Lee Ritenour "Rit Variations" Drum Cover

I remember hearing this as teenager. Carlos Vega on drums. I chose this live version from a special Ritenour concert

Nice playing! Carlos Vega.... not a name we hear very often anymore... but such a great player. Great performance 👌

I'm a fan of Carlos, two of his recordings I like very much；GRP Live in Sessions and James Taylor Live.

Fine groove! Looks always easy, when you play - so good. I also like the 70s and 80s things of Rit.

Nailed it! That was a great musical era. Do you play professionally?

Thank you. I play in a top 40 band on the weekends. Also in a tribute band.
