  • RIP Alan Myers

    http://clubdevo.com/index.php?option...yers&Itemid=27

    DEVO's first drummer til 1986. Nickname The Human Metronome. I love Josh Freese's current stuff with them, but Myers' drumming on those early tracks was TIGHT.

    Sucks. Didn't he also pretty much develop the first electronic drum kit, too?
    It's not going to suck itself...

      I think that was the drummer from the Moody Blues.

        Jim Mothersbaugh was actually their drummer before Myers - before they recorded their first album. He was playing electronic drums back in '76 and quit the band to work on MIDI technology. (I had vague recollections of that from the DEVO bio that came out a few years back and had to confirm it on wikipedia).

        Anyway, sad about Alan. The dude was insanely tight.

        I was just telling my wife about watching Teletunes with my dad in the early 80's and whenever a DEVO video came on he'd laugh and say "These guys are just a bunch of nerds!"
