DRUMS SOLO

Alfredo Dias Gomes - Drums


Influences: My first great influence was Carl Palmer, drummer of Emerson, Lake and Palmer. I was ten years old when I heard the album Tarkus. To leave of that day I decided to learn drums. I started to learn all the songs of ELP, mainly the drums solos. In this same time I also listened a lot to Bill Bruford of Yes, John Bonham of Led Zeppelin and Keith Moon of The Who.

Reading on my idols, I discovered the idols of my idols: Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Art Blakey and Elvin Jones.

And opening my head for the Jazz, I discovered Tony Williams and Jack De Johnette.

There Fusion came, that was fundamental in my formation. When I listened to Billy Cobham for the first time in Mahavishnu Orchestra, I didn’t believe in what I was hearing. For me Billy revolutionized the way to play drums.

Others that influenced me a lot: Alphonse Mouzon, Narada Michael Walden, Lenny White, Don Alias(I had classes of drums with Don Alias), Steve Gadd, Harvey Mason, Peter Erskine, Terry Bozzio.

And my contemporary: Dave Weckl, Dennis Chambers, Omar Hakim, Vinnie Colaiuta, Simon Phillips and many other excellent drummers.

The brazilian drummers that more influenced me were: Airto Moreira, Paulinho Braga, Ivan Conti "Mamão" and the Picolé.
