Thank you Jeremy. Vernel is one of my heroes.

Ha! This is great. thank you! I can't tell you how relieved I was when I found out he was doing the cymbal with his hand, and not splashing the hi hat, which is so hard to make sound so consistent! I am surprised that more drummers did not emulate this style, or build upon this Marching band approach. This would make great accompaniment over lots of music and good grist for variation improvisation.

Great playing and information!

Great stuff. A band I play with began doing Tony William's "Sister Cheryl" last summer. His basic groove on that is a direct homage to Fournier's Poinciana. I also love Jeff Hamilton's take on his version. Nothing feels better than a swampy N'awlins groove.
