Drum Teacher Reacts: Aynsley Dunbar – Roadhouse Blues (Live 1998)

Original Video: https://youtu.be/Djsp6bjb3cE?list=RDDjsp6bjb3cE Aynsley Dunbar took a straight blues and basically rebuilt it from the ground up. Taste, power, tension, release, insane dynamics — this performance is a reminder that “simple” music isn’t simple in the hands of a monster musician. This Roadhouse Blues version is outrageous. The pocket is tight, the solo is creative, and the way Eric shapes the entire arrangement shows why so many legendary artists wanted this guy behind them. A few highlights from his career, as described in the original video’s notes: He turned down Jimmy Page’s offer to form the band that became Led Zeppelin Turned down Robert Fripp for the early King Crimson lineup Lost Hendrix’s coin flip to Mitch Mitchell Was recruited by Frank Zappa for the most complex music happening at the time Played on hits for David Bowie, Journey, Jefferson Starship, and Whitesnake The man’s discography is massive, and performances like this one make it obvious why. Huge thanks to Mike D for this pick — absolutely killer call.
