My mate from London plays with a group called Mamas Gun and he's pretty bloody fantastic! This is him having a blow over a vamp...



And this is wonderfully fluid and tasteful.

What I really liked Darren is how each drummer plays in their own ergonomic
style...what is relaxed for him is not for another, especially related to the
cross over hat stroke (arm angle, spacial relation to the hats)

This is very precise drumming and for me, the first thing I thought of
was how much a contrast his style is to say Thomas Pridgen. Not sure
why he popped into my mind. Both players offer their own musical
contributions. This drummer also reminded me of the jazz kids
playing in the "A" jazz college band...a musical director would love
this guy! Our own Kaide has this quality as well.
