Alan White - All About Rush Pays Tribute to the Yes Legend

Описание: Alan White of Yes - All About Rush Pays Tribute to the Legend

All About Rush, and more specifically me personally, was saddened to hear of the passing of one of the greatest Progressive Rock drummers of all time - Alan White of Yes.

I don't think Alan got the recognition he deserved as a great drummer. Just the fact that he was tasked to learn the entire set list for the "Close to the Edge" tour in three days time was a monumental feat in and of itself! The fact that he remained the drummer of Yes to the end showed that absolutely deserved to fill those huge shoes, namely Bill Bruford.

I absolutely LOVED his style of playing - extremely efficient yet powerful, great balance behind the kit allowing his arms and hands to do practically all the work. You may not have gone to a Yes concert for an 'Alan White drum solo' per se, but if you just listen to a live recording from the seventies you would think that he's flailing all over the place, but no - controlled chaos.

I would consider him my second-favorite drummer of all time, after Neil Peart. So sad that they are both gone. I think that, at least from a distance, they had a mutual respect for one another, and I have a feeling Neil learned a thing or two from Alan. I'm just glad that I had a chance to see Mr. White play live, even though it was just one time.

So here's my tribute to the legendary Alan White. He will be most sorely missed!
