Big Drum Thump

Fellow fellows, first drop your eyes to the pic below (linger a good minute or two…we totally understand) and then come back here for this scoop: April Rose Pengilly’s not merely a hot model with rock-father genes (thank you, INXS sax man!). No, Pengilly’s also apparently a drummer. And she plays in high heels. And she’s eighteen.

Like, when did the universe start doing requests?

Another clip of Rainn Wilson drumming in the upcoming movie The Rocker. And this time he’s naked. Which we all know improves stick control immensely.

We shit you not. The Crue crew will put in an appearance on King’s show this Friday (June 20) as part of the media blitz for the band’s upcoming album, Saints of Los Angeles. Check out the promo clip below (if you can tolerate Access Hollywood‘s amateur-hour media player).

Bill Cosby, one of the more famous of the famous people who really want to be drummers, decided to get another gig after he had a gander at Max Roach.

I finally went to see Max play and he played a song “Parisian Thoroughfare” that Bud Powell wrote….Max sat there so relaxed and playing it like he was wiping off a table top or something. And I said, “No, no. I got to be funny.”

Yeah, Cos, we’ve all been there at some point. Let’s go have some puddin’.

Rolling Stone reported yesterday that drummer Lee and bombshell Anderson are giving it another go. Tommy said to the magazine:

Pamela and the kids have moved in with me….It’s awesome, man. It’s definitely working. You can tell on the kids’ faces—they’re happy when we’re together.

Whoa, first a Motley reunion and now Pam. Think there’s any hope for Paiste cymbals to wriggle their way back into his heart?

First Avril, now Rosie. Just goes to show what all JamJaw readers already know: everybody wants to be a drummer.
