    The fact that, without keeping a pulse with his left foot, he played such complex subdivisions (almost seeming random and completely off beat) while still coming in EXACTLY on beat one astonishes me. And don't even get me started on his dynamics! Truly the best drum solo I've ever seen.

      "how they all came back in at the same time". Certainly, plus the fact that the solo sounds (to me at least) as if it's done away with the song's rhythm and going its own way... However, if you click your fingers along from the beginning (hi-hat is the cue) then you come to realise that the song's rhythm is there all along. So not only they come back at the same time, but back to the song's rhythm. Frankly, as a drummer, if I were able to depart from a rhythm WITHOUT truly breaking that rhythm I would WOW myself as well, and not just once, hahaha.

      @@ThisReckless Because it's not about the notes he hits as much as the notes he doesn't hit - he uses silence as part of the drum solo - and if you count that, he's playing 32nd notes in terms of how it feels as a rhythm. It gets better and better the more you feel it out, it seems like only a meme at first but it's truly a genius drummer at work. Listen to Hussain play Tabla to get a better feel of what I'm talking about. 32nds don't fit into most contemporary western music but Indian music has used it for a long time. When you feel it, you feel it. Most drummers are incapable of feeling out 32nd's that I've listened to. That's why it has a mysterious quality to it, he's accenting the 16th notes slightly off-time but it fits perfectly into the 32nds. Most drummers are just off-time and play sloppy 16ths, this is very clean 32nd's to me using mostly 16th and 8th notes. That's the best way I could describe it. I would also describe it as a polyrhythm using silence. He's so deep in the pocket that you lose him unless you can feel it out. Indian Solfege is VERY useful for this.

    I'm a musician, but never played drums. All I can say is that what may sound random and chaotic, is actually quite complex and very well thought out.
    But then again, that's how some people hear jazz.

    If you keep time and count through his solo, he's playing and accenting on so many different offbeats, upbeats, downbeats. All with extreme precision, intention, and in time. Those that can't see why this is great and brilliant are not necessarily at fault. They just don't grasp the concept of rhythm, counting, and cohesion. It's simple ignorance.

      You got it pretty well. He's an incredible drummer, he just makes funny faces during a phenomenal solo. It's supposed to be ironic because you can't judge a book by it's cover and it's honestly up there with Buddy Rich in terms of drumming (imo better than because it's funkier).
