To me Narada is in the top three of the fusion drummers who have ever walked the earth. So inspiring, so creative. This 7/8 time with Mahavishnu Orchestra style vibe is great stuff. From Narada’s 1976 solo album “Garden of love light”:

And If you really wanna hear Narada go apeshit on the drums check out this Mahavishnu Orchesta track. Complete beautiful and brilliant madness:

Most of the things I cover (concerning both drum-style and choice of music) is a result of the “soundtrack of my life”. And my highest hope is of course that this can lead to musical discoveries (from a great area of music) for someone else. And for the ones that know this music at least lead to rediscovery and revitalization of a golden past.
Don’t hesitate to comment on my posts whether it’s questions, recommendations or critic.

Sound recorded from the EAD10 through Yamahas app “Rec n’ Share” which is connected to an iPhone 11 that provides the video ...
... and I use the app “Moises” to remove drums from songs to make them into new great drum-tracks:
