im sure there are a lot of great drummers and musicians here and that all of you know what polyrythms really are. so im sure none of you will disagree that Racerdew is pretty much the only reasonable person here. im not that into Terry Bozzio but I do know about musical theory, drums and music and what he does is not polyrythms. it is improv. a plain and simple 4/4 beat with his feat and improv with his hands. nothing fancy about this video besides the overkill of toms.

I've been really into Bozzio but this solo did appeal to me. Mind you, when you have a drumset that unique it isn't different to stand out. I wouldn't imagine this guy could do much with a basic five piece, but then again I've never seen him on a small kit.

@PositivelyBored a true polyrythm is when you play any phrase lets use dotted 8ths for example. treat it as a modulation. this new grouping becomes your new pulse. keeping track of where your original quarter note falls while you solo in your new pulse. ofcourse poylyrythm can mean many rythms, but thats not truly what it is. and yes it lacked dynamics. everything was at the same volume. he diddnt take the solo anywhere it stayed stale. Ofcourse this is my opinion, but its an educated one.

That is fine, you are entitled to your opinion about preference
To me greatness is being individual and standing out from the common pigeonholes..I've always thought of Terry being one of those guys
...the definition of polyrhythm is mutliple or many rhythms. His foot ostinato is one rhythm (one, ah two, ah three, ah four, ah...etc) while his hands are playing another...I think you know where I am going...
lacked dynamics and feel: really??! lol

@PositivelyBored first of all im not hating on bozzio, but just because he WAS in a great band doesnt mean that this ^^ type of drumming is legendery. i think your looking a little too hard for greatness that i dont think is here. dont get me wrong its cool, but he isnt playing a "polyrythm" its just a simple ostinato, with simple phraseing. he always starts on the down beats, mostly all 16th note rythms, not odd groupings or crazy independence. it lacked dynamics and feel, not very exciting.

@PositivelyBored Totally agree!!!!

All of his cymbals sound like shit.

If you listen carefully to this solo you can hear many musical ideas here that most drummers can SAY they find boring but usually it's only boring because their attention span is that of a 2 week old kitten with a ball of yarn. Enjoyable polyrhythm with some interesting sounds and ideas expressed. Like Bozzios style, ideas, etc or not, the man had more credentials at 25 playing with Zappa after his schooling than most of us will have in our lifetimes playing music. Legend.
