My Window To The World…

I am a drummer, and Terry Bozzio (whom I had the great pleasure of studying with) is definitely one of my favourite drummers. He is in my Top 3, alongside Joey Baron and Tony Williams (RIP).

While checking some Bozzio-related stuff on the internet, I came across his Wikipedia page – and found out that he played on the latest album by KORN!?!? “What the “/”=/”/=”*ç/”%?”, I thought.

One of the tracks was available on Korn’s MySpace Page. I have to admit that I was very pleasantly surprised with the result.

Terry Bozzio’s very, very, very own and totally unique style had a huge impact on the track. Oftentimes I feel his playing is way too much right into-your-face, not leaving enough space for the other instruments. Not on the KORN track I heard, I must say.

Terry Bozzio was supposed to tour with the band, but has now decided against this plan. No-one will be able to reproduce what he played. Technically, Bozzio is in a league of his own.
