Most people don't realize that Stevie played all the instruments on most of his early albums ... drums, guitar, bass, keyboards ... everything. An incredibly talented musician. (Brian McKnight is similarly talented, and played all the instruments on his debut album as well).

I went to Stevie’s live in Yokohama in 1982. This might be a video taken in some other city, probably Tokyo. I still remember he started saying “I think I wanna play drums”! His live went on for 2.5 hours, and from “Sir Duke”, non-stop hit songs medley. That was my first & best live experience. Thank you, Stevie!

Set a metronome to his playing. Then, get back to me. He is off. His timing is terrible. Now, does it matter? No. Not at all. He is an amazing drummer as far as making up a groove. His drum parts are incredible. He is more talented than I will ever be. but, I can keep time better than him. So?

Erik Larson Where's your fucking video? Shut the fuck up, then. Btw, you need to gouge out your eyes first. That has nothing to do with him being blind. Seriously, though... you can see where drums are on any set before sitting down. He has to feel how the kit is set up or remember from previous set ups. If the drum tech changes just ONE thing, or if something is just SLIGHTLY off, that will mess up his timing. Fuck off, Loser.

And the groove thing... Stevie Wonder has plenty of groove - he proved that to the world in his first few years at Motown with "Fingertips." Then you've got "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" and "I Was Made to Love Her" and plenty of others - all before the guy was even 20 years old. But I highly doubt anyone would call the drum solo "groovy" if they only heard the solo and had no idea who it was. The point here, I think, was that he CAN PLAY the drums well. Not a textbook example of a groove.
