Tony Allen: The Master at Work

I came across a Video on Youtube of Tony Allen giving a lecture on Drum Technique at the Red Bull Music Academy in Toronto and I believe if there was any doubt about his status as one of the best Drummers in the World, this is one way of clearing this up.

Tony Allen by the way is the Nigerian Drummer and ex-Bandleader of Fela Kuti's Africa 70, Drummer in The Good the Band and the Queen etc

In his completely effortless and almost inert style, he plays a deceptively complex and powerful Drum riff.By the way he's 71 this year, I stand in awe.
