    Beautiful, real, human times before the social media shit. Social media might kill the core of humanity, indeed. It already affected big time how people communicate, feel and make descisions. And that's pretty powerful already.

      Part of being the greatest is the type of person you are. A big part of THAT, is humility. Whether or not someone is better than u, appreciate what they do and where they are on their journey. Bruner is amazing, but I don't see / hear him throwing dirt on greats' names like you just did

      @@G4LPodcast to each his own, but no offence....Jon Theodore and Yussef Dayes are definitely NOT in the same conversation of Deantoni Parks and RBJ, these two are not even on a differente league...but on a different planet. What Ron and Deantoni were able to do in their career is so unconventional, complicated and crazy that it is difficult to explain in words...they set the bar higher and higher performance after performance to the point that the only ones they can compete with are themselves.
      Jon Theodore is a very good rock drummer, Yussef is good but nothing remarkable to me.

      @@thedrummerscorner1 nah Jon Theodore is way more than a rock drummer. The stuff he did on Deloused in the Comatorium, Amputechture, and Frances the Mute is pretty complex. When it comes to Yussef he may be the least complex but he creates pockets that are unique and groovy.

    Music isn’t sports so it’s hard to say he’s the greatest by some stats. I think in skill terms he’s absolutely one of the best to EVER do it yet I think so is Tony Royster, Eric Moore, Thomas Pridgen etc. if he’s the greatest to you than that’s legit and respectable! He’s not my fav but I’m not delusional lol he’s him no doubt and I’ve learned from him in the interview. ✨💯

    I love him but there is NO greatest drummer alive. Art is about feeling, emotion. R Moe Tucker, Ringo Starr the worst drummers alive or is, or is it Jdilla the best non drummer to make drum beats or is Mick Fleeetwood a great drummer, or horrible? Jimi Hendrix the greatest guitarist or is bob Dylan who influenced him..There is only ONE BILLY COBHAM..
