Love this style! Its not about blazing "chops". Its about music. Taking a motif and developing that motif. Theme and variation. This is what art is about. Expression.

I like this creative drummer!
He is not the type to show only how fast or how skilled he is, he is a musician as musicians should be: story tellers!

Billy has been my mentor for over ten years now, and I am still blown away by his playing to this day. One of today's true innovators. #KindBeats4Kids

This is the kind of thing where I watch it and say, "THAT, is what I want to be able to do."
