Roy castle held ( and i believe still does) the record for being able to play more intsruments than any other person. Great sketch. Thouroughly good entertainment. many thanks for posting!
That’s the way to do a drum battle AND make it entertaining for non-musicians! And I’ve only just noticed how Russ uses the old “whipping cream” technique for his rolls! Old school jazz trick beloved of Buddy Rich
Great clip, great talents, you don't those all-rounder guys nowadays, being a drummer I always looked out for this clip on here as i remember seeing it years ago when I was a boy.
acutally I think Roy held teh world record for being able to play teh most number of musical intruments (he was also able to play the kitchen sink - littereall, by putting a mouthy pice on the you bend, and using the pipe and sink like a giant copper and ceramic horn)
Roy Castle is commonly associated with the Trumpet but he was an accomplished alround musician. Piano, Drums, Flute and even that most difficult of instruments, the Ballpoint Pen Tube. Only the good die young. He is still missed.
