Christine Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 I was watching Johnny Cash at Montreal the other day and spotted that his drummer, WS Holland, was playing open-handed. In his case he's moved the hi-hat over to the left so he's still playing with his hands the 'right way' round. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmSObDRLIfs It's a great gig and the rhythm section seem to be having at least twice as much fun as the rest of the band 😉 Also I've also update the pics for this club too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Fluke" Holland was a true stylist. He invented many of the train beats used today. Another great drummer from Tennessee. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirstin Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 (edited) When I first saw Harry Miree a couple years ago, it hit me how his drum layout is very close to Holland's. He started slowly rearranging his kit shortly after moving to Tennessee. I've always assumed that Holland was one of his key inspirations for doing that. P.S. Nod to Holland playing for Carl Perkins too. I have a couple old Carl Perkins albums that Mom had collected way back. Put Your Cat Clothes On! Oh and here is Holland backing Carl. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4s8mQekpakQ Edited March 31, 2023 by Kirstin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 When I watch Harry Miree and bruford using cable hats to open up the kitI do find it a very attractive approach. Maybe in the future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
