I see this tune "Higher Ground" is going around on this site. I think this is a pretty great example of not overplaying and just LAYING IT DOWN with some POWer and EXITEment. Gadd and Stevie Wonder live!

Wow! Kim was a monster player. Super strong too. Another great loss and way too early. RIP Kim Plainfield

That between takes vid. is a gem. To see Vinnie working out some stickings and singles leading and ending with his left hand. He looks so comfortable, like he was born with a kit around him. GOAT

WOW great angles behind Dave on the Rumble intro on this one!! Now i see why Dave had to have physical therapy on his shoulders especially on his left shoulder with all of the artillary percussion and high up cymbals he used to play on his left side with traditional grip. That's a lot of jerkiness ...

Jimmy is such a great overall player. I love watching him because he is sooo relaaaaaaaaxed. Oh... and... he sounds f@&#! pretty good too! He's been on my radar for a few years. He's one of the contemporary greats of today in my humble opinion. He works almost every night.

Nice solid groove Rodge!

Killer site. Groundbreaking in many ways by adding the playlist/index. You again have created something new and fresh and best of all, educational and FUN! All the best and I hope everyone flocks there. I will!

i believe this is 2 drummers on this cut. Steve Jordan and Erskoman.

Thanks for the heads up on the Gene Coy video. Nice tasty interaction with each soloist. Fresh ideas as well. There’s so much more to do with music and drumming. Tasty is the key word here.
