Was in high school with Rich. Great guy. Amazing, dedicated musician.

Forearms of steel, hands of lightning...and a great guy, to boot!! Way to go, Rich!!

A true competitor! Rich was always nice to us Flordia Wave cats when he was in Suncaost Sound in 1987, then was the catalyst of arguably the balls-iest snareline to ever march dci imo STAR 89!

Beautiful hands

Just fluid makes it look effortless!

Why have I never seen this one? I think 89-92 are the only years i have not seen I&E vids from.

[@stacypark1077]

Always wanted to see the entire solo and not just the short clip.

Not so long ago.... in a land not so far away..... DCI drummers actually played notes instead of just spinning their sticks.
