I’ll never forget 1979 Zildjian ‘Day in LA’ drum clinic. Everyone was there to see Steve Gadd. No disrespect to Steve Gadd, but Alex stole the show!

Alex is a very good example that to be an awesome drummer you don't have to kill the kit like Cobham. Just keep perfect rhythm. I've always been in awe of Alex in how he can hol d the same beat throughout an entire cut

My wife's Peruvian and we've been to Lima many times. Once I was lucky enough to see Alex play outdoors in front of a 1700 year old pre-Inca pyramid in the middle of the city. He was amazing.

Super! Alex is so cool, I was living in L.A. when Heavy Weather came out such an impact musically. Saw them perform it and everything else at Santa Monica Civic.

Alex is a percussive monster.

Alex Acuna 🥁 🪘🎶🎵 Humble Human Being I've ever met. I'm grateful for his kindness and mentorship during his days playing with the Band Koinania in Los Angeles California in the 1980's. Continued Blessings Sir Acuna 🥁🎶🎵

Alex is one of my heroes, since I play both traps and congas/bongos & percussion. My congas and bongos are the very same Alex Acuna Gon Bops that he plays in this video. Thanks to Alex for all the inspiration and great music!

The universe opened up to Alex Acuna in large part because he plays with such musical integrity.

Great video. I have seen Acuna live on stage several times but his clinics are awesome. I recall him saying he could play virtually any style of music on a clave' feel. He demonstrated rock, jazz, and of course Latin rhythms while keeping a clave' going and that was amazing.

Thank you for getting these two legends together. I've been listening to these guys seemingly all my life and to hear them just shoot it and reminisce is just simply inspiring.
