I've been using Zoro signature sticks for years. PLEASE never stop making them!!!

Exceptional talent as well as an exceptional person!

Just more proof as if Buddy Rich was not enough that you do not need a huge 15 piece kit to perform an outstanding drum solo.

[@penisbreath952]

a little sloppy but very good! huge emphasis on feel

[@MrLaruman]

penisbreath952 that was not sloppy, when he sounded "sloppy", he played behind the beat, because he wanted it to Sound sloppy. That is a huge difference, it requires enormous practice to make it Sound so good like he did.

[@penisbreath952]

oh really? the behind the beat playing i know if is mostly either incorporated subtly in grooves, or a bit more prominent such as j dilla's beats, or how richard spaven and chris dave drum. could you send me some other examples of what you're talking about?

[@prodigydrummer]

He is drumming in time throughout the whole segment.

[@penisbreath952]

eeeh i don't feel that way. I think he is trying to do some displacements and metric modulation, but it seems like he loses track of the 1. he still stays "on beat", but he fumbles a bit.

[@GamingDrummer89]

@@penisbreath952 I noticed a bit of dragging as well during the parts when others are playing, but I didn't hear anything beyond the normal quirks of human playing during the section where it was just him soloing. The dragging is also pretty consistent and more gives the music a feel of dragging rather than disrupting the groove entirely, which makes me think he's trying to lay behind the other people on purpose.

[@bluelinestudio5404]

Not really a solo if there's two of them.

[@craigwilliams501]

yeah cause nobody ever solos over an accompaniment provided by other musicians
