He was an amazing drummer in high school back in the late 1980s and has only gotten better with time. I remember just listening to him play back in high school where he and I were in the school marching band together and thinking that he was gonna do big things in his life and he absolutely has.

That has got to be a personal thrill for you to see a talent like Keith grow, and keep growing. Obviously a LOT of people in the music biz saw it too. Keith is among the rare fraternity of drummers that have the distinction of playing with Steely Dan.👍

UNT pride... A guy from our high school cut his teeth in the 1990's Deep Ellum scene. Check out Michael Jerome -- he plays for Richard Thompson and Better Than Ezra these days. I didn't know the technical aspect of drumming back then, but it was clear to see he was an athletic powerhouse behind the kit. Special talent is easy to spot.

Hey Keith!!!! What did I tell you many years ago at the 55 Bar! Much love to you my brother . Remember late at the end of the night when we would hang and I said congrats to to on what you were offered with Steely Dan and Sting, I hope that you hung up that very very old octagon Stain glass somewhere in your pad. Sincerely yours and God Bless you and your family Chris Brennan! Hurry Slowly a minute at a time and life keeps getting better ! Inner peace!!!!

That left foot never loses time he has the fills and rolls of a drum corps band leader make no mistakes about it , most of all us drummers don’t have this deep understanding of time muscle memory syncopation, effortlessly switching between triples and doubles left hand leading if you’re a fan of technical musicianship then this man is not only a cut above he’s up there with the greats , maybe not the top of the list but definitely on it along with Danny Carey , buddy rich , gene Krupa, Neil peart , John bohnam, these are the type of drummers that leave an eternal mark

I feel really old considering that I've been listening to Steely Dan since like 1972. I remember listening to them when I was building models as a 7-year old child in my "model building room" in our basement. They have become my go-to favorite! I also love Donald Fagen's solo work. What an incredible songwriter he is as well. As a drummer as well, I love KC's style. I wish the sound quality on this solo was a lot better, but it is what it is. He's a pleasure to watch, for sure!! Thanks for sharing this, Gentry! Good stuff!! My son was a stagehand for Steely Dan some years back. I raised my boys to love SD, and they listen to them this day. In fact, that same son "borrowed" all of my SD CD's about fifteen years ago and I haven't seen them since....go figure.
