Ted Parsons Drums

RHYTHM ATTACK MOVES
In the mid eighties, Ted Parsons was one of the first drummers to weave the unflinching relentlessness of a machine, into the fabric of a human groove. That approach to drumming - an aggressive, militant, dead center drive, has since become the rhythmic staple of today’s, industrial metal, electronica , dub and alternative music . First with NYC underground noise merchants Swans, then with Jim Thirwell’s Foetus Corruptus, Prong, Bill Laswell, Bucket Head , Godflesh ,Killing Joke and a host of other Groups and musicians. Constantly on the road with many of these groups, Ted has toured the world playing to audiences around the globe for the past 20 years. It only takes a walk through a music store, a peek at The All Music Guide or a listen to any Alternative music show on college radio to understand the position these groups hold in the world of music.
