2025 Chatty!!!

[Steve Holmes]

Been following Xavier for a while - this recent footage of him with this band is interesting. I could do without the singer but the rhythm section is super tight and he's doing some pretty interesting (and difficult) things on the toms with his right hand while his left keeps hammering away on the hat in those high energy grooves. His older videos are bananas - just him at home playing at a AAA level. I like him.

Happy Birthday, Steve!
