Depends on the criteria of "horrible." If all good jazz drummers sound alike, then Ginger is a complete failure! To me, being different is a critical element of modern jazz drumming, and Ginger definitely has a signature sound about him . . . like a militaristic swing. Love it!

All the negative comments about Ginger's drumming are kinda lame and annoying IMO ... I doubt that many of negative posters play an instrument that well ... seems they're blinded by their jazz snobbery. Ginger is an original with a style all his own and I'm sure it was an honor for Bill and Charlie to share some sound space with this man. Yeah, a typical jazz drummer may have sounded "better" to these folks, but they're stuck in their narrow and generic view of what jazz really is. It's sad.

NIce audio and camerawork on a good tune. Works for me. Thank you so much. I love the big grin and smile on Ginger's face, which is unusual! He love's Charlie's bass solo, and the band really jelled, in one tight package,

I think some of you miss the point, there some excellent moments in his playing he has a rock style & it shows in his overplaying, but if you listen to Elvin he overplays to hell & some of it is crap but there are brilliant moments in his playing & thats music is about we play in the moment & how we feel.

Oh yes In my book the GREATEST Jazz drummer Britain ever produced was Phil Seaman was ahead of his time & most USA musicians who came over knew that & booked him as a their man.

@MrDrumsPhilAmbros Ginger isn't a rock drummer, Phil. He is one of the best jazz drummers Great Britain has ever produced. He certainly smokes you.
