    Morgan Agren's Conundrum: A Percussive Misadventure

    https://vimeo.com/ondemand/morgan

    Picked this up over the weekend... nice documentary. Some good interviews and sounds. Visit to Beefheart's house was funny. Worth watching if you dig MOrgan and Mats and drummers in general. Guy is an alien like Vinnie C and Dave Weckl.

    Glad to be reminded of this. Just bought the DVD thanks to you. Just love his approach to drumming; a supremely talented guy.

    Weee! Glad to have helped out. Ya... his approach to drums and how musical he plays even with the insane chops - top notch.

    One of the greatest contemporary rock drummers out there. Ågren's abilities go way beyond those of many an "established" name I shall not mention, some of which have even stated this themselves.

    With Yoshida, Kerman, Keith Abrams and Damon Che this is my fave current drummer in the "progressive" realm. Incredible talent!
