DRUMGASM....a supergroup of drummers????

A new "Supergroup of Drummers"  has been formed including Janet Weiss of Wild Flag, Zach Hill of Death Grips, and Matt Cameron of Soundgarden, and Pearl Jam. The three bashers have come together to form a drumming supergroup, dubbing their upcoming album, Drumgasm.
Portland label Jackpot Records currently has a webpage devoted to the new project.
"Three people, three drum kits, some microphones and a reel of tape – that's it: pure spontaneity," reads the listing. "There's nothing out there that's very comparable to this – maybe the Voodoo drum ritual music of the Drummers of the Societe Absolument Guinin, is all I can think of, though admittedly even that is a pretty far cry."
 This collection of skin-hitters should be out  on Aug. 27th. You can pre-order your copy on
Jackpot Records.com.

 "After the session was done and mixed, I was given access to the recordings, and I spent hours listening closely, parsing out the details in what seems at first like a Niagara Falls of sound. In fact it's very possible to pick out what each of the drummers is doing at a given time and zoom in on action/reaction, call and response, time games, shifting levels of synchronization and de-synchronization, repetition and pattern...it's all there if you want to dissect it. But eventually I found that simply relaxing into the sound, riding the contours of energy, density, movement, was probably the most rewarding way of listening to this music. At this level, the experience is deeply calming, as the sound becomes a river, sometimes roaring in a torrent, other times opening up to reveal subsurface details, but always moving, flowing."
"So for us, the freaks, the heads, this is gold: masters of their instruments in a frenzy of creation - creation for its own sake, for the love of music and sound and drums, a universe away from music as product, musician as brand. Dig it."
