I’ll never understand why today’s artist don’t learn from guys like Kenny, Leland, Luke, etc. These cats know how to get it done. They practice their art. They go in…collaborate, contribute, learn and apply it, and keep learning and practicing. They are a true gift to the music world. Sadly, guys like these are so rare. Blessed to have met them both. Amazing artists and such humble people. Thanks for sharing Kenny.

Thanks for this great interview, Kenny. Leland Sklar has been one of my favorite musicians from the first time I looked up to see who was playing bass on Doctor My Eyes. Aside from being a great drummer, I remember watching an instruction video you had (even though I'm not a drummer) some years back and I also think you are a gifted teacher.

The first time I heard of Lee Sklar was on the Spectrum album by Billy Cobham. This Man is a consumate professional and eclectic as hell. You gotta Adore Musice to play with the variety of Artists. Same for yourself Mr. Aramoff. Props. That Groove he played on Stratus is Classis

Todd.. so true...Something very simple with emotion can be just as powerful as something complex and technical.. It depends on the situation or in this case the song.

Listening to Lee is a master class on how to be a professional. He is totally committed to all aspects of the job.. the music part.. the hang.. providing input but accepting what the producer and artist wants. And I understand he is not a druggy or alcoholic which I find might be difficult at times dealing with some of the other musicians. Drummer Louis Bellson is another musician I understand lived a dedicated clean life and who was respected for being a professional.
