I saw an amazing cuban percussionist doing this, the hand rolls over as if turning a door handle. It's so quick and subtle and it's hard to get use too, but it leads to a more efficient movement around the kit you can generate power without any(effectively) arm movement. The cuban percussionist was playing incredibly fast figures without using his fingers!!! So it can honed to a very high level, I noticed JR using his fingers, almost upside down at times!! This works in conjunction with the wrist movement. JR is so very good. He's so focused and in the music when he plays..a great master.

JR is the last Living Drumming Legend as far as drummers of the old generation are concerned, to be here still with us on this earth. We lost Jeff, Carlos but I am so happy that John is the last living witness of that Unbelievable era where Music was made to last forever. Besides his amazing playing "less is more", he has such a humble and sweet attitude towards Music and Life in general. I have the proof of this because a few years back, I wrote to him an email telling what I could have improved about my playing: Guess what? I was amazed because the same day he was so kind to write to me back giving me tips about some technical challenges I had at that time with my drumming. He is truly a Mega-Legend in every aspect. God bless you John, all the very best to you, your life, and your Family. Carus Alambra😃😃😃👍👍👍

It's also stupid to say that anybody is "worshipping" him "just because he is associated with MJ in some way." Speaking for myself, I only came to learn who he is after hearing his playing on one of Madona's greatest hits. However, his association with MJ goes back to "The Jacksons" so if Madona trusted him in the studio and on tour and MJ continued to trust him well into his solo career, then maybe he's a little better than just "second rate." It's OK if he's not YOUR cup of tea...but to come on here and claim anybody's "worshipping" him just because his name was mentioned and then to go on and try to down him the way you did, well, that's really dumb and just smacks of bitterness.

"Rock With You" or "Burn This Disco Out" are my favorite MJ's song, both on "Off The Wall", I'm a HUGE MJ's fan, so picking one song only is kind of very hard, but if one, it must be "Rock With You". Both songs written by the late genius named Rod Temperton.

I was a staff member at Westlake when Roddy was producing Siedah Garrett's first album. Gave him a ride home once to his house off the 405. He actually gave me song writing advice during our 20 minute drive. He was very nice to me.

UNless he did the Jackson tours of the album, I doubt he ever played it again after recording it... but who knows?

He’s a recording drummer. Probably played this an easily countable number of times.
