Makes myself as a drummer ,seeing the many drummers,different styles,different fell,appreciate that we have these videos to remind us to be humble,if only some of these young kids would listen and learn
One drummer that was not mention is Billy Cobham . The Japanese sign him to represent the Tama as their spokesman . Just saying .Did Freddy Hubbard have any topnotch drummers in his bands ? Freddy Hubbard Blue Note Era was also very good . Many thanks for Part 1 and 2 , it was all great
What a fabulous presentation. Minute 34: "A drummer can make or break a band". That is so true. I saw a very mediocre jazz group years ago, that had a wonderful drummer....that made the group sound unified. He was, by far the superior musician on the stage.
i hate typing too much so ... more briefly ... i stopped into a bar in Newport, RI. A reggae band was playing. people sitting around chillin. band took a break. returned with another drummer. all of a sudden this energy started building. finally we were all on the floor for " Get up, Stand up. " i always believe it was the drummer that turned that band around.
I always appreciated all the drummers that i have seen in my time no matter what genres, rock, Jazz, ja rock fusion never walked out on a drummers solo.!!!
At first I wondered how Buddy only got 4 seconds, but then I realised this really served to bring attention to many of the greats who might have received less spotlight over the course of time.
About Elvin...I've been very lucky to have seen him twice up close, and yes he is perhaps the greatest jazz drummer of all time, but I will tell you...he hits very hard, like as hard as a metal drummer. Wow.
I’d give both of my right arms for that yellow Square Badge Gretsch kit that Elvin used to play in the 70s. But I guess it would defeat the purpose to so. I’ve always loved that kit. Anyway, amazing and very inspiring post. My big takeaway: Connie Kay. His comping is really unbelievable and I will definitely be checking out more of that.
Zach Barnhart! I love that drum set too. Like Tony Williams' drums but with a smaller bass drum and tuned higher. The yellow color is what's so amazing about those drums. I've always thought (to myself) if you play drums with a flashy finish, you better play well....that's why I play drums with with a stain finish. LOL.
@@jeffreyalexander7504 haha! I had a set of Sonor lites in Nitron yellow years ago. It was a bop kit, and I’ll never forgive myself for selling them. But I will say, they didn’t make play any better 😁
Poinciana with Ahmad Jamal on piano, Israel Crosby on bass, and the great Vernel Fournier on drums is and always will be the greatest recording I have ever heard. Hypnotic and seductive, with exciting rhythm, I feel rapture whenever I hear it. Turn up the volume.

There are two kind of Jazz drummers in this world, those with bass drum as big as your house and those whose snare drum is bigger than their bass drum.
These guys are all great, but Elvin Jones was a game changer. Big time. I was lucky to catch him live and he gave me a whole new perspective. He influenced so many drummers and not just in jazz. Tony Williams was another one. They took drumming to another level. There's the greats, then there's Elvin Jones and Tony Williams. Just my take on things based on a lifetime playing drums. Feel free to disagree.
I'm inclined to add Roy Haynes; for my money, the link from the older style of playing to the more modern implied time linear styles of Williams and Jones
It was not possible to include all the drummers in the credits list, but no mention of Danny Richmond, who played for many years with Charles Mingus. Look at Mingus videos if you don't know him, ( "All the things you are," especially ) and you will see why he should get a mention.
Dannie Richmond was really great. What I’ve heard him I’ve never heard to anyone, real swinging.Like Don Moye , another creative, original drummer that makes the drum set floating in the air , rolling like at sea. Both in my opinion are underrated.
Gene Krupa always looked to me like a guy who worked at an office, hated his job and his alter ego was an animal behind the drums where he could really let it all hang out. That's the way drumming makes me feel, like I've become the Mr. Hyde after having to pretend to be the honorable Dr. Jekyll all day.
@@billstrohler You’re right Bill, it is three card molly. I saw Elvin with Trane in 1962 in Detroit Michigan at a place called the Minor Key, I was just 17 years old then. He was an amazing drummer with endless energy. I started playing the drums when I was 16 and he was one of my most favorite drummers. I’ll never forget watching him play that night, it was really something special.
I was just a kid in high school when I saw Sonny Payne with Count Basie at Disneyland. I was completely blown away by his playing. To this day I am still a fan. I will go to TH-cam and watch him with Basie and later with Harry James.A fantastic talent.
you forgot free jazz drummers like Steve McCall of Air, Don Moye of Art Ensemble of Chicago, Barry Altschul of Circle and various others, Sunny Murray with Albert Ayler, and many others. these guys were just as beautiful players as any of the others on your lists.
Man that Roy Haynes solo was immaculate, his tone is incredible!!!!!
15:47 Joe Morello one handed rolls on an inverted grip!😱
gotta be De Johnette talking. another legend. when i was a kid i wanted to be a jazz drummer!. now i am an adult percussionist. god bless all.
This is obviously such a great labor of love. We all owe a debt to the creators of this project!
Definitely influenced me Alvin Jones you have my soul
thank you dad; the great and never late Ben Riley!!!!
Awesome Kimberly! I had the chance to see him with Sphere when I was a kid. Much admiration!
Wow I'm such a fan of your father. His playing with Monk is incredibly inspirational. 💖🥁🎶
Love your dad's work.
Elvin the beast! Ahaha that solo sounds louder than any metalhead
Many thanks from an old drummer.
Joe Morello OUTSTANDING !!!!
Always.
Eric, thank you for posting this! Such wonderful information! 🙏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾

Thank you for the most educative program on jazz drums and explained by none other than master Jack DeJhonnett is priceless
I always appreciated all the drummers that i have seen in my time no matter what genres, rock, Jazz, ja rock fusion never walked out on a drummers solo.!!!
Dang, was surprised that Joe Morello kicked so much ass. This is great stuff Eric!
WOW GLAD I DIDN'T MISS PART 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW is all I can say. Like Guitar players they each had their own individual chops!
..and nt to miss the comments by Roy Haynes.. straight from the heart
At first I wondered how Buddy only got 4 seconds, but then I realised this really served to bring attention to many of the greats who might have received less spotlight over the course of time.
Plus, Buddy had his own two part feature, which was done so well.
This original VHS was geared more towards the drummers of the Bop and Free/Fusion era. Buddy was featured on the Part 1 aimed at the Swing drummers.
Man, I love this! Almost enough to get me off my piano and buy a set of traps.
About Elvin...I've been very lucky to have seen him twice up close, and yes he is perhaps the greatest jazz drummer of all time, but I will tell you...he hits very hard, like as hard as a metal drummer. Wow.
Elvin Ray Jones isn't the greatest drummer of all time. He's definitely one of them.
For sure, Roy still did.it.did.it and did it...
I had to explain why I was laughing to my wife... As best I could...
Great upload and compilation of amazing jazz musicians...Joe Morello's book on drumming was a staple in the early 70's for drum lessons...
Daaaaaaaaaaamn. Just damn! Add to that the craziness of watching Phily Joe with Sun Ra. Crazy! (Crazy GREAT, I mean!)
Man, right?? It’s unbelievable how well he adapts to a musical setting I would never have imagined him in.
I’d give both of my right arms for that yellow Square Badge Gretsch kit that Elvin used to play in the 70s. But I guess it would defeat the purpose to so. I’ve always loved that kit.
Anyway, amazing and very inspiring post. My big takeaway: Connie Kay. His comping is really unbelievable and I will definitely be checking out more of that.
Check out MJQ with Laurindo Almeida playing One Note Samba. Connie Kay at his best.
Zach Barnhart! I love that drum set too. Like Tony Williams' drums but with a smaller bass drum and tuned higher. The yellow color is what's so amazing about those drums. I've always thought (to myself) if you play drums with a flashy finish, you better play well....that's why I play drums with with a stain finish. LOL.
Also Connie Kay with the Dizzy Gillespie Sextet. A completely different Kay.

Very enjoyable Eric! I've been listening to jazz drums all my life and this video represents 60 years of listening in one hour!
This footage is Golden.
That's a wonderful history.
Great that these were saved, hope to see Ahmad Jamal poinciana tune along with his drummer vernal fornier
Poinciana with Ahmad Jamal on piano, Israel Crosby on bass, and the great Vernel Fournier on drums is and always will be the greatest recording I have ever heard. Hypnotic and seductive, with exciting rhythm, I feel rapture whenever I hear it. Turn up the volume.
Thank you! You turned me onto something new. Gratitude!
Looks like you've got it all zipped ,a big thanks to you sir.
Thank you,
such an amazing time, the waves of inspiration continue.
Just FANTASTIC.
Perfect time.

Nice video. Shout out for Alan Dawson, who was a special talent.
Tony Williams teacher, nuff said!!!!
That Mel Lewis solo is supernatural
The control, musicality, and the technique - wow!
It was so beautifully done.
Great Video!
the real good cake in the table
Whow very interesting! Thanks

35:54 = And the D beat / Skan - Mosh part beat was born
incredible

There's the greats, then there's Elvin Jones and Tony Williams.
Just my take on things based on a lifetime playing drums.
Feel free to disagree.
Roy too
And Art
drummerboy1390 ...Kenny Clarke is the father of the modern jazz drummers, PERIOD!!!
no you're right on with that
I'm inclined to add Roy Haynes; for my money, the link from the older style of playing to the more modern implied time linear styles of Williams and Jones
This is fantastic.
GREAT JOB MAN
sh*t, Brubeck and group genius.

Bellson mentions D. Richmond when talking about drummers who were influenced by Art Blakey at 23:28
Dannie Richmond was really great. What I’ve heard him I’ve never heard to anyone, real swinging.Like Don Moye , another creative, original drummer that makes the drum set floating in the air , rolling like at sea. Both in my opinion are underrated.

Well said!!!
41:20 WHAT!!!?
Thanks man!
love it!!
The bebop dracula :')
👍
Topissime
Hi I’m trying to find any recordings of Dave King, session drummer with Lou Preager and Joe Loss - thanks in advance for any help you can give me :).
Jóia!
58:20 min......mammamia
This is very interesting. Anyone know the song Elvin is playing at 54:00?
Never mind I think I found it. Three Card Molly
@@billstrohler You’re right Bill, it is three card molly. I saw Elvin with Trane in 1962 in Detroit Michigan at a place called the Minor Key, I was just 17 years old then.

@@chuckc7375 What an amazing event to witness. He's such a legendary and amazing drummer and you got to see him live.
@@billstrohler I sure did, and I’ll never forget it. He had tremendous facility, and so did Coltrane.
Where’s the whole video of Sonny Payne with Count Basie?
On you tube.
@@farshimelt I've tried finding it but I could only find the drum solo or different variations of Ol Man River.
I was just a kid in high school when I saw Sonny Payne with Count Basie at Disneyland. I was completely blown away by his playing. To this day I am still a fan. I will go to TH-cam and watch him with Basie and later with Harry James.A fantastic talent.
@@jimbaker4931 Wow, you are absolutely lucky!!!
@@jimbaker4931 Wow, you are absolutely lucky!!!
Covered pretty well but, hell man, you don't leave out Alfonse Muzon.
Where's part 1?
The best of all is missing , the Legendary Gene Krupa.
There is a Part One. He is probably in that.
Louie Bellson narrating.
i need this sub on spanish :d

Wow. More Clave Wayne!
More than one drummer got a chance at playing with the greats when Philly Joe got too chemical.
Lol
crow in the head
Andre Previn swings nearly as well as Maria McPartland.
