Truly one of the G.O.A.T..S of modern drumming! Always fantastic!

[@yarpyarp85]

I love Bill. He is a never-ending source of inspiration.

[@christianwagenseil9621]

Matt Wallace Drums absolutely very inspirational. And for me personally, when I listen to him, I feel inspired, rather than discouraged to play the drums.

[@yarpyarp85]

@@christianwagenseil9621 Totally my friend, so musical and technical at the same time. Bill is simply amazing.

I got to hang with Seamus Blake at a party one time in Vancouver Canada, in like 2003 or something. I was a student at Capilano University and he was there doing some workshops and shit and was like a God to everyone who was lucky enough to attend. I sat on a couch in the basement of this house in East Vancouver drinking beer and listening to The Seamus just blow over rhythm changes for like 35 minutes and he never played the same thing twice. Absolutely incredible musician, as is everyone in this video. Just on another level, man!! ❤

[@sticktrik]

Most identifiable player of modern jazz drumming!!!

[@raymondkarlsson9794]

Extremly present above all his unbelievable musical talent!

[@shatteredstiks7392]

I live this style of jazz even more since then. It's kinda like my childhood charlie brown music with jazz trio.

[@jimmypaxson3980]

Fierce. The most exquisite mfr on earth… Spits fire while playing so elegantly it’s just fucking ridiculous and on top of all that he’s also funky as hell. One of the most soulful mfrs of all time. I could go on…

[@marKism69]

My favorite living drummer bar none.

[@Zionist_Eternal]

Stellar. High art. And he bows not before the of the alter of the traditional grip. Oh but the way his mind works...
