Brutal solo. He one of my favorites. I like the fact that he always pushes himself to the limit and then reigns it back in...he's not afraid of not being perfectly clean all the time.I met him the first time at Summerfest in Milwaukee years ago. We talked drums for about 15 minutes before he finally said to me "you seem like a great guy and all, but do you know any girls here?"
You really nailed it - it is the combination of JJ's precision and melodic sensitivity and Gary's creativity and "GO FOR IT" attitude that makes them one of my all-time favorite rhythm sections.
oh, i love gary but tokyo dream needs to be played by chad... sorry but he has a lot of unique sound on this track and gary doesnt play cup chimes and china, i think its important to the drum beat
It's rather unfortunate this gig was even filmed in the first place. Jimmy, Allan and Gary all had very weird, incorrect gear they had to make work at the last minute, on this the first date of a European tour. I know for a fact Gary had to make do with sticks (not his) almost double the weight of his own as a lot of equipment didn't turn up. All this coupled with Allan's Synthaxe suffering huge gremlins on the night too. It's kind of shame. These were not great circumstances.
That Ride Cymbal Is AMAZING ! =O

Hard to watch Gary play, he seems stiff and weird technique....but he gets the job done and he's played with Holdsworth and I haven't.

I love Gary's playing but he looks stiff watching him. He is very Billy Cobhamesque. You can tell he listened to a lot of Tony and Billy.

I suggest to heard the first part of the song a few times, to be able to appreciate the solo.

Concepção interessantissima

Valeu pelo post
