I originally posted this series of interviews with Jeff "Tain" Watts back in 2010 and they are still up on youtube.com so I recently decided to watch these again and repost for a little motivation and inspiration:
Here's a great JazzTimes article on the legacy and innovations of Watts:

And a couple more clips to remind us of what a bad ass he is on the drums!
Interesting interview. Jeff's way of learning through listening mirrors my own approach, so it is easy to understand him.
