So sad to lose this righteous drummer at just 57. Damn tough loss. We're gonna need one helluva second line for this great man.

Thank you so much for this 🙏🏼

Drives me crazy that all these drum channels get tons of views and yet this guy gets hardly any and hes better than 3/4 of the stuff on KZbin. When Stanton Moore calls you one of the best and cite you as 1 of his influences... your top notch!!!
