HAN BENNINK IS A TESTAMENT TO THE POTENTIAL OF ALL HUMANITY

[DYNODRUM]

Han is demonstsrating free ,all the facets of true Drumming & related aspects:He takes pure improv. and forms,honed into spontaniety & cohesive ability, in his own style and never loses any concept. Far cry from alot of stuff I've seen lately . Most of the Drum videos are a waste IMO. and this dude Transcends .He's over 65, not that means aything , He, is a Great Jazz Drummer and can get more sounds out of a Snare w./ brushes Than any .

@westcoastrecreation Taling about hitting the nail right on the head!!

To me his spirit is that of an 18 year old and believe me he has a sense of humor to match!! (funny Marije is in it too, know her as well, from the days she wasn't so good and practicing all the time turning me nuts!)
