Just goes to show how much work goes into making a song. Singers get the credit most of the time but where would they be without the musicians. Mad respect for the background folks who make it happen.

The joy on the face of the sound engineer next to him says it all

As soon as the beat started up you can see his facial expression change to all business. Awesome cymbal grabs. Beat was dead on, not over playing. This is a lesson for all future drummer's. You don't have to fit in a bunch of fills to sound great. Once again great video.

I remember seeing michael jackson in concert as a kid.. During the BAD tour. Your skill and stamina on the drums is off the charts. These no music understand people may not recognize what you do. But those of us with some experience in music or band understand. To be able to keep up that tempo with michael's songs through a whole concert with basically no breaks. RESPECT!!

To all drummers out there. Stop over playing! Make sure you develop a strong backbeat like this. That's the money maker!!

It takes a lot of discipline for a professional world-class drummer to play like that, he could probably tear it apart on the drums 100%, but that's called discipline, that's called playing what's needed and making sure everything you are playing is perfect.
