My beloved brother Tony has been drumming for 45+ years, and has been an ardent Frank Zappa fan for about as long. Besides being an ace drummer, he has, shall we say, "drummer's perfect pitch": whatever the drummer is doing in any track he listens to, goes straight to his muscle memory and stays there.
Just after New Year's Day he graced a few of us by playing his electronic drumset to three Frank Zappa tracks. Here is Florentine Pogen from One Size Fits All (1975)
Here is the medley Oh No - Orange County Lumber Truck -Trouble Every Day from Roxy and Elsewhere (1974)
And finally, St. Alphonzo's Pancake Breakfast from Apostrophe' (1974). He rather modestly pointed out, "I'm barely ready to play this one."
