Not prog at all, but Van Halen's "Hot for Teacher" still blows me away. it's just ridiculous.

This is surely the prog drum intro, complete with expletive in the middle

As a figure of speech professional and professionalism means doing things with confidence and skill, I fail to see what all the fuss is about. (and that's saying something coming from me)


Anyway, this lot are in Prog Related, (who knows why), so it's close enough:
What?

It doesn't. There were guys before Guy who could chop more proficiently than Guy. He can do better. He still has more room. Just because you have a few classy drum fills up your sleeve, that doesn't automatically make you a pro.

Does that mean Ringo Star is barely professional because so many drummers posses better technical skill?
Give me one performance where Ringo chopped proficiently.

Guy does a great job on Arrow, and in VdGG in general.
On "Arrow", "Killer", ... yes, but most of the time it sounds to me as if he is just there for rhythm back-up.


I'm not sure you understand what a "professional" is. It's not their technical ability, it's getting paid to do it for a living. As far as I'm aware, VdGG were professionals during the mid 70's.
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Any number of John Bonham's bone-crushing lead-ins. Often copied, never equalled.

Apart from the bit nicked from Hendrix. Wink


Yes, Third Stone from the Sun! Wonder how they managed to get away with that and not credit it.

Maybe he had the same lawyers as Led Zeppelin.

I have been in a lot of bands that have attempted to play "Get Back" - I've yet to find a drummer who could play it in the same way as Ringo - it sounds simple but getting the right feel to it is deceptively difficult. 

I will just quote a well-known quite reasonable prog drummer - Mr Phil Collins.

"Phil Collins, who was himself influenced by Starr, said; “Ringo is vastly underrated. The drum fills on the song "A Day in the Life" are very complex things. You could take a great drummer today and say, 'I want it like that.' He wouldn't know what to do.”

All 'professional' means is that one earns money from what one does. It's not a measure of actual skill or quality. Insticntly you may think it does, but....it doesn't.
that i exactly what i was about to say,, as redicules it might seem, You could be Bill Bruford an play like virtoustc god but without a paycheck , your an amatour, or you could be as technical as a tree trunk and earn monwy , aka professional.

Absolutely. Tracey Emin and Damien Hirst are "professional" artists. Sorry, just couldn't resist that cheap shot.Embarrassed

Split Enz' "Albert Of India" from the Waiata a.k.a. Corroboree - album; that has a subtle drum intro.
That band was really good at percussion.

yep me too although it was an 'edit' from the original version which had a heavy keyboard/synth intro

Would Tom Sawyer count?

Actually hard to think of that many
