You don't have to throw shade on all other drum solos just because you like this one.

Those drums need tuning and he needs to take a lesson or two from Mr Rich

@@MrDougiew1 Tuned how? But Rich isn't as musical. That's what counts.

Protocol of joy. 😊

What's a drum clinic?

Where you should be.😂😂😂😊

That's what I was going to say!!! Well said Mike!

Something that is dearly lacking these days.

​@@easterneuropeantracksuit3312sadly true

For sure

AND HOW!!!🥁🥁🥁

He was too handsome! I was always distracted by his good looks. He was a good man that was kind to children. Appreciated you Joe Jones!

Speed, dynamics and volume control. Papa Jo could draw you in, like he was whispering a secret to you. He always leaves me wanting more. I would much rather watch a master like him, Joe Morello or Gene Krupa, than a drummer who just attacks, like Buddy Rich.

Thats his standard set, Papa Joe could literally play a gig with a pair of brushes and a phone book.

no need to put down modern music

Nicely put and very accurate!! Papa was the stuff.

I know what you did. I had a band in the 80's and that was one of our faves. I didn't have a percussionit so also played the cowbell part. Thank you Sir for that walk down memory lane!

Very cool that Papa Joe suggested the Paiste flat ride. He's a magician on the drums! Btw BOC were the first band I ever saw live at the Capital Center in Largo MD, Uriah Heep opened.

bought my first kit at Frank's in 1969!

Bought my first kit at Frank's in 1975. Slingerland kit with Paiste cymbals. Only had $400 cash on me. They trusted ne for the remaining $100. The hi-hats, coincidentally, were Paiste Formula 602 Sound Edge hats, which I still use to this day. Hanging out with Jo at his crib on East 64th street, I got to check out his hats, which were old A. Zildjians, a thin 13" Top and a Paperthin bottom, maybe 12-3/4", anyway, slightly smaller than the top cymbal. Felt blessed that my first hi-hats, also fairly light, were very much in a Jo Jones mode...Jo used to say, "I was never a player, I was always a listener, and look who I got to listen to." As such, my limitations being manifest, I always aspired to be a good listener on the drum kit.

True! This feels like a knock on Neil Peart though 😢

Sitting at a drumset is winning the lottery

i have been a drummer for 45 years and this is the first time I heard of Papa Jo.

I noticed his great posture too although i didn't see an angel anywhere.
