Hi brotha I’m listening to you play all day. I’ve been a drummer from about four or five years old Max roach was a big idol to me. My dad actually hung around with Alvin Jones a couple times and studied with Brooks I. Detroit he was good friends with Elvin jones and many others like woody Shaw and my whole family like even my moms side her father is one of the best guitarist like also my cousin he’s a saxophone player living in Paris look him up he played with miles Davis and it goes on and on but the reason I’m commenting is bcuz your playing is awesome and it’s like what I wanna hear and why I listen to drums when I can’t play because that’s my choice of playing I love clave and Won woncho I hope it spelled so you can understand I’m in Vegas and I actually am getting back in to drums graham lear is a good friend of mine and I learned songo from him as a young boy around 8-9 yrs old and I got in to Latin. Like as soon S I heard and experienced the filll and sound of it omg the best but I got my life back together I became a drug addiction lost all my love for drums life and I am now ok and.
