Just stumbled upon this - Great drummer, great energy !
Seems related musically to Mars Volta?

Yeah, he has a slew of solo albums which are mostly miss for me...and i still think Pridgen was the best drummer they've had...on the Bedlam tours they finally sounded like a band who were listening, tight yet still loose, and playing within themselves...no one else did that for them in my opinion...
Worth it ORL albums for me: Xenophanes, El Groupo Nuevo, The Apocalypse Inside An Orange, Ciencia de..., Cizana..., Old Money, and どういたしまして...some decent cuts on Se Dice, Solar Gambling, and Calibration but overall not really...the rest don't bother with.
HC, note that the drummer in the above videos is Deantoni Parks, not Thomas Pridgen.
I like the drummer, but Omar always gave me a headache.
no tunes, no dynamics, no nosebone
Huge charter-fan of Mars Volta here, saw them several times including the first couple tours. LOVE that band....hope one day it happens again.
However also a big fan of ORL's solo works......and This band was really great live...Terry is an amazing presence and great vocalist live...
Check them out!
Ooops...of course I mean "Bosnian Rainbows". But this group is a blast to watch/hear as well....
