Proof positive that they were the greatest live band. EVER. A truly smoking 36 minute “Dazed & Confused” from Seattle, 17th July 1973. That rhythm section!

Not the usual type of clip, but hey, this young chap is seriously good. His new album, The Journey, is my album of the year so far - available on Bandcamp.
This chap is hilarious. And also seems to be a rather exceptional drummer. Worth checking out his other stuff.

I’ve watched a few of his videos. Yep, he’s some drummer, and can be fun in short bursts
…but I wonder what he’s like within an actual song? Fastest bass drums, check, flash one-sticking snare, check - but what about feel and supporting the tune/song?
Can’t remember if he plays for a band.

He did a piece about that.
TL:DR he doesn’t play for a band, he just likes to drum
Brilliant ! Thanks for posting. I think I might have seen it about 40 years ago but never since.

Did you like the way I left the score in there for the benefit of those who don’t trust their ears and insist on scientific proof 
Thanks for introducing me to a new band – sounds worth exploring more…
That one is probably not to everyone’s taste, but the music output is quite varied depending on the collaborators for various projects, see some of the posts here:
1135 posts I lose track so we may have seen before but Steve Gadd on here, more like a metronome than a human drummer!

I can only agree, IMHO one of the best drummers.
