This video is helpful to me, because, from what I can tell, it demonstrates extremely mature musical decision making. It just seems like everything he plays is exactly what the music calls for. No real moments where his playing draws a lot of attention to him. Wish there were more videos like this one on YouTube.

The music is from the Tommy Igoe books. He plays it pretty close to the way Igoe played it.

Doesn't necessarily invalidate the observation, just the attribution.
And that snare sound is fab...

No, no, don't feel dumb. It was an excellent performance. That song is not easy. Lots of nuance there and he made the pocket section groove.

Hey man,
Your posting of this video didn't demonstrate your being dumb, it demonstrated your good taste in good playing and groove. Thanks for posting!

I LOVE the snare and cymbals sound.
Perfect playing for the tune.
