That was amazing to watch. |

A friend of mine has an instructional DVD by him that is pretty recent. He is incredible. It is still fun to watch him when he was young. It is amazing. |

He had a drum clinic at the Guitar Center in Knoxville. Absolutely phenomenal to watch in person as well as an absolutely phenomenal personality. By far one of the nicest people I have ever met. |

I used to play with a kid by the name of Steve Renko who was pretty close to this kid at the age of 12. He's now 16.
Billy Norris and other Grammy Jazz cats know what I'm talkin bout.

Now, I mean no disrespect to anyone whatsoever. As far as I know this young man developed into a skilled and accomplished drummer. At least he seemed to have all the tools to do so. However, this video is a seven minute drum solo with NO other instruments. I'm sure we have all known musicians - drummers, bassists, etc., not just drummers - who could solo like a genius but were incapable of playing with other musicians in a band setting.
I'm not in any way suggesting this young man isn't very skilled, but it sure would have been nice to have him play along with the studio band. They could have started on some upbeat jazz/rock tune, he could have thrown those great fills in where they belonged, and they could have still featured a four minute drum solo in the middle of the piece, ending with the band coming back in and some more fabulous fills on the way to a big ending.
I certainly would have enjoyed that more than an unaccompanied seven minute solo, and it would have demonstrated that this fine young man is capable of playing in ensemble as well as solo.
Like I said, I am in no way disrespecting his awesome skills, just expressing my opinion on what would have made this an even more enjoyable (for me) seven minute clip. |
