Adam Deitch
(July 2002 Issue)
Taking Sco Back To The Funk This time around, legendary guitarist John Scofield wasn't looking for
a jam-band drummer. With Adam Deitch, he
went for the funk. The New
York native handles all acoustic and electronic drumming on Scofield's
latest
album, 'berjam. The result is sort of hip-hop-meets-Dennis-Chambers.
Although Deitch cut 'berjam with a
Yamaha Birch Absolute kit, a Tama Stewart Copeland snare, and
various auxiliary snares, he's currently using a set of
see-through
Fibes. With either kit, a Zildjian Breakbeat ride is mandatory.
According to Deitch, he can't noodle around when playing with
Scofield.
"It's about finding the groove right away and sitting on it as hard as
possible," Adam insists. "Maybe Scofield
sees me as a Dennis without
the chops!"
