Yes. John moved to Japan where his wife YoYo was from in 2012 and enjoyed peaceful countryside life and playing in his home studio. He passed away in 2016.

The beguine is similar to the rumba; both can have a 'ta-tadala - ta ta'.. rhythm. I think the bass drum pattern on beats 1, 3 and 4 makes it a Beguine in this case.

Leicester Drum School i Can confirm, this Is not beguine at all! Beguine Come from Martinique and i am from Martiinique so you can trust me. To have the real rythm look for "fanfan biguine" for example.

Triangle Emperor Timbale Mastur - I don't think anyone claimed it was authentic. When playing in an American or European dance band you will often see 'Beguine' or 'Bolero' or other rhythm called for on the chart. The drummer is expected, on a conventional jazz drum kit, to play something that the audience can dance to, that the band can play to, that fits into a jazz swing orchestra context but which hints at the latin beats the arrangements are based on. It looks to me like this guy is doing a good job of explaining these dance band drummer's adaptions of latin rhythms.

seems like more of a buzz roll instead of an open stroke roll, so calling it a 7 stroke roll buzzed would probably be more of a correct name for it

Why not ?
