Tune in between 2_35-4pm (London time) to listen to Amazing Songs & Other Delights #11 The Kick & Backbeat edition on Yé Yé Radio. It is all about drums, drummers and, of course, songs. Songs in which drums drive or sustain the song. There will be 23 songs to listen to from an assortement of bands/drummers. Previous shows can be found on the radio’s mixcloud.

Amazing Songs & Other Delights #11 is called The Kick & Backbeat edition and it is all about the drums and the men and women behind them. It is longer than usual, at nearly 90 minutes and it airs tomorrow, Monday 11th, 2:35-4pm (London time) @ Yé Yé Radio.

From Charlie Watts to Maureen Tucker, through Samuel Palitos, J.D. Samson, Mick Joyce, Ginger Baker or Janet Weiss there are 23 songs to be listened to.

This show was a long time coming. The possibility of interviewing Simon Gilbert propelled it and Charlie Watts’ death sealed it. Drummers have a special place in my heart. It was a jazz drummer, Lino Oliveira, who taught me pretty much everyting I know music wise – but, for classic music and music theory. A little later, in 1986, it was another drummer, Carlos Moura, who helped me with my bass and a few other things.

There are beloved dummers missing, like Pete de Freitas of Echo & The Bunnymen. The show is not meant to be a “best drummers” one. Rather, a showcase of drums in songs, be it songs driver by drums or with drums more in the background. And a selection of good songs with drums and, or, percussion that I like.

The beautiful yellow drum kit in the photo is Val di Fiemme kit and was made by Andrew Johnston of RePercussion Drums.

Special thanks to Simon Gilbert for introducing me to Andrew’s amazing drums.
