His playing is above many drummers heads and to understand what he does, you need to spend time with his work to appreciate it. To illustrate this point .... A drummer friend ( a pop/rock player) and I went to a drum clinic at which Tony was on the bill. Others there were Virgil danante, Dennis Chambers (others as well but these two stood out). My friend went to sleep during Tony's segment saying he was boring. What Tony did was play for his whole time, no talk, no cameras, no tapes allowed, his drumming did all the talking for me. To me, it was the most amazing and magicle thing I have seen in my life. I won't even try to explain what he did other then that. It saddens me when drummers talk about some drummers (no names mentioned) as being the best who don't belong to be mentioned beside Tony's name, and I know they are'nt even aware of who he is. Who knows, maybe they would fall asleep when hearing him play.
