  • I've seen Lionel Hampton (must have been in his eighties)and Buddy Rich(still got the autograph)and both were freaking awesome.Missed Gene...bummer.

  • Comment removed

  • I actually met Mr. Hampton when I was in the 6th grade. He was very kind and gracious and spent several minutes chatting with me after the show. I remember he had a black and white drum set and at one point was playing with three sticks , keeping one in the air, and a strobe light going. It was a wild scene. A great drummer.

  • todos los q hablan mal de travis barker.. es xq no saben lo q es tocar la bateria o no saben de musica! bye..

  • WHERE IS THE REST OF THIS PERFORMANCE.

  • @albertocristoff Honestly, where is the rest of the performance strideeeer? Thanks for the post.

  • Travis Barker is an ass.

  • Very Cool.... And hey, there's always going to be fans of a tide, or followers of followers, textbook experts etc. Here we hear and see the real thing. Not rock band idols, sexy girl/boy drummers or the current idols...just three of the best EVER. Check out the synergy of Hampton and Krupa and the wayside kink of syncopated indifference from Hamilton! Just a wonderful treasure here.

  • This 'Travis Barker' fellow, (who prior to reading some of these hopeless comments I had never even heard of) couldn't kiss the ground these legend classic drummers walk on much less play in their league!!!! This comes after listening to this Travis tramp.

  • love the stick flipping. This is epic

  • Anyone who thinks Krupa is overrated just doesn't get it, I'm sorry! No one after him had as good of feel and touch for the drums!

  • @TheHeater90 Buddy Rich? Although of a entirely different musical genre, Neil Pert (Rush) is no slouch either. But calling Krupa "overrated" is just pure ignorance.

  • @TheHeater90 They are just lucky Ringo Starr wasn't on a fourth pedestal.

  • Keith Moon was better.

  • @EICHOLZtheEXPERT Now you're just embarrassing yourself. Keith Moon fanboys are a joke, he was an interesting drummer and wrote some cool stuff with The Who, but to say he's better than these greats is laughable. He doesn't even come close to these guys on technicality, or general musicianship. It's like how people say that Travis Barker is the best drummer because they like Blink 182, they're just masking stupidity with ignorance.

  • This is the time when drum playing was all about experimentation, perfecting the craft, striving for excellence and completeness...When and how the fuck did it go wrong (in the larger scale)?

  • Masters of the sticks

  • 00:54, Lionel Hampton, mano derecha.

  • por que nunca los contemplaron para los beatles siendo ellos mil veces mejor ke ringo star

  • @PALU440 Muy Cierto, Los Beatles Han Sido , Para Mi, Junto A Nirvana , Los Rolling & David Bowie, El Primer Lugar En Bandas De Rock Influyentes Del Siglo 20, Una De Las Mejores Del Mundo.. pero Ringo... Diria Que Es Uno De Los Bateristas Mas Sobrevalorados Del Globo.. Solo Ha Hecho un Solo Oficial Y Su Tecnica Es Debil.. A Mi Parecer..

  • i can remeber hampton's voice !!!

    "haaaaaaaaaarrrr"

  • I always enjoy to see how joyful is to play drums for Lionel hehehe, that's really cool ^^

  • Gene Krupa is just a shadow of a drummer!!

  • jazz style baby :)

  • Gene won,

    cuz he white

  • HOLY COW...! The All star, all time greats of drumming, jazz, and big band on ONE stage...darn I wish we could ask for autographs over youtube...!

  • Wooww!!! :)

  • nobody here gives a stinky fuck about travis farkley bitch

  • Good drumming, looks weird were they're on podiums like Gold, Silver, Bronze. Poor Chico!! I'm off to search for Lionel Hampton. YOUTUBE!!

  • @thereforeimustbegod Oh my god get the fuck out. Barker is fucking shit. he only plays fucking loud. you don't know shit about drums man. Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa are the guys that started it. You don't compare with the big boys. your just a stupid ass troll.

  • @dreadss64 Joe Morello.

  • @thereforeimustbegod i agree 100 persent dude travis barker is so fucking smooth on the set you can boil a fucking egg on his base drum these 3 dudes are just playing random crap on walmart sets trvis would blow them all away with 1 fucking arm only

  • @4against1 another moron..........if you like other stuff, why comment here...you are quite simply stupid

  • @dretety1 sarcasm much?

  • @thereforeimustbegod

    LOL, thanks I needed a good laugh!

  • @thereforeimustbegod Travis barker threw a triplet? When? Where? That would be a first for that ball sucking twit.

  • @stringcatt Your response makes it clear that you don't know what a triplet is.

  • Grumpycameron couldnt of said it better. Hampton has always been one of my favorites. But long with him, Pert, Jack irons and many more to come people need to realize that you cant be the best drummer. Just state your opinion with respect of others. Damn people need to get over juston beiber. Ok hes not good but stop giving him so much attention whether it is positive or not

  • Is it possible that there is more than one really great drummer? Yes. Yes, it is. Is it necessary to compare these guys to Travis Barker, or Neil Peart, or Steve Smith? No. No, it's not. There have been millions of geniuses, and there will be millions more. What we need to do is just applaud when we see it happen.

  • Fucking epic

  • This was from one of the Timex All Star Jazz performances

  • Cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooool

  • Mindblowing... well, you can tell by the look upon their faces that there was a time when playing good music really meant something...

  • gene krupa is good

  • I never heard of Travis Barker until i saw people bitching about him on these videos. Shows how popular and talented he is.

  • @ProWicket i know what you mean + epic drums!

  • to people who say travis barker is shit: barker is a good drummer, much better than anyone who spends their time on youtube talking shit about other drummers i'm sure.

    to people who say travis barker is god: barker is a damn good drummer, but calm the fuck down. he's not the best drummer out there, no one can really say who is. no need to get a hard-on when you hear him drum.

    to people who say fuck talking about travis barker on drumming vids: sorry. i completely agree. lets watch the video :D

  • Gotta Check out the new site: VICTOR FELDMAN.COM. and the new You Tube Video: VICTOR FELDMAN AND SON TREVOR FELDMAN INCREDIBLE DRUM SOLO. Love it!!!!

  • Have always been a big fan of Gene Krupa - hes the man

  • 1st: Playing the drums in a Suit -> EPIC

    2nd: Innovation -> EPIC

    3rd: Skill -> EPIC

    4th Style Bonus for this Battle: uberEPIC

    You cannot compare this guys to barker or portnoy. You also cannot compare Einstein to Stephen Hawking, because everything those guys are doing today depends on the guys who started it all back in the past. So please stop bitchin around or else you are ignorant fools who dont know shit about anything! Just enjoy it!

  • well that was certainly some fine Friday night entertainment!

  • To that ol' geezer who got on here just to tell us young folk (I'm 40 by the way) about all the bands he's played in ... it still doesn't make you an expert on music. Music is art!! Never call the new music 'trash' just because you can't even understand it. A Different generation speaks a Different language. You don't have to like it, or understand it, why don't u let the new artists express their own ideas. YOU MAY NEED YOUR EARS CHECKED, you could be going deaf. LOL

  • Always think of Hamp playiong vibes; sometimes forget what a kick ass kit drummer he was...

  • nothing like three guys in suits playin drums a killin it!!

    

  • I am in my middel 80's. I've played in dance bands in the 40's and 50's. Too much t of today's music is trash. You cannot even understand the words being sung.

    Those who can't sing or dance, just listen. Who is going to win on American Idol.

    Someone who can hit notes and the audience not only taps a foot but can understand the words. Nuff said.

  • Mick Avery

  • whoaaa I always love Gene's style!

  • hampton kill the drums. what a genius

  • how come every drum video has people bitching about travis fucking barker?

    who gives a shit! i came to this video to watch gene krupa and these goons kill it!!

  • @sonofnothing because these young idiots hop on the first thing they see, no shirt, tats and swing those arms....you can get a chimp to do the same thing.Barker, wouldnt last 5 secinds with me or any of these 3 great drummers...hes just an arm swinger, and dumb ass people think thats COOL!!!!!...and man are they wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @sonofnothing damn straight !

  • @sonofnothing Travis barker is just a loud fucking drummer nothing especial,no techique

    a fucking loud with no soul just good shops...I respect that some..he is no Buddy Rich

  • Gene Krupa che eleganza,che raffinatezza.Uno dei più bravi batteristi di sempre,che sapeva dare il tempo agli altri musicisti con determinazione ma con discrezione,senza "pestare" come un ossesso.

  • Excellence x3.

  • theyr all smiling. its lovely!

  • What do you call a guy who hangs out with musicians????

    a drummer..

  • @Bigrockets101 faggot...

  • can anyone give me a link to the whole song,not just the the drum intro

  • Great Drumming on the part of all three Drummers!

  • Love Gene Krupa.

    George Vreeland Hill

  • KRUPA........enough said

  • I`m pretty sure it would have been possible for Buddy rich to have a drum battle with Neil Pert in the `70`s. =) If only it occured; it would be like God going at it with Zeus!

  • SUBLIME

  • yeah there's talented drummers from all types and eras shut up and listen if you want to learn a thing or two.

  • although it is tru that there are lots of great drummers out there from all eras and styles let's be real here: there's also many talentless morons just getting paid cos they're in a flavor of the month band. most music of the past 20 years or so is just cheap knock-offs of things classic. seriously, travis barker? and the guy even looks retarded. he may get paid but so does the drug dealer down the block. doesn't mean it's right! all that glitters is not gold. right on, BeatlesFury! 

  • Man, come on guys... I understand this is originality in the flesh, but ALL drummers are good. I don't exactly love Barker, but you have to admit he knows how to have a good time behind a trap set. I love all forms of drumming and anyone watching this video should stop bashing on new age drummers, and just calm the fuck down. Drumming = Art, and by that I mean, not everyone is a great drummer but give them time and they could be the next Da Vinci

  • If only I could play as good as these guys!!!

  • i would have loved to have seen a gene kupa,buddy guy and..stevie wonder battle yeah that genius stevie.if you havent seen stevie drum..do a search on here..the guy an do no wrong ;)

  • that made me MINDGASM

  • it really bothers me how people think that they can compare drummers of different eras, styles, and backgrounds without knowing the details. barker is good. these guys are all good. they're just different kinds of drummers.

  • Legends

  • How about Buddy Rich, Krupa and that guy from Union Square in San Francisco with the upside down paint cans and wooden spoons? That's a fucking drum battle I want to see. Each with a tin cup on the floor. Make those cocksuckers earn their pay. Now we're talking.

  • neil pert is better

  • Watching Lionel Hampton is amazing, when you consider that drums was probably a distant third for him, when compared to the vibes and piano.

  • Watch how Lionel Hampton twirls his sticks, tosses them and catches them, etc! Man, that is amazing. I tried to learn drums in high school, and failed miserably. I totally appreciate the talent on this clip.

  • Scopians84 shut up. These guys are friggn beasts. All three you said can't drum to friggn save their lives. face the facts that the trio u mentioned just plain suck.

  • this aint a fucking battel this is banging pots and pans a real fucking battel would be barker vs lars vs joey jordenson that is fucking epic

  • @scopions84 HA

  • @scopions84 lol, sad

  • @scopions84 That's adorable, scopions84. You don't play music do you

  • I studied with Chico Hamilton in NYC privately and at the New School, and he is an amazing player; and one hell of a cool cat.

    Peace

  • ke pasada de notas

  • Wanna hear a joke? Travis Barker.

    Wanna hear a drummer? Neil Peart.

  • NIEL PEART , JOHN BONHAM & KIETH MOON are the SHIT !!! FUK TRAVIS BARKER !!

  • I saw Gene Krupa live when I was a kid. I was playing drums in the 7th grade band (was also learning the drum part to "Get off My Cloud") my band teacher mentioned Krupa (I had no idea who he was). was playing at John Carroll University. I mentioned it to my father who did know who he was (generational thing) bingo!

  • fuck this 3 old man, they're really amazing, esp Gene Krupa, he was the one and only my favourite jazz drummer all the time!

  • whoa whoa whoa why is the white guy in the middle and higher up than the other two...RACIST!! lol

  • @voldmerot nah, he was the biggest name back then. btw, the piano player and bass player in his quartet were black.

  • this is great OMG I dint know Lionel playrd

  • WHOA !!! y is every1 trashin travis ?? all 3 of then did a solid performance and brought their our style , as true then as today .they are the pioneers of drumline :)

  • Comment removed

  • Travis Barker is a sloppy bum, not that he can't play, but there is no comparison

  • I'm a fan of travis barker, he did create his own unique style of playing. HOWEVER the old time drummers, who basically laid the way for every modern day drummer to date, get little to no respect and it's disgusting. You google top ten drummers all time and everyone puts john bonham, keith moon, lars ulrich blah blah blah but none of these guys get any love......pathetic. These guys have soul behind their drumming!

  • @hcdrummer19 His own unique style? Hitting hard?

  • @jmonkballin your retarted you need to check out travis barekr and fucking lern somthing dumbass

  • Am I the only one who's blown away by Lionel Hampton? That guy's amazing, fast as lightning!

  • dennis chambers is a hero, just like these guys

  • relax everyone. posting meaningless (and mindless) comments under the legends is the one thing kids keep consistent with. everybody knows that true professional musicians 'respect' eachother.

  • have to say Krupa was REALLY, REALLY quite extraordinary. I have

    always liked Neil Pert but I'm 40 years old and I was more or less

    born into that era. Mom and Dad told me to look this guy up..and he

    IS awesome. Not a pro so I can only say what I believe to be true. Is

    Pert the best?

  • Lars Ulrich sucks ass guys.

  • Play a trio of Neil Peart, Dave Lombardo, and Lars Ulrich!!

  • A trio of Lars Ulrich, Neil Peart, and Dave Lombardo......

    match that fuckers!!!!!

  • @dvlchlddlx How about a trio of Buddy Rich, Art Blakey, and Louie Bellson?

  • BTW,Chico is 89 &still performing as of 9/9/2010!

  • All grind/death drummers owe their these bruthas high praise!

  • Oh, and thanks for posting.

  • I have this on a compilation DVD, and I gotta say: I had never heard of Chico Hamilton prior to this. He is a great and understated talent, and I am glad that the people who put the DVD together, pulled this out of the archives.

  • lol they have the black guy the lowest

  • cool vid, you can see its an old recording becuase the drummers move so fast that the camare can't even catch up with them. Amazing. And notice how they stil get to do tricks with their drumsticks without ever losing the beat. thank you for uploading

  • Monsters!!! o_0

  • Comment removed

  • The best thing we can do is just ignore this BLINK2BARKER, or Travis4prez, or whatever other of the many screen names he goes by. He obviously gets pleasure from going on the jazz drummer videos and pissing people off talking about how Travis is better and blah, blah, blah. So just ignore this little pussy and stop letting him get his enjoyment out of pissing everybody off. If we sit here and get all pissed off, we're letting him get what he wants. Just ignore the little prick.

  • @ChiTown7721 MAN I GOT TRAVIS BARKER FANS WRITING ME EVERYDAY SAYING BARKER IS A LEGEND ALL BECAUSE I WENT TO A( TRAVIS BARKER QUESTLOVE) VIDEO AND SAY DENNIS CHAMBERS BUDDY RICH CLYDE STUBBLEFEILD , JOJO MEYER,RUSS MILLER AND OTHER GREAT DRUMMERS ARE BETTER THAN BARKER NOT TO MENTION MOST THE DRUMMERS ON YOUTUBE

  • These stupid ass Travis Barker comments are all made by the same dumbass kid. He has a bunch of different screen names: scorpions84, Travisbarker4prez, BLINK2BARKER, etc. He's just some punk, self-esteem movement pussy who has nothing better to do than create a bunch of different screen names and go on videos of the great jazz drummers and insult them. It's just so pathetic. On top of it he actually comments on his own accounts of the different screen names. Just so fucking sad. What a loser.

  • Gene Krupa rocks!

  • Awesome!

  • love the old sound, thanks, I never heard Lionel on traps. awesome.

  • ha their drum sets sound like pots and pans

  • Ahhhh, when the big bands were popular! Classic part of history of drumming.

  • three gay icons together loveley

    espeshially hamton is a wet dream

    your truley

    Rab Hines

  • The most old school drum shed I've ever seen lol

  • I'm not a drummer. I don't pretend to know about the intricacies and technicalities of drumming. I've been a Rush fan for over 30 years and, obviously, I really like Neil Peart.

    But I have to say that watching the likes of this video and of Buddy Rich etc..., I appreciate the skill of these guys.

    As far as I'm aware, drumming is about beat/tempo/rythmn. To watch 3 seperate guys pick up and continue this from another and continue it is amazing. I appreciate skill when I see it.

  • Check out my "Tribute to Gene Krupa" drum solo. I met the great Mr. Krupa several times in my life. At age 67, I am still playing Krupa style drum solos in a big band in Ct. Gene Krupa was a great influence in my style of drumming. It was an honor to meet this great drummer.  The video is called Bob Pettinicchi Tribute to Gene Krupa listed on the Gene Krupa drum solos page. Thanks. Hope you enjoy it. Bob

  • Did Krupa use a snare???

  • Travis Barker is a sorry excuse for a drummer, along with Lars Ulrich and Joey Jordison.

  • @BeatlesFury how do you figure? Barker is pretty talented.

  • @BeatlesFury THANK YOU GO TELL THAT TO THE TRAVIS BARKER FANS THEY WILL WRITE NOTES TO YOU EVERY DAY SAYING THE THREE U NAMED ARE LEGENDS THEY ALL MAD AT ME BECAUSE I NAMED REAL DRUMMERS AND SAID THEY SHOULD BE HOUSE HOLD NAMES NOT BARKER

  • @BeatlesFury I guess you cant compare Travis with the Gene and the rest. They all lived in a different era.

  • @BeatlesFury no doubt that Gene and the 50s gang were good, but Travis's good too. Its really very subjective and I guess they shd all meet in the same era and do a drum battle someday.

  • @benbond003 r u a fucking retard travis can eat theise 3 chumps for fucking lunch dumbass grow some fucking ears retard

  • @travisBrulzz alright. thats cool. thanks for the advice.

  • @benbond003 now that i read closer i see that you are a fucking barker fan sorry if i can across the rong way dude i just fucking hate theise retards that spam on travis peace out d7ude

  • @travisBrulzz LOL, you no worries man. I'm just a fan of people who appreciate drums.

  • @travisBrulzz Travis Barker?? The drummer from Blink 182?? Sounds like your the one that needs to grow some ears or at least clean the crap out of them son. Travis Barker is nothing but a glorified punk drummer. The stuff he plays is so simple it's rediculous and if you think he's a great drummer it only goes to prove how bad you must be. Can you tap and chew gum at the same time or will you end up drooling all over your pants from having to think so hard?

  • @BeatlesFury Dude, Seriously.. There aint any need to take the piss out of the drummers of this time to stress the fact how could they were back then. Travis Barker and Joey Jordison are amazing players and so are Gene Krupa and Lionel Hampton, No point downing amazing musicians just cuz you arent at their level

  • @BeatlesFury travis barker isnt a sorry excuse for a drummer hes quite talented nd ulrich is ok nd jordison sux balls but krupa and hamilton is where it all started (i love krupa)

  • @BeatlesFury they are not sorry excuses for drummers. they are just different styles. these guys are legendary drummers and are amazing but you cant compare the new age drummers to these guys

  • @BeatlesFury I think every drummer is unique in their own way. I mean look at krupa, the man modernised the drum set and help Zildajian give all the cymbals names!

  • @BeatlesFury true but not all rock drummers are John Bonham, Neil Peart and Daniel Carey to name three incredible drummers form the school of rock.

  • @BeatlesFury Danny*

  • @BeatlesFury Fair enough Lars Ulrich and Joey, but Travis is a good drummer, yeah hes not as good as buddy rich and such but he still studied jazz drumming and is a great drummer, just coz he played simple drums in Blink doesn't mean he's not capable of anything more

  • @nubcake272 I'm yet to see him play anything remarkable though, even his soloing is below par. Where have you heard him do "more" than what he does in blink?

  • @nubcake272 get off this video faggot

  • @fu13c - _ -

  • @nubcake272 True....BUT HE's NO GENE KRUPA...there will never be another.

    and Beofre You even say Travis Barker. Just know John Bonham would bury that kid.

  • First of all Gods don`t exist , SECOND Gene Krupa is one of the best drummers over the wolrd and Finally , I usually fuck lars ullrich`s wife , she suck my dick very well while ullrich is trying to know how to play drumms .

  • @carajoyo calm down bro... now tell us how you really feel. don't let these ignoramous kids get you all excited for nothing. anyone who knows 'anything' would know better than to watch the greats and cut 'em down.

  • FIRST of all , Gods don`t exist , SECOND Mr krupa is one of the best drummers over the world and finally I fuck lars ullrich`s wife she sucks my dick very well while ullrich is trying to play drumms

  • one of keith moons main influences.

  • Never knew Hampton played drums as well as vibes.

    Phenomenal!

  • OMG I have a long ways to go in my drumming. That was just mind blowing. Such a wonderous sight and sound!!! Absolutely beautiful rhythm. I'm amazed, that's all I can say :)

  • Fu**ing this Fuc**ng that, where are your manners. Grow up a little, use your language skills and communicate clearly. Your opinion is your own. It's too bad you have to express it in the way that you do, because the rest of the people here, seem to really enjoy the music for what it is. Have respect, for it is earned. These musicians have paid the price. And so what if the sound quality is not of today's standard. Take it for what it is. Quit nit picking...

  • @BLINK2BARKER you're either deaf or retarded. probably both at the same time. fuckin' lars ulrich? c'mon! who are you trying to kid? how can you compare him to these drummers? this guy ain't in the same league. never was, never will be. i don't understand what is there to like about his playing. he sticks to the basics for over 20 years. never pulls out anything interesting or imaginative... in two words: he sucks.
