  • @drumrnva he plays with really low wrists relative to his hands, which means he doesn't have to bend his back, its a real relaxed way of playing but if you like your snare flat then you get sooooo many rimshots and that breaks your sticks after a while. its real good if you like just grooving on hihat and snare cos its gives your left hand a lot of room and puts it at perfect angle for drags :)

  • he is not Bruford. 

  • @iFoRgOtMyPsSwRd Did someone write sth?? Fuck for a moment i thought i saw a comment but it was just mu imagination... Anyway...

    PS. Dude your comment DISAPPEARED from the minute you wrote it. Get a fuckin life and stop hatin on real legends. Its easy to say for me too that Freddie Mercury couldn't sing for shit. Isn't it?

  • One of Zappa's best drummers.

  • One word BEAST!

  • Without a doubt Chester Thompson is one of the best drummers in the world!

  • Wow when i grow up i want to be like him :D i'm 15
