Got to tell you -- my all time favorite drummer is Dino Danelli from the Young Rascals. One the most under-appreciated drummers in Rock history. He blew me away every time on solos. If you get bored, in this 13 minutes, skip around, he's amazing. And you could tell from the studio tracks how expressive he was with the standard stuff.
Yes, he was a very good drummer. Watch this Peart video, the solo starts at 3:58 but it get's interesting at the 5:30 mark.
Fantastic. If you close your eyes towards the end, you'd swear he had 3 feet..
Yes. The speed and accuracy of his strikes is simply amazing. When he plays that little tune on the cow bells while maintaining the underlying beat is something I have never seen anyone else do.
