Cool and funny, from Jeff “Tain” Watts

Nice moment, bad camera angle

A nice demonstration of how I have more experience as a drummer than as a camera operator. Although having my face hiden by a pole is useful in the event that I fall off the stool or encounter some similar musicial mishap.

Playing bad can actually be hard

This intentional dismantling of the old jazz standard, “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore,” was a lot of fun the handful of times we attempted it with the other-wise fusion jazz minded group headed by Austin, Texas guitarist Mitch Watkins. I found it actually took a lot of concentration to play this bad. But there’s something strangely pleasing to me about it. Maybe it’s was a natural venting of frustration from playing this song for real about 1000 times too many.
