    The best drummer of this subcontinent. Period. The way he uses the pedals, love and respect from 🇮🇳
    Now that i know garaj baras happened in a single take without gumbi looking at rahat, its amazing to know.

    One thing which is unique to Junaid podcast is the Karachi conversation. He's a real hard-core Karachhite. And why not. We all love the city of lights.

    Gumby came to my college festival in Bangalore in India in 2008. He was touring with Ali Azmat. Off course no body knew him in India but me being a strong Noori fan knew all about him. I was also part of the security team and had access to the green room. Indian Ocean(probably the most famous Indian rock band) was also performing the same day.. I was chatting with Ali Azmat asking about his album Social Circus, trying to impress him with my knowledge of Pak pop etc. Gumby was lurking around in his usual way avoiding any limelight, just trying to do whatever his thing was. While I'm chatting with Ali, Rahul Ram from indian Ocean walks up excitedly to Ali Azmat and asks "Bro where is your drummer whats his name bumby gumby, I want to touch his feet, what a fucking amazing drummer he is" and then Rahul Ram hugged Gumby tightly. They went on to smoke up a bit (Im not sure about this smoking part) .. The good old days before 26/11 and Modi!!

    12:30 nice to see Gamby❤️ I use to work in Karachi Sheraton from 1990 to 2000 Himself play Drums with his band and when I was at my shift I always ask him to play my favorite song of that time in 1994 big mountain’s “ baby I love you “ that he always played fantastically nice.. stay blessed 🤲😍

    Happy to see him and he is so well-spoken and sound so humble. I used to think that he was a bit arrogant. This is the beauty of podcasts perception about someone can be changed with podcast.

    Gumby's drumming, my childhood hero, was the heartbeat of Noori and the Meekal Hassan Band, infusing their music with life and energy. His skillful rhythms became the soulful backbone, creating a connection that went beyond notes and beats. Listening to Gumby play was like feeling the passion and dedication he poured into every stroke. His contribution resonates not just as a drummer, but as a driving force behind the bands' musical journeys. Cheers to the human touch he added to the melodies, making them unforgettable.

    I used to be such a big Noori fan when I was a kid. That is where I discovered Gumby as the drummer. He is so right how Noori could have been the biggest band from Pakistan but they sadly never reached their potential.

    Gumby bhai .... I'm from Peshawar and a #Rubab player . I love to play in an empty room bcz whenever I'm playing in front of someone, i get the idea that they are enjoying it but they intensely feel sinful , me a sinner and the instrument a shame.
    Thank u for speaking out.

  • @umerpasha
    @umerpasha 8 місяців тому +2

    Great interview. I have great respect for Gumby because he was the first drummer people knew of. Before that, no one cared who the drummer in a band was. No one remembers Fuad Abbassi or Malcolm Goveas. Saw him live in Lahore in early 2000s with Noori. I personally know people who went there just to watch Gumby play. For me, Noori was already a reduced version of Coven so I knew this is not going to end well. Also, Ali Noor is not an easy person to be around :) he talks a LOT!

    I met Gumby last year in Melbourne during Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s concert, The entire concert hall was rooting for Rahat but I was the only one shouting loudly “Gumbyyyy” and then I met him after the show, got few photos and appreciated him. But also I was sad seeing not many people knew in the show what a legend Gumby is.

I appreciate these musicians who are making good music and keep on making music whatever the situations is. i appreciate your effort to make such a quality pod cast. keep it up.

    Absolutely fabulous episode! Loved the story about Final Cut (arguably Pak's first hard rock band) trying to get a 12 year old prodigy to join them. Spot on about the ethical deficiencies that are so prevalent among us. My fav bit was the 'Pinto sahab kahan say aa rahey hain?'. Pinto Sahab's epic response ' Jannat say'. On the basis of this episode I'd be willing to pay to watch Pinto Sahab's stand-up performance if he ever decides to do one. Thank you for the music & all the best to Pinto Sahab!🙏

    I liked Gumby's view on how artists are treated like shit in Pakistan. It's sad to know that talent like this is disrespected which further discourages them in their pursuit of success and happiness.

      When everything has become a matter of halal and haram, then it’s natural that any artist or a thinking person would be treated like shit.
