I lent this CD to my best friend. A year later he says to me, you ever hear The Meters? I said, this is my CD. He told me it was his CD. Whatever. Smoke summorre Ganga. It's OK. Meters Rule.
IMO, The genius of the original drumming was how raw and simple it was with open spacing. no fear in letting there be a silent note. The tendency of this drummer, while technically skilled and amazing, is to over play it.
