TA's style is so hard to follow! It's almost impossible to count all the stuff going on at the same time. His finesse is unbeatable.

Are Tony Allen’s beats transcribed in one place anywhere? I’d love a PDF of his awesome contribution to music!

Its all about counterpoint and syncopation...an integral part of the 'Soca' art form in Trinidad & Tobago.
