<<I also noticed during the final part of What it Is (after the solo where it slows down) that MK faced Danny and called to him to change his drumming (he was hitting the high hat and switched to some cymbals). To me it shows MKs professionalism. He is playing but is aware of what everybody else around him is doing and will signal the other players to speed up or slow down. It also shows that the other band members have to be ready to adjust their playing accordingly. To me you have to have talent AND chemistry to make that work.>>


I could be wrong, but I don't believe that moment had anything to do with MK giving Danny directions. This show is well staged, and MK always faces upstage at that moment to wrap up the song... and Danny is very much aware of what he's doing.

I have seen him give tempo directions before, though, so I think you're spot on there!!
