Up & coming baby monsters of Jazz

With so much jadedness surrounding what's new in Jazz, it was so refreshing to meet & listen to Brooklynite Colin Stranahan, a young turk from the Thelonius Monk Institute of Jazz who besides playing with the institute quintet, burned it up with Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, the other night:

Who are some of the brave new voices in jazz drums that you think are worth checking out?

Maybe this thread can serve as a repository for youtube or other links to these yet unseen baby monsters...

Trying to put my finger on it, he reminds me in some way of Peter Erskine's earlier work for some reason. I mean that in a tasteful way.

..looks a little like him too..( well, like Pete used to ; )
