I think Dave would have invited comparison to Neil because he would have used the big kit and played the Neil "thing". Anika will do her own thing that's so far removed it can't be compared to Neil.

Super interesting choice - congrats to Anika she's a great player!

First stream in many months. Took a long break.
It went well - super fun drumming and chatting.

I remember joking with a friend about not being able to find any recording of Dave playing 5 or more identical bars. I think I found one or two examples ...maybe.

Man I would really Love to see Dave just play interrupted groove here for a change. All the HH embellishments and stabs every two bars/four bars. Not playing that stuff is its own skill.
