Saw this solo live in 1995 at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. Video just does not do Sonny Emery justice. The greatest drum solo I've ever seen or heard. The current drummer had big shoes to fill once Sonny left the group.
@reginaldessley Definitely. I don't think EWF have been the same since he left, I saw them a few years ago and it was quite surprising how much felt missing from Sonny not being there.
@beanabadger I agree on that fact I haven't really listened to EWF since he and Gorden Campbell left....The conviction just isn't...gahh I can't really explain it. It just doesn't feel right.
Nice solo! Not just the usual heavy chops routine. Showing a lot of different styles and feels. Uses the whole set and many different parts of his techniques. A great example of going his own way! And what a band to surround his solo with!!! E,W & Fire!!!! Man!!! What could be bad???????? ;-)
@DrumTchr .....yeah ...I.ve been ambushed by them.... They can't help themselves....they only can live in ...."The Great White North" amongst the Snowy White Owl's..lol....such faithful Barbarians !
Tasty tasty tasty. not the fastest or flashiest but fabulous musicality (well tuned drums and great use of them!). And he never leaves the ground or needs a harness!
Ohhhhh f u c k. Amazing

That's the kind of playing that makes us realize how much practice and playing has to be done. What a 'PRO' and what Inspiration!
Always a good spot when you have a such a TOP professional band like EW&F to feature the drum compositions.

If you asked Neal Pert what is it like to be the fastest drummer on Earth..Neal would say...i don't know...why don't you ask Sonny Emory !

@flythatbyme Be careful... the Peart groupies will hang you from the highest tree.
Sadly, those groupies never could recognize TRULY great drumming.
But don't get me started...... LOL
