Manu Katche is one of those guys that I’ve never really checked out, and I don’t honestly know why. I’ve been watching videos of him on YouTube the past couple days and I can definitely see why he is so in-demand as a player. He has a very distinctive style, perhaps reminiscent of Stewart Copeland? He definitely doesn’t come across as an overtly technical player, which I really enjoy; his technique seems pretty average but his sound and his ideas are incredible. That being said, I’ve watched some solo videos of Manu as well, and he can definitely bust out the licks.
