I really enjoy Andreas' music...but I have to say, this attractive lady does not add anything of value to the music. I would rather listen to the real percussionist doing his thing.
Yeah, I have been listening to Andreas for 30 years and have heard most of his live lineups, and was really disappointed that Walter was out of this one...She's good at what she does but it detracts from the otherwise amazing performance in my opinion as well. Not for everyone, I guess, eh? :)
I think Walter is a greatly under rated drummer. One thing that I always key in on is his playing. He's just kicking back and gets into his space. His timing is incredible not least, his technique. We watched this concert again last night and I still feel the same way about her contribution.
