Han Bennink on Cheese Kit Diptych - Encore
I know you, little mask-wearers!
You who act all posh around DeB...
"I listen to Test Dept and Einsturzende Neubauten playing iron pipes and pieces of sheet metal..."; "And what about Z'ev?"; "Look, I have all the records of African percussionists playing empty gourds and armadillo shells!"; "And I have the record of the 'bottari' of Portico, #gnegnegne" The worst ones are those who brag about having been drummers...
AMATEURS!
Here you have the CHEESE DRUMS!
And, look, the one playing it is Han Bennink, who is far from a novice! This guy has played with Wes Montgomery, Annette Peacock, Paul Bley, Peter Brotzmann, Eric Dolphy, and many others, and has recorded 7 albums under his own name!
I don't know if I make myself clear... (unlike that couple of you who played the toy drum in the parish band...)
The complete performance can be found on YouTube, a concert held in 2008 during some Contemporary Art festival; unfortunately, the concert (as far as I know) is only available on some pirate bootleg, waiting for some record label with the right guts to immortalize it on phonographic support.
When that finally happens, I’m sure many of us will rush to buy a copy!
