song concept

the drummer does that thing where they hit their sticks and count to 4 but instead of starting the song they just keep hitting their drumsticks and counting up all the way to 100, where the band then plays a second of music and song’s over

Deirdre O’Callaghan went through no end of earplugs in the five years she spent shooting The Drum Thing. Her moody photos provide a glimpse into the studios and homes of nearly 100 drummers, from Lars Ulrich of Metallica to Jack White to French, who is perhaps best known for his work with Captain Beefheart. “I’m really interested in the personality who chooses to be the drummer,” O’Callaghan says. “They sit at the back, and yet they’re driving the music.”

Live life like you read music. A few measures ahead but always focused on what you're playing.
