Okay, I'll bite, get this topic moving. Didn't Leon say he can't play a double bass drum like his dad, and keeps things SIMPLE !!! But I have never seen a video of him playing the 12 minute long Caravan complete with bass string tricks. I'd like to, but don't even know if he does that. Sorta have to to in order to keep the tradition moving, eh?  It's been really rewarding watching him grow from uncertainty (Oh Lord, forgot the CD's title with the new Leon short intro to Five-O) shortly after his dad's death to the confidence in his own style I see on fairly recent videos. He's not imitating his dad, he's playing his own style, That's why the INK interview is so good . . . look at all the influences he lists! NONETHELESS, he plays like his father's son. Jus' a lil' jazzier n' lighter, I think.
