To my surprise, April's Drum magazine featured Jose Pasillas Jr, from Incubus. Finally they feature an artist that I care about, sweet! I think that Jose Pasillas is an awesome drummer and deserved much kudos because of the way he puts together off-beat grooves and his cymbal work.
After reading the article I think that I personally would have asked more about how changing the bass player has changed the sound of the band. I definitely notice a difference between the pre ‘A Crow left of the murder’ Incubus and the Incubus of today. I understand that Dirk Lance had a lot to do with not only the bands song writing, but the core itself. Not to mention that I read that Ben Kenney does not even play the old stuff the same way it was originally written. He does not play any of the slap bass at all! That is bound to change the sound. It’s a shame if you ask me, I really loved both “Make Yourself” and “Morning View”, these are among my favorite CD’s of all time. And although I really like “A Crow”, I think that their latest, “Light Grenades” is probably the worst CD they have done to date. I get into some of it, but if it were any other band, I would have thrown it out long ago. It also disappoints me that I can never see the old Incubus live.
I also would really love to know the real story behind why he is no longer with the band.
Anyhow, check out the magazine. It also has an article written about online drum lessons. I have added them to the links section of this website. Yea, I stole the links right from the magazine.
