If you read my first post on Daisy Mayhem you saw the reference to the DRUMSHIP ENTERPRISE. This is really some contraption! Scott Kissel's "drumset" consists of a cardboard box, a wooden box, various sized tin cans and pieplates, along with a 5 gallon plastic water bottle for a snare, and the suitcase it all gets packed into is the bass. His stool is a large flat African drum he acquired somewhere along the way. I didn't mention any of this in the prior post because its not the focal point of the band, by any means. As a drummer he plays it pretty straight. So the novelty aspects are not explored. But the "sound" makes sense, in that none of the sounds produced have no 'sustain' to them, making them the perfect complement to the 'blue-grassey-folksy-even jazzy' grooves they hit. The following is their delightful version of the Dylan classic Farewell Angelina

Nice, I like this. It's so different from Dylan's I can't even remember what that sounds like. Which album did he do it on?
My Trusted MOGs
Yeah, this is so sweet. And they really dug into it live! The song was for a long time a treasure of bootleggers. Finally officially released on the oddly named bootleg series.

Excellent sunny Saturday afternoon stuff, DM. Your taste is unerring.

The drummer really propels this song, and doesn't dominate the proceedings too much. Sometimes it bugs me when drummers, even famous ones, crash the cymbals too much, creating a white noise that blots everything else out, including whatever intricate syncopated beat there was. I imagine myself walking into the recording studio, rudely detaching the cymbal and frisbeeing it into the opposite wall.
