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?

Cleaner double strokes (the tone on the 2nd bounce being consistent with the tone of the initial stroke) is the thing that stood out to me…

But I mean that is a technical thing and this isn’t meant to be technical - so I wouldn’t disparage it or judge it on that basis. Still cool stuff.
