Many years ago Jon Hiseman used to get some criticism for being too technical & having 'no feel'. I always thought it was total nonsense - especially after seeing him play live dozens of times with jazz outfits. I think it was a reaction to the fact that he had so much technique - he was about 30 years ahead of his time. Today many drummers have amazing dexterity, co-ordination & speed, it is expected. JH was doing all this back in the 1960s & I think it frightened the heck out of some people!

I saw him with Colosseum I in 1970, and was very very impressed. I loved Baker and Mitchell, but Hiseman was cleaner than either, with just as much feel. His solos were so complex, but looked so effortless. That he can still do this at 66 is amazing. One of the best drummers around--period.

@SAHBfan yes, I think just the opposite- he has both a great feel and an amazing tecnique. One of my def favourites.

Very well put.

I reckon he has a very unique style and tone. He's yet to be fully appreciated. One of Britains treasures...
