Willie Green, N.O. Suspects, Great American Music Hall 9/20/15

One of the undisputed masters of the New Orleans Second Line clave groove, “Mean“ Willie Green was the driving force behind the Neville Brothers Band for over 30 years. Playing left-handed on a right-handed kit, Willie developed a unique ambidextrous technique. Most right-handed drummers would find it almost impossible to replicate his grooves and sticking patterns precisely. Willie is playing my white marine DW kit, with the Pearl Steve Ferrone signature snare and Sabian cymbals.
