Post by: Cherri on May 15, 2006, 06:27:17 PM: Yes..Yes.. I am excited! The rhythm section was flowing.The drummer foot is nice, wish I could have had a closer look at his technique. I like to see a drummer (musician) with a fair left hand; lwhich I am focusing more on open (left-hand lead) play. The bassline with the slap action really accented the cadence. Thanks for sharing.

Title: Re: New Direction video clip
Post by: vtguy84 on June 23, 2006, 07:41:44 AM: I was really feeling the energy on this song. I know I'm not a drummer so I really didn't pay attention to that, but the choir was hitting it. Definitely refresed the song that they did a few years ago! Loved it

Sorry man, but I have to disagree with you there. No offense to this drummer, but Cal's sound is one of a kind......
Title: Re: New Direction video clip
Post by: Pearldrummer1 on June 23, 2006, 03:45:30 PM: Ok, I TAKE IT BACK, I TAKE IT BACK, I TAKE IT BACK!!!!!!!!!!! Did you hear those crispy rolls he did in the middle of the song..............WOW, He sounds almost identicle to Cal...........

Post by: ajohns on August 11, 2006, 02:06:46 PM: New D is hot. Being from Chicago and getting to see them on the regular, I think that a lot of people here sleep on them. I'm definitely feeling how the rest of the world is diggin that Chicago sound.

Phillips Feaster-Boards...MD(He's a BEAST!)
Lennard Razor-Organ (He is a monster yall)
Rodney Jones-Bass (Lil Rodney, one of the cleanest bass players in the Chi)
Title: Re: New Direction video clip
Post by: ajohns on August 11, 2006, 02:09:12 PM: I was at this recording and it was a night to remember! I forgot to mention that Joshua's troop is up and coming too! Ya'll betta not sleep on them. They just recorded their 3rd Live project las month....the band is pretty much the same as New D's.
Title: Re: New Direction video clip
Post by: Krazy_afro_man on August 13, 2006, 06:17:18 AM: mmhmmm. That was a nice groove. And yes. That did sound like Calvin rodgers. Locked in the song in a nice pocket, nice timing and those snare to cymbal rolls. My favorite. I hope that the whole cd has that kind of energy. I got that one cd with calvin rodgers on it Rain. The only coo song on there was new direction, #1. The rest of the cd was weeeaaakkkkk!!! (no offense, i do have an opinion)

Post by: FlamTap on August 14, 2006, 05:49:46 PM: The guy on the set was Scooter. That guy is bad. His pocket is nice. Scooter and this other guy Justin are said to be the next Calvin Rodgers and Rex Hardy Chicago. Oh yeah someone asked who the guy on the bass was. His name is Rodney Jones. He also plays with Chicago Mass as well as Joshua's Troop.
