So...this next drummer...Antonio Sanchez. I'm really not even sure how to articulate, other than to say that he's so good it hurts. I've been fortunate enough to see him live with Pat Metheny four times. The first time I had this grand idea of interviewing Antonio after the show for my college newspaper, but couldn't come up with anything but "What planet are you from?" and so I never mustered up the courage to approach him. In the vid below there's a point where the camera focuses on Metheny waiting in the wings during the drum solo and even he can't believe what he's watching. That's how good Mr. Sanchez is.
