    My favorite drummer of all time... not just for his technical chops, but the creativity and passion is palpable. It's a unique sound that is unmistakably Stephen Perkins.

      sparkdog 494 spot on mate. His drumming in Porno for Pyros was the most colorfully connected sort of rock tribal drumming I ever heard. The first PFP album. Staggering. Heroic. Pure art at its best.

    Ya know? It's almost impossible to fathom that a guy in his 50's, who lived w/ coke and heroin junkies for years is in that good of shape and can still rock out that unholy. Bat. Shit crazy on the drums like a bull in a China shop. But it is his profession right? Doesn't take Too many breaks from the regimen I suppose even during down times. Greetings from Cleveland Stephen! You're a beast!

    @brain. Jane's Addiction, porno for pyros, banyan, hellride, panic channel, infectious grooves, are some of the bands he is/was in. Stephen is my favorite drummer. He is always having a blast pounding his kit and that's what it's all about

    This was extremely enjoyable to watch. Mr. Perkins has a masterful musicality on the drums that is lacking with some of today's contemporaries. A true musician of the percussive world, just like his obvious major influence shows in this performance, a.k.a.the professor himself, Mr. Neil Peart..

    Stephen Perkins kept this one rocking from start to finish. Not many drummers have a lot of good ideas on their own or know how to compose a solo with structure, melody, and cohesiveness. Even some of the world's best drummers can be boring without the proper music to bring their talents out. Stephen nailed this solo. All bobble-headedness aside, this was a solid performance.

    I just made a comment in the last video about SP when drumming in Porno for Pyros as being the most musical drummer I have ever heard. Then he explains just this right at the beginning. The man is a drum genius. It’s his cymbal work that sets him aside.

    Another YYZ ripoff. I heard a little Didacts and Narpets as well. The live Jane's Addiction album from '87 he's brilliant on. The studio stuff on Nothings Shocking was too overdubbed. He's got great feel, even at fast tempos. This solo was decent. Would have liked to have seen some snare work.
