Died of a brain tumor....very young at 44.
Sad beyond words.
Sad beyond words.
Very sad news, I checked the Charlatans website from time to time to follow his recovery progress, unfortunately I thought he was doing better.
RIP, and condolences and respect to his family & band mates.
Something I've been meaning to ask Duncan,Is that a Holland and Holland over and under,I assume 12 gauge?I've also heard that 20 and 16 Gauge are more popular in Europe.
Brian is and amazing and musical modern day drummer.
My list o' favorites,including Brian would be too long, but some would be, Joe Morello,Papa Jo Jones,Elvin,Jack De Jonette,Louis Bellson,Buddy,Philly Jo Jones,and Peter Erskine.
Steve B
Met Jon at Preston, where a mate got me in to the sound check, he was a really nice guy and we talked about drums, mainly Gretsch, as he was the guy who switched me on to them from afar, he signed a lug for a drum I was rebuilding, then he asked me to sound check his kit, while he went front of house to listen.
That was/ is a massive deal to me. I was always trying to play like him, and Up To Our Hips really made an impression on me, I learnt every lick of that album.
I dont wanna sound like a major fan boy but i was genuinely gutted when I heard, we all have that one drummer that we connect with out of all of those we love, Jon was mine.
