  • This is weak. Or, rather, mislabeled."Superb Drum Solo" I could agree with on a technical level. Yes, I play the drums. No, I am not as skilled as this guy. But, I have a heart, and am from Nigeria. Mabye he was trying to blend styles [which I respect]. My feet and my emotions were unmoved. Just somewhat let down because all the simple emotive beauty and flavour of the genre seem to be missing. [Even when a performer puts on a virtuoso display there should be apropriate FEELING]

  • @nerdswerth word i love the way you put it . me myself i believe i'm way better than this guy & yes i'm Nigerian . "my feet & my emotions were unmoved" mine also . perfect description.

    x?y' .

  • mediocre 

  • @nerdswerth you can only judge feeling if your there in person.. hence the word "feeling"

  • @nerdswerth maybe if you were there in person you would get the appropriate feeling. watching a youtube video of any musician does not compare to being there in the moment. ive seen many amazing live performances, and then went back and watched the exact performance i attended on here on youtube, and it does not compare in the least bit, none what so ever. i find it funny how people ALWAYS say on youtube theres no feeling. but they are watching the video on a little monitor with stereo sound

  • Nice one..agba man

  • Nice One, Baba Feyisara!

    I have really missed thee.. i've just seen your band performace (previous page) and i only recongnize Bro Toyin.. where's Michael and Baba Aro?

    ..anyway, Keep up the good works sir.. Amen?!

  • i agree this is kind of self indulgent. dudes obviously though.

  • hahaha

    its gets better from 1:11 onward

    still``not quite my cup of tea

    however, as a musician myself I'll concede its unfair to judge his expression just because I was expecting something else..especially without hearing this 2minutes in the context of the whole song / & whole show for that matter

    didn't wanna send out negative vibes``nothing but love

  • @ Nerdswerth; I was actuali misled by ur comment but after watchin the whole video...u need 2 SHUT UP!!
