Doesn't really do a long drum solo in the set anymore - just a short version, so had me wondering if his style had changed over the years. These two examples are 38 years apart 1975 and 2013 . Obviously you don't get the sound or feel from these clips, but what do you reckon ? I always liked the fact he doesn't need such a big kit.
1975
2013

Can't stand drum solos... they are the most f*cking boring things ever
However, the 1975 clip was better to watch as in the 2013 clip he spent far too much time doing snare drum rolls.

Think I am in a minority here so far . I think its an opportunity to appreciate the drummer. Here is a bit of Coghlan Cam from 2015, just wish they had let it roll on more !

At most Gigs, not just Quo, the Drum solo was always the point where the toilets were rammed full ! 😂
That’s no disrespect to John’s ability.

I have to say Jeff is a more versatile drummer than John. John is famous for his shuffle drumming style, whereas Jeff can work his hand to any style. I remember Jeff doing a drum clinic at my Primary School 14 years ago and it was amazing. October 2005, still got 2 signatures of his from that day. Jeff I could truly watch drum for hours on end cause I love the way he plays Cheers |

They do the same solo at every show anyway... so if you've seen it once, you've seen it. Matt was doing the same drum solo for years just like Leon is nowadays |

Whilst you were all at the loo this happened ....
Maybe it's because I have absolutely no rhythm whatsoever that I like them . I struggle to clap in time to Quo songs ffs!

But personally I HATE what he did to the Quo sound and how almost every FF-era song-tempo was ruined and made to sound bombastic at times. For Quo [and for me, I s'pose] it has to be JC, having said that I had no problem with Pete's 'deputising' or Matt's work either. 'To each his own' I guess! |
