Love Rudiments

Description

Love Rudiments is a meditation by Ty Segall on his first love: the drums. Known for being a singer-guitarist, he usually starts recording his songs with a drum track. Love Rudiments begins with drums and percussion, then adds a few other percussive and production elements. In this setup, it's a grand journey. However, Love Rudiments was not written or performed to be presented as some sort of solo drum album - it's just another music album, with vibes (both figuratively and literally), feelings, a theme, and a guiding line. And why not? The drums are also a melodic instrument. Ty plays them with precision and sensitivity, diving into the textures of timpani, vibraphone, xylophone, percussion, and e-drums, all occupying space in the luxurious stereo field of the drums.
