IMO, anyone who can survive being in Zappa's band deserves to do whatever the fuck they want.

Terry is a talented drummer.. it just is ashame that what he is trying to accomplish is hard to grasp by alot of people... so it just comes off as being boring... I admit I get bored watching these kinds of solos also....I want to hear some groove, some head bouncing rhythm... at least some of the time.... he should mix it up more... if he wants to translate his art to a more diverse range of listeners.... although maybe hes perfectly happy appealing to a select crowd...

terry bozzio - the drummer who sounds like he´s in a drum shop trying out new gear every time he sits behind the drums...

To the haters, and the unimpressed: there's reason Bozzio got invited to solo at NAMM. Not an easy invite, btw. Music is art--there are no wrong opinions, but showing disrespect merely displays your own pettiness.

Imagine if he was placed in Africa thousands of years ago, playing like this and looking this way..... The looks he would get

@johnrussom Amen.

What Terry Bozzio does is what makes him unique, he has such a weird rhythm and talent, he plays the drums like a giant piano. I don't get why people expect when they see his set he's going to bust some huge solo, its all about him expressing himself and thats what he can do on that beast

It must be over my head...he just doesn't float my boat

@fingazfunk imagine how long it takes to set up

@AlexNiedt Ahh really? Then i must be wrong. My bad xD
A hard lesson I was FORCED to learn is that playing to empress my peers is fastest way to be ignored. This solo made me want to dance in my chair. He captivated them all never broke a sweat. I think we musicians forget that ultimately, what we do is not a contest. Its an art and that solo was so expressive! As a guitarist I feel for drummers because we depend on them to be perfect in so many ways. Terry does that and dances across the top and paints a picture. Very impressive 2 the right people.
