"I wanted to be, like, the first black Rambo, bro."
This man is so endearing. What a legendary drummer.

Chris is humble, honest, a phenomenon drummer, natural, really funny, he has rethoric and his eyes smiles.
I really liked this interview. Thanks.

Awesome to learn about Chris. We all love him so much. Although Berklee told me "um, not now", I went on the road as a pro drummer with a fresh high school diploma at 17 with a bunch of Berklee grads. 5 years later, I wanted off the road for a family and jumped on a bread truck for 43 years, with gigs only on Saturdays. Retired now, except for gigging, I feel liked my life has been a great dream come true!

This is so powerful for all of us to hear about the importance of trusting what you feel and having an inner guide. We all have to negotiate with the inner fire that gives us our ability to feel the burn and motivation of our desire. While the expectation and social~cultural valuation of what we bring and the depth of skill and talent is very different (thank you Chris Coleman) there is a spiritual power that comes forward when we listen to our "gut". That most of Chris's had been removed for IBS (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) tells us how powerfully Mr Coleman feels it and knows it. This is Pure Gold.

Great interview. Life throws challenges at us constantly. I’ve been playing guitar haphazardly for 50 years and just recently made a commitment to start again and learn it correctly such as learning keys, notes of the fretboard etc.
