@nastymonsters2 John Bonham use to do this in early led zepp days..., remember the song "FOUR STICKS" from the album most known as "LED ZEPPELIN IV" ? ...

[nastymonsters2]

@juampadj sounded better than this too...

[lacotrim]

his kinda playing a samba... even though its not pure samba its awesome for an american... better than steve gadd

[xwinglover]

Just wow

[Phrase]

Amazing! If I was just listening to this without watching the video, I would have said there must be at least three drummers playing...

[Aceotrophix]

he's good, without a doubt, however...i must question his bass muffling...you need some, but that's too much, it is in-audible compared to the other drums.

Great show! Nice when he strikes different objects with two sticks. A flat set-up might allow more, like vibraphonists do.

i am speechless

been watching drummers for 25 years and have never seen something like this before. Guy is a creative genius...

Thanks for that video! He left this style of playing some years ago and I am not happy about it, I like it the way we see it here. :))
