Drummer
James Bradley Jr.
Looks like the very spirit of the sideman - brow intent,
eyes unsmiling, face masked in hazy boredom. When Los Angeles
television station KTLA signed him to a 26-week contract
last month, no one was surprised: Bradley is an exceptional
drummer. He can play three-beat rhythms with one hand while
he plays four-beat with the other. He can switch hands instantly
to travel from the bone-dry clatter of the wood block to
the rich depth of the snare. He can embark on one beat,
switch to another, then return to the original with-out
a hitch. He never misses a rim shot, and his timing is faultless.
What is more, James Bradley Jr. is only four.
