Gheorghe Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 Oh he was a wonderful drummer. I know him from record only from the Steeplecheese sessions of Dex in Denmark, there are many of them but I think I have "Cheesecake" and "I Want More" or so, and it´s a very good drumming and you can HEAR it. I like Dexter´s announcements, when he says "our trommelschlager: Alex.......Reeeeeeeeeeel ! REALLY !" 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
