I lived with he and his ex-wife for a spell about 20 years ago, jammed with him a few times, and got to see him really let loose with a couple of the ensembles he played with. He can play like Jojo Mayer when you take the leash off of him.Yep, nice guy. I had the opportunity to jam with him a cuppla times (he was friends with my then-bassist) years ago - I always remember the kick that he called a "cannon" - about 12" by seemed like 36", as I recall. Great drummer.
Sorry for the OT.
