In the late 60's. I studied with him at Rhythm Associates. Also on staff was Freddie Waits, Joe Chambers and Warren Smith. Rudy would sometimes give me a ride to NJ near my house. Great times.
Rudy was a tremendous drummer with a lot of power and very good technique. To me, he was like a blending of Max Roach and Art Blakey. He was a student of a good friend of mine, Sam Ulano. Yes, his Rogers sound fantastic here. I think that Buddy Rich was also playing Rogers at the time, and Louie Bellson would be playing them soon thereafter as well. Very hip solo by an excellent drummer.
thanks for the comment! it's really nice to hear a bit of backstory on him. i'm personally a huge fan of art blakey and i hear the connection. Much appreciated!
He knocked me out!!!!!! I know it's extremely dumb n unprofessional to compare!!! But I'm sorry this cat is a better soloist than Blakey . Roach Cole. Bellson.. n many more!!!!!
WOW, never heard of this man, excellent time keeping with the left foot and superb musicality with feel for latin rhythms. Fantastic

I had never heard of him before now and he’s an instant favorite! That’s also the classiest drum kit I’ve ever seen.
I was thinking the same thing. This cat was (is?) good and those vintage Rogers drums in that finish are incredible!
Awesome hand wrist technique of course musicality…an excellent excellent drummer. Needs to be recognized!
Hear hear
I agree 100% needs to be recognized.. the cat knows how to solo
I mean he reminded me a bit of gene Krupa

Classy. Beautiful kit too. Power and finesse. Those cymbals sound real splashy.
The triplets are mind blowing!
Totally groovy 👉🏼🥁🤎

Go Rudy GO!! OUTSTANDING! Give that man a towel 😅
You can walk cool, talk cool, dress cool, act cool…
But you’ll never be as cool as Dizzy!!
Those Rogers sound pretty great!
And the drummer wasn't too bad either 😉
Smokin’!! Absolutely smokin!!
At the time "Roger's drums were the most sought after drums because of their pure sound😊
They were a hardware company like Camco. Rogers did not make shells like Ludwig and Slingerland. Rogers used Jasper shells.
