Not a day goes by that I don't listen to his Yes drumming for hours. I'm a huge fan of Chris Squire/Steve Howe/Jon Anderson but Alan White makes it all come to life in an extraordinarily positive and organic way. He hears everything that goes on in the music and adjusts to it perfectly, and at the same time he controls the pace of the songs and gives them an unbelievable kick forward. Every drum sound he plays is ideal and beautiful and powerful. In other words, he rocks like no other drummer that I am aware of. So modest about his years with John Lennon and then taking over for the Close to the Edge tour until today and *still* going strong. <br /><br />I would recommend that everyone put some Alan White into their musical life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
