    A beautiful guy, a really great musician. He was one of the best. And he put a lot of work into being great. Read up on him. You'll learn about dedication to craft and how it pays in full. RIP Joe. I respect you to the heavens.

    For me, this DVD was one of the greatest ever made of some of our American Drumming Legends. I am saddened by the loss of Joe, Charli, and Ben, and I sincerely love watching these Great Drummers in this DVD. Thanks and Blessings!

      I love how he says playing brushes is "an individual thing". He told one of his students that he did not want the student to be like him because "one of me is enough". He liked the students to be their personal best. How great and humble is that! Always the gentleman. He was my inspiration in the 60's and continues today, even though he is gone.

    The most impressive in drums music, it's not how loud and even fast you can beat, but how smooth you can get. Looking at this play, I think for myself: "holycrap it's mad skill!!!" and it chills me so deep, that no metal, rock and so on, can do

    • @vikt1m1337
      @vikt1m1337 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      ***** Nope, it isn't. Are you aware that a lot of metal is heavily influenced by jazz? You have to train your ears, look past the growling and the blast beats ( blast beats or skank beat is used in jazz as well) and you'll have a chance of enjoying it. It's not for everybody, just the same jazz isn't for everyone. I'm glad I can enjoy both.

      I play metal and jazz, and that is not really true. Metal is rock and roll and therefore mostly relies on the back beat and straight eighth notes, where as most jazz does not. Let's establish a lot of metal, particularly blasting, is based off of sixteenths where as jazz carries a triplet feel. Not to mention most metal drummers cannot swing a sack of shit for their lives, and I mean swing with actual feel, not swing because they have the technique to do it.

    I'm not the drummer in the family theory and nuances of the technique are well over my head. I just discovered this man from a link someone posted on "The Amazing Era Of The L.A. Session Men" containing a solo where Joe starts out with just his hands then moves to sticks. The control he has is quite impressive no matter what he's doing or what he's doing it with. Love that thing he's got happening there 3:00-3:03; takes NO time at all to get me moving to that groove!!

    Krupa and Rich were teen faves when I started getting into jazz forty years ago. Then I discovered the Dave Brubeck Quartet. Joe Morello was THE force behind Brubeck,for whom none of his different time signature pieces would have been as fully realized as they were. The sublimity of drummers like Morello,Max Roach,Ed
    Thigpen,Elvin Jones,etc.,is lost because some people hear a drummer,but they're not LISTENING to the drummer! I give Buddy points for making the drums popular,
    but there is more.

Critics do what they do because they have no talent. So they criticize. And Joe's dead. So what does it get you? Give the guy his due. He went through a lot and still was a monster.

    @johanisu 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @jeffkahl He's actually got the snares on; notice how snare snap sound when he's explaining the left hand accent. However a lot of drummers do play snares off. One advantage is that you get rid of snare buzz, which is much more noticeable on quiet tunes. It also gives a softer sound; it's not so 'attacky'. It's the same deal with mallets. As Morello says it's all completely a personal choice. Experimentation is the key.

    As I get better as a drummer, it thrills me to find I’m getting there not only with jazz material such as expounded by masters such as Joe Morello, but also with some tricky rock and pop material. There are great drummers to be found in all genres of music.
    Bearing that in mind, what a shame that a thread about the great Joe Morello should descend into a slanging match and worse about Travis Barker. Surely, there is room for those who like JM and TB - as well as some who might like both.

    I took from Joe when I was 13. Later I did two sets with the actual father of Rock & Roll Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup (just us) in a small club and the sound was better blended with one guitar and his voice to use brushes on some songs... Suddenly during one he looked at me and nodded for a solo.. Well, I was pretty good with the brushes and rhythm, but wasn't expecting a 5 minute solo then, the first time I played with Arthur. But it was fine, and still am sad the recorder I brought malfunctioned.
