Jack Bruce - "The Clearout"

not the full song, but "Baby Wants To Ride" (Frankie Knuckles/Jamie Principle) has that neat lil' rat-a-tat-tat break...("America!...clap your hands...I thought we loved each other...do you feel free?")

Last night I remembered that story about when Miles Davis wanted Tony Williams to go heavy on the snare he told him "play that 'Rat Patrol' stuff."

To tell the truth, I don't know what exactly Tony was supposed to play to get that "Rat Patrol" sound, but it sure sounds like it should be militaristic.

I always thought the end part of "Hunted" by Pale Saints was kind of militaristic, especially those snare rolls. But it's in 5/4 which makes it a bit of a bummer to dance to.

I was just wondering if any of those twee Sarah bands ever employed militaristic drumming, 'cos wouldn't that be a contrast...Pale Saints come pretty close...
