    Omar's "inner" notes (the little 16th or 32nd accents and ghost notes) are totally f**king incredible, like no one else. It is like he is always playing some kind of 4 minute long syncopated drum roll that sounds so. damn. good!

    First time I had ever heard of and saw Omar Hakim was around the late 80's when he smashed it up with Sting performing, 'Burn For you' been a fan ever since. At one point the late Kenny Kirkland can be seen chuckling at how Omar Hakim was absolutely blistering the skins. Every time I watch the video I get chills. Big up OH!

    I've seen him play his first public gig in NY with Weather Report at the Palladium in June 1982. He was 23 years old. He was so ecstatic they let him play the longest solo ever. The place was on fire. Victor Bailey was on bass.

    • @EleanorPeterson
      @EleanorPeterson 5 років тому +2

      Not a weird thing to mention at all, my friend! A drummer can have great hands and amazing stick control, but without good posture his pedal work will have a hard time keeping up.
      Omar's 'authority' starts with perfect balance from his upright posture (listen to that bass drum!) and ends - after an awful lot of hard work - with a telephone that never stops ringing. :-)
