Member Since: 10/12/2006
Band Website: steve_roberts_drums.tripod.com
Band Members: STEVE ROBERTS."However, just as you may be thinking that Szakaly is the sole star of the show, Szakaly and Conlon leave the stage for Roberts to perform a full ten minute one man percussion extravaganza of such quality, such intricacy, such sheer technical ability that he has every last one of the audience on the edge of their seats captivated until they rise as one to give him a richly deserved standing ovation. My guess is Carl Palmer would be as impressed by Roberts percussion work as Emerson is on record as being of Szakaly’s keyboard playing." ROCHDALE ONLINE.
