I've always enjoyed Emory over the years.
When the bottom end (BD) supports the upper limb coordinates we see amazing results occur. Sonny Emory, in my estimation, has been underrated to due recognition yet he holds a strong presence when engaged live. 21st century Drum Marathons, electronic enhancements and drum kit add-ons, in my opinion, pales to the sheer physics and discipline in technique harnessed in raw physical power. Notice Emory's single-beater technique and you'll know what I'm talking about - meaning there is so much more happening with all limbs being in perfect marriage (7:35) that only audible/visual medium best communicate his musicianship, stage showmanship that demands recognition and attention to detail.
Sonny Emory throwback; 1970s
Note; Headphones for better listening.
