[ggill1970]

this is a great one, good bebop themes....an era where he was adding the hi-hat stuff & his moeller / singles were at a nutty level. thanks for the post (never seen) !!

[coldmv]

I love how great drummers don't need huge kits to play so well.

[FurlanPaolo]

@coldmv The funny thing is that Steve Smith use to play a 7-piece drum kit.

[michzak]

Anyone knows what the triplet fill is played like from 01:02 min till 01:04 min ?

[Kelavmeister]

@michzak That's the basic "Bonham" triplet thing which is just R-L-K repeated, and orchestrated very tastefully!

[ThomasMetal75]

Not much complex about, but it grooves so much that complexity isn't important here. AWESOME!

[bullrage74]

its a shame he never could show off in that pos main stream band Journey

[thickpooxbox360]

very max roach ish

[Cristikaka78]

@thickpooxbox360 this drum solo is a tribute to max roach, max wrote that drum melody he plays in the beginning and what the whole solo was based off of

[qubert4139]

[longfade]

@rith5

Every time I get on Youtube I am just amazed at how incredibly stupid some people are. One of these days I'll learn to read comments from people like you.

[rith5]

@longfade That will be a happy day :)

[tripleheshy]

I was hoping for a clearer, two channel version. Thanks so much.

[Winchinmagic]

@tripleheshy Thanks for the comment.

[Winchinmagic]

No problem, Thanks for the comment.

[EliteSlime]

Thanks for this upload. This sounds much better then the other one which only had one channel of sound with a very weak second channel at best. I really enjoy this drum solo. Thanks again.
