    Very smart man. Surprisingly funny. He could talk more and in a less skimming fashion. The presentation could be easily an hour or more. I hope it was.

    Erskine is a drum god, but a cringeworthy powerpoint at a TED event is not a good look.

    We've heard this before from other masters. Erskine spent a career regurgitating other people's work. Correction: Drums are made of wood and skin and METAL. Help spread the word...

      Hu Amm Eye , oh yeah, forgot to add; if he was good enough for Zawinul & Wayne Shorter he's good enough for me.
