if they're looking for someone similar to portnoy I think aquiles priester is gonna be the winner:

that's just what it is, solid rock!
and sorry but I don't hear no 'poor execution' and nothing 'lame', taylor just puts some fills that fit the song in my opinion

max sansalone use a similar lick and does some cool variations of it:

looks like they did a tribute to pastorius little after his death, and playing an ornette coleman tune

just found it! http://www.youtube.com/user/HassbeatDrumChannel

great video and tracks but this one particularly caught my attention because it's called "Studio workshop teaser"
is he gonna release a workshop DVD or something???

wow!! thanks, this is a real gem!!!!

this is still one of my favourites drum solos ever http://ia201110.eu.archive.org/3/audio/ ... 06_vbr.mp3

it's insane what he pulls off with just snare, bass, hats and one cymbal...

there was a video from the 90s with sadao watanabe, also featuring will lee and lenny castro

he has updated his web page and talks about videos, a new book and a DVD! looks awesome!
