Agreed! I will never for the life of me understand how TP could have preferred the boring, metronome style drumming of Steve Ferrone to that of Stan. Ferrone ruins so many great TP songs for me... dum, dum, thump, dum, dum, thump.hodgo said:
I'm really enjoying this set a lot, including the McGuinn & John Lee Hooker sets, but when it comes to Steve Ferrone I agree with you whole heartedly. He has such a boring, repetitive drumming style, dum, dum, thump, unfortunately that's what TP preferred yet Stan would have added so much more to these songs.hodgo said:
A better drummer would helped more than anything else. Dum, dum, thump gets a little too repetative and boring after more than a couple of songs.Zafu said:
He’s had quite a career for someone you appear to think is a lousy drummer. Steve Ferrone - WikipediaAlan57 said:
I agree Steve is a great drummer.Different to Stan.If anything he has a bigger range than Stan although both are mighty.MechanicalAnimal6 said:
plus Steve was a team player and didn't throw tantrums and fits like Stan did.....i thought Steve was more than fine in Tom Petty's band.

I never said he wasn't a capable drummer, he's definitely that, boring but capable.Just because I'm not a drummer myself doesn't mean I can't tell the difference between a capable and more interesting drummer.

He drummed on Clapton's Unplugged and George Harrison's Live in Japan albums. He's not shabby.Hoodo Man said:
pretty sure he was on Claptons 24 Nights live from the Royal Albert Hall as wellhodgo said:
I remember at the time Ferrone wasn't very happy that for the Blues Nights, EC replaced him with Jamie Oldaker, EC quite wisely knew who the better blues drummer would be.J_D__ said:
He’s a serviceable drummer much like Kenney Jones later in his career.hodgo said:
I actually think Kenney, was/is a much more interesting drummer throughout his whole career than Steve Ferrone.
