Damn straight he's underrated! I remember him well in his prime: a blur on the toms while doing tight "rolls" with heart-stopping double kicks. He doesn't even appear on Rolling Stone's list of 100 Greatest Drummers of All Time.
Billy Cobham appears only at 45 behind several drummers who could only dream of attaining his level of technical prowess and feel IMO. Christian Vander somehow sneaks in at 100! Of course there are a lot of fantastic drummers left off the list. Sorry, this was probably already discussed and I'm a bit off topic. Anyway, happy birthday Barrie!
Love Barriemore! His solo on the live 1977 DVD is insane! One of the greats for sure.
Marco sounded better playing found objects with his fingers than all of those other guys behind their kits.
Very cool tribute, and yes the Marco bit was jaw dropping, as was Doane Perry.
