"how they all came back in at the same time". Certainly, plus the fact that the solo sounds (to me at least) as if it's done away with the song's rhythm and going its own way... However, if you click your fingers along from the beginning (hi-hat is the cue) then you come to realise that the song's rhythm is there all along. So not only they come back at the same time, but back to the song's rhythm. Frankly, as a drummer, if I were able to depart from a rhythm WITHOUT truly breaking that rhythm I would WOW myself as well, and not just once, hahaha.

Listen to Hussain play Tabla to get a better feel of what I'm talking about. 32nds don't fit into most contemporary western music but Indian music has used it for a long time. When you feel it, you feel it. Most drummers are incapable of feeling out 32nd's that I've listened to. That's why it has a mysterious quality to it, he's accenting the 16th notes slightly off-time but it fits perfectly into the 32nds. Most drummers are just off-time and play sloppy 16ths, this is very clean 32nd's to me using mostly 16th and 8th notes. That's the best way I could describe it. I would also describe it as a polyrhythm using silence. He's so deep in the pocket that you lose him unless you can feel it out. Indian Solfege is VERY useful for this.

@@maskcollector6949 Thank you I love music theory, and the more I listen I get it but I’m just like hmmm idk. Some parts it seems like he gets tunnel vision and doesn’t know where to go with the solo, but I am trying to hear it. He was obviously very excited about it at the end so he knows he hit something. Just didn’t seem clean, fluid, or thought outright to me.

@@ThisReckless I understand that perspective, the silences and pauses sound uncoordinated. Music is something doesn’t always rely on fluidity, it can be jarring and unexpected. As mask collector said this mans solo is calculated perfectly and you need a really trained ear to hear the flow and rhythm of 32nd’s

He's playing 32nd notes in terms of rhythm if you feel out the offbeat - reminds me a lot of tabla drummers like Hussain. Literally the only contemporary drummer I've heard that I can really say that about. I think that's why Mingus brought him in.

For me Jazz have sounded like absolute dogshit for the majority of the times I’ve heard it, I don’t know how else to put it. It sounds at times like each person is playing their own song and people just lap that shit up like it’s the most amazing thing they’ve ever heard. I’m not going question their abilities to play their instruments I’m just saying that that’s what I think it sounds like and just because (and this goes for all genres of music) something is crazy difficult to play doesn’t mean it sounds good.
