thanks for your positive comments ! much appreciated. we'd only been together a couple of months when we recorded yellow and the guitarist didn't quite have the riff right yet we let it slide and we got it sorted out the next week !! daft thing to do really - we shoulda made sure we got it sorted for the recording ! cheers once again !

yeah, daylight is great to play. didn't really take too much to learn the pattern, just ages to get the real feel of it. really surprised me how long it took to feel really on it having learnt the rhythm first couple of times through. but have had it for a while now and enjoy it ten times more than i used to.

:cool: how long ya been playing ?

:cool: nice one ! many thanks !

thanks for the hellos ! and am pleased you like the site. hope you can find time to check out the mp3s on it sometime. they are old and we've had another year since then of playing together and hope to get some more recorded very soon, but we're still quite happy with the ones on the site. we just know we can do better :) anyway, we didn't write the songs, just recorded them and play 'em. we have coldplay to thank ultimately and always. long live coldplay.

it is. i totally enjoy playing coldplay's stuff. the drumming's not too taxing (although learning the songs has taught me some stuff) but the songs are just so powerful, they're a real joy to play !

Hi ! I'm new here and am a drummer in a coldplay tribute band Coldplace and thought i'd just drop into this forum and let everyone know that if anyone wants any help on drumming coldplay songs then i'll be happy to lend a hand if I can.

Hi, i'm new here and just thought i'd post here seeing as it's the thing to do. I'm wayne and am a drummer in a coldplay tribute band Coldplace. Just found this site and thought i'd join and chat with other coldplay fans. see ya soon !! *groan*

guy does write some damn good bass lines - some of them are v simple yet effective and others could stand out on there own. for me, the bass lines to clocks, yellow and the scientist, for example, fall into the first category and others, such as shiver, everything's not lost and trouble fall into the latter. being a drummer, i'm happy with either form of bass line just as long as it's played solid and has feeling to it, but i have a preference for bass lines with more complex patterns to them. and such chin-stroking ramblings lead me to my top three (in no particular order) :- daylight sparks trouble (can't believe no-ones mentioned this one yet !) with special mentions to :- shiver everything's not lost

I play in a coldplay tribute band (drummer) and have not yet got the full Will Champion set up so it'd be good to know if he's changed or added anything since rush of blood.
