Dimmukane:
I think he has ADHD?

It's more that he's fun to watch than anything else, I think.

FireAarro:
Khar, are you denying that his playing style is unusual? I can't imagine how you could support that.

Well, he's classically trained. And his drumming is, well, interesting. I don't usually pay much attention to the drumming on albums, but the two things that really stand out for me on Friend Opportunity are his drums and Satomi's voice. He isn't just there to keep the beat like so many drummers, he uses the drums as an instrument in their own right.

I can't wait to get the CD, I pre-ordered it from KRS. I don't know if there's still copies of it there, but the first 500 people to pre-order get a limited edition paper copy of the sheet music. Maybe I will try playing along with the record on my keyboard! (Since that is the only instrument I can read sheet music for.)

He hits the drums quite hard?

That's all I can pick up.

Also I don't feel like dissapointing you but the drums are not a classical instrument.

I mean he is not a bad drummer but nothing to wank on about.

Wiki: In 1991, the classically trained Saunier, directly after graduating from conservatory, moved to San Francisco and joined a short-lived quartet called Nitre Pit, on drums.

And yes, they are.
