CFG Drummers

[jklein87]

I was wondering why the main drummer to me seemed like henry spinetti. ringo was on a few songs. and jim kelter seemed to only hit like 3 drums every few beats. i don't understand why jim keltner was even there if they had this other guy named henry doing the drumming. jim keltner seemed to look bored and not play very much. please help me.

I don't share that feeling jklein87.

Jim Keltner just isn't a "Keith Moon" kinda drummer or "Ray Cooper"-ish if you want a closer comparison to a percussionist.

He was very much there, Jim, and I think that Jim in the last 15+ years was a very very close friend to the Harrisons and certainly was on the first list Clapper wrote of people who just had to be there.

When you look at the Wilbury video clips you will see that Jim is just being Jim, not drawing attention too much and sometimes even laughing.

Bill Wyman spent most of his life on stage without one single smile on his face..Charlie Watts also isn't quite like he's having the time of his life..

Jim Capaldi also is on drums btw.

No, from having seen the film once, I don't think I will see it that way. George loved having more than one drummer on stage and Jim had to be there.

Like Dhani said on the DvD, or at least he said something like, "There were about 8 different guitar players, I looked on the left and it was all guitars, on the right all guitars, just had to look away and turned around and there were like 4 different drummers!! "
