roy haines

[drummerman558]

Nice job spelling his name wrong. Great playing though. One of the greatest drummers in history. Not quite as good as he used to be but that is to be expected at his age.

[XxxFastestDrummerxxX]

roy haynes is a god...the is not but..

[anandanaga999]

I have one of Roy Haines Gonads in a jar by my bed and I bless it every morning

[jeffkahl]

damn if this is how someone can drum at 80 (and he's now 85) there's hope for us all! he's positively BURNING here!

[neilpeartrocks2112]

my parents just saw him for their 19th anniversary... i didnt get to go because, which killed me but he is such a sick drummer. jazz drumming is massively intricate and complicated

[2UIROGA]

hell yeah snap crackle! u gotta love the intro i love the drums in the solo

hell yeah what a drums dude!

[mlcoo17]

He was born in 1925, so he's older than you might think. Of course this is a very old clip.

[MMMuller]

@mlcoo17 this is 2005 modern drummer festival, he turned 80 that year, do the math.

[spacitydrummer4JC]

..he's amazing on "Snap Crackle"

[Chase0106]

This was a few years ago. At least 6, and that was just when I first saw the clip. From looking at him, I'm pretty sure he's in the sixties.

[Demetriwalker]

He don't look 80. Sure doesn't dress like it. His grandson Jeremy is a beast.

[Saxyman14]

I have no idea how he still manages to play like this at his age. I want to know his secret. If I harness his power at my age, no telling how long I could live and still play.

[webstercat]

@Saxyman14

If your ears and memory are still good the chops will not be an issue. Watch Roy, very easy of motion, great chops, still playing with great taste.

[mieleke]

inspiration.....

[maxwellbutton]

Roy is my hero

[chungiemunchin]

One of the most beautiful things about music is the playing does all the speaking one needs to do.....indeed, we all hear the playing over what a musician says about himself or what others have to say. I would like to add, Roy Haynes is DA MAN!

[maxwellbutton]

roy is soooo great!!

[JDA315]

I just saw him play yesterday at Memorial Union Theatre in Madison it was AMAZING one of the cats u gotta see before he dies

[Windbreaker777]

Yeah, I'm gonna go see him in a couple weeks. Really excited to see a legend like this.

[Bebopita]

uno dei miei favoriti .

[stalliec]

I went to his 80th birthday party at the Artist Quarter in St Paul, and he played two sets just like this. I got to meet him backstage. He is one awesome person. He let a high school kid come up and play his drums in the middle of one set! He's very cool...

[isralihora3467]

but wait, are those steve gadd signature sticks?

[drummer78]

You're joking right?

[isralihora3467]

damn, 80!!! geez, he looks pretty young to me!!

[gregoryburrows]

Roy: the greatest living master of his generation on the drums. Peer of Elvin, Max, Art, Mel Lewis, Billy Higgins... the torch-carriers as laid down by Papa Jo and Kenny Clarke... and Roy is the last one standing! I bow to The Man!

[paukenmeister]

I dig the ergonomic setup.

[tettestagg]

Don't know for sure if he's 80 on this video, he can be maybe 78. But it doesn't matter. He plays fucking great, man. He's the only musician in history who evolved himself from 60 years until now.

[ackeiswetter]

His is over 80 and has been playing proffesionaly for over 60 years +. He has seen it all

[Laurenan69]

no way.... on THIS VIDEO he is 80 ?

[7spqr7]

this cat is what, 80? ridiculous.

[gomezzzzza]

roy haynes is a madman.
