Nov 18, 2008 - Best live hip-hop show ever! The rest of the band left the stage leaving just Knuckles and Questlove to do a mini-rave in the middle of the gig! Top night!

Nov 18, 2008 - What are you people talking about? this is not monstorous drumming, just a guy keeping a beat with some fills. You need to go and listen to mike clark, Billy Cobham, Dennis Chambers, dave weckel, david Garibaldi, and a host of other great drummers that will blow this guy out of the water.

elementalahh Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - you need to learn what "different styles of music and different styles of playing" means, and not come on other drummers pages just to be a dick.

bdrums777 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - ok, my only comment is the fact that their percussionist nuckles is kinda whack. it is nothing at all to play cnogas and bongos with sticks. that takes no skill. that basically means that he is a drumset player who wanted to play in the roots so he is put on percussion.. i mean, i play both kit and hand percussion and what he is doing takes little skill...no disrespect to anybody. but it jsut soudns like noise.

Nov 18, 2008 - fuckin maggots !!! you need to grown maybe to realize the genius of ahmir ..he's the only one to make groove a beat like he does ... we call that "personality" . don't compare dave weckl with him fuck !!! he's not a "drummer", but just a musician .... producteur .... manager ... and a DJ ... support him and good music !

dev3555 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - ahmir is just unique . he's the only one to make groove and sound a beat like him .. and we can hear his "jazz" background, his black roots . so fuckin maggots dont compare him to dave weckl or tony royster (?!?!;...!,)he's just a musician, producer, manager, composer, and dj ..support him and good music !
