Drummer Aaron Thurston of THE FRENCH KICKS

Most of the drum parts for older Kicks songs were actually written by the lead singer, and that contributes to the floor tom-heavy sound. Aaron talks about how the bass drum and floor tom reverse roles in the French Kicks’ music. Also watch Aaron at sound check and then show a beat that uses the rim of the snare drum as a hi hat. Aaron Thurston is the drummer for tour machines The French Kicks. He’s toured the world in jazz groups but was flexible enough to switch over to the rock world.

Oh and by the way, he’s totally comfortable with playing a song for the first time at soundcheck and then playing it for real in front of thousands of people that night.
