Funtwo Revealed (part one)

Have you ever seen Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez solo? He can hold down a clave pattern with his left foot, while soloing in various time signatures on the rest of the kit, with his remaining three limbs. Now that is something that you have to see to believe. Or Terry Bozzio, total four-way independance, playing his kit like a mini orchestra, with bass lines, melodies, and harmonies built with limb-specific ostinatos, and one limb or another also soloing somewhere. You have to see that in person.
