>>i think he plays with 'one stick beating'<<
aye, nice one. while I was laughing at that, I started to wonder if he was/is a student of corky laing, who I saw drumming with mountain last night. he is in the habit of launching sticks into the audience at the rate of five or six per song at least, usually from his right side as he hits the ride or a low tom. these latter tended to end up in the lighting truss but many times they still threatened to take peoples' eyes out. one could see that not only has he practised this for hours but that he retains sufficient alertness not to accidentally hurl either of his only pair of felt beaters the same way.
each stick had barely cleared the edge of the stage before he had another ready to go, though curiously he never let one off from his snare hand so nothing came my way.
during the later numbers, he had two sticks in his left hand, so he could hit the snare even harder for "mississippi queen" &c...... there must have been a tree and a contingent of chipmunks back there somewhere- wonder if they had quarantine issues?
leslie west is a real comedian, great show. missed the keyboards on "nantucket sleighride" though, and the bassist isn't a patch on the late mr pappalardi.
duncan.
