I dont know much about playing the drums, but it seems like a waste of energy to go full muppet. I could be wrong
Edit: in all seriousness dude is probably a great drummer and a nice guy, but he lost me at goose
Ben is one of the reasons I used to listen to Goose. He has a deep grove, is technically proficient, improvises well, and can dish out the complex polyrhythms to elevate a jam. His drum tone sounded way better than the new guy.
I think they ended up hiring a jam band drummer. Wasn’t he in a bunch of GD and Allman’s cover bands before this? From what I’ve seen, he has a small bag of tricks that he plays over and over. It’s very busy, but he flows well. Just not the technical level of the old drummer. Maybe it’s for the best and Ben got bored playing the same jam time and time again. The new guy doesn’t seem to mind.

I wouldn’t either with the paychecks he’s getting
Has this shit really happened before in the drug band world, a change in personnel while the band is in its peak/upswing.

UM, tDB, Spafford
None of those bands ever came close to Goose in terms of size though

That’s not true. UM has 6 members whereas Goose only has 5. You’re correct about tDB and Spafford, both of them are quartets.

Yeah Ben’s got that tight pocket fr
The latest Goosemas got me to say “wait, maybe the memes are just memes”. And I listened to their earlier stuff to dig in a little more, and meh, was pretty good. Decent jams, but nothing as good as Goosemas imo. And then Ben left lmao. I think that was their peak. Idk what they can top with the new guy.
