As some who always listens out for the drum parts and messes around with drums I think his drumming is fantastic on this. Tight and economical.
And If You Should See Dave is another highlight.
The guy has a great style and it's a nice to hear him play on some new material.

Re: This Song
Sir your totally right, I can tell you as a drummer Jim is top notch, the man himself Mr Black chose Jim and mentored him, Jim respects Jets bears but puts his own stamp on them, I look forward to hearing his disco beat on White Stallion, and if you feel like writing a Jim Mac poem why not? He replaced a legend so deserves a Poem I think.

Re: This Song
Jim respects Jet’s bears but he puts Stamps on them? WTF!? Where is he posting these bears to and do the RSPCA know about this?Cells&Plasma wrote: ↑07 Sep 2021, 21:56Don't encourage him..Jet keeps now too as well as Tractors??Greatkudu wrote:Sir your totally right, I can tell you as a drummer Jim is top notch, the man himself Mr Black chose Jim and mentored him, Jim respects Jets bears but puts his own stamp on them, I look forward to hearing his disco beat on White Stallion, and if you feel like writing a Jim Mac poem why not?

Re: This Song
Oh right i never knew Jet chose him and mentored him, knowing that even more backs up the fact that Jet sees him as a good drummer whose right for the stranglers too.I can imagine this brilliantly starting with Water and how good will last man on the moon sound too,can't wait to finally just play the album in full track after track even though we have heard alot of tracks by now.....but there's also alot we haven't so what surpises are still in store for the fans to like or dislike?Greatkudu wrote: ↑07 Sep 2021, 21:50Sir your totally right, I can tell you as a drummer Jim is top notch, the man himself Mr Black chose Jim and mentored him, Jim respects Jets bears but puts his own stamp on them, I look forward to hearing his disco beat on White Stallion, and if you feel like writing a Jim Mac poem why not?

Re: This Song
I thought it was JJ that chose Jim as Ian went off on a World Tour with Bombay Motor Club after the Giants Tour in 2012.

You're all missing the most important thing. He looks and performs like a younger Jet. I think I've even seen the odd grimace
