Yes, Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa, etc. were great drummers but every now and then someone comes along who changes the game yet again, and Dafnis Prieto is the next level.

He brings a fluidity and vocabulary that is flat out stunning if you know what you’re listening to. I hope more people discover him soon, he’s really special.
