i am a guitar player, and when one of your biggest influences is a drummer, you know there is just something about him that is so unique and powerful; listening to elvin and using him as a tool to help you grow

@SMWhit3out you can go back to your heavy metal videos now, thanks.

as a jazz guy he's just got such a big sound - he just whacks the shit out of that yellow kit
There are so many 'Elvin-isms' in Elvins drum solos, especially with the phrasing of the poly-rhythms, yet somehow each performance is extremely unique.
Elvin once said that his solos were constructed of verses and choruses much like a tune or song is constructed. Elvin was a true artistic genius.
The sign of a true artist is to pour your heart into your instrument, and that's what Elvin did and that's why he is my drum hero.
