I’ve met Rikki a number of times over the years on Southern California Norton Club (motorcycle) rides. As a fellow drummer we never talked about drums, we only talked about British motorcycles. He’s such a humble and friendly guy. I’ve never seen this video but I really enjoyed it. Cheers to Rikki.
Don’t know if you know but Rikki has his own custom drum company, Rockett Drum Works, if I remember correctly. When he’s not touring he’s usually building drums lol .. I think his cymbals come from some guy in Turkey, they’re handmade too.
Chod, as a guitarist, I can't differentiate between a good drum solo and a great one. But there is one solo that blew my mind. Steve Vai has a concert DVD...live from the Astoria. He lets his drummer, don't know his name, do a solo...just wow.
Chod you know im going to stay on you Brother till you do these two songs Lee Michaels Heighty Hi and Tim Buckley Sweet Surrender great great song's thanks
