For sure, that album did deserve a Grammy for album of the year, or at least for best engineering. It is an extraordinary recording, maybe the best from Gino Vannelli so far. The feat it got was Best Vocal Performance for "I just wanna stop", but it lost to... "Copacabana" by Barry Manilow 😒 just incredible.

As a Sound Engineer I was the one setting thje drums for recording. That stomp sound without resonance was my trademark. Kick drum had a 25 pounds iron weight on top on sound blankets resting on the drum itself! It sounded like you were hitting it with a hammer! Gino's Drummer is one of the best I have heard, Solid! Not missing a single beat!

The musicianship on Brother to Brother and various other Gino albums/tunes continues to blow my mind with every listen. I've been listening to for over 40 years and still sounds just as fresh as ever. I'm certain I'm not alone in this sentiment. Simply put, Gino and crew were/are some bad ass musicians!

"A" in Craney is short sound BTW. I was in high school with him. When he became diabetic his dad, a leftie, bought him a drum kit and set them up backwards. It really made for some unusual rhythm patterns but when Cream came out with Wheels of Fire, he begged a second bass drum. He started doing stuff that I don't think anyone had thought of before. He'd be on stage with a local band called Rushmore and we'd hear this amazing firecracker stuff between his four extremities that was twice as fast and complex as he appeared to be moving. We'd gasp an and exclaim "How did. he do that?!" He was eighteen at the time.

Either way, we lost one of the most spectacularly talented drummers of all time imo. By all accounts he was a fantastic person, a truly kind and good man. I feel cheated when I think of what he could have created had he been here longer and how much we all could've enjoyed it. A rare, down to earth human being and a one of a kind, other worldly drummer and musician, he is very missed. Trying to make that connection, Mark! Rock on!

Certainly I am not a drum player; I just admire Gino Vannelli and, automatically, admire anyone who likes Gino's music 🙂 . He is The Master of Music. And yes, Mark Craney (RIP) was a superb drummer. Gino always has selected his drummers very carefully, he being originally a drum player. In his early albums he had Graham Lear, who is also a proficient drummer. Congratulations for your channel and for this video!! 👋👋👋

Might as well chime in. Gino, Joe, Mark etc. played my high school St. Pius X on Papineau street Montreal. Nicest band members you"d want to meet. Super pro and super serious musicians. They made everything look so sync. They practiced day and night. You could hear them practice on St. Michael street day in day out. There were so many styles of music in Montreal at that time. Frank Marino (Hendrix copy), Zep, Tull, and so many more. Montreal attracts many musicians from all over the world. It's a melting pot for fusion, jazz, rock, folk. Ciao.

Mark Craney was a monster on the drums. He did one album and tour with Jethro Tull (the album 'A' and their tour for that album), and he absolutely killed it! My favorite Tull drummer for sure. It's a shame that they didn't continue with him, but that may have been due to health problems he had. But for that one album and tour he really showed how great he was! His work with Gino Vanelli was outstanding as well.

I wish I was good enough to play Brother to Brother, Way out of my league. Gino has always had amazing drummers in his band, going back to his original drummer the amazing Gram Lear., he was so fast it almost sounded like a wav file when he would go around the set, hard to explain. If you have not seen Gino's newer live version I think in Vegas of B to B, Check it out. Awesome new arrangement, The drummer kills it with mix of Jazz & fusion I guess would be the right term.

Mark Craney, a master gone waaay too soon. Life has its crazy ways sometimes. He also played with Jean-Luc Ponty and Jethro Tull but what he provided on Brother To Brother is from outer space. Check out Enzo Todesco's take, he played wth Gino in the early 90's (Live in Montreal). Sadly he passed away too at a young age...

Regarding the tightness of the drum and cymbal sounds: I read at the time that for the recording Craney used 20" bass drums with 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 toms - very punchy sizings. He also played Paiste cymbals, which were of B8 bronze. This alloy lacks the tin quantity (only 8%) found in typical Zildjian and Sabian cymbals, which are B20 bronze (20% tin, 80% copper). Not only does this make them less durable, it makes them less musical and limits the sustain, thus 'tightening' the tonal spectrum. Also, Craney - whose playing I love - had a concept that was quite tight, something he possibly got from playing with Jean Luc Ponty prior to Vannelli. And Vannelli, himself a drummer (and multi-talent) has always had a very definite vision of how he wants everything to sound. I have friends who played in his band in the 90s. They said it was a phenomenal gig, though Gino was constantly changing and rearranging tunes, sometimes on a daily basis when touring. Vinnie Colaiuta came after Craney and did the 'Nightwalker' album. He said it was the toughest audition he'd ever done. Thank you for the breakdown. But also for the play-through at the end. I have a book of notation for the album (by someone in France). Your video will help me better understand the notation.

Gino was a drummer and demanded the very finest drummers in his organization. Mark was possibly the best of all of his drummers.

Wait what Craney was right handed? Imo if he hadn’t been born with health problems and had lived he might have been the scariest dude alive. I can switch around and play left handed verse right which I am but man this level playing backward basically is mind blowing! He just went up even further on the amazing scale!

Good Stuff, I do believe it had been pronounced Mark Craney as in uhh, CRAN- EE, not CRANE-EE, I have learned this year as I pull together a tribute to Mark, part of a November 2023 Int'l Drum month here in Austin, Texas..

Hey Jared, Nice job! Btw, in case you are interested I believe Mark's last name, Craney is pronounced Cranny as in it rhymes with "nanny".

It’s a brand called heartbeat. They are based out of Canada. For being more affordable symbols they are still really good quality. Just Google Heartbeat Percussion and you can find them.

Well Gino alway had some great players with him , but Mark is one of my favorite drummers o f all time. I think he fit Gino's sound the best for that time. Gino, being a dru mmer his self understood drums, so he used the crap out of his drummers.

Wrong mark was never right handed. He was left handed all the way. I took lessons from him. Not open handed

Did Craney use toms without bottom heads or did he muffle the toms?
