Pat Mastelotto,
Gavin Harrison,
and Bill Riefl in
by Michael Parillo
“It’s doing everything that drummers normally do, but in an entirely
diff erent way.” So says Bill Riefl in, the latest drummer to join the
venerated progressive-rock group led by guitarist Robert Fripp. And
“diff erent” is certainly what we’ve come to expect from the professor
and his revolving cast of musical brothers—though no one could have
predicted the sheer magnitude of KC’s latest percussive onslaught.
