DRUMMER CAFE

Usually, if someone is shaking out their wrists after each song, it means that they are  in pain.  If you're playing in pain, something is wrong.  Ergonomically speaking, your wrist doesn't bend sideways.  Compare that to Ndugu's setup, where his rides are almost vertical, but placed so that he still strikes the cymbal in an up and down motion, and not a side to side motion.

Now, Brann might have just been nervous, and shaking his wrists out was a nervous tic.  Even so, when you are playing fast and hard like that, ergonomics are not something to be ignored.  Especially when you're playing like that every night.

My first impression when I read about Dailor shaking his wrists was he was trying to loosen up.  He has very definite reasons for why he has his kit set up the way it is.

I do the same thing, for me it's nerves.

Yep.  If he was any more relaxed, hed be asleep!  That dude is so fluid.  Not my style of play but certainly fun to watch.
