Title: SEGUIN AND OTHER CURRENT DRUMMERS
Post by: shamala on February 24, 2014, 17:35
from this forum a lot of people complain that Seguin is not a good drum mist.I don't know a lot about drums but I don't see any difference between him and others..I have even listen to Blaise Sabex play nothing...is it that others beat the drums harder or what ?  Kakol plays well to solo dancing ie following the dancers moves...is that it ?
Educate me.

yeah i think  you summed it up, those who think seguin is not a good drummer think so because he does not  always/often play with the agressive style of the likes of kakol,cambodge,aaron machin of blaise bula's group and co
so for some it's also associated  to the way he is physically,but like i have always said his problem in my point of view is that he nears his best only when its important concerts,when you know he is playing at stade des martyrs or grand hotel or fikin por example,its almost certain that he will be motivated and give his best,and its even better when playing in europe

Shamala, if you ask people like archos on this matter, you are 100% going to be missled. No way have I seen segiun play better since zennith 99. He is not siutable for wenge style of play. Titina is bebeto , period.  The guy has to go. If you are good you play the same whether you are playing for a presidential function or a funeral. Segiun mignon is not audible and he has a margin of error when trying to lead a sebene. Look at titina, kakol, that guy that plays for fally, meri Jo, champion esthetic etc, those are good. Bebeto, with more airplay, is far better than fat boy mignon and I wonder whether jb needs medicine to clear his ear drum.

 If he is not suitable to wenge style of play,how come wenge recruited him? and how come titina accepted him as his understudy?
I keep saying that i do not blindly defend seguin,i would not do it with any congolese musician,i respect your point of view but i think you are too radical,i find that strange to say that a guy who was became the second drummer of wenge 4X4 does not suit wenge,so werra makaba and co all made the same mistake?talking about bebeto if he was that special do you think he'd accept understudy role  for the 12th year now whereas there are plenty of groups where he could have been number 1,or would not he have been stolen by other leaders?
unlike you i am able to say good and bad points about seguin whereas for you its radical he is bad he has no talent he has to go and i believe if he was that bad fans would be calling for his head long ago,like it would happen in any group of bcbg's standard(maison mere,latino and co),there is nothing easier for congolese music fans to boo a musician they do not consider good enough and force him out                                         
on a funny note,dont take it personal,you are acting a bit like combattants no is no and no matter what looooool

I believe you're carrying a baggage. Music cannot seem to hurt you this much! you should not be hurt so much for something that you don't have control over.JB owns BCBG and he still appreciate Seguin. Look at that video of JB visiting Kester's mother and you see who is next to JB not even Kibens not JDL but Seguin himself. So that is clear indication that the man is cherished there, just  be tolerant or else you gona have stress for no reason.

Seguin is more of a finesse drummer, Emo seems to like power drummers but like Archos says,its up to the band leader.
Title: Re: SEGUIN AND OTHER CURRENT DRUMMISTS
Post by: EMOVICTEAM on February 25, 2014, 18:48
Kaisari, yes I like power in doing the drum and I like one who uses all pieces like titina......that guy will remain my best followed by kakol and probably awilos style. Segiun is soft and he is just cold, no life in him. I don't like him. JB has killed bcbg because of friendship....

Very interesting debate. I have been busy the last few days but I want to create a diagram to show the structure of the Wenge BCBG I would like to see but in brief, Archos has explained very well but on the other hand, EMO has one point, Seguin's style of playing is not standard like the likes of Kakol and others, he changes quite often and mostly plays the snare drum with a lot of weakness, I don't like his weak style,i prefer the power snare but still utilizing the other bits of the drum kit just like he did on Quel est ton problem and on Celeo's first generiques.
I had an interesting talk with my musician friend Renato Mundele and my friend Bencuri our co-admin here, Renato seems to share the same thought as EMO, he hates Seguin's weakness and also think Sunda Bass's style of playing is boring too.

To be honest, BCBG seems to have a weak team but it's amazing what they produce, they are like Manchester United football club, too many boring players but yet having a couple of interesting individuals showing massive talent but under utilised by the manager.

Cristiano Ronaldo,David Beckham, Wayne Rooney, Berbatov, Nani just to name a few are/were boring?

We are still talking about music so don't deviate, it was just a comparison I made to the current Manchester United team which failing to impress yet they have good players but they are failing to shine, am a Manchester United fan.

Seguin Mignon,Rio, JDL and Kibens are like Ryan Giggs, Rio Ferdinand,Vidic, and Michael Carrick, they are good but can do better and are sometimes a liability to the team due to them causing unnecessary errors, fouls and earning cards and getting injuries which affect overall team performance.

SLY and jdog you gave me an idea lol why not creating a sport/football section on the forum,i am sure there are many fans here,could be fun to discuss about champions league and so on
back on titina,he is my favourite drummer,very complete,and even the inseparable friends seguin and kakol have massive admiration for him
i once saw all three in a pub in paris,seguin and kakol were like kids in front of him,listening almost hypnotically to every of his advice and all he talked about

Archos we do have a section like that it's the general section of the forum in the middle of World Music and support and I wouldn't be surprised to see Seguin, kakol all drummers in general admire at the great Titinia Alcapone.

The various styles used by the top drummers have been clearly stated above so now it's time to say who is best, it's Titina from clan Wenge and Ramatoulaye from Clan Extra Musica,these two are proper machines on the drums!!!!!!!!!
Title: Re: SEGUIN AND OTHER CURRENT DRUMMERS
Post by: NEWSIDE96 on February 28, 2014, 14:42
WOOOO, i have to respect your view but for sure Titina is the best drummer from the Wenge clan but not all time in my opinion my list on top drummers and Why?


1) Djudjuchet "Le Rhythme" Mc Gyver: 1970s - present: his discography credits just explains and he plays all sorts of styles looking at the groups he has played in Zaiko Wawa, Victoria Eleison, Choc Stars, short time with El-Paris, participated with Quartier Latin Academia: Sanction, Solola Bien, Kibuisa of Maison mere and Werrason, droit chemin and many more. Interestingly he is one of Titina's inspirations as a drummer.

Note listen to: Ata Mpiaka (Victoria Eleison), Fidelite Sans-unique (Wenge El-Paris), Faux Patron (Quartier Latin Academia), Cresois (Wenge Musica Maison Mere)

The rest with massive respect: Otis Koyongonda (R.I.P), Seskain Molenga, Belobi Meridjo, Titina Al Capone Grand Pretre, Komba Bellow,
Papy Kakol, Richacha, Champion Djikapela, Kaps Kapangala and Ile de Cambodge.

Titina is bebeto , period.Bebeto, with more airplay, is far better than fat boy mignon
thank you for your views on the above thread..Emo I plan to post a video where Bebeto interacts well with Cellulaire (who you don't like)and seek your counsel if that is what you like for BBCBG...

I also intend to post a video of the third BCBG drummist whom I used to refer as be be to as bebeto (someone clear the air as for me the second drummist is Blaise Sabe and the third is bebeto) who I think is even more aggressive the the two who rank above him...

Post by: SLY PAPA NA KEVIN on March 11, 2014, 11:23
These two last videos also show you just how lazy Cellulaire and the other atalukus have been, you see how Genta Lissimo just leaves them to do their thing all day, he just comes on stage when JB Mpiana is about to come on, that's when he takes over and they become chorus atalukus.
