I've just watched and listened to that and I love it. I've never heard him before.

It almost sounds like he's playing a well tuned radio king snare- what is it?

LOVE Steve Jordan !!!!!!!

Here's another good one....

That's from his DVD The Groove Is Here. Pretty much just him jamming away with different people in different styles and showing beats he played on people's records.

I love it. It's the anti-drum-video drum video. I think he has a bit of a solo at one point while playing with a band and drops a stick, fishes around on the floor for it while playing with the other hand until he finds it and then continues. I really like the 'human' element of it all... it's not about perfect syncopation, crazy fills or ostinatos or anything else... just playing stuff that sounds damn good. Plays a fair bit of vintage gear, there's a BDP (or black oyster, I can't remember) down beat and a wmp (or silver perhaps) super classic as well as his big green Yammy with the 24". Some cool pies too, his normal Paiste rig as well as a few older zildjians and some huge coloursound hats.
