Ozric drummer, Balázs Szende

When I ran across this video, I didn't realize Balázs Szende is the actual drummer with Ozric Tentacles.

As noted in my comments below the video, I understand in an interview with Ed Wynne that the drums are deliberate low in the mix so the complexity isn't necessarily apparent without the visual, and would be easy to assume they may be programmed given the extraordinary and odd time signatures. I honestly never paid much attention to this song until seeing this performance. I attended the Technicians of the Sacred tour in Atlanta in 2015.
