I've seen Danny play 1/16ths that way at 160, at a clinic we had and he said when warmed up, he could do 170. But he wasn't playing them straight out for a minute. Regardless, he was very fast.
He uses no fingers at all. It's stuff straight out of Morello's book, Stone Killer-type exercises played with high full strokes.

just good ol' finger control like weckl?
I can second everything that was said about Gottleib. I saw him do the same thing in a clinic. He played for a bit; bumped the metronome up. He kept bumping it up until he reached 160 as stated. Wrist strokes as V Drummer said. Amazing and not clinical or unmusical in anyway. I should mention he did this with those 2B pink neon sticks [img]graemlins/gulp.gif[/img] he seems to love.
I too can confirm all this about Gotlieb, along with the fact he seems to be a REALLY nice, down to earth guy...
I too, sympathasise about the sticks, they look horrible!!

Just a clarification, he plays Full strokes, loose fingers, with rebound, not "wristed" strokes. Mangini "wrists" his strokes, at a rate of over 20 per second.
Fastest singles I've witnessed are Frank Katz's (BrandX). Kim Plainfield started Frank on drums as a very young kid and told us he had a tremendous amount of raw natural speed right from the start; he couldn't believe. Kim just rounded the edges but it was there since the beginning.
From my experience playing and teaching, I can confirm that some bodies are naturally built for facility and blazing chops...(unfortunately not mine).
Yeah, man, I'm there. Katz is a barn-burner. Dig it. Worthy successor to the Collins/Burgi/Clark BX crown. Also dig Kim on those Connors discs. [img]wink.gif[/img]
Novak, of course, alongside the Vinces, Wecks, & DiCensos of the world, is "Of the Stoopit-Ness" AW. [img]cool.gif[/img]

I recently got Lessons in natural drumming with joe morello and danny gottlieb! and hes got his thing down.
The dvd is well...interesting...pretty badly planned and they are just improvising everything they say therefore sometimes they repeat themselves, the information is not as clear and easy to follow as it could be and joe morello seems to ramble on a bit haha
But its still cool to see those 2 guys in relaxed natural (hence natural lesson in drumming) setting
