One of the best examples of Chester's playing, I think, is the You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Vol 2 disc by the 74 Zappa band...he plays some SCARY stuff on that disc...and at blazing speeds. With Humphrey, he is subdued, but by himself driving that band he wails.

I read somehwere that Frank's fave band was the one Chester was in.

Chester Thompson is a badass drummer...Three Sides is one my favorites of all time....Listen to the track "Dodo" on Three sides.....
