Title: Who Has Faster Hands - Matt Sorum Or NBA's Jerryd Bayless?
Post by: FunkyMonkey on December 02, 2009, 10:04:31 AM
Sport Science asks, "Who has faster hands -- an NBA point guard, or legendary rock drummer?"

Bayless may be buried on the bench in Portland and not getting a chance to figure out what type of NBA player he'll be. No problem. He's being rewarded with the chance to appear on an exciting FSN program about science, where he gets to rub shoulders with former members of Guns N' Roses and, for lack of a better joke, dribble like a rock star.

Cool, but a completely ridiculous experiment. Any how, they should have gotten Neil Peart for the job.

Takes much more still to drum than dribble, I used to play bball. I played point.  And doing what that guy did is not a big deal.  The ball bounces back, just beat it back down.  Sorum was in time and playing fills and licks and all that.  The other guy just had one motion.

Matt is getting older and slower, they should have gotten a younger drummer for this.  :)

I'm assuming they would have timed the part on the snare. Not the fills.
