This is absolutely the correct take-away. I haven’t watched this guy but I’ve watched a couple videos of Larnell Lewis doing the same thing; and it’s very interesting and informative, it’s less about drumming and more about how to listen. And it’s an important skill to stay employed, I forget exact details but Lewis said something about basically learning the songs for a Snarky Puppy album on the flight to the session. That’s quick learning! And you’re right about the not-stopping; one has to learn that a) nobody’s perfect, and you will occasionally find yourself “not perfect” in the middle of a gig and b) when that happens you have to know how to quasi-improv your way back to knowing where you are and what your part is without disrupting anything.
