Mike Clark is funky. His kit also sounds great here:

It's amazing to me Mike Clark remains a background character in the Great Drummer Mythology of Great Drummers. I should have put his name in the under appreciated drummers thread.

I'd have to respectfully disagree about it sounding "odd," which is of course a subjective analysis, but I would also disagree that the articulation gets lost. On the contrary, I think each drum sounds great individually, and as a whole the sounds complement each other. They sound like drums in a day and age when sizes and materials almost become irrelevant with the amount of muffling/triggering etc. that goes on both live and in the studio.
