Bonzo...

Moon... who he?

Priceless

Particularly his *being discreet face* as he tippety-taps the hi-hat to make some room for the guitar solo (1:57).

He has just pushed

Animal into second place in my all time list.

I thought Elvin Jones was good...

... but he's got nothing on this guy.

Pah

He's not even the best drummer in the Allnighters, if you ask Rick K, who does his utmost to steal the spotlight in this. Leave it out, Rickaaay, you're a knob.

I really respect

that kind of performance. It's saying "In my head I'm the biggest thing in drumming EVER and I'm not afraid to show it." I love that: no boundaries, no fake modesty, no sense of entitlement just unbridled self-belief.

Pure rock 'n' roll and that guy deserves The Great White Pyramid in Xian as a riser, the biggest stadium visible from space as a platform and an 18 wheeler just for his ego.

How do you know when...

... the greatest drummer in the history of music is at the door? The knocking speeds up...

Remember when you were about eight?

You'd watched TOTP a bit and decided that drumming was the thing to do. And that, when you became a drummer, you'd have all the moves.

The man above is the drummer every eight year-old boy wants to be.
