Amazing Songs & Other Delights #11 – The Kick & Backbeat edition by Raquel Pinheiro @ Yé Yé’s mixcloud

Amazing Songs & Other Delights #11 – The Kick & Backbeat are 22 songs and one instrumental with druns, and, or percussion, and drummers in mind and can now be found on Yé Yé’s mixcloud – tracklist below. I mixed things a little. Some drummers are not playing with their main band, or the band they become known for ( Simon Gilbert), here with Futon rather than Suede), others are playing a little differently than what is usually thought of them (Dave Grohl). A couple or so aren’t even seen as drummers, or drumming is not the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of them – Josh Homme, Mick Harvey. All in all I choose songs I like, with drummers I like. A few of those that are important to me are missing, Pete de Freitas, John Convertino, etc. The start of the show is the late Charlie Watts, that has a double appearance. And nothing like a fabulous yellow (my favourite colour) drum kit to make it all brighter and, well, drummy. 🙂 Rui Pimenta & Pedro Tenreiro allowed me to push the envelope and come up with an a hour and a half show. 😃
(the yellow drum kit is a Val di Fiemme made by Andrew Johnston of Repercussion Drums)
