Incredible musician.

His style of drumming was unique. Not wanting to start an argument in this thread, but I've always felt that ska/reggae drummers have a bit more technical fortitude than rock drummers. There's a lot of little in-fills and riffs(?) that they add between the main beats.

Rest in piece.

Lee.

RIP

Rode our scooters to go see them back in 1994 at the Fillmore (I think that's where it was - or Bimbo's)

R.I.P.
One of the best.
