Hey Rodge, a Brecker Brothers concert came up on my feed tonight with Rodney Holmes. I thought, there's a name I haven't heard in years.

Apparently it's from 2018 demoing e-drums for Roland. Sounds like shit though. Someone in the comments section made a great analogy. "Like a Michelin chef using a microwave".
