Stanton Moore

Стэнтон Мур наиболее знаменит как ударник замечательных групп Galactic и Garage a Trois. Не ограничиваясь этими, в первую очередь, джазовыми и фанковыми проектами, с 2009 года он также играет в составе рэпкор-супергруппы Street Sweeper Social Club вместе с Томом Морелло (Rage Against The Machine) и известным рэпером Бутсом Райли (Coup), а в 2005 году участвовал в записи альбома "In The Arms of God" металлической команды Corrosion of Conformity.
Где бы ни играл этот талантливейший барабанщик, слышны его корни - он родился в Луизиане и с самого рождения впитал атмосферу тех мест. Впоследствии он переехал в Новый Орлеан и его стиль игры воплотил в себе большую часть местных традиций и, вкупе с невероятной музыкальной фантазией, представляет собой поистине интереснейший сплав классического джаза, фанка, латино и сонма других жанров . Журнал Modern Drummer охарактеризовал этот сплав стилей (а если быть более точным - третий альбом Стэнтона) как "джаз и Бонэм в одном лице", а один музыкальный критик назвал его "самым черным из всех белых ударников" и это несомненная правда. Шикарная смесь из завораживающего грува, вкусного бэк-бита и интересных сбивок не сможет оставить равнодушным ни профессионального музыканта, ни просто любителя хорошей музыки.

At the 2009 Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim, California Stanton Moore introduced a signature model snare drum under his own brand, The Stanton Moore Drum company of New Orleans. The drum is 4.5" x 14" made of titanium. Stanton worked closely with drum designer Ronn Dunnett (Dunnett Classic Drums) to create a drum that embodied the sound of a classic vintage snare drum that Stanton had once owned.
