Rickie Mazzotta - Sound Profile Interview — Philadelphia | Earmark Hearing Conservation

Looks like a big part of the health issues Rickie was alluding to have to do with hearing loss and Tinnitus. Wear earplugs, folks.

 

Really good to see him raising awareness about this though.

 

Just caught that article. i've only been wearing plugs to shows in the last 5 years. Wish I'd started sooner!

 

i used to be a no-earplugs person but then i started playing drums in a band and it rapidly became untenable. so. very relatable rickie :(. earplugs rule

 

ah his list of inspirational drummers is freaking identical to mine!!!

 

Abe Cunningham is probably the best thing about the Deftones.

 

Abe Cunningham rules and Digital Bath is probably my favorite drum groove of all time. Playing it is difficult enough. Get the feel of it down? That’s an even more difficult task in and of itself

 

abe cunningham always playing around a pocket so enormous it's like a black hole

 

He has dozens of amazing songs but Digital Bath is always the first thing that pops in my head with him. That opening is just insane, lol.

Dope that one of my favorite drummers loves him as well.

 

Cunningham probably has the best sounding production of any drummer I’ve ever heard. They’re extremely crisp and every tiny impact is crystal clear. Damn, he’s good

 

Abe’s performance on Passenger is also stellar

 

I only got to see Deftones once but it was the tour with Dillinger Escape Plan opening and Greg came out and did Passenger with them. Holy shit, soooo dope

 

That sounds incredible. Every time I’ve seen Deftones, Chino has always sung the guest vocal part. I was kinda hoping Tim from Rise Against, or even Dustin from Thrice, would come out and do the part when I saw them on tour a few years ago considering Tim had previously done the part at a festival a couple years back at that point in time, but, alas, it was just Chino

 

Hmm...will Digital Bath be the song that gets me into the Deftones? time will tell.

 

Stop what you're doing and listen to that song right now

 

I’m not a Deftones mega fan or anything but if you’re even vaguely into interesting loud rock, they’re a must listen. At least White Pony.

 

Diamond Eyes is their best, but White Pony is right behind it

 

I fell off after SNW but they’ve never made a bad album

 

You gotta get back on that horse, my guy

 

Went and listened to WP after work and “Feiticeira” also has KILLER drums, whew boi

 

This is the closest I've got to liking them. Finally coming around to the instrumentation. Still need struggle with the vocals. Digital Bath is a great song though.

 

Detroit show canceled due to illness in the Thrice camp. What a bummer for those fans :/

 

i am sad please post if anyone sees anything about mwY still playing somewhere

 

I’ll post if I see anything, sorry :/

 

Dang, they couldn't just convert it to a mwY headline show? I guess that'd be weird. Never heard of that happening, but it seems like a waste.
