Sick Six Drummer the Sickest Dude Alive?

As regular readers are aware, we're pretty big fans of The Strokes around here.

It's been a quiet three (soon to be four) years for the group as a collective, but individually the guys have been banging out solo albums left and right.

On November 3, lead singer Julian Casablancas became the fourth Stroke to release a solo disc, an 8-song epic called Phrazes for the Young (that streetwise "z" ought to silence those critics who complain the band's just a group of prep school posers).

In the run-up to the release, Julian and his band, The Sick Six, played lead single "11th Dimension" on The Tonight Show. To most, the performance was notable for Julian's much-maligned dance moves.

Not so for the Glass Man. For me it was all about the man handling the sticks. Clad in an 80's era Mets jacket similar to the one a fiery 4-year-old A.F.O.M.G. used to rock in Riverside Park and born with striking, if nonetheless somewhat goofy looking, features, this guy owned the show.

But you know what, don't take my word for it. See for yourself... Exhibit A, the man in all his glory:

Exhibit B (really going for it in this one):

And Exhibit C, taking a well-deserved breather after a job well done.

Honestly, I hope this guy never changes. I looked and looked for his name but couldn't find it anywhere; if someone's got it please let me know. Hell, if someone's got contact info send that along too, I'd kill for an interview. We've got to build this drummer up any way we can.

With the Mets jacket and Dodgers hat, I wonder if Fred Wilpon outfitted him.
