Well I just finished watching YES live and was compelled to say how much I enjoyed Alan White's playing with the band and for the music.
Alan White was there and he was excellent. I remember thinking how cool it was that he was playing his Ludwigs when everyone else there were playing their Sonors, Tamas and other new school sets. Remember, this was the early 90's before Ludwig started coming back. Very, very underrated drummer.
Alan White doesn't usually come up first when talking about fave drummers, but he is very underrated.
Yes, very under-rated.
Some really nice playing on Relayer, his first studio album with Yes, and thereafter.
When he joined the band, after Bruford's departure, he had literally days to learn a very complex Yes set before going on tour.
That's right I just found out he was the drummer on 'Instant Karma" too cool.Don't forget, he also played in the Plastic Ono band (John Lennon).
