Yeah, Omar is on a short list with guys who are comfortable in any genre, style, time signature, etc. Above the obvious bottomless well of 'tools' he's got, what he has is a ' fluidity' to his playing...absolutely nothing looks forced, or hard, or done with effort. If Omar was a boxer, he'd be of the ' Sugar' Ray Robinson Or Leonard ilk....who could bury you beneath a flurry of blows that you would never see coming....Another guy who plays like that is Manu Katche`...he plays a lot for Peter Gabriel, but check out his work on Robbie Robertson's disc from 1987...The song 'Showdown At Big Sky'...Both of these guys are thoroughbreds on drums....THE BASTARDS!!:freak::blah::lol:

I had the immense pleasure of meeting Omar several years ago at PASIC when it was in Atlanta. Not only is he an incredible talent, but an all around nice guy. About 60 seconds after speaking with him, Greg Bissonette sat down at a kit directly accross from him, and Greg and Omar traded 8's for about 10 minutes.

 

It was a freakin' incredible and inspirational experience.
