Styx Drummer is fantastic

As somebody who has played with a couple of handfuls of drummers, I cannot overstate what a joy it is to play with one with good meter and swing.
 
I saw Todd at a drum clinic, highly recommended even for guitar players. One of the top rock drummers for sure.
 
Original Styx drummer, John Panozzo, passed away in 1996.

This drummer does a great job of performing what was composed by Panozzo. This is almost exact to the album, which is pretty awesome.
 
Huh? That's pretty much how the song goes. He takes a few little liberties but he's definitely kept it in the spirit of the original recording.
Didn't intend to put him down. Great player with the band's blessing. Just a bit busy in some spots for my taste compared to the original. I guess I'm sensitive to it becaue my band once hired a fantastic drummer who overplayed eveything.
