Hey Tommy. I don't know how many times i have watch this clip but i just love it. This is the level i want to be. I have been a drummer for over 50 years but you still inspire me. Well done.
lol...Yeah, just every single jazz drummer graduating from college and any drummer that's half way decent...He's a very good drummer, uber human? Um, no....Drummer for 45 years...There's about a thousand drummers that could eat his lunch...
Everything about Tommy's drumming is simply mindblowing. His grooves and chops are performed with such natural flow and ease. In my book he's one of a kind, a master musician, a supreme rhythm guru. Thank you for entertaining us mortals with your god like playing! I noticed that 17 morons made the effort to give this clip thumbs down. Erh...???!!! Well, you just gave "out to lunch" a whole new meaning...
This performance is absolutely amazing. He’s working right in the groove and making it look effortless. The thing that strikes me in watching him here is just how relaxed he is.
And still all the people will say Buddy Rich is the best! Yes, he was at his times, but drummers like Tommy are a totally different level. Buddy will always be a legend, but what drummers like Tommy, Dave or Vinnie and many others play today is a just another Level. And this is normal, because people improve...
