Relaxed and supremely accurate at the same time; that's when the magic happens and few can do it on that level. Great loss. RIP.

Great grooves. FYI Pee Wee Ellis made up the riff for Cold Sweat and should have been given credit too - in fact if you listen very carefully you can hear that Cold Sweat was subconsciously influenced by Miles Davis Kind of Blue - similar note progression even if the rest of the song is very original. And I have attended many many drum clinics but regretfully I never met Clyde. RIP
