    That droning middle portion of this song was entrancing, the melodic repetition really got me in a way that doesn’t often happen.
    And damn does that ride and hats sound good. Curious how much such a ride costs.
    Been a Rodney fans since I saw that wild cowbell lick from the old Meinl Festival from years back. I still play that groove every now and then if I wanna show off... I’m sure I do if wrong and it still sounds/looks cool.

  • @dwightsills8785
    @dwightsills8785 Před 4 lety +2

    I learned a lot from playing with and listening to the late great Ricky Lawson. He “played the song” instead of making the song about his abilities. I see that same quality in you, Rodney. Although I know you have chops galore, you “play the song” and make the listening experience something it should be....felt! And what I really dig is that you bring that approach to fusion. Well done 👍🏾.

  • @EricT43
    @EricT43 Před 4 lety +1

    I love Rodney's playing, and I have to say this is a great-sounding ensemble of cymbals. It's a relatively small setup, but he's got a good variety of non-overlapping sounds that all work with each other. I'd be happy with this setup.

  • @XiyuYang
    @XiyuYang Před 4 lety +1

    What I appreciate about his playing is he seems to always have the song in mind, and only plays what serves the song, but still manages to corporate little bits of subtle details. Making odd time signatures flow like this is very difficult.

  • @uubuuh

    not a drummer, but I kept feeling, waiting for a release to snare on 2&4, just for a bar here and there. of course it's valid to not do that and just let the tension be. that's why he's the artist.
