Re: What separates the truly great from the merely skilled?

Anthony Jackson chose his words really well when he paid tribute to Steve Gadd at the "American Drummers Achievement Awards", he nailed it. If you have not done so already, listen to this DVD, and you'll hear a very good example of what defines a "great" drummer. http://www.amazo...

Re: What separates the truly great from the merely skilled?

Re: Snarky Puppy

Went to see Larnell play with the Mike Downes Quartet tonight.. Robi Botos - piano, Ted Quinlan - Guitar... Really, really, I mean.. REALLY good. Amazing touch... He made every surface "sing" for lack of a better term... The joy on each band member's face said it all. His ability to "...
