Honestly, Tony Royster Jr. is a good drummer, but I could really care less at watching him play a drum solo.

I'd rather see Aaron Spears do that type of thing them him.

I wonder if Vinnie was asked and declined...

What's there not to like, when he starts to groove a few mins in, if you keep singing the melody you can hear exactly where he is going with this. I would say performing a solo like this is far harder than somersaulting onto the drum stool, playing quads as fast as you can then standing up and play...

every time i hear him solo it occurs to me that if you just took the audio and put it under a different name it would get a very different response.

What response is that?

Pick up Double Booked by Robert Glasper... you get chris on some jazz on the trio tracks and them him going nuts on the experiment tracks. This album lived in my car for like 2 months when I first picked it up. It's fresh, unique and good and that's something that is hard to achieve.

shit, I feel low tech just cranking an amp and playing with some earplugs in.

To me, it sounds a little more pure 32nds than just alternating accent filled in with doubles. Might be some paradiddlediddles in there.

snaps, I just listen to about a minute of each... I spun this album in my ride for a while

track list:
1 AM/PM - 5:45
2 Voyager - 4:24
3 Liftoff - 5:16
4 Heartland - 3:54
5 Time Warp - 8:11
6 Pastorale - 4:14

It's a pretty hard to find album... I have a complete copy if anyone wants to listen.
