40 minutes of Steve Smith.

First Virgil vid in a while that blew my mind.

Some of the same stuff he did in a clinic I saw in the 90s. It was insane then, and now.

Thanks for sharing.

A topic like this with mixed meters and odd weird grooves should include Rick Gratton imo. I worked through Rick's Licks, it's some wild stuff.

Someone put up his instructional vid.

Todd Sucherman is back playing Sonors.

Kenny filled in for Jason Bonham on a day's notice at the Cincy show. This is the next one. 5150 is a bit of a trainwreck. Saw this show at Pine Knob and it was tremendous, lots of fun and they sounded great. Bonham has his Dad's groove, which Alex also had quite a bit of. He fit in perfectly, he ow...

That explains a lot about that dude's playing.
