That was my first time seeing that. Better yet, that's my first 5 times seeing that and now my neck hurts! Too much head-bobbing! That's how you do it! Forget the 8 minute licks. It's all about flavor and that my friend was tasteful! And on top of all that, his drums sound good! Good find.

I seen this clip some time last week. This is where my passion lies. That groove had so much life that it was ridiculous. I have nothing against the blazing chops, in fact i enjoy them a lot, but this is where it's at for me. I aspire to have pocket this deep and sultry.

See when some one uses the phrase, "deep and sultry" you know they are in appreciation of the beauty of a thing. That was a "grown folk" commentary.

As you can tell from my avatar, I've been heavy on Wolfgang Haffner. That cat is a top notch blazer, but he plays pocket/groove so artistically. If you haven't heard him you should check him out. He has most definitely made on my top 5 contemporaries list.

wolfgang is a monster, him and benny greb are nuts with the groove, i was so annoyed because i missed his drummelive show last year.

but after seeing benny greb perform im convinced theres something in the german water..lol

jfunk, you need to check out wolfgang at www.meinlcymbals.com. This cat is a true session musician. If I ever did a project as an artist and had the cheddar, he'd probably be my first call. I've watched his clips on meinl's website like a-kagillion times. As a matter of fact, I'll see you guys in a minute. I'm going to go watch them now...at least nine clips of pure heaven.

This reminds me of some of the Trip Hop stuff I use to listen in early 2001-2004.

You and Sugabear have started something. I had peeped him before but wasn't paying attention.

BTW: did anyone else catch that reference to "Come Together" - Beatles on the bass line especially 3 quarters into the song. Hotness!

Frankly, and in my most humble opinion, until a drummer actually starts to FEEL the music, asking someone to groove, is like asking them to write a sonnet in Sanskrit. Yeah, exactly...

...when a drummer has yet to reach the point where they appreciate & feel the MUSIC, they'll be reduced to being mere time-keepers, when they're not twirling sticks & making a mockery of the the words 'tasteful placement'...

Trust me, I know. All the technique in the world doesn't make you a musician, as far as I'm concerned. When you come to appreciate the music, then you won't feel the need to kill the groove with your over-playing. That would seem criminal, 'cause you'd be ruining your high as well...

...ah yes. Finally....

...I agree with you all the way mane. Don't know about the ruining your "high" thing though. $:-\$
