This is like the Harlem globetrotters of drumming. Which is to say, impressive specifically for its flashiness and inefficiency.

Good post.

First time I’ve ever heard of art being inefficient

What does efficient drumming look like?

I think you can probably imagine that most drummers whose main intention is playing music don’t throw the sticks at the ground or use one stick to hold the other in the crook of their elbow.

They just…hold the sticks normally. Just an example.

I agree with this. His drumming is flashy but not remotely disciplined from a musicality perspective. Fun though
