GENIUS,,,,,,,

somebody said to me his style is like someone took the drums and tossed them down the stairs (in a good way)

What a unique musician. Elvin's influence is immense but, in many ways, he's an unsung hero now! He's definitely in that group of drummers a step above even many of the greats, along with the likes of Rich, Williams, Bonham, Cobham...people who changed the way things were done. There was definitely pre- and post-Elvin! A true master!

That's soul...damn Elvin something else : )

I wish the audio was a bit cleaner...there's an echo or reverb or something that makes dissecting the rhythms a bit difficult.

@paulwall1981 I believe that he is using a 18" bass. He always got a loy of sound out of it. The piece is "3 Card Molly"

I think I found some of Jojo's inspiration, sounds like some of his phrasing.
-
i think this is from the film "a different drummer".
does anybody know where to get it?

@muzical26 Exactly, Elvin is showing us something DIFFERENT. If you listen to him for a while you start to get what a true genius he was. His polyrhytmic phrasing is just pure art. He always makes me want to practice more and, of course, he always makes me jealous.
Settle down, liking one Creed song is a musical crime in itself.

I should have known, you're a Creed fan. Anyway, before you comment, why don't you form an opinon that is actually based in something. Now go watch a Creed video.
