There's just something about the somberness that makes me more productive. This is the first I've seen of him performing. I'm no musician, but he seems to be quite incredible with that guitar. The odd thing about this video is that I get a feeling about where his head was at, melancholy to a fault. It's a shame we won't be getting any new music from this genius.

It's amazing. Jem Cohen did this – a series of three shorts following him around Portland, called ‘Lucky Three’. It’s amazing.

This works especially great on "ambient" sounding drums with a big lowend sustain, such as 50's and 60's Ludwigs, Slingerland, Leedy or newer DW's. Works very well if you want a natural sound. Smack some tube comp. on, and you could have a killer sound. Of course depends on the sound you want, but usually, miking from behind gives a nice natural compression and attack, that is hard to get from using ambient mics solo. Anyway, that's how I usually mike my Ringo kit from '63 ( and he actually played on it!) to get a full sound. But it's not for a "clean" drumsound, as you can imagine. Best Lars Hedemann Hey
