Joe Morello & Tete Montoliu 12/20/1969 “Sonnymoon for Two” 

Likewise. I've been playing since the 60's and my favorite drummer at the time was Danny Seraphine with Chicago Transit Authority/Chicago, whom I've seen in concert 3 times. And then I discovered Joe's "Take Five". I never really cared for Buddy Rich but I've always place Joe at the top of my list. He is still there. By the way, Bonham, Baker, Seraphine and Mitch Mitchell were all jazz players who also played rock. This jazz background is why they stood out in the crowd of rock drummers. They all had fantastic skills beyond the regular single-stroke rolls in 4/4 time.

Yep. I’ve heard similar stories of him doing insanely fast paradiddles then pushing his glasses back up with his right hand, but not breaking the tempo...all with his left hand.

@@thecrippledrummer Look at 1:20 when he uses his right hand to adjust the cymbal stand while keeping the rhythm on the hi hat with his left. Amazing! I never understood why he didn't tie his bass drum foot pedal to his throne to keep it from creeping away or put a string on his glasses to keep them from sliding down his nose. He never missed a beat (literally!) while constantly adjusting things. I've been playing for 60 years and I am not even 10% as good as he was. He always has been my favorite drummer.

Jorge, the greatest thing all we old 60's jazz musicians have seen in decades is Joan Chamorro's Barcelona band full of kids who are beyond comprehension in their ability to groove, swing and have depth beyond their years.... what's in the water? Send us a case... ha ha....

Yes, definitely not his drums. The cymbals are set up considerably higher than he would as well.

Looks like Pedro Iturralde on tenor - and I'd love to know who the alto player is: sounds fantastic!

@@redinhodaflauta1269 Pedro Iturralde and Vlady Bas

@@jorgegt4339 Thank You very much!

@@redinhodaflauta1269 your wellcome. Jazz is sharing

@@redinhodaflauta1269 the alto player sounds like he's been heavily influenced by Tubby Hayes B.t.w. Tete Montoilu is my fav. pianist his playing is really outside (not so much in this particular clip)check out his playing with Dexter Gordon...fantastic

Anybody can make a good set sound bad if it's not tuned. Ludwig 400 snares are the best there are.

@@jrg1127 Ringos sounded good Dynasonic takes bsck seat to no one

It’s true both Ludwig Senior and Junior were indeed antisemites! My friend, Mike Dubin, whose grandfather was Murray LaShaun who owned Frank’s from shop in Chicago, of course Knew and dealt with the Ludwig’s as he was a major Ludwig Dealer! He told my friend Mike that the Ludwig’s were indeed Jew haters So do you think they gave buddy “bum snare” drums because he was Jewish?! Knowing Buddy to be the snare drum aficionado / snare, drum, freak, that he was he would’ve never put up with a defective snare drum! Although I hated his Ludwig drums from the 70s they sounded like paper! And for a while, Ludwig was making crap in the 90s
