Jeff KUDO's to this years show. Having taken up drumming at age 62 I think your musicality and the discipline
of drumming from progressive rock to what I consider Orchestral drumming is amazing. Again after 10 years of TSO concerts you have really nailed this thing.
Wish you did some clinics on how you approach the orchestral vs the standard groove/fill kit work.
I love the space.
Carry on as I think TSO is tops in rock creativity that
even a 70 year old can appreciate.
Thank you for you time.

During my 5th TSO Concert (in Buffalo NY 12/15 7:30PM showing) I met Jeff's wife, Cathy. After the simply amazing energy filled concert, I went up to her and introduced myself and told her how much I admired her husbands drum play. We carried on conversation, probably more so once she found out that I was from Jeff's neighborhood... aka, the top side of Seneca Lake.
I (still) own a Sound & Stage Lighting Co. and have done numerous gigs/bands, from the many cover bands and to the likes of the Spin Doctors, we have been around the block. We have lasers, fog etc (of course) but I have always been amazed at real mastery, and following TSO (when in our loca) and it has been an all out epic mouth watering site & sound adventure. Well, I also study the little (but big) things incl musicians play, maybe pickup on some habits etc.
Being a big Rush fan ...back in the day, drum wise I was always wow factored by Niel Pert. I also bought a BMW Motorcycle (like him) and always wanted to see where he was biking to (he went to gigs this way also btw)... Ugh, never happened, but I did and still do enjoy the Bike touring world.
So now up to date (in a nutshell) I meet Jeff's wife who was sitting a row in front of me. Well, I spill my guts on how much I loved his performance. I did study him behind his massive Kit (lol). Intricate and Precise I tell ya, love love loved it!
Since I have never seen Jeff's past bands, I can't comment (of course), but I would HIGHLY recommend a TSO Concert and sit close enough to check out his precise drumming and very entertaining stick twirling/antics play!
