Nice, thank you. So he remembers the reason for Terry leaving were "health issues", interesting.
Also Mark obviously didn't make him feel as a replacement but started it all again.
He doesn't look and sound like a 66y old. Cool guy.

Interestingly Terry Williams had something different to say... He basically said he wasn't happy with his playing on the record six weeks in after listening to some songs. Because he felt that the click tracks they were using hindered his natural feel. His disappointment rubbed off on Mark and they let him go.
Neil Dorfsman had something else to say though, that he felt the drums were an issue. And took it to himself to tell Terry that his parts weren't there yet and sent him home... Oddly enough, Neil does not remember a click track either.
Conflicting information as you can tell. So who knows??
By the way, Terry's whole drum fills were left intact from his drum take while Omar did a straight beat.
Interesting last line. Do you mean just for the drum solo part at the start of MFN or throughout the whole song? So for example at 2'49 there is a fill before the line about "the little f...." as well as various other fills.
Yup, Terry played the while intro drum part,
plus the tom-tom fills you hear for the rest of that song including the one you mentioned. Both Neil Dorfsman and Terry Williams confirmed so in interviews. So Omar re-played the kick, snare, hi-hat and cymbals to the track... Hope that helps.
