Thot a little med week HOD boost...little gem from '78 stumbled across...love this
late 70's sound.

WOW...those are really aggressive fills for a jazz break.
Not in line with the Joe Porcaro school...lol

Agreed...first, cat is FIFTY SEVEN...that in itself is SICK...this isn't playing a soft ride pattern at a garden party type gig...this is Mount Olympus athletic drumming.
