Rick Holmstrom is one of our best Bluesmen just now breaking out as a solo performer. Or just now getting some recognition for his songwriting and solo performing. He has a strong sense for the roots and it's most obvious in his tone. Then ya notice it in his rhythm.
Today I got a new Holmstrom hook in me. His drummer on "These Roads" (first track on Hydraulic Groove) does an interesting variation on what I think is technically called a shuffle...I don't really know music in any technical sense so correct me if I'm using the term wrong...but subtly the drummer seems to do a brief roll ending in a bass drumbeat, repeatedly.
And then at about 2:35 the drummer, I think it's his percussion and not electronic, begins to do a sharp pinging sound. It fits in a startling way. http://grooveshark.com/#!/search/son...om+These+Roads
Our percussionists don't get the kudos they deserve, so just thought I'd highlight this example of understated, creative percussion and shine some light on ya, sittin & working hard at the back of it all.

Thanks, Dan. Good bands. Good drummers.
Any idea what guitars are in the Abe Vagoda vid...one on the left looks like a Blacktop or Pawnshop Series Tele maybe?

Left dude is playing a Squier Tele Custom, which is differentiated from the Fender Tele Custom versions because it has a traditional Telecaster headstock. You can also see the Squier logo.
Singer dude is playing an Ibanez Talman TC360, which I only know because Tom Morello has custom one.
