Hey there BB
A lot of the vids Paul has loaded onto the site highlight this style of playing. I think its about taking from it what you want and then incorporating it into your own style of playing.
For me what JJ does and does extremely well is great for the ensemble that is Flook, I'm not entirely sure it fits regular session playing mind. That's something to keep in mind and try to keep in with the feel of a session and work with what fits.
Also JJ is an accomplished kit drummer working in beats and tones from kit drumming too. For me I enjoy trying new tones harmonics. I've taken from JJ's playing what appeals and drafted into my own style of playing, same with Junior, Jim Tommy, Mel & Frank. I've worked with all of them in the past and introduced elements of their playing to my own but concentrated on my own style augmented by others.
Yep I think to get a heads up on top-end style Paul is setting up a very strong bank of demos on line for us all and more to the point its free. Ideal for home practicing in the dark nights of winter and as the silly season is upon us we can get one on one confirmation of our work at the likes of Craiceann, Drumshanbo etc.
Good luck with it
Mike
