Performances excerpts from the "Independence" video tape. "Sonic Tapestry" "Loops of Lives" "Destination" "Trigger Jam" "Seasons" VHS transfer to digital.
Thank you! A true master & innovator of the drums, 4-way independence and dynamics (the fact that he didn't muffle his drum heads was proof of that). His contribution to drumming & music (Casiopea) is extremely important. That system he developed with Yamaha to be a solo artist on the drums was incredible. It's a shame that he doesn't get mentioned in current drum circles on YT. The footage for his videos need to be remastered to high definition before they are lost to time. {sorry for the rant}
"Rant"? Hardly. I see it as a measured and cogent statement. And I completely agree with the idea of remastering. This is musically brilliant stuff that is not just for drum buffs. (I have the VHS cassette in storage somewhere...but now only DVD players ☹ )
Wow if only 3/4 of the drummers in US could have 1/4 of your talent, our music would be fantastic again. This boring 2/4 drum beat that everyone plays for every rock song ever, is absolutely horrendous. Do we have no rhythm in the US? UGH
