To be frank, I don't get it hehe... I agree, Korn is darn lucky to have the legendary Bozzio to play drums for them. Terry Bozzio is no stranger to music's most shocking moments. He has done so much throughout his illustrious career. He has played with the greats (Frank Zappa, Jeff Beck, etc.), he ventured into pop music (Missing Persons), he innovated the instrument through his ostinato studies and his symphonic/orchestral drumset masterpieces, he has contributed so much to the art of the modern drumset... And now, he plays for Korn.
yeah, at first i was so shocked, maybe a little bit irritated about this news. i mean, naintindihan ko pa nung nag-session si Mike Bordin for korn eh.
but i guess, that's what great drummers do. much like what peeves pointed out to me, si Vinnie Colaiuta pala nagdrums sa Megadeth album na "The System Has Failed". kung papakinggan mo lang yung mga so ngs sa CD na yun, hindi mo mahuhulaan na si Vinnie pumalo kasi meytal na meytal eh..
a good session drummer, or a good professional drummer (period) must be able to look at all his gigs na pantay-pantay. it's not weather or not
the band he or she will play for is up to standards with what he/she is used to. it's if the drummer can work with the band's sound and in a way make it his/her own without taking it from the band.
in other words, he has to fit in with the band. not the other way around. that's a great drummer for me...
