Annotation for Flyin' Traps
- From Alternative Press Online: Years ago, the only time fans
went to the rest room at a rock concert was during the drum solo. Now
Hollywood Records has announced its plans to release Flyin' Traps, a
collection of songs highlighting 17 modern-rock drummers. "I'm a big
fan of the drum records that Sandy Nelson and Hal Blaine made during
the '50s and '60s," says Redd Kross drummer Brian Reitzell, who
developed the project. "[This record] is actually about songs, but
with a spotlight on the drums." Flyin' Traps features diverse
performances from folks such as Chris Vrenna (Nine Inch Nails),
Stephen Perkins (Jane's Addiction), TIM ALEXANDER (PRIMUS, LAUNDRY)
and Dale Crover (Melvins), as well as former Soundgarden skinsman Matt
Cameron teaming up with Taz Bentley (Tenderloin, the Rev. Horton Heat)
on "Theme From Wrong Holy-O." In addition, Mudhoney's drink 'n' drum
expert Dan Peters delivers a way-cool version of the Kinks' "Do You
Remember Walter?" The album is set for release Sept. 23, 1997.
