Buddy, Baker, and Bonham were not playing anything like this genre of music. To me, there are three levels, Beginner, Intermediate, and Pro. Tyshawn is a pro level drummer. He can be comparable to any other pro. He plays free avant jazz better than Buddy, Baker, or Bonham, cause they never played it. Remember, just cause your in a famous band, doesn't mean your the greatest that ever lived. It's all just opinion after a certain level is achieved.

@vcooperpa Well, I started playing drums when I was 10 years old, 50 years ago, and I can tell you that you need to see way more drummers. Don't get me wrong, Tyshawn is very talented, but cannot begin to match the work of Buddy Rich, Ginger Baker, John Bonham, Gene Krupa and dozens of others through the years. Keep studying and listening!

@thedrummer7520 ...probably you can't either.  quite a backhanded comment, there.
