If you could think of one thing that would make an already amazing DJ better, something that could enhance electronic music and take it to the next level, something that is better than the best thing anyone anywhere has ever seen....what would it be? I have the answer! Actually, Com Truise has the answer! It's a drum kit! I know you all were going to say extacy.....but you are wrong!! Drum kit bitches!
Com Truise blew my mind the other night at Mezzanine in San Francisco. He played at my SXSW Sea Now! showcase 2012, and it was just him! He was amazing then, but he didn't have a drummer with him - and me being me and not paying attention to every detail, had no idea he now has a live drummer play during shows. I remember thinking to my self, "What the fuck is going on? Why is there a drum kit on stage? Isn't Com Truse supposed to play next?" Once he they got on stage and the drums dropped for the first time during "Open" I then realized that this was going to be sick (see clip above)!
There are other electronic groups and DJ's that use a live drummer, obviously, but Com Truise with a live drummer is a whole different story! Even though I felt like I was floating through each song during the set, the drums kept my feet on the ground and dancing like a crazy! There was a drum track situation, but I didn't care and from the looks of the crowd, neither did anyone else! This was the most fun I have had since I have moved to the bay area! Com Truise = AMAZING!
He will be on tour for the rest of the month, and you can check out tour dates HERE! Seriously, get out to a show!
