Olsson had released a solo album in 1971 called Nigel Olsson's Drum Orchestra and Chorus and in the wake of his departure from John's group, he cut a self-titled album for John's Rocket label.
Olsson spent much of the '90s away from music, aside from the occasional recording session, but in 2000 he rejoined John's band once again and the following year he released a sequel to his debut, Nigel Olsson's Drum Orchestra and Chorus Vol.

Pianist/vocalist John is sometimes singing, sometimes screaming the words "Love to love today" repeatedly while drummer Nigel Olsson pounds out one powerful drum fill after another, each one building on the previous one, as the two-act song moves to its close.
Fortunately, it was also the tune Olsson elected to play from the CD for 35 Berklee students when he gave a talk on campus last month.
Olsson sprinkled his clinic with several stories from the days when his running buddies were fellow drummers Ringo Starr, from the Beatles, and the Who's Keith Moon.

I don't read for one and I'm imagining all kinds of people asking me, 'Is that a paradiddle?' and other kinds of technical questions that I haven't a clue to what any of it means.
