I thought that was a canon.WestwayKid wrote: ↑12 Mar 2019, 7:12amHe was an absolute legend. One of my favorite Hal Blaine performances is his playing on "The Boxer" by Simon & Garfunkel. Blaine and producer Roy Halee found a spot in the studio - I think it was out near the elevators - where the sound was thunderous. The snare shot after "Lie, lie, lie" is incredible. It sounds like a canon.

I was just coming here to say this. The stuff with Carole Kaye is particularly great for me.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑12 Mar 2019, 1:49pmBTW, if y'alls haven't seen the documentary The Wrecking Crew, it's well worth the time.
I've also got an audiobook of the same name (I assume the two are connected) but it's never risen high enough in the queue to listen to it.Kory wrote: ↑12 Mar 2019, 3:52pmI was just coming here to say this.

There's a story about a security man coming around the corner just as Blaine hit his snare - and getting the scare of his life!101Walterton wrote: ↑12 Mar 2019, 3:09pmI thought that was a canon.WestwayKid wrote: ↑12 Mar 2019, 7:12amHe was an absolute legend.
