A master drummer if ever there was one, Joe married awesome technique to great taste and creativity.

Here are some clips and an obit for Joe. His work with Garland and Brubeck was simply awesome! RIP http://www.allvoices.com/contributed-ne ... rello-dies

Morello was my earliest influence on the drums and I tried to copy his practice method and did for a long time as a kid. His technique is the best I ever saw and in the late 80's I met him him for the second time here in Nashville at a clinic and the mans touch was superb and he was totally blind at that point. You had to audition to take lessons from him!
