I would've loved to have seen that clinic! I'm not familiar with any 
Little
Feat (although recommendations are welcome), but I really enjoy his 
playing
on S 'n' S! As for ghost notes, well, that's a big part of a few of 
my favourite
drummers' vocabulary, Bill Bruford being chief among them (a couple

I'd throw that in there!).
