Arthur Doyle + Han Bennink

What a godaweful racket

Now THATs how to make an entrance!!

Ornette Coleman says his favourite drummers play like sax players. I think Han plays that way

wowEE! thanks fer sharin!

You can't get a better entrance than throwing cymbals at the sax man.

Ah, the concept of "best" is flawed anyway. There's honestly no such thing in music - you could measure speed I suppose to quantify them, but that's still not really talking about the quality.
I love Bennink, and many many others as well, but there's something deeply wild about Bennick and his love of sounds and a-rhythm that is hard to resist.

is better

Mitch Mitchell

If I asked you to explain why, you wouldn't know to tell, anymore than why he's the "best" drummer in the world, so i'll just leave you to hear yourself talk
