanks!
	11:01pm I.K.E. (Ice King Enterprises): Not weird enough. :) Maybe get Bryce in on this next time?
	11:03pm P-90: Well, Jim Gordon certainly gets around
	11:05pm Dominick: got
	11:06pm Lonely Planet Boy: didn't know Gordon was on this one, either. True, P-90.
	11:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...still but a whiff of Punk this time - but once again both schooled & entertained - can't complain! :D
	11:06pm marmalade kitty: any female drummers in the pipes?
	11:07pm P-90: @marmalade: good question
	11:11pm Danne D: A masters course from 4 masters. Just wonderful.
	11:11pm Danne D: The Robert Fripp song was interesting btw - it was sorta like an inversion of "Red"
	11:12pm Roberto: I Always loved the drumming on What is Life? before I had any idea who was behind it. I was compelled to look it up a few years ago. Sad story about Jim.
	11:13pm todd: Kid Millions of Onieda has been one of New York's most important drummers for over a decade
	11:13pm Andrew Waterloo: One drummer that really surprised me in a live setting was Colm Ó Cíosóig
	11:14pm nickybones: Sure hope so, marmalade. Plenty to choose from!
	11:15pm Andrew Waterloo: another was Mike Winnant playing with Audio One.
	11:15pm Danne D: Sorry for a Sportsy interruption - but since EFD runs a fantasy baseball league and is one of the more sportsy DJs just wanted to let folks know Jim The Poet is putting together a free Sportsytalk ESPN fantasy football league. E-mail him here if you'd like in: www.wfmu.org...
	11:17pm Danne D: Hot for Teacher is pretty much my favorite song opening of anything btw :) A mildly controversial pick perhaps in some circles (there are doubters) but I'm glad to see AVH get his well-deserved due in this forum :D
	11:18pm steve: i agree todd.
	11:18pm Danne D: (Btw Hi Holly) :)
	11:19pm efd: Totally agree, Todd! I'd make a point of including him next time I'm on the panel and not moderating. Not sure if any women drummers will be represented this time around - we did play a couple last time, I think.
	11:21pm Danne D: This could be like a 24 hour show :)
	11:21pm steve: my fav recentish drummers would probably be Brian Chippendale (from Lightning Bolt), Yoshimi (from Boredoms, I don't know if she does drums in OOIOO) and whoever the guy who was the played drums in Arab on Radar.
	11:21pm Troy Tulowitzki: Oh yeah feeling this one.
	11:24pm Scott Williams: I'm with Todd & Steve, Kid is the most energetic, fluid & spontaneously inventive drummer I've ever seen. Makes me feel like I can fly.
	11:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: When I 1st heard Zach Hill (on FMU) I literally tot he was a machine. ...Skip or not, you can hear why chosen. Is this Muscle Shoals?
	11:26pm Matt F: I enthusiastically second Dennis's choice here.
	11:27pm Dave Mandl: @RRN63: Dennis says yes (Muscle Shoals).
	11:31pm nickybones: "Kick sounded like a drum, which is my criteria." Preach.
	11:35pm 12539: Cigarettes! Ice cream!
	11:36pm Ken From Hyde Park: What do you guys think of Ginger Baker (as a drummer)?
	11:36pm phat: Thank you for the Bruford.
	11:37pm Danne D: This IS John Wetton singing. I thought so.
	11:37pm Danne D: And also thanks for the Bruford :)
	11:38pm efd: Ken FHP: I'll pose that question during the next break.
	11:39pm phat: Oh yes, it's Wetton singing and on bass. Underrated in general, I believe.
	11:40pm todd: a
	11:40pm Dave Mandl: @phat: Agreed. Really really good bassist.
	11:41pm phat: I wish you had some recordings of one of the best drummers I've ever played with. Dze Bayles. I played with him for years and he should be famous.
	11:44pm phat: I meant to say, "best drummers I've ever heard".
	11:44pm todd: Evan, Allison Busch of Awesome Color kicked it in a big Detroit Rock/Grand Funk way. Don't know if she's still in Brooklyn
	11:46pm Danne D: Yeah, Wetton shows his chops :)
	11:46pm Lonely Planet Boy: I'll plagiarize from Friends of Distinction in describing tonight's show, "I can dig it, dig it, dig it".
	11:46pm Matt F: todd- Allison is still around, her current band is called Call Of The Wild. I've never seen them because they only seem to play on nights when I'm working, but I hear they're great...
	11:46pm Holly in NC: Hi Danne! Re female drummers - I'n not especially keen on Warpaint, but huge fan of Stella Mozgawa. Any thoughts from experts?
	11:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - loved Allison in Awesome Color.
	11:50pm Tome: Great show,, love all styles of drummers .. over the years but this is just a raw power opener at it's best ,, gets the juices flowing always > bit.ly...
	11:51pm Ken From Hyde Park: I had to step away for a bit. I'll have to check the archive to get the whole Ginger Baker conversation. Thanks for taking my question. And thanks for the drummer special. See you next week or on your next shows, as applicable.
	11:51pm Danne D: Thanks for this magnificent show gentlemen :) Have a great night everyone :) Bye Holly :)
	11:53pm efd: if/when we do this again I'm going to commit to featuring drummers from just the past 20 years.
	11:53pm Dave Mandl: Thanks, folks. And thanks, EFD.
	11:54pm Dave Mandl: @efd: Definitely.
	11:54pm efd: Thanks everyone for listening and commenting! This show FLEW by!
	11:54pm Scott Williams: Please do it again & again, Evan - thanks to all 4 of you killer drummers!
	11:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - indeed a pleasure & a privilege gentlemen - Thx.
	11:55pm P-90: It flew by too fast! Thanks, efd and Gentlemen, really well done, a treat!
	11:55pm Danne D: I'm tellin ya EFD - next hurricane just lock the 4 of you guys in the station and roll out the great drummer tracks :)
	11:55pm Ike: I was just about to suggest that, EFD@11:53! Please do that! That would be VERY cool.
	11:56pm efd: I was speaking only for myself, but if others want to do the same that's fine too!
	11:56pm 12539: Wasn't the original idea that this would be a trilogy, once on each dj/drummer's show? Great job, one and all!
	11:57pm phat: I love this style of drums. I guess it's "prog". Bruford, 70s Phil Collins, Pip Pyle (who I had to look up), Richard Coughlan (who I also had to look up). Davis Atwood.
	11:57pm Stevel: Encore!
	11:57pm Megadano: Its like Danny Elfman owes his entire catalogue to this track…
	11:58pm brian: Brilliant radio. Can't wait for the next one.
	11:58pm phat: Great show. Yes, past 20 years would be great.
	11:59pm phat: Not the band Yes, in the past 20 years, I mean I agree. :-)
	11:59pm Danne D: @12539 well if it's a Trilogy then there needs to be Carl Palmer on the next show :) (My fave)
	12:00am Ike: Aw dang, I hope everyone could agree to submit to that restriction, because these first 2 drum specials have been v. heavily tilted towards older sounds.
	12:01am Holly in NC: * Sara Romweber*
	12:06am todd: My pal Jason insisted I see Onieda in '98 at Brownies. They opened with a 30 minute Sheets of Easter and it was clear the game had changed. Sonic Youth never had drums that made you mad
	12:51am Irwin: Absolutely in favor of next installment limited to drummers of the past 20 years, or currently working drummers regardless of when they started.
	1:24am pacific standard simon: So sorry I had to miss this show live -- had to do a sourdough demo at work -- will listen later. RE: female drummers - can't think of any outstanding, unless you include "percussionists" -- in which case, RUTH UNDERWOOD. So good.

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from July 23, 2014

View efd's profile

Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

Upcoming events:

Wed. Dec 4th, Noon - 3pm: Freaky Wilderness (More info...)
Brooklyn’s Freaky Wilderness includes members of Space Merchants, whose 2018 album landed in EFD’s top 10 of that year. They bring their heavy, fuzzy sound to the WFMU airwaves just days before the release of their debut album Immeasurable Heaven. They’ll preview the album in this live set ahead of the album release show on Thursday Dec. 12 at Main Drag in Brooklyn.
Wed. Dec 11th, Noon - 3pm: Manager (More info...)
Manager is a three-piece band that’s based right here in Jersey City. They recently released a new EP, HOT-LINE (Texacobra), which showcases their hard-edged percolating indie sound that may remind the listener of Echo & The Bunnymen or Yo La Tengo. Tune in to this live session and hear for yourself!

	11:13pm Andrew Waterloo: One drummer that really surprised me in a live setting was Colm Ó Cíosóig
	11:14pm nickybones: Sure hope so, marmalade. Plenty to choose from!
	11:15pm Andrew Waterloo: another was Mike Winnant playing with Audio One.
	11:15pm Danne D: Sorry for a Sportsy interruption - but since EFD runs a fantasy baseball league and is one of the more sportsy DJs just wanted to let folks know Jim The Poet is putting together a free Sportsytalk ESPN fantasy football league. E-mail him here if you'd like in: www.wfmu.org...
	11:17pm Danne D: Hot for Teacher is pretty much my favorite song opening of anything btw :) A mildly controversial pick perhaps in some circles (there are doubters) but I'm glad to see AVH get his well-deserved due in this forum :D
	11:18pm steve: i agree todd.
	11:18pm Danne D: (Btw Hi Holly) :)
	11:19pm efd: Totally agree, Todd! I'd make a point of including him next time I'm on the panel and not moderating. Not sure if any women drummers will be represented this time around - we did play a couple last time, I think.
	11:21pm Danne D: This could be like a 24 hour show :)
	11:21pm steve: my fav recentish drummers would probably be Brian Chippendale (from Lightning Bolt), Yoshimi (from Boredoms, I don't know if she does drums in OOIOO) and whoever the guy who was the played drums in Arab on Radar.
	11:21pm Troy Tulowitzki: Oh yeah feeling this one.
	11:24pm Scott Williams: I'm with Todd & Steve, Kid is the most energetic, fluid & spontaneously inventive drummer I've ever seen. Makes me feel like I can fly.
	11:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: When I 1st heard Zach Hill (on FMU) I literally tot he was a machine. ...Skip or not, you can hear why chosen. Is this Muscle Shoals?
	11:26pm Matt F: I enthusiastically second Dennis's choice here.
	11:27pm Dave Mandl: @RRN63: Dennis says yes (Muscle Shoals).
	11:31pm nickybones: "Kick sounded like a drum, which is my criteria." Preach.
	11:35pm 12539: Cigarettes! Ice cream!
	11:36pm Ken From Hyde Park: What do you guys think of Ginger Baker (as a drummer)?
	11:36pm phat: Thank you for the Bruford.
	11:37pm Danne D: This IS John Wetton singing. I thought so.
	11:37pm Danne D: And also thanks for the Bruford :)
	11:38pm efd: Ken FHP: I'll pose that question during the next break.
	11:39pm phat: Oh yes, it's Wetton singing and on bass. Underrated in general, I believe.
	11:40pm todd: a
	11:40pm Dave Mandl: @phat: Agreed. Really really good bassist.
	11:41pm phat: I wish you had some recordings of one of the best drummers I've ever played with. Dze Bayles. I played with him for years and he should be famous.
	11:44pm phat: I meant to say, "best drummers I've ever heard".
	11:44pm todd: Evan, Allison Busch of Awesome Color kicked it in a big Detroit Rock/Grand Funk way. Don't know if she's still in Brooklyn
	11:46pm Danne D: Yeah, Wetton shows his chops :)
	11:46pm Lonely Planet Boy: I'll plagiarize from Friends of Distinction in describing tonight's show, "I can dig it, dig it, dig it".
	11:46pm Matt F: todd- Allison is still around, her current band is called Call Of The Wild. I've never seen them because they only seem to play on nights when I'm working, but I hear they're great...
	11:46pm Holly in NC: Hi Danne! Re female drummers - I'n not especially keen on Warpaint, but huge fan of Stella Mozgawa. Any thoughts from experts?
	11:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - loved Allison in Awesome Color.
	11:50pm Tome: Great show,, love all styles of drummers .. over the years but this is just a raw power opener at it's best ,, gets the juices flowing always > bit.ly...
	11:51pm Ken From Hyde Park: I had to step away for a bit. I'll have to check the archive to get the whole Ginger Baker conversation. Thanks for taking my question. And thanks for the drummer special. See you next week or on your next shows, as applicable.
	11:51pm Danne D: Thanks for this magnificent show gentlemen :) Have a great night everyone :) Bye Holly :)
	11:53pm efd: if/when we do this again I'm going to commit to featuring drummers from just the past 20 years.
	11:53pm Dave Mandl: Thanks, folks. And thanks, EFD.
	11:54pm Dave Mandl: @efd: Definitely.
	11:54pm efd: Thanks everyone for listening and commenting! This show FLEW by!
	11:54pm Scott Williams: Please do it again & again, Evan - thanks to all 4 of you killer drummers!
	11:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - indeed a pleasure & a privilege gentlemen - Thx.
	11:55pm P-90: It flew by too fast! Thanks, efd and Gentlemen, really well done, a treat!
	11:55pm Danne D: I'm tellin ya EFD - next hurricane just lock the 4 of you guys in the station and roll out the great drummer tracks :)
	11:55pm Ike: I was just about to suggest that, EFD@11:53! Please do that! That would be VERY cool.
	11:56pm efd: I was speaking only for myself, but if others want to do the same that's fine too!
	11:56pm 12539: Wasn't the original idea that this would be a trilogy, once on each dj/drummer's show? Great job, one and all!
	11:57pm phat: I love this style of drums. I guess it's "prog". Bruford, 70s Phil Collins, Pip Pyle (who I had to look up), Richard Coughlan (who I also had to look up). Davis Atwood.
	11:57pm Stevel: Encore!
	11:57pm Megadano: Its like Danny Elfman owes his entire catalogue to this track…
	11:58pm brian: Brilliant radio. Can't wait for the next one.
	11:58pm phat: Great show. Yes, past 20 years would be great.
	11:59pm phat: Not the band Yes, in the past 20 years, I mean I agree. :-)
	11:59pm Danne D: @12539 well if it's a Trilogy then there needs to be Carl Palmer on the next show :) (My fave)
	12:00am Ike: Aw dang, I hope everyone could agree to submit to that restriction, because these first 2 drum specials have been v. heavily tilted towards older sounds.
	12:01am Holly in NC: * Sara Romweber*
	12:06am todd: My pal Jason insisted I see Onieda in '98 at Brownies. They opened with a 30 minute Sheets of Easter and it was clear the game had changed. Sonic Youth never had drums that made you mad
	12:51am Irwin: Absolutely in favor of next installment limited to drummers of the past 20 years, or currently working drummers regardless of when they started.
	1:24am pacific standard simon: So sorry I had to miss this show live -- had to do a sourdough demo at work -- will listen later. RE: female drummers - can't think of any outstanding, unless you include "percussionists" -- in which case, RUTH UNDERWOOD. So good.
