Robert Brian - The drumming on the 'The Pleasure Principle' by Gary Numan.

This record was one of my first albums and a real inspiration to me both drumming wise and musically. The music is so powerful and the drumming by Cedric Sharpley sounds fresh, dynamic and drives these dystopian songs beautifully. This video is about Cedric's fine playing and a breakdown of his influence on me and countless other drummers around the world.

R.I.P. Cedric Sharpley 🌹 Great video, Robert! He was an incredible drummer, and with the unheralded Paul Gardiner R.I.P. 🌹they created a sensational rhythm section..🌬🤍🤍🤍

“Metal”’s always been my fave Numan song and again, the rhythm section’s relentless pounding really helps MAKE it an iconic song 🙏🏼

A conversation with Jess Lidyard would be outstanding. I don't know if anyone's really talked to him about his time with Gary. Thanks!

I heard an interview with Ced where he said he did several very different drum takes per song, and only found out which one had been selected when it was all finished. So the drum tracks we all know and love were not the only versions Ced did. It would be interesting to hear all the other versions.

Love This Record!

Me too my man!

5:19 that's the same kit he had in Druid (search KZbin Druid OGWT 7th October 1975). Ced was a legend and I still channel aspects of his remarkable 'feel' to this day. Oh oops, I just played the next bit of your vid and you've covered it!
