Pete Lockett is without any doubt one of the best musicians there are nowadays. As percussionist, drummer and musician he is on the forefront for many years already. In 2016 he played at the Wienfelden International drum festival in Switzerland, and he was so kind to share his footage with us - and even send us commentaries with the videos.
We created a series of Director Cuts from the videos with commentaries about the videos from Pete himself. When listening to Pete about the tracks, suddenly those often hard to grasp percussion rhythms start to make sense. All the videos have Pete explaining about the tracks and the rhythms he is playing, and gives great background stories on the songs as well.

In this Live Version Pete plays Prism on Bongos. In the Commentary Version Pete explains how this piece is set up and gives the right details of the rhythmical phrases he is playing, making it very easy to match Pete's version with the original track that we added with the videos in the article on Drummerszone.com:
