    If you younger drummers haven't checked out some of the Mahavishnu Orchestra stuff, you should. There's some amazing drumming, not to mention songs, on those albums!

    Exactly!! My favorite is The Inner Mounting Flame. Just totally brilliant!

    Funny you mention this band. I am in the last of my religion class and our team wrote on Hinduism. We spoke of Vishnu and Gods like Shiva. Well, as i did my writing, I had to put on the Inner Mounting Flame.

    I remember buying Mahavishnu's "Birds Of Fire" from a second hand music store for three dollars over here.

    "One Word" from Birds Of Fire.
