I was on youtube today and saw a fantastic swing/jazz drummer and for the life of me i cant remember his name.He was quite a large african american going through one of his signature grooves and he went on about "not explaining but splaining it"? He grooved while talking directly at the camera and made great bellow laughs and noises at the end of fills.It was fantastic. Please someone must know who this is i think he is relatively famous.

p.s. he explained the fill in quarter, eight 16th notes and then triplets.

That would be the great Bernard Purdie.
