This is a classic
He moves really fast. As you’d expect. It’s Jeff Pocaro. Great to watch for everyone, even non-players. Needs a bit of experience to follow. He casually discusses starting paradiddles on the second beat. Beyond intermediate drummers will lap this up. Rosanna!!!! Get it straight from the horses mouth.
