Cliff Almond "Improvisation/Interaction Techniques" PASIC 2012 - Part 1

[@SidLaw500]

Cliff is the kind of drummer everybody would love to have. His playing expresses a deep musical understanding, gratitude, and originality.

[@davebander9730]

Incredible drummer. Very deep pocket. Drumming is conversation here. Not just chopes. Incredible story telling.

[@SidLaw500]

I love how he tunes his drums and makes them sound. One of best at this.

[@mattlehnardt8035]

every once in a while, someone comes along who really gets it. tons of great drummers out there, each in different ways, but Cliff has the primal feel of ancient rhythms, the core spirit of drumming, all through his veins. Philly Joe Jones had that 'feel' too. I'd say the best 'drummer's drummer' in the world.

[@howtobeatadrum]

Amen

[@SS-je2ih]

Thats how you play a solo!! Very musical and he kept a theme through the performance which made it interesting.

[@sherifsalloum7462]

One of the best solos ive seen, i felt a conversation happening !

[@Bren28]

One word, Incredible, Cliff and Benny would be a good duet

[@Pearldrummerseven]

[@GuidoScocozza]

Similar to Benny Greb. Not in how he plays but in what he plays.
