Singing and drumming...I think every drummer needs to understand it.
Jim Keltner's groove is so similar...big and rounch, moves like mud...

He had that easy way, prolly not for him, of changing grooves so nicely...that's what I first got from his playing. He could glide from half time to 4/4 and the other way around so fluidly, I couldn't figure it out...

He picks up the turnarounds so well...wow.
I learned so much from him.

Very sad to lose Levon. Sad to see all the giants go. Cancer is unfair.

RIP Levon. I gotta say I've never checked him out until now...BBC News had a good bit about him and a barn where he would play every Saturday night.
