Mel Gaynor during his personal clinic at the UK Drum Show in Liverpool on October 1st.

Mel talked about his rhythms, the importance of time in his most famous grooves with Simple Minds.

Best Minds drummer by a long mile ❤

Can someone call Cherise and show her this! God knows she needs to learn from the master himself because she has no idea… miss you with the Minds Mr Gaynor!

[@rebels42wynn83]

Thank you. No disrespect to Cherise but Jim Kerr was trying to recreate the same drumming energy as Mel have brought while being in SIMPLE MINDS.

[@davidharding200]

I’m a huge Mel fan and was terribly disappointed when he left. But … your comment is harsh and unreasonable. I saw them live recently and Cherise was excellent and if anything brought an energy to them but playing just before or right on the beat.

I wait for the iconic fills and it’s like she doesn’t even know them . I think she is a very average drummer but she has a great stage presence . For me no were near good enough as a drummer though .

[@ronniewilson6597]

Jim Kerr has lost the plot. Simple Minds are just a karaoke band, he’s pissed off most of the previous band. Brian Magee, Micheal MacNeil, Derek Forbes and now Mel Gaynor, the best drummer in the world.
