Re: Pete's Snippets

[PAULJNORT@aol.com]

I am sorry if I came across as " how dare you not know the difference between 
kenny and keith", pls excuse my arrogance.  anyway, I always felt I could 
hear the differences in drumming as distinctly as  some can distinguish 
voices/vocals.  But I will submit the following as my "honest opinion", and 
hope that upon a closer listen, others will agree w me. I do not have the 
re-mastered tommy soundtrack, but I do have the album and the orig CD..it has 
liner notes...each song is listed as being performed by a wide variety of 
drummers, or it is listed as being performed by "The Who".  some songs are 
listed as being performed by Pete T. but with certain vocalists. I recognize 
pete's drumming on songs like "Mother and Son". When I say "recognize", I 
mean from listening to "Who Came First" about a thousand times.  Other 
Drummers listed on various songs areKenny Jones, Tony newman, Mike 
Kelly,graham deacon, etc.
    As far as Pete's drumming on QUAD, I am almost sure he does that short 
drum roll intro to the SONG "Quadrophenia" (right after Roger sings the final 
"Can you see the real me-me-me-me-me-me-me......", and then you hear that 
same type drumroll again at :45 secs into that song.    it just sounds like 
the "drumrolls" he does on Who Came First, and on the "Mother and Son" song 
on the Tommy soundtrack.....The Quad thing really is a "Snippet", but I have 
just always recognized it as pete, don't know why it was edited into the 
song, tho I know they can edit bits in like that.....Does anyone else think I 
may be correct on this, is it too much minutia?             Jeff
