He’s a kick ass drummer. He never seems to repeat himself and runs the gamut stylistically. It’s always striking to witness the literal and figurative momentum that he produces.

Delighted to share a mix of his with you. It’s got soul. The art is embedded into the mp3, but I also posted it here cause it’s fucking awesome.

Here’s a killer mix by my friend John Herndon from Danny’s Tavern the other night. The mix is 3 hours long! Big thanks to John for letting me record and ignoring me while I was climbing around the DJ booth. Words are kinda failing me here so I’ll just quit typing.
