Best drumming performance of all time. I'm not shitting you.

: I really want to appreciate Bill like

: the greatest drummers of all time, and I
: realize this is only my first Yes album, but
: I'm just straining to hear what makes him so
: special. Just as a side note, I always tend
: to have this problem with drummers; it took
: forever for the greatness of Stewart
: Copeland to dawn on me, for example. I
: definitely think the problem is on my end,
: not Bill's.

: So could somebody give me a specific song,
: instance, or section to watch out for on
: Fragile as far as drumming is concerned?
: That would be greatly appreciated.
