Does anyone have the clip of Bruford demonstrating the Simmons electronic drums on the TV show Rock School? It must be from about 88 or 89. He demonstrates how he can trigger chords and melodic sequences. He also demonstrates how he can route any sound to any pad by routing the bass drum sound to his snare drum pad, "Suddenly you can play 7 stroke rolls with your bass drum! Forget about that double bass drum technique!".

I've always loved Bruford's Earthworks especially the first 2 albums, and you're correct about missing Bates's hornwork; what a unique sound and horn to be using in jazz/fusion/whatever you call Earthworks. The instrumental interplay between Bates and Ballamy was simply incredible.

Boy, am I glad to see this posted? I've seen this band many times, usually at small venues, and it is always thrilling. What amazing talents. Unfortunately, I feel Django's horn work was an integral part of Earthworks' sound. Until Papito's post, I'd never heard the term "Peck horn", only the very technical "E-flat Tenor Horn", but whatever you call it, Django could play the hell out of it and more recent Earthworks line-ups suffer for the lack of Django and his horn.

The band is with Django Bates, Iain Ballamy (sax), Tim Harries (bass). Bill was going through his electronic phase.

Django Bates on Peck horn for the win! who's on sax, is that Iain Ballamy?
