I was a little leary and didn't inititally want to watch the vid for fear that it would:

A) Be a clip that I had seen posted on the board

or

B) Be a clip simular to that of what D-H posted....

It was neither. This guy has some really advanced concepts and is really rocking the bejeves out of that 4 piece. Crisp, clean moves with authority. And he's landing them on the one!

The Ragaeton patern that he's doing from around the 5:00 mark can be applied to shouting music as a fill if you want to take it there.

Nice find. I digs it.

Jotan Afandor set a world record in the WFD for 1, 199 singles trokes with his hands in 1 minute. the record was broken by his friend Mike Mangini (whom u can see on MD 2006 DVD).

Yet another guy to blow the myth that speed/technique guys aren't musical and can't groove.
