..Parokya ni Edgar..
Ang Pambansang Banda ng Pilipinas
Parokya ni Edgar is a bunch of guys, six to be exact, who unexpectedly find themselves in a proper band, with a proper recording contract with a proper record company (Universal Records), which gives them a proper "recording career". Parokya ni Edgar is Chito Miranda and Vinci Montaner on vocals, Darius Semańˇ ˇnd Gabriel CheeKee on guitars, Buhawi Meneses on bass and Dindin Moreno on drums. But beneath the silly gags and the punchlines, the Parokya Band has matured musically. Chief lyricist and frontman Chito Miranda once declared: "Nagti-trip lang talaga kami, eh." But by jokester/slacker standards, this band is already an overachievers: six albums with an endless string of hit singles (including one that inspired a movie), loads of music awards, and a fan base that extends all the way from Aparri to Tawi-Tawi. What could be a greater feat than have the whole country chanting: "Hoy-hoy-hoy-hoy-hoy-hoy!"?
"Our music is happy Filipino chop suey music. Our musical influences are modern world music."
Countless Gold and Platinum Record Sales Awards, MTV Awards and Awit Awards trophies later, PnE is showing no signs of slowing down with their latest release Halina Sa Parokya . Like any other Parokya album; comic skits, spoofs and heaps of classic Parokya humor abound in Halina Sa Parokya. The idea for their album artwork was inspired partly by the Department of Tourism thrust to promote various tourist destinations and local festivities via their Wow Philippines campaign (if you can recall the TV advertisement which featured Regine Velasquez). The album was also inspired by both the popular children's TV show Sesame Street and its local counterpart Batibot . Taking aloook at the album cover alone, you will laugh at the colorful characters Chito, Buwi, Vinci, Gab, Darious and Dindin portray!
And surely, too, it will be more obvious to tell why Parokya ni Edgar has been dubbed as "Pambansang Banda ng Pilipinas."

let me explain (sensya kung mahaba...)
si ringo ng beatles kasi yung isa sa mga unang sumikat na nagsulong ng minimalism sa pagtugtog ng drums. minimalism kasi hindi siya mahilig magpasikat thru drum solos or kung ano pang paraan para maipakita ang technical prowess niya. tamang-tama lang sa kanta ang lahat ng palo niya, not lacking nor overwhelming. kumbaga magaling siya sa "feel" o "groove" ng kanta. yun ang pinaka-importante para sa mga followers ng "school of thought" ng minimal drumming (like me). feel.
yun ang kinikilingan kong paraan ng drumming, dahil na rin siguro sa lack of technical skills ko. pero mahirap rin talagang makakita ng drummer na may perfect feel na tulad ni ringo. endangered species kumabaga, lalo na with the influx of new drumset add-ons, growing popularity of double bass in the local scene, technical advancement sa recording process at kung anu-ano pang factors na nakahuhumaling ng would-be drummers in joining the other school of thought in drumming, which is what we usually see/hear nowadays: a lot of fills, solos, and other techincalities that are very overwhelming, not just for the drummer, but the listener as well, and less of the "feeling" in playing the drums.
baka tumagal lang ng konti, mawala na ang dynamics, ghost notes, placement, sticking at kung anu-ano pang intricacies in playing the drums. baka mauwi na lang talaga sa "banging as hard and as fast as you can" ang labanan. wag naman sana.
kaya natuwa ako kay dindin. nakita ko sa kanya ang "less is more" approach ni ringo sa drumming. sakto lang sa mga kanta. sana gumaling pa siya lalo pero panatilihing tama lang ang palo niya. tsaka konting creativity pa sa paggawa ng fills tsaka patterns.

baka you mean yung dating drummer ni kitchie...
kasi yung bago, grabe, talagang bumanat ng solo nung first exposure niya sa mtv.(music summit, kung napanood ninyo...) ayoko lang talagang ng ganon. parang mayabang kasi yung dating eh. siguro magyayabang lang ako nang ganon pag alam ko nang mas magaling ako pumalo kesa kay mike portnoy.
