My Goodness, What a Drum Solo....

[PeterG]

The guy has very very good stick control. I tend to get annoyed when people 'flash it all up' with unnecessary stick twirling. Also not a fan of the double Bass... it used way too much to create a rumble underneath the stickwork. Mostly just distracting.

The guy has the potential to be better than Peart or Portnoy... just not yet. It is one thing to "have the chops" and another to know what to do with them. His solo seemed to meander around without structure.

I really enjoy watching a good drummer, thanks for posting the link.

Makes me miss the 'old' drumming days.

It's really difficult to rate musicians against one another. With percussionists, it's does the musician fit the music. Bruford may be my favorite drummer but with Yes he really adds little White can't.

Some that may not be technically in the jaw dropping league that I enjoy are Rayford Griffin from Ponty's band, Koen Roozen from Flamborough Head, and Barriemore Barlow from Tull. Like frampton, they know when to hit the right notes...

Is such a thing necessary in any situation

Technically you could probably rank instrument players but rating musicians is another story...

Happy new year!
