When I was a kid my dad use to play this album alot. It was the only album my dad bought that I really liked as a 6 year old. Now listening to Sandy bang out those beats as an old timer really brought back some memories! Thanks!

Thanks to you I just got this album over on iTunes. It's amazing! Check out my video of "Midnight Cruise" if you get a chance.

Wow, I thought it said on Wikipedia that he had his right foot amputated after a motorcycle accident. This is fantastic!

Excellent! Love the rolls and shuffle on the lower toms, just like I always remembered your playing.

My son said he wanted to play drums. I bought him a basic setup. I told him that when he could play "Let there be drums" , I'd add to his kit. He has added a lot. He says I tricked him because its not the drums or the beat, its the drummer. I think I taught him well.

I heard this on the 50s on 5 XM radio channel today and loved it!

Drums are THE way of communication without words. Can't you hear them talking to each other?  Great post!!!
