Hi, I just found this version of one of my favourite tracks, thought I'd share - http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xe1z2_freur-doot-doot Check out that Simmons kit! Great combination of CR-78 and SDSV(I think) Cheers, vout

Nice one! Every time I see this video though, I wonder why the guy on the left is playing a broom handle. Was that an homage to Gary Numan and the tube from his mum's Hoover? ;-)

Perhaps he really wanted a Chapman stick, but had to make do with a broom handle as they'd already blown the budget on the rest of their gear! The lyrics are excruciatingly bad, at least to a native English speaker, which is a shame as I really like the music. They continued with nonsense lyrics though, as the two main members went on to form Underworld whose "Born Slippy" has a strange shouted / chanted vocal that's also defies interpretation. Chris

First incarnation of Underworld had Freur's (doot doot)drummer Bryn Burrows as a member. This vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyqBd7-L5NA shows he still liked his Simmons gear .=) --- In Simmons_Drums@yahoogroups.com, "teknikfourteen" <teknik14@...> wrote:
