That guy with the pretty boy hair cut literally killed the song. He might as well just throw sticks at the drums and it would sound better.

His hair is impressive.

Typical rock guy with no feel, no touch, and no chops to fit the music. Course, this isn't exactly the kind of gig he's been training for his whole life. Who is he and why was he on the line-up? Was he called in to take the spot of Vinnie?!

I made it just on the other side of the towel rant.

It wasn't Matt Sorum's typical gig either but he did a nice job >>>

Makes me appreciate the Matt Sorum performance on the Burnin for Buddy stuff even more.
FWIW that dude with the hair did have nice hands.

Cathy and Greg are in a relationship.

The "and" of 4 doesn't always or even mostly have to be accentuated with unison snare/cymbal hits, at least not in my experience of listening or playing big band music or, well, music in general.

It would be hard not to play the Steve Gadd double stroke roll going into those hits right before the sax solo. Especially if you've seen that damned video thousands of times like most of us have. So, I guess, kudos to Potter for not doing that? Or anything else that Gadd did on that song for that matter.
